Weekend Update

Woke up to a beautiful day today. Slept well Friday and Saturday, following two sleepless nights previous. Had much more energy today, and after my 8am meeting, got to work. Made a big "contractor bag" full of trash after going through my clothes closet. Got that disposed of and loaded most of my packed up stuff into the car. That Honda is going to fill up fast, I'm afraid. But it was a good feeling to start loading the car and make some space down here.

Went to the basement storage space and retrieved a couple of big boxes, some packing tape and bubble wrap. Now can pack the relatively small number of dishes and breakable kitchen stuff I'm taking.

Ran into Kerv, the head maintenance guy, and tried to get the lowdown from him on getting my stuff moved out. He confirmed that the building does not want outside movers coming in, but offered his services, along with his crew. I've been thinking about that this afternoon, and am now thinking that I'll go ahead and have the estate liquidation lady come in and identify the things she can sell. I can get Kerv and co. to load up that stuff, then to clear everything else out of the place once I've sold all I can myself. I'm thinking I can get maybe $400 for electronics, $600 for this Kurzweil synthesizer, and maybe a couple of thousand for four of the six bikes I've accumulated.

Tomorrow's goal is to get the bikes, electronics and synthesizer photographed, catalogued and on Craigslist. I hear by word of mouth that it's a good time to be selling bikes, and these are nice ones. I am keeping the old Vitus that Dad and Yancey built, and one other. Going to check with local bike places to see if someone can package them up to either ship out west or strap to the top of the car.

Good night - time to get some rest.
