Hi Y'all,
Can't recall the last time I gave an update on my progress in moving back to MN.
I decided to rent an apartment for six months. My house has shown a lot since Labor Day, and there is an offer on the table now, but we are still $28K apart on price, so not holding my breath. Meanwhile, I really needed to get a place of my own and found a nice apartment with a six-month lease. I hope to sell/buy during the coming six months, but at least this will give me a chance to see how I'd like apartment-style condo living.
The grandboy is doing well. He is 5.5 months old now, smiley, good-natured, and even when he has something to complain about, you can see he tries to be a good sport about it. I am so glad to have a place where the kids can come and visit, and I can cook and bake to my heart's content.
This morning, as my sister and I were moving a small load of stuff in, one of the renters here, who is moving to a different apartment in this building, asked me if I wanted a dining set and a loveseat. Since my plans to go to MQT to get my furniture this weekend fell through, I am so glad to have the use of this stuff! She said that when my furniture gets here, I should just let her know and she'll arrange to have the stuff taken away. She is on staff here. The people on staff also live here, and most have been here since the place was built or soon after, some 20+ years.
So, I am going to pamper myself this winter, and the only shoveling I plan to do is during the hunt!

I've also noticed that I seem to have a lot more planes flying over my house since CM complained about the noise they make flying over his house. Coincidence? Hmmmm.
He's is my best friends Dad - Wondering if there is any info out there?
I only have to get over the fact that everyone in the homebrew store seem to have the same distant look, as though there is a cornfield they'd rather be standing in.
Anyone else played with home-brewing?
Sorry..voyeuring around AM's. Do you guys all live near each other?
I'm waaaaaaaayyyy over here in OH.
Or......On the other side of the Cheddar Curtain. :grin:
We vacationed in your fair state in August at Put In Bay. Had a good time.
Beer, Munchies, Turkey & Sloppy Joes - 1919 Root Beer Floats, etc...
My Parents and Bro&Sis-in-law (and nephews) are stopping by as well.
Hi DTD :litesmile:
Now there's a journalist attempting to get people all fired up.
Between the Earth's and Moon's 'path'......yes, but the Moon will be in a different location when this happens.

Although it does look like a direct hit to the Moon was not too far off. :ooh:
I'll be interested to see if any good high resolution shots of the asteroid come out. I like how one site mentioned Hubble couldn't capture images because the asteroid moves to fast. Duh, Hubble is a deep space telescope, it wouldn't get very good images of something up close anyway.
