No golf for the rest of this week. Leaving tomorrow for Texas. A friend has a lake house that a group of us are meeting up for a couple of days of fishing and drinking. Should be a good time

Have fun!

I was hitting the ball well today. Maybe we won’t be DFL in the member-member tourney.

There is a lot to do in this old dump. And it will cost money. Please find me eight cheap 8’ sliding glass doors. We knew that going in and I can handle a fair amount of it myself. I like doing fixer upper stuff. That will keep me busy. My vision is to restore it to its original, unique 1970s glory.

I like it here. Best of both worlds, big city amenity crap when needed and historic 200 year old crap and associated charm.

Oh yeah. It’s a college town.
I was remarking that 0700 does not equal 7:30am, even for us AF folks

When we were first in central PW county, it seemed the same. The amoeba that is DC/NoVA just continues to expand, and leaves no ground untouched. Get the place ready and just wait for the wave when the blue line comes across the Occoquan. I'm guessing that will boost values by 20% or so

We are a solid 30 miles from Occoquan. Traffic is a bitch as ever. I don’t have to deal with it. Been teleworking and I take a train and sleep. But it’s growing here too. Right down the road. It’s unavoidable. The good thing is they will never encroach upon our neighborhood. We made sure of that with the city. The values are increasing accordingly. I’ll take it.

Yeah, no shit. I can't seem to break away for semi- retirement with this new KW dealership going up. It seems every nut, bolt, outlet, wire nut, toilet, light, shelf and drywall turns into a a 6 hour fuggin meeting about stupid shit. Just build the fugger and let's get on with it.

Fuggin planning engineers . It was February last week.

Heard Garf and rest of the Japanese are going to start releasing the radioactive water from FujiKahma or whatever that failed plant is called.

Is this where we get Godzilla or another Cajun or Porter Steeb?

I am. I am also enjoying this orchestration stuff so I’m kinda good for now. Telling people how when where and why to do shit and telling them their shit it effed up and jump to it now and fix it this way and they do, chop chop. It’s pretty cool. And all jokes aside it is actually serious bidness. Truly. It’s important. Sleep well.

It’ll go with the currents eventually reaching the west coast of the U.S. where it will sterilize the liberals. Huge win for the earth.

Daughter in law relatives got a $150k estimate for their house and pole barn from the tornado damage in March.
