Dirt Bike Sold

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 71 degrees, high 95 degrees, partly cloudy

I sold the dirt bike!! A man called today asking about the dirt bike, wanting to know if we still had it. We agreed on a time for him to look at it, and he showed up on time. He was looking for a bike for his son, who is 14 years old. As he examined the bike, it was obvious he has a lot of experience with motorcycles. He asked if he could take it for a ride, and we said sure. The bike impressed him with its power and acceleration. The little imperfections didn't bother him at all, since he knew how it had been used. Thomas explained how everything worked, and anything that he knew about that was wrong. We agreed on a price, he paid a deposit, and will be back Saturday to pick up the bike. Success!!! It feels great to sell some of these larger items that would be hard to move. Now, out with the piano, table saw, planer.......

I have been writing about our search for another place for Terri and Thomas to move, since the house is going on the market. We have looked at houses in several neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and various other places. When I make a decision on something or help someone make a decision, I try to do it with as much information as possible. Sometimes, I end up with an information overload. In this situation, there is something about this decision that we are helping Terri make that does not feel right. As a result, we are backing up a little, looking at things again, and listening to the little inner voice that is telling me not to rush into a commitment that may not be the right one. We should have more information in a few days that will enable us to make a decision that will be right for Terri and Thomas from a longterm standpoint.

A little bird told us that there is a contract pending on a RV park that we stayed in near Granbury, Texas. We consider Jerry and Joyce good friends, and we hope everything goes well with the sale of the park so they can get out there on the road. Get 'er done!

More later, be safe.
