Especially with the way the housing market is right now. How long have you been trying to sell it?

That's great and I'm sure a relief. It's tough selling property right now. Hopefully you've got a solid buyer. Did you get a fair price?

His average credit rating is around 750 and he's pre-approved for an amount greater than the price agreed upon, so it should not be a problem.

We have lowered the price 3 times. In retrospect we started too high (delusions of grandeur, and all the work I put into it was still fresh in my mind). I think a large part of that was also our failure at that point to look at it as nothing more than a piece of property and sever the emotional attachment. I'm not certain that I have completely done that, but I am relieved that the process is moving forward.

Compared to similar recent sales, the price we got is fair.

Good Morning Steve and SoCal. Well, it was Nebraska's turn for the wild weather. Not much here in Omaha, but out west it got nasty. Waiting to hear from a couple of the guys to make sure everyone is okay. Especially from Kearney, they got their butts kicked yesterday afternoon.

It has NOT been a good day. Restarted a server today, and dang, no video. Tried everything I could think of before calling Dell. We've got 4 hour warranty service, so superdog is on his way.

While I'm waiting for the guru, I filled up my truck. A little over 34 gals, at $5.25 per, so ... you do the math. I can't bear to type the number.

Guru gets here and it's a bad remote access card plugging up the pipes. About 5 minutes and he's outta here. Which is great, except the telephone support had me doing gymnastics for an hour before they dispatched the guy. And it was painfully obvious that swapping cables around was not going to fix it.

Well, I think I salvaged the weekend, cause it's up and running. We're taking the Sam Maloof tour tomorrow, so that should relax me a bit.
Maloof Foundation

Hope you all have a good weekend.
