Yeah wife looked over our 'lectric bill. Air conditioner we got now, raises the cost about $24 per month. The company only started billing monthly this year. Before it was doing quarterly averaging which irked her no end. Kept getting $300 - $500 bills, which I suppose was on par but when it comes due and we're in a lurch because X has happened first and needs Y to fix up ... rough.
She says to me yesterday, "might get an early Fall." It would be nice but I'm not exactly keen to put odds on it. Already started gathering some early fallen walnuts under the trees. Looking to maybe get into turning those out this year, that is if'n anyone seems to take interest in offering helping. Figure i can sell them around $8 per lb at the least, been a while back but recall my grandma used to get $7 for hers and folks would have paid more, gladly.
Wife has a windfall getting near time to start doing its pay out. We're hoping that can help her get the truck loan paid off, get us closer toward being ready to find a place.
Kind of rough here. Her dad has twice now lied about stuff I allegedly told him. He runs short on money and gets all cranky, I'm usually the target despite it likely having been his other daughter and her husband leeching.
Had fun with him one year. He let me take off on his riding mower. "Now, it'll toss ya around," he said. I got to going round the laps. Come up to him, slowed to a stop.
"You can be lucky I like up the ass sometimes," i told him. He stood there cracking up harder than I had seen him do in a while.
No point in him playing Atlas, or anybody for that matter.
ETA: Yep, i know, I know I'm a dirty old dog and an incorrigible cranking nutter. You're not? What's your excuse?
I CAN BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!
