As to yesterday's MG sale, the buyer texted me today to let me know that he had gone to the post office this morning, gotten them to give him back the letter with the check to me that he'd mailed the day before (because the Post Office does that all the time, right?) and he was now sending it overnight, arrival for Wednesday. Sent pictures of the check and new Priority envelope and signature requested now. So my guess is that no check really got mailed yesterday, even though he'd said one was. And since he's sending a personal check for some reason (?), you'd better believe that I'm going to hold the gun until it clears my bank.
In other news, I'm just back from two weeks out west, camping with Belle on my new mine property.
Belle does not care to camp when it is in the 20's at night. But she tolerates it now that she has her own sleeping bag.
Yep, sale is final and I now own a fair-sized chunk of desert land and over a dozen miles of underground tunnels, drifts, winzes, raises etc., And Belle and I just spent two weeks on-site surveying our new domain and occasionally going into town to meet the new neighbors. It's definite now. The Lair is moving westward in the coming months, heading out to the great expanse. But it'll be gradual, and of course there will be pics and tales and more blogging than you've seen here recently.
All there, and all mine. And much, much more blogging to follow regarding this shift.
Oh, wow.
ReplyDeleteIs this a permanent leaving New Orleans or will you be living in both places?
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet. Since the pandemic this place has lost a lot of it's luster.
DeleteIf you're happy with it, then we're happy for you. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm way happy with it.
DeleteGood news? :-) Enjoy your privacy, you'll have plenty of it! But the commute for beignets and coffee is gonna be hell...
ReplyDeleteI can make coffee. Beignets are tourist food anyway.
DeleteHow long is your schlep to the corner market?
ReplyDelete45 minutes or so. 20 if I really want to get ripped off at the gas station mini mart half way to town.
DeleteHey Murphy;
ReplyDeleteJust think, you can shoot something without scaring the crap out of the neighbors. Something positive to think about.
Oh I know. Already planning my thousand yard range.
DeleteWay to go, Murph!
ReplyDeleteDoes it have any buildings on it, or are you going to build?
I gotta do it all. Still exploring options now.
DeleteWow looks great!! What state?
ReplyDeleteLet's just say I'm not too far from Las Vegas and preserve some of the mystery.
DeleteGood enough!! I have a house in Phoenix and a house in Page,AZ>
DeleteWow! I thought you'd retire in NOLA.
ReplyDeleteI did too once. Let's just say that I'm no longer much of a fan.
DeleteAs a fellow mine owner in Arizona, living on site, I can relate to your interest and enthusiasm. Living remotely does have some down sides, but all, I hope that you will be happier. It's painful for me to go to the big city these days.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm tired of the cities and all that goes on. I need this.
DeleteThat makes (at least!) three of us....
DeleteReally,really cool Murph! Once you get more established there, I'd love to come see you. I miss the pups. Being out west has treated us well. Hope it does the same for you!
ReplyDeleteYou better come out!
DeleteLooks like a good place to ride out the death of civilization... I hope I'm kidding.
