Sorry this is what motivated me to come back, but...
RIP to my poor furball, who had to take the long nap this morning after becoming too frail to walk across the room. Since last night he didn't even want to eat more than a little bit of ice cream, and this morning he lacked the energy to even meow in protest while I took him in the car. It was certainly time, but that doesn't make it easier.

Poor old fuzzbutt.

Casually Deliberate
We probably had bad information but the whole venture was ill-advised. If anybody tries to rope you into a "let's buy a duplex so we can live in one half and rent out the other and it will pay for itself in no time" scheme, run like hell and don't look back.

I'd buy a duplex and do this, but I'm not going to expect that the other rental pays enough to float the whole thing or that I'm going to get rich quick by any means. Would be a ton of work. Not sure I'd want to live on-top of the person who is renting from me either. Best would be small home for myself, and duplex short trip away.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it's been... yeah a rough day. I'd say "up and down" but it's more like "down and downer". Even pulling out the vacuum cleaner to clean up from his food I thought "oh, let me make sure he's in the other room first so I don't scare him".

In #adulting news, we literally just moments ago got an offer on AG's condo. Two weeks and a day on the market. Wow, Austin.

Internet keeps kicking on and off here at work. Worthless day here. Nothing's getting done, not even leisure time on the ole bike forum.

So sad to hear. Glad, though, that you were able to capture some great images to go along with your memories. I know that you're not big on prints, but this might be a good time to make exceptions.
