Here we go

The realtor showed up yesterday and when she left there was a for sale sign in the yard.  We pulled the plug.  So this could lead to a massive head ache, going broke, and more adventure.  The plan is to somehow live in Payson AZ.   Like simple minded dingers we bought a lot there and in no time we may be into a massive mess building a house and going broke. Then again we may never get what we want from the current shack which means we will be back to square one.  So let the wheel spin and lets see what happens.

One of the things selling the joint means is fixing all the little blemishes, and god knows there are plenty.  After you get everything fixed why move?   Boredom seems to be one big reason.  On this flat prairie one can get lulled into an insanity based on blankness.  With Jasper Littlebottom's unbounded energy she has to be hiking all the time.  This brings up the next subject.

Jasper and two other high energy people are planning on doing a 250 mile hike on the John Muir Trail this summer.  The planning for this hike is much more complicated than the invasion of Normandy.  Hours and hours of phone conversations on what to take.  Do we take two green beans or three.  Jasper has had to purchase every conceivable type of trail food to test.  The trail bars come in the mail and have to be sampled.  You must have the perfect everything from water filter to shoes.  The cost per mile for this hike will bankrupt us before a new home does. 

Jasper is even doing practice hikes.  Yup,  Kadizzle had to go to Beulah yesterday so we pitched Jasper in the car with her pack loaded to hike back from Beulah.  People are like cars they wear out.  Jasper is going to be worn down to nothing before she even starts.
