Gangway!

See anything in the big empty space above (aside from Spot the Wonder Cat)? No? GOOD! That's because it's proof positive that the Isuzu is out of the way and the driveway is clear for Dodge removal.

This will also make it easier for the myriad cars to park on Sunday, as I understand at least 8 people will be coming, if not more. The more the merrier for sure, just please let me know if you're coming using the number and/or email on the right side of this page. Got to have enough beer and other provisions on hand, you know?

In other news, stopped by the folks' and gave them the lowdown on the place as well as divulging my concerns about Gizmo's health. They agreed her behavior sounded weird, and I said that if she was in a similar funk, I might take her to the vet. I braced myself for the worst when I drop up to the house, but when I got to the door, she was talkative and active as ever and as soon as I put her food down she started eating. Guess I'll chalk it up to her disliking Friskies' "Salmon Dinner" and preferring turkey instead.

Finally, I have scheduled Mom's ablation followup for Monday at 3 PM. It should be a quick trip but I'm taking the afternoon off to make sure she gets situated and transported smoothly.

So at this time I have for Sunday:
* Tasha
* Mark and Kathleen
* Bev and Jim
* Janet and Ron
* Paul H
* John H
* Paul S
* Ginger B
* Kathryn H
* David P

And among the work to be done:
* build the ramp
* take a number of specific items (water heaters, weed eaters, couche, dead blinds) to the dump
* clean off and free up the piano in the shop for removal
* vacuum and clean a few of the rooms indoors
* swap the dogfoot table and buffet in the main hall
* move the dresser/bureau in the bedroom to another location and scout a suitable replacement with a smaller footprint

I'm going up the day before to do some prep work (pour some concrete footing, etc.), so you're welcome to join me then as well. But anyone else on board?
