Still on the Edge in Sumas

Well so I got to clear a tree out of a friend's pasture down in Acme, Washington. Wound up with maybe a quarter of a cord of firewood; chopped and split and stacked in the back yard now...drying over the summer for next winter. We'll need more but its a start.

In other news I'm only now recovering from about the worst bout of flu I've ever experienced. Starting last Thursday and only now dissipating one week later. Some say I got off easy but I'm not so sure. The weird part was Mark was equally sick at the same time, same thing it seems. It started in upper respiratory and then systematically broke down everything else--sinus, muscular, gasto-intestinal, you name it. A very nasty bug indeed but we both seem to be slowly recovering.

US Bank claims that someone phoned in and changed my address back in Dec 07. Since then I've never received any billing statements for my credit card w/them. Since I failed to notice one less bill, now I'm not only in debt three months of charges but my account went into arrears and was sent to collections. Still trying to get to the bottom of that one. One more reason to stay away from consumer credit.

What with interest rates being lowered again by the Fed, I've been thinking about refinancing. If I could save a point or two, it might mean an extra couple hundred bucks saved per month.

So is there anything interesting happening with you, Whoretense? Chopping wood and flu symptoms and interest rates do not make for gripping reading. Sorry bout that.

A friend has several electric chairs (wheelchairs not killer chairs) for sale. Cheap. Maybe I can dream up a new electric remote project? Other than that, still waiting for the right time to paint the van (again). All for now...
