Had a yard sale and got rid of about 80% of our belongings. Slung it all cheap, just to get rid of it. Pretty lucrative overall... now we are trying up loose ends with moving, all that red tape like usual. 

My wife got a transfer teaching job, so I am basing my work search around that area. And Holy fuck, there are so many jobs right now! I got an offer this morning, then had a phone interview with another, then I got another damn call back during that interview! Ten years ago, even five years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. I guess all those years of toiling at blue collar gigs actually amounted to something... the scrubs are in control now lol. I won't just have to get any job, I can actually choose which one I want. Bizarre/Bizaar. 

So I'm going to do a blue collar gig for around 7 to 9 months, then I'll start up my dispensary. Vermont is already legal medically and recreationally, but they won't have legal rec shops able to open up until October 2022. So I'm saving money til then. Anyone in the southeastern VT or western upstate NY area wants to work in the cannabis industry at some point, I'd be glad to talk with ya. 

This has been one of the best years of our lives. Hoping all of yours are going that way as well.

That is dope as fuck man. I wish they would make a Total War 40k. I've played the fuck outta both Warhammers but I'd like to dive into that particular world and its ripe for a Total War conversion.

That's because there are no good 40k games lol.

enjoyed my paid vacation

I played golf for the first time and golf sucks or at least I suck at golf

you soylies think you got rid of the almighty smack???

you are dumber than I thought

still non-vaccinated 

and for the record the only time my protein will ever spike is when I am blowing a load all over your mother's face

I don't know about that. I'm just not big on strategy video games. At least not most. Civ and age of mythology were dope but that's about it.  

Every time I install Civ V, I end up binging it for like 30 hours+. I couldn't even tell you how many hours I've put into that game. Other than that, I'm not really into those 4X games.

Wonder what it is about Civ V.

Yeah, totally. there's just something magical about that game. I did buy crusader kings 3 awhile ago, and I can see that it's fun, it's well designed and everything works great. but it just doesn't do it for me. it's too complex for someone who's not super invested in 4X games, I think.

Today we are heading out our long move to Vermont. The Colorado experiment was a 7 year (mostly) success, and it's time to move on. Looking forward to living back in the northeast, for a plethora of reasons. Colorado was good, overall. Nothing much bad to say about it besides a few gripes. Far better place to live than eastern North Carolina, that's for sure. 

After the carpet dude does his thing this afternoon, we are heading out. We are making a slow trip of it, trying to enjoy rather than rush. We are super fortunate to have jobs waiting for us, and the wife's doesn't start until the end of August. So still a bit of time to find good housing and enjoy the summer together for a change. 

Wish I could Gather, but the timing is juuuust off.   

damn, sounds like a big move. I'm hoping to get out of Oregon more permanently myself. or at least out of the portland area. I love this city, born and raised in stump town. But I'd like to see a bit more of the world, plus it's just too expensive to keep living here for much longer. rents going up, wages aren't.

Yeah my wife is going to be getting paid much more at her new school, and has much better perks and benefits. Also, on the nice days they teach most classes outdoors, since it is on a lake. I'm probably going to be working on that lake too, at a lodge. It's between that one and UPS driver. UPS driver is much more money, but the work/life balance can be despairing. I'm planning on visiting both to see what they're all about. 

It's crazy how many job offers I got. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced due to the labor shortage. It's the scrub's time to shine now, for us not-too-skilled-but-hard-workers. Drivers, cleaners, sales, etc. All those years of crappy hard jobs that didn't pay much have surprisingly made my resume very appealing. So it wasn't all for nothing. That is a peaceful truth.

Got a campground booked for tonight. I'll keep yall ninjas updated. 

So our travel plan goes like this: 2 vehicles driving, one with two kids and a cat, the other bigger with more stuff but no A/C... so we drive an average of 4 hours a day then camp... one day is roughing it on random sites, like Hipcamp spots for $20. Saves a ton and we love it... the following day we spoil ourselves at a KOA type place. They spoil you there. You can do laundry, shower well, eat like a fat American King, etc... so anyways, we are at a Nebraska KOA a couple nights back.. and this dude calls out to me from the pool... turns out it was the very first grower from the dispensary j worked at for 6.5 years!! Like I hadn't heard from dude in over 5 years. The odds of this are baffling. It's a truly one in a million chance type thing.. I'm still tripping over it.

Now we are in South Bend, Indiana. My half brother's mother is in a mental institution here, I recall. Only two days til home then more adventure. Stay tuned
