Cold again, with more damp.\u00a0 Maybe getting to the low 60s like yesterday.\u00a0 We had occasional sun, but mostly overcast, and I expect the same today.<\/p>\n
Spent the morning doing email and phone calls.\u00a0 Actual talking to people.\u00a0 I know, how strange.\u00a0 Had to call the insurance people and get a quote for the new house.\u00a0 NOT cheap as it turns out.\u00a0 Also spoke with them about the work on my Ranger (I can still get it done if I can find the time) and the burglary at my storage unit.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then I spent some time on the phone with the county clerk in Houston County.\u00a0 She was able to pull the deed history for my new properties, and the boundary descriptions.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s pretty cool to go back\u00a0 to the original land grant, Ramon De La Garza in this case.\u00a0 Only took a couple of steps.\u00a0 And I confirmed that the mineral rights were separated from the land rights before it became a subdivision.\u00a0 Most of the area was in timber production prior to the ’70s, and there is still a lot of timber in the area.\u00a0 She printed old scans to a pdf, emailed them to me, and I was good to go.\u00a0 She was apologetic that it cost $1\/page.\u00a0 The $5 is the smallest bill I’ll pay in this process, I’m pretty sure.<\/p>\n
So I made some progress on something.\u00a0\u00a0 We completed the sales contract and got it back to the seller, and hope to close on the 21st of Feb.<\/p>\n
Didn’t make any progress on getting more stuff to auction.\u00a0 I’ll have to email the newest auctioneer and try to get some stuff placed with him.\u00a0 I need to get some bins filled from the burgled unit too.\u00a0\u00a0 Today I’ll do something, so I don’t fall farther behind.<\/p>\n
Girl Scout cookies arrive next week and the house needs to be clear for that.<\/p>\n
I did get some needful things and some good stuff for the house and the new place too.<\/p>\n
The seed display had a LOT of good veggies and tons of flowers in it.\u00a0 I think I’ll scatter a bunch of the flowers at the new place.\u00a0 Most of the veg were varieties I haven’t tried and failed with yet, so I’ll give them a try too.\u00a0\u00a0 The seeds sold 4 packets for a dollar.\u00a0 I never saw any that cheap before, and the label says they have the same number of seeds as the other guys… wonder if they’ll germinate and what the rate will be.\u00a0 It’ll be ‘science-y’ content for sure \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
That’s that for today, I better actually get some stuff done.<\/p>\n
So I can stack some other things that will help more.<\/p>\n
