Back...to the future!
Item one:
Out of the field. Yep, another great NOLS course with a good bunch of students whose minds are now ever so slightly warped toward a more responsible, thoughtful way of life. Caught big fish; the token vegetarian student caught the biggest fish, killed it and cooked it and ate it, and is now a card carrying meat eater, partaking of a deep fried cheese burger on out return.
Item two:
Went to California to see Risa, she is working there as a nurse in the emergency department. Not easy, working in the ED, nor living so far from me... Going to be a difficult year or so to come being apart. I envision many frequent flyer miles being racked up.
Item three:
Back in Flagstaff. And moving out. I plan to be working at the South Pole for Raytheon Global Domination Inc, as a General Assistant (low paid slave) in October, and then living and going to school in Nebraska at UNMC for a year starting in January, to get my nursing degree. All this
means that I'm leaving Flagstaff, for more than the usual 3-6 months of every year. And that means:
Item four:
HOUSE FOR SALE!!
I'm selling my place in Flagstaff, or at least trying to (will rent it out if I can't get a tolerable price). So I've been busy, trying to get this shanty shack into selling shape. I've stained the back porch, replaced the front step, fixed the bathroom door knob, hardwired the sump pump, painted the front door, installed 500 sq ft of wood laminate flooring, and pulled about 247 pounds of horse weeds from the backyard. Today was the annual garage sale, and while I made about $35 for my efforts, more importantly I got rid of LOTS of stuff, especially to this one gal that pulled up and asked about the bookcase I had marked as free. Well by the time she left she hadn't paid a cent but I had managed to load a bookcase, three boxes of books, a desk chair, and assorted other furnishings, decorations, and dust collectors into the back of her rig. Saved me a trip to the dump/Goodwill. She thinks I was doing her a favor, but I'd have paid her to have that junk hauled away.
So that is the news from here. Coming up soon: Demolition Derby! Yep, the Coconino County Fair soon come...
