I just took a job on tour, and I leave next friday. I'll be gone almost a whole year, if not more. SO I won't be at the fragswap.

However, House has offered to watch my tank, and to bring my frags to the swap! But if you had frags for me, either offer them to someone else, or donate them to the site. A lot of my frags will be donated, unless House finds a buyer!

Oh, check the For sale forum this weekend. I'm probably dumping a lot of stuff for really cheap.

Thanks all. I'm getting paid really well. That's the reason to go on the road. I get my paycheck AND i get a seperate check for living expenses. I get $114 a day, but I have to pay for my hotel out of that. But when the company is renting 50 rooms for a whole week, they get a really good deal.

So I end up putting my WHOLE paycheck away every week, and living off the per diem. Could you live off $114 a day? I know I can. So I'm going to wipe out all my debt. Everything I owe, credit cards, taxes, student loans. All should have a 0 ballance by christmas (that's my present to myself!)

Oh, did I mention I'll be in Baltimore for christmas week? National Aquarium, here I come!

I am totally free until friday. So how about tuesday or wednesday for drinks.

From now until I get on the plane Friday I have to:
buy some nice luggage I can beat up on the tour. (I fly every monday)
Pack what tools I'll be taking on the road Store the rest.
Pack both Summer and winter clothes, and take them with me. I don't know the schedule, but I know I'm in michigan in november. That's gonna suck bigtime. With my luck I'll be in Arizona in june or something like that.
Move my tank. Store the rest of my fish stuff that can keep in the basement.

Pack most of my stuff that I'm not taking on tour, and store it.

Sell a bunch of stuff so I don't have to store it.

ect, ect, ect. Lots more I'm forgetting, but I'll remember it before I walk out the door (hopefully)

who says I haven't already?

and I'm gonna miss my back yard quite a bit. I think that's the one reason I'm subletting my apartment, rather than just giving it up!

There's just so many funny things about that comment, that I can't pick one. . .

NP, drinks will probably happen tues or wed. Flying hungover sucks, so thursday's out.
