How Low Can It Go . . .
Jan and I headed out down to the Clear Lake area about 10 am on our quest to empty out our 10’ x 25’ storeroom before the end of the year, so we can finally get rid of it. I mean, we’ve only had it since August 1994.
That’s right., we’ve had the storeroom for over 20 years. And it was originally only for a few months. We rented it to store a lot of our furniture while we were doing some remodeling before Jan’s parents came to visit. Then it just became a convenient place to tuck stuff away. And in 2007 when we moved out of the house and into an apartment as we started getting ready to go full-time in 2008, it really came in handy.
We first all met up at Floyd’s Cajun Seafood for lunch. We’ve all been eating at Floyd’s for about 15 years, and it never disappoints.
One really funny thing that happened was when Landon was trying to show his Uncle Chris how to play a game on his phone.
Finally, apparently exasperated with his uncle not catching on, Landon handed him the iPad and said, “Here. Play this one. It’s easier.”
Out of the mouth of babes.
Then it was right down the road to our storeroom where we started hauling stuff out and sorting it into piles for Goodwill, Trash, Keep, and Look-Through. We actually only worked for about an hour and a half, but made a lot of progress, taking loads to Goodwill and the dump. A couple of more times like this should finish things up.
If we get to move down to Galveston Bay RV Resort in the next week or so, we should have no problem wrapping it up.
Leaving the storage facility, Lowell and Brandi, and Jan and I drove over to the Baybrook Mall Starbuck’s for Chestnut Praline Lattes before all meeting back at Chris’
While Chris taught Landon to fly our new quadcopters, I worked on resurrecting Linda’s desktop computer. I had to go through a couple of other computers to find a power supply that would work in hers, but finally got it working again.
Saying our goodbyes about 3:30, we made a couple of stops before finally heading back toward Conroe around 4:30. Along the way, I was very happy to see this diesel price.
Hope it keeps going down.
After more traffic than I expected, we finally got home about 6:15, after a nice, productive day. And tomorrow will be a stay-at-home day.
Yeah, right.
