With the purchase of a new flat screen TV, it was time to have our DISH Network account moved from Lake Havasu to Tucson. The technician came out yesterday morning, installed the new DISH antenna, ran some new cables, and had the TV up and running within an hour or so.
We're slowly making the transition from our old home, to the new one. With the new garage almost finished, it's time to get serious about getting all of our "stuff" down here to the new digs. Right after Thanksgiving, we'll be making a trip back to the lake, where we'll load both of the trailers, and find a mover to bring the furniture. I'm hopeful that by Christmas, we will have made the complete move, and the last chapter to close, will be the sale of the house. No offers yet. The Boat Brokers sold our boat, and we should have a check within a week or so. By consigning it in Lake Havasu, we took a pretty good hit on the amount of money in our pocket, but, I didn't want to drag it to Tucson, and it just wasn't possible to put it up for private party sale, without being in Havasu.
I spoke with our oldest son Michael yesterday, who is just a few days away from heading back to Afghanistan for his second tour. He will be working at Bagram Air Base for 4 months, with a return sometime in mid March. Since his retirement from the Army as a Chief Warrant Officer, Mike has served as a contractor, and is now a civilian employee for Uncle Sam. His job in the intelligence community, under the National Security Agency umbrella, is similar to what he did during his time in the Army. Even though his work, and living location at the air base will be fairly secure, we'll all be glad when this latest tour is over.
