I Made It.....Barely.....

Almost rolled the truck.

It wasn't pretty. Dropped it off onto a low soft shoulder and all hell broke loose. It was a handful with a crosswind.

Anyway.....We're unpacked and pretty much settled.

I talk to my new employer next week.

I finally got a chance to get down and see the lot we bought for the first time. Pictures don't do it justice. I'm very pleased. We should break ground within 30 days.....I hope.

Then we took a walk down the street to the boat launch, our dock and slip, and the lake. It was ten times more beautiful than I had imagined.

So uh, I'm buying a boat.

Soon.....

Allen

Glad you survived the trip.

You needed another money pit anyway. Enjoy the search for the boat.

You'll likely have to come to me.

I doubt I'll be wandering very far from the lake.

Glad you arrived safe, Allen.

You know what they say:

Jeep = Just Empty Every Pocket

Boat = Bring Out Another Thousand
