Good morning!!!!

46 degrees now and a high of 64 predicted (in York County PA)

The septic tank inspector is coming today...that's the highlight of my day, I guess.

Although I listed our house on Craigslist and sold it, we're contracted to a local realtor. Although I'm sorry (now) that we signed the contract (before I had advertised it on CL), it's a done deal and we cannot break the contract.
One thing does bother me...she's (the realtor) constantly trying to get me to hire her husband to install a manhole culvert (extends the tank manhole to above grade). Although this will be a requirement in 2013, it is NOT a requirement now. I'm not going to go into all the details, but I'm thinking this realtor's pushing her husband's company is quite unethical...perhaps unethical enough to end the contract.
There's a lot going on here, as you can imagine (although most of the packing is done) and this is BS I don't need right now.

Anyway, although it's a buyer's responsibility for the tank inspection, I'm bringing in a certified person to protect my interests. He will know the regulations and what is actually necessary.

We don't see many ticks around here. Don't really know why. It is so warm here, the ground hasn't frozen yet, we might get a lot of bugs surviving the winter. At least I don't have to shovel the rain today!!

we finally have a sunny morning and 32 degrees.it will only get up to 38 today.

Lots of wind with rain overnight, clearing thru the day and may get some sunshine this afternoon, high of 9C/48F.

Roy, Realtors are interested in making money and I do believe that sometimes they forget about ethics. They may not even have the best interests of the client in mind.
I would NOT be inclined to do any business with the husband.

Mossflowerwoods, are you seeing any deer. ... I too have been out hunting and I guess you could call it sitting or walking as I have not seen a single buck while I had the gun in hand.

Wayne,

I've had one shot at a forked horn (missed with 12ga slug at at least 85 yards), and I've startled a number of deer and had them jump and run (I won't take a butt shot), I assume most of them were does, but a few were solitary and I believe COULD have been bucks.

I missed last season with a busted collarbone (on my shooting side of course) but there are a lot more deer during the daylight hours this season than two seasons ago.

But honestly, I like just walking in the woods with a weapon... I'll not cuss too much if I don't get my limit this year...

Good hunting sir!
David

True Grit,

Happy Retirement!

I have a 3 year old, and in this economy I will NEVER get to retire... All my investments, stocks, 3 homes, etc. have merely gone sideways or down in the last 10+ years...

I'm jealous sir. Bravo for you! Enjoy every moment.
Be well,
David

[MossflowerWoods]

I'll be day to day on here as it appears my brother is going downhill quickly and I need to take mom down there pretty soon.

Randy,

You & your brother are in my prayers sir. I lost one of my little brothers recently myself. I feel your pain...

Be well,
David

Roy,

I am in agreement with Mousefield regarding not using the contractor.

I would simply tell the lady firmly but politely, "NO THANK YOU Ma'am"...

Best of luck, be well.
David

60 degrees and very windy................Love the warmth of this winter so far. About to change tonight though.

[MossflowerWoods]

The weather was SO NICE this morning, that AFTER I fixed a broken board on the pasture fence, I rode my Harley to work today.

It was a LOVELY ride...

Be well,
David
