I sure hope my stockpile of cereal lasts until we go!

Of course while all the move stuff is going on, I am continuing my triathlon training. T-bonz and I have the team relay triathlon in Keauhou in November. More immediate that that is a Peaman duathlon in Kona in August. 900m swim followed by a 3.1 mile run.

I am still doing most running on the track. Flat to be sure, but it's good to get a pace dialed in. Later!

Wait... 21 days?!? That means we have this Friday, then the next, then the one after that, then we leave! Sweet!

T-bonz and I head to the dump to get rid of some stuff:




Getting this load out really helped clear the garage. What is left is some stuff that is already spoken for, Ebay stuff, and small stuff we'll toss out in the normal trash removal..

Here's how the final sale went. On the left side are the CDs that SecondSpin.com didn't buy. Middle and on the right are those they bought. Overall it went pretty much that way too: I sold around 1/2 of what we had, and the other half was not bought. And most that did sell were for 5 cents or maybe 25 cents. Better than nothing, I guess!

24 Days


Today was all about getting rid of the CDs. I already have sold a bunch to Abundatrade and SecondSpin but there's still many to get out of here! Tomorrow I will have some numbers for you about this last sell.

Movers come in a couple of days. We have to have everything that is going with the movers identified and ready to go. After the movers are finished on Wednesday the only way stuff goes is in our suitcases! Between the movers and our date, we have to get rid of everything else! Will we have missed stuff? Yes, probably but it is what it is!

So I've probably averaged a Pop-Tart every morning for 30 years or so. Easily. My flavor: Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon. Other flavors might come and go but I can always count on FBSC. What's going to happen in 30 days? Will I give up the habit or modify it somewhat?!?
