Coffee anyone ?

[messybun]

Good Morning all!
Second cup underway, and I barely slept last night so today should be a treat! Traveling to Florida with "the girls" for a bachelorette getaway, that includes a stopover in Baltimore for 4 hours. Ugh.
I get into West Palm at 2230 tonight. But...tomorrow-warm weather and relaxation! I've never taken a trip with just the girls, should be pretty stress free.
I'm of course taking my laptop with me, I tend to wake up at ridiculous o'clock, so I can get some stuff done while everyone else sleeps.
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday, I spent most of it packing, and I am not a fan. I always feel like I'm forgetting something.

Next time, before you leave, take mental note of what you use everyday and write a list. Even do a practice run or two to see what fits in the bag. My general rule is always bring one thing way fancier than you expect to need and one thing you can work in. Also, always bring a swimsuit. Trips can take unexpected turns. Then bring whatever clothes go along with the general feel of the trip. Business clothes for a business trip, whatever. I will generally pack a flannel shirt, even in summer. You never know when it’s going to get chilly and flannels have a ton of other uses. Pack your fav makeup, keep it basic. Then just what you note you use often. Deodorant, razor, etc. The list you made in non trip times can be kept in your luggage. That way you don’t forget anything next time.
Have fun with the girls!

Plus get vent a hood put in, must cut hole in roof, there isn’t one at all.

I"m not a big fan of holes in the roof. Is the range in the middle of the room?

Hubbs drank last of the coffee so tea for me. Our buyer will be here sometime today so Pick Up and Clean. New place has water problems, dark dirt in water (red dirt area). Seller claims it’s a sometimes thing. Realtor clueless and on vacation. Customer plumbing or Co Op lines? Pressure check at house was ok. Co Op is checking their end. Ugh. Deal breaker? Is there a Birkey filter in my future? Yeah I probably don’t need much caffeine this morning 😒

It's up against the back wall.

Icky water will turn all your clothes brown.

@Blue Sky do you plan to get a water sample analysis? That might help determine the "issue". If co-op involved, assume not a private well, right? Never an end, right?
Is new place livestock ready? Move in ready? I believe this entire sell/buy was on a pretty tight schedule....is that right?

So it's sunny, windy but, not raining outside! Up to 67 now. DS awoke me early by phone -- out of gas and on side of road. ☹️. I told him fix darned gauge or carry extra in a can!! 😡. A rude awakening to say the least. Just getting 2nd cuppa.🙄. A lot to get done, hopefully the wind has dried grass from when I was outside earlier. Even half awake I could feel the wetness. rethinking my "day off"... life happens.

Indeed. Or yellowish with a delightful bouquet of sulphur. I lived in a small town in Kansas where various agricultures ruined the water. They are still having issues today with quality and quantity. We are tracking down leads on our own water. For some reason (ignorance is bliss?) I’m thinking it’s a fixable problem.

The community water here taste awful. Same owners at new place. I see an under the sink water filter in my future. I buy bottled water now. And I have a Brita pitcher, filters are $20 and don’t last long. Rip off.

Was it Brenham where the water was so bad? I had stopped there with my mom... eating at a restaurant... just incredibly awful.

Then why do you want to put a hole in the roof???? Go out the back wall.

Tell him to get a AAA membership, they will bring gas (presumably 24x7).

Plumber has checked the house lines, all ok. Problem appears to be with the Co Op. Problem also appears to be temporary break being fixed now. There is a separate well to serve the livestock, I wonder if a filter setup could get it people usable in a fix. Also a spring I’d get tested for cooties. The Sellers aren’t terribly helpful. I suspect this is a distress sale and having been through one I have some sympathy. It can be made animal ready in a couple of days. Full fencing will take longer, we need outside labor.
