I was hoping to get some nice weather and take a photo but here goes. I am moving.
15 years on the farm were a lot of fun but it is just too much to maintain. I have literally hundreds of projects big and small stalled out in varying stages of completion. Time to do some serious downsizing and do just those things that give me joy. music, blacksmithing, photography, ham radio and electronics.
Trish and I will be married in a few weeks and she is a 4th generation Seattle native (yeah - one of them). We both love the ocean and we lucked out on an amazing piece of waterfront property in one of the San Juan islands. It needs work but we got it for a stupid-low price and the work needed is all stuff I have done before. Signed the papers yesterday and had the first of a horde of contractors visiting and compiling bids today. Got broadband internet to the house this morning at 8:00AM - much faster than at the farm - Gig v/s DSL.
Going to have Murphy Auction sell off everything I do not want at the farm and then list it later this fall. Trish is also an artist and we have a lot of common interests so we will be setting up a studio in the garage and I will be bringing in a small shed for my forge and welding.
Found out that the nearby town has a really good Mexican restaurant - ate there tonight.
