Offer and Compromise

I received an offer on my house in Georgia about a month after listing it. I had a fairly agressive list price in the hopes of selling it fairly quickly. I had to juggle that idea with the one that soon many people will be out looking at houses, in the hopes of finding one and moving in prior to school starting in the fall. I just could not wait in the hopes I would get more money later in the year.

Now the buyer and I have performed the buying/selling dance of give and take and it looks as though we both will be happy with the deal. I have a few things to fix yet at the house and they have an inspection soon and hopefully, the inspection will not find much wrong.

I will pronbably go back to Georgia to clear out the house and sell what is left in it. Then I’ll be there for closing. At closing I’ll get a nice sized check. What do you think? Head to Las Vegas and put it down on a double-or-nothing bet?

Yesterday, I attended the KonaWeb party where people interested in moving here or people already here ahve chats and get-togethers. Afterwards, I stopped by to work on a computer and ended up spending 4 hours trying to get a LAN card and Norton AntiVirus to co-exist. For some reason, they would not!

I headed home after midnight and then remembered that I had an appointment at 9am… I also was running low on gas. Luckily for me many stations along the way home, appear to be open all night.

I had no Wal-Mart or anything open, so this morning earlt, I headed to Ace Hardware where gloves were on sale. Then it was down to the meeting location where I found 7 other KMona Coffee Council members. We they donned orange vests and gloves and took trash bags to clean up our stretch of sponsored road though the coffee belt. An hour anmd a half later we had done a considerable job “policing” the area of trash. While walking I realized that back in Georgia they get criminals to do this and they renewed their “chain gangs” back there!

I am a bit tired and will watch some TV and perhaps take a bit of a nap today, but am thinking it may be a slow work day!
