This and that

Aloha! Thimgs are picking up a bit.

I needed a printer and mine had not come in yet, so I borrowed one. Got it home, only to find that I didn’t have a cable for it. Today (as usually happens) my printer arrived, so the borrowed printer can go back. Just bringing it home was enough of a threat to make my own printer show up!

Then, I have been wanting to borrow a drill so I can relocate my telephone line to a more convenient place by the computer. I have been on dialup for weeks. True to form, my high speed internet got hooked up today. Minutes later, my drill showed up in the mail…

I was listening to “Daves Diner” a simulcast rock/oldies show on the radio when I heard a trivia question. I knew the answer, emailed Dave, then promptly went on to other things in another room, only to remember an hour later that I forgot to listen if he mentioned my answer and email.

I called my agent yesterday but did not reach her. I sent her email telling her that it is time to list my house in Georgia. That listing will be a “worldwind” one I believe. They will be featuring it on the website, in the magazine, etc. The faster it sells, the faster I can plow down the macnut trees and get the new coffee plants in the ground.

Here in paradise (a registered trademark of the Hawaiian Islands), I have yet to hear that the closing date for this farm has ben set. Now that I mentioned it, I fully expect that they will camm me in the morning with the date. This has been a year so far in planning and waiting!

Today begins the “Year of the Monkey”, but I have already had my hand full chasing other animals around. I have gotten quite good chasing geckos out of the house. Then there are those turkeys, chickens, roosters and quails in the yard.

The past week or so has been spent getting my website and shopping cart ready. I told the printer to go ahead and print the front and back labels and await dlivery. I also have decided on my first few website offerings and need to set prices.

I got a call two days ago from someone I know whose wife wants to create some gift baskets with my coffee. Now I have to determine how much coffee they want in a bag and whether the bags I have will suffice. Whatever bag I use will have to fit the darn labels. I’ll have 5,000 of them and have no plans anytime soon in getting other sizes

As you might suspect, the sunsets past the lanai ahve been fantastic!

I went down to give them notice that I will be vacating the storage unit at the end of the month and had a nice chat with the resident manager there about computers and LAn, etc.

I also am considering a part-time position which will bring in a bit of cash. That would be nice because I have not had a job in quite some time and I am using quite a bit of savings on things like repairing the transmission in the Honda passport, taking care of house repairs and so on.

Although I enjoy sitting home doing nothing, extra cash would also be enjoyable. Let’s see how that project works out.

Until next time…
