I loce this place

Post by akorcovelos »

Been crazy busy the last few months getting ready to sell our house. Kinda stopped posting on anything but Facebook unintentionally since I’ve been preoccupied. Guess I scared a few folks around here as I got a couple concerned messages checking in on me :)

Sadly I’ve been way too busy working on the house to get anything done on the boat...I still have the bravo 1 sitting on the build stand half disassembled, so hopefully I’ll be able to get back to it before spring. That will be the only upgrade (if you want to call it that?) for the next season as our new house will be consuming my time and money for the summer.

Anywho, I’ll try and check in more often. Loce you all!

Yeah, I don't post a ton, but read here more than Facebook for a while now. I think our misinformation and drama ratios compare favorably to the social media giants :)

ha, yeah we haven't even got the new house yet. Our neighbors family has owned the house for 135 years, so they have quite a bit to get out of the house before we close the deal, lol. We've been drooling over the house for 14 years, never thought it would go on the market, so when we got word it was, we started scrambling to get things in order. Hopefully we'll close sometime in May, until then we're doing roof, siding, gutters, landscaping, and a million other things to our house to get it ready to sell. Moving sucks, but hopefully it won't suck as much since I can see the new house from my front door. :D

Facebook is just really easy on a phone, so thats where I end up with the little free time I have for such things. Now that I'm working from home full time I don't sit on the internet as much as I used too, lol.

Funny I quit Facebook, due to privacy concerns, read some on here, but figured I was safer hanging out with this bunch of internet weirdo's than being tracked and categorized on Facebook.

you're 100% correct Dud, this place is 100x safer and better than Faceplace. I'm a sucker for convenience, and when I have only have a few min to jump on FB is just easier. Plus, this place has gotten so busy it gives me anxiety trying to keep up with the posts, lol. That said, this will always be my internet home, where I pop it and eat all the food out of the fridge and dump a bag of dirty laundry for you all to enjoy. :)

That’s right after we move into the new house, I’ll need to play it by ear. You renting a house or is it at a condo complex?

I rented a cabin and my brother rented one also. I'm sure that won't be the only we are there this coming summer.
