The offer on the house has been sent. Our place is in total disarray as we now set the house issue on "pause" for nine days.

My camp is set up for festival. I just finished making an addendum to the festival brochure and the schedules it contains which was completely and utterly hosed by the guy whose job it was to do it this year (interestingly, the same guy who raked my wife over the coals for a couple of relatively minor errors last year when she did it). I have purchased appropriate clothing for myself and the kids for going out of town for two days of funeral festivities tomorrow and Wednesday.

Gods willing, I will return to Camp late Wednesday night to resume that part of my insanity, with Fest's official beginning on Thursday. Somewhere in all of this, I need to go by my band rehearsal site and get my guitar and drum...

Next year...I'm relaxing, I swear.

Wow, I can't stop thinking about that house. I really hope you get it. I've been thinking about moving to Montana or Wyoming (Idaho is nice but too many white supremacists)

I wish I could make my current salary, but live over there. I have thought about buying some land and building an earthship.

If you're not familiar with earthships, they are bio-friendly/self-sustaining houses. You should check them out.

Never mind the earthship, you're going to congress.;)

I hope so, but I've got to raise more money. I need to get $3,000 before the end of June. The Republican Liberty Caucus is interested in me, and hopefully I can get some gun groups and tax groups behind me too.

I am late (shame faced) to this, but all the good vibes your way, els. You are a wonderful fellow and deserve good things--the Universe knows this.

As for Radar--dude, I really hope you DO win a Congressional seat even though you called me all sorts of names that we cannot re-print in a family newspaper. I hope you win so that you can SHAKE THEM UP and MAKE THEM SWEAT. If someone ran on that platform, I'd vote for them*.


*never voted for James Traficant

Thanks Brianna. I know if I'm elected, C-SPAN will become one of the most popular channels. But let's not forget that this thread is for Elspode. Let's hope the house is his. I love that house. I wish I could convince my wife to move out of California.

You're thinking of Richard Simmons. ;)

That looks like a nice place Ep. Here's my contribution of positive energy/ expectation for you.

:thumb:

Positive energy was never my strong suit though. And...if negative thoughts and energy made actual visible results, most everyone that I've ever worked with would be long dead.

But seriously....I hope this works out for you.

Nice photo in the member photos section too.

How's Mrs Elspode, and the grandgrandkiddies?

Has anyone thought that Ep and Toad sorta look alike?

And that maybe they are the same person?


OK, I just needed another post to hit 2000.

No, Undertoad is talented and motivated. I just *am*.

Mrs. Elspode is doing quite well, and as for grandkiddies...well, I have but the one, and we enjoyed spending some time with him during the Pagan Festival last weekend.

About half of our posessions are now boxed and in the POD in the driveway. We are going to pause now, and clean up what we have, preparing to begin painting/fixing up cosmetically our house to get it ready to show. Lot of work, here. AC evaporator shot craps and has to be replaced at a cost of $500, coincidentally the exact amount of money we had set aside for earnest money on the new place. Not sure how this will impact the deal, so please keep the good vibes coming, my friends.

... good vibes ... good vibes ...good vibes ...

Just hoping for an update, still thinking about you.

My house is in complete upheaval. PODS is full, and we are now beginning the paint and patch process. The owner of the prospective house is awaiting our earnest money deposit (probably this weekend), and we must have our house available to actively show before they'll accept the contingency.

Life is *extremely* stressful and difficult right now. There's so much going on that I haven't even really had time to write about it here. We're still on the beam, but it is going to be a lengthy process.

Luck to Ya ALL !!!
Any thing good is worth working for !!!
