Moving, yet again...

[Zephaniah W Nash]

We've found a small rental property less than a mile from where our eventual house will be, so we're moving out of the city to the country, which should make it much easier for house- and job-hunting.

May not have our own internet access for a while, but with my parents living across the road, we'll be able to check in on things with theirs until we have our own. That'll let me keep my regular e-mail address, for them what have it (or want it), as well as being able to at least check in at the Pub.

When we find a house to have moved on-site, there will, of course, be a housewarming party. As Pub-members are scattered all about, we figure to have an extended party for six months or so -- anyone who finds themselves in Texas will be welcome to come, and we'll start their own personal installment of the festivities.

Will keep in touch as we're able -- it just may be sporadic for a while. It's worth it to get into the country, I'm thinking. And while pyracy up and down the Brazos River may not be all that financially rewarding, it should be much more spiritually rewarding...

Cheers!

Well, we're pretty well into the rental place -- though not even close to being unpacked and what you might really call "moved in" just yet.

And with semi-regular access to a whopping 26.4 Kbs internet connection, I might only be able to check, say, one Pub room per day, I'll try to keep up and say hello as possible...

Hope all have happy holidays!

Good luck with the move. I admire anyone who can pull up stakes and begin anew somewhere else.

[Merrydeath]

good luck with the move too, which I will probably do before too long too.. and look for a new job too..

Much luck and love to ya.. Calm seas and faire winds.

A quick update -- we have our very own internet access again, and it's faster'n dial-up!

Don't let anyone tell you that it isn't possible to hook up one of those laptop wireless cell-phone cards to a desktop. It just takes a special order and five minutes of work, and you too can have reasonably fast internet access out in the country!

Gotta love bastardizing technology! The McGuyver award to ye lad!

How goes the hunt for a permanent home?

[Zephaniah W Nash]

A bit slow so far, but folks here are still recovering from the holidays, the flu, the weather, and the cattle prices (which are actually working well for us, right now -- we're expanding, rather than selling off).

One of our possibles backed out, which we can live with, just hate to lose an option. Lots of houses for sale, but they all want you to buy the land they're on, instead of just the house to move -- which isn't at all surprising, of course.

Plus, I'm trying to kick the coffin-nail habit, so a bit more down time wouldn't hurt too much... Except for the chewing on the drywall habit I'm cultivating to replace the cigs...

I'll just need more swordplay and such to keep me from going nuts, I reckon.
