okay kids.. its official! we're closing on our mortgage tomorrow to take possession of the NEO-MABUSLAND COMPOUND (i figured the old name of the mabusland ranch sounded too passe).
My guess is that we will spend the majority of this weekend just cleaning the new place up before we actually start moving in. Fortunately, we have until the end of the month to get everything out of our old place so we need'nt be too terribly rushed.
This means we also get to dump comcast like a hot potato.
By switching to Dish for TV, moving to FiOS for internet and Vonage for our phone lines we'll be saving about $50/month! Now if only we could find a way to ditch AEP for electricity (hmm... maybe i should think about putting solar panels on the house eventually)

I think that at least in some states, you can put more power into the grid than you take, and they have to pay you for it. Solar panels could actually make money. Sadly, they aren't cheap. It's too bad about all the wasted solar energy, absorbed by pavement and requiring running the air all night. It could be growing plants instead. And, I might add, plants have many uses.
No doubt, hemp is the answer to our nation's dependence on foreign oil. I saw a show on the Discovery Channel, in which someone had modified a truck to run on hemp. It was said that the exhaust smelled even better than french fries, but that the biodeisel truck that smelled like frech fries smelled pretty good, too.
Mmmmm
Anyway, congrats on the house.
you gotta come up sometime... i think we'll be throwing a party sometime soon.
