Real work

5th & Olive, June 7.

I’m still here. Not been blog-inspired for weeks. Radio Free Randoming almost daily, though. Got out for some street photography Saturday. The Panasonic Lumix GM1 + Lumix 12-32mm lens is my perfect street combo lately.

Sad news about the new-old-stock rackmount Stanton CD players I bought through eBay. One I returned for tray eject failures, and the other started having disc read failures. The seller refunded me for both units, paid for return shipping on the one, and told me to just keep the other. So: sad failures, but I’m not out any money at least.

During the recent heat we’ve mostly stayed hunkered down, and rolled out the portable A/C. Much cooler today and looking like non-extreme temps for the next couple weeks. We would like to hike today, but need to coordinate with our handywoman, who’s coming over to work on some house-spiffing projects.

We got another look last week at the inside of the house we’re aiming to buy, and we have heard positive news regarding probable price and seller’s vacating timeline. Well, they moved out months ago, but tons of their stuff is still there. Hopefully within a month they’ll be completely out and we’ll be able to get inspections done and seal the deal. Then the real work starts!
