Jonathan’s Mindless Blog

After an incredibly long break, I’m finally making a new entry.  Just as a summary since I last posted…  my renter told me he was leaving, I’ve had a community meeting every Monday since I can’t remember when (and they’re not over yet), got a new tenant before Daniel ever left, worked my tail off getting the place cleaned up, painted and little things improved, got a new kick-tail super energy efficient front-load washing machine, put another 1k miles on the bike… anyway, you get the idea.  I’ve been wonderfully busy and now I have some time to relax a little, so I’M BACK!  Last night I got a whole lot of my finance stuff straightened out.  It’s been since December of last year since I’ve updated my spreadsheet with my utilitiy usage and graphs, so I got it all filled out and a ton of paperwork filed.  I also got all my rental stuff in order and I’ll make a little money by the end of the year, YEAH!

On other fronts, I’m working on getting my dream property (40ish acre farm), working with the bank and a lawyer to try to pull off something special, and hopefully will have some firm(ish) numbers today or Monday and will find out if this is even a do-able project.

Also, I’m re-focusing how I’m using my time.  The past couple of years, I’ve been heavily involved in the community organization, but as of late, I have rearranged my priorities, and I’m spending much less time with that and spending more with J.  It’s a whole lot more fun and rewarding than anything else I’ve been doing.

If you’re still reading, you’re probably bored out of your mind, but the end of the post is near!  Next weekend we’re vacationing in Colorado Springs, CO to see some fall colors (if they’re still hanging on), my friends and what I hear is some beautiful scenery.  Hopefully will bring back some good pictures. (I got a new CF card that will hold about 1500 pics!).
