Long version:

House: Sure, I promised I’d have more projet and techie stories on here. And I will. Especially since I’ve bought a house.  The to-do list on the house is long and includes floors upstairs, can lighting to replace the ‘boob’ fixtures (thanks to my brotherinlaw and sister for that term) some paint and love in places, windows at some point and an office fit for an at home worker.  I’ll share some projects and photos as I install the hot tub and monkey inside and out.

Cars: Right now the 2000 Corvette is getting the heads torn off to see what is causing the knock (I’m hoping lifter!) and of course a few months ago I sold the 1998 corvette. I bought 2006 mini cooper S to track and drive daily, with the yukon getting a respectable 13mpg average for the trip to texas and back pulling the corvette.

Family: Luci is still alive and annoying. Jenn and Justin are enjoying their new home and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grayson Michael Whitcomb later this month!  Ashley and Adam are making things official with a wedding in June of this year, and then moving into on campus housing at USF while Ash finishes her undergrad degree.  Mom is still plugging away at nursing program and is excited to be a grandma finally! Dad/Chel/& the Crew are doing fine and putting in the last few days of school at Chester for the year.  Gma and Gpa Wiens are safely home form Texas and planning on a restful summer with trips to CA, WA, and HI. Gma Red is living in the black hills for now, but may be moving back east, possibly my back yard. Gpa Verl and Opel are doing fine and planning several trips this summer with the RV and the boat.

Lake: is open! We put the water on and bug bombed successfully. We’ve got a couple leaky valves and a running toilet, but otherwise it’s all good in the neighborhood!

Hopefully I’ll catch up this week with lots of hard work. (ha, house on Monday night and Idol Tuesday – Wednesday… doubtful!) Been looking around at places to move to as this furnace thing keeps not getting fixed, and have found some nice options. Lots of the “Less sqftage for more money” options, and then a few that are truly intriguing. For instance, going to look at a historic building in downtown Dell Rapids with shop space (For SiC!) below and a 2200sq ft (!) apartment above. That’s 4400 sq ft of space! I’d have to buy it, but my mortgage payments would be all of $450 for it.. (erh, makes the $900 rent seem retarded eh?) Details aren’t sorted on the property yet, as in I don’t know what kind of Internet I can get, and it doesn’t currently have a garage (must see if I can fix that before moving!). Otherwise it looks promising as an option. Lots of people are suggesting that Dell Rapids isn’t close enough to Sioux Falls, but I think I might like the separation. I’ve begun to feel like a lot of people feel like I can’t run my life. Like they need to constantly push me in the right direction. I’m capable of living without someone constantly nagging me, and some people can’t see that yet. I know they all mean well, but it’s starting to get annoying!
