Ok. Draconis and I got a good deal on a house and are moving the print shop into it. The house was built in 1935 and has 1659 sf. We also got a good deal on a 12'x24' storage shed and have that placed on the property already. The lot is long and narrow at 50' x 240'. I do want to clarify one thing, however, and that is that Draconis and I are not a "couple". We are just good, trusting friends.
Right now I am at the shop, packing stuff and Draconis is at the house sorting stuff. We have a lot of stuff. Anyway, he is a mascot handler this weekend for "The Jolly Green Giant" who is at the St. Jude Marathon. I have to get up in a few hours to take him downtown for that. I would have loved to do this mascot gig, but you had to be 6'5" to wear the suit.
I just got over a harsh stomach virus that literally had me on the run(s) for the past week. (pun intended) It was not fun, especially having to move stuff when you feel really bad and don't have a lot of energy.
We have about half the shop moved and still have the heavies left (printing and finishing equipment), so anyone who wants to lend a paw is welcome to do so. I wish I had a lot of spare cash to offer for helping, but this is the thin time of year for the shop, so this is why Draconis and I are doing most of it ourselves. Charlie (TN Stud) has helped some, but we haven't really put a call out for help.
I haven't had a great deal of time to work on projects the past few weeks because of these events, so I apologize for that. Once the move is finished, that will change. We plan to have a house warming/Christmas gathering thing if we can manage to get everything moved in time. More on this as it gets closer.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, and things will get back to (ab)normal soon.

And glad you're feeling better!

1. Glad that you are finally feeling better, (I was starting to get lonesome for the bad fox-jokes.)
2. Congratulations on the new house.
3. Condolences on having to move all your stuff + the shop. If I was a bit closer I would definitely be there to help.....but I am too far to do so.... *smiles*
4. Have a very merry Holiday Season and Foxmas!
1. Thanks... I will be doing a kickstarter soon for the book. I don't really want to do one, but Draconis insists. The book has plenty of fox jokes... trust me. *evil Sabrtooth grin*
2. You are welcome any time. It's kind of a gateway stop to points East for you.
3. I know you would help. I'm getting too old for all this poop!
4. Same to you, my friend.
Two old bachelors in a print shop.. Wow.
Just don't overload the electrical circuits with all that equipment. Draconis doesn't need any more help trying to set things on fire.. You might want to consider upgrading the wiring at least in the shop area.. Just some caring advice there.. Most houses that old have tar/cloth insulation or knob and tube..
Here, have another viagra. It supposedly overcomes the effects of spending too much time in tar pits.
It'll be good to see you. Just give me enough advance warning so I can be there. I can't wait until I retire so I don't have to be begging off work to do the things I want to be doing..
