fine whine

Arrr, me hearties. Me and the skipper have put out the plank for renting and have set sail for the seas of debt 'round the straits of homeownership. We've been moving some booty over to our new digs and soon we'll be swabbing the decks at both places. Arr.

Um, yeah. We closed on the house today, and I took the day off from work to shuttle some boxes over, sit around and wait for a locksmith, and to put together a hammock with frame from Meijer. All in all it was a productive day, I think, even in light of the fact that now I am potentially going to be paying a quarter million dollars over the next half-lifetime.

Well, maybe a third of a lifetime if I get into some new sort of fitness regimen. I did pick up some sort of weird rowing machine from a friend but haven't yet figured out how it works. It's got two arms with hydraulic pulls and a chair on a track, and that's as much as I've been able to ascertain so far. More on this later, I suppose.
