A haunting of funny ghosts…

No, we haven’t suddenly taken a trip to Disney for the Grim Grinning Ghosts, but we have our very own hautnig now, a Casper!

Inside the big stripey box is our new mattress! Exciting!

The little box is networking gear. Also exciting, but probably only to me. (and maybe Brian)

All our utilities are finally set up, so nothing will get disconnected on Friday, good news there. Going about contacting the ISP we’ll be using temporarily until Spectrum wins their battle with the Union Pacific railway and drags a fiber cable over to our development, probably in September.

They have these big radio towers here, lacking any sort of, you know, mountains….

Fortunately we have a great view of one from our backyard, so that’s where internet will come from for a few months.

Unfortunately the router got packed in the truck by accident rather than in my suitcase with the AP, so no internet until Saturday at least either way.

On to the next project!

Arrivals

We’ve got appliances!

Car arrives hopefully tomorrow or Thursday. Mattress is arriving tomorrow, and our moving van is now scheduled to arrive Saturday! (did they drive all the way from Portland in first gear? Hopefully that means everything is nice and safe. 😂)

Gonna be able to spend our first night here soon! So exciting!

(I’m about halfway done rewiring all the network/coax, should be done with that today, so we’ll be all set on the internet side by time things are here too! Home sweet Wi-Fi!)

Fresh confusion.

My brain really really tried hard to understand how “push button to receive potato” worked, before I realized that no, we have a microwave, not a replicator.

Also, what kind of savage microwaves a potato?

Omg

We are now officially in the future!

In the background, you’ll see a futon with a built-in motorized pillow. In the foreground, you’ll see a futon with built-in USB charger, aux input, and volume knob.

What is even happening.

Aside

I just tried to shoot the paper sleeve off my straw at Bevin and it flopped flaccidly onto the table instead.

She laughed at me.

I am hurt.
