I'm gonna bite the bullet and go ahead and flip this home, or at least get it listed and see what sort of offers are made... realtor gal will be here in 1/2 hour to sit down and discuss the listing. Good-looking gal too, as a former truck driver I'll have to be on my best behavior: no loud belching or farting during our interview, 10-4?
Meh, no big deal, I've already lost my youthful charm... it fell off the back of a truck about a million miles ago. But I don't mind dealing with a gal like this, she seems sufficiently competent to get the sale made, and that's all that really matters at this point. Only an 11th-hour reprieve on the job front will keep me here in Cochise County...
I might wind up buying another fixer here in Arizona, we'll see about that later... right now, I need to free up some cash, pay off those brothers of mine who helped me in recent months, and take a freakin' vacation on the coast for a bit while checking listings nationwide. Throw my best stuff in storage, unload the rest in order to streamline things.
I might even return to AZ and spend the summer camping for free in the White Mountains... boondocking on BLM land. I dunno, I wanna keep my expenses to a minimum until I figure out where I'm gonna try my luck again. Might even wind up living aboard a boat on the coast, but the thought of those high slip fees kinda galls me, ya know?
I've REALLY been tempted to just unload everything and set sail on a long cruise, destination the South Seas & Australia... but I gotta think of my future, especially as I get older. Might wind up in the lake country of eastern Oklahoma, or over on the coastal plain in the Carolinas. Not sure I wanna deal with the humidity though... AZ would be my first choice.
Thing is, people keep pouring into this state from the Socialist Republik of KaliMexifornia, and they keep driving up the price of real estate... good for flipping my home, not so good when it comes to buying another fixer. Might be time to seriously consider moving eastward, maybe into New Mexico... but the economy there isn't so hot, aye?
Oh, well, I'll consider all of that when I'm camping in the mountains... here in AZ or over in Kalifornia. I'll probably wind up spending some time with friends & family on the coast, spread the load so I'm never too long in one place. I haven't seen my friends in 4-1/2 years, though I've spoken to them regularly over the phone.
Well, I reckon I'd better go unlock the gate, the realtor is due here in 10 or 15 minutes. After she leaves, I'm gonna cook a big ol' batch of chicken burrito mix, with XL shrimp blended in for good measure... "Good $h!t, Maynard!!!" I bought a bunch of chicken & shrimp too, should be a large batch o' burrito mix. Uh-oh, the gal is here... better get out there to meet her.
