Spent $20 at lawyer friend partner's birthday dinner. Had fun, but I did notice out of the 14 people there a couple of people cheaped out a bit. I'm glad that if nothing else, keeping an eye on the money most other times means that I can shrug my shoulders and tsk tsk to myself. Keeping an eye on the my money makes me detail oriented, which means I keep an eye on everyone else's money too.
I collected $46 in the tip box this month. Deposited it yesterday afternoon at the bank.
This afternoon sister called me a couple of times. She got the notarized forms I mailed her, and as she was getting hers notarized by her insurance agent, she noticed a slight discrepancy - 74 acres instead of 73. So did that mean they bought slightly more, or what?
I reminded her that the property line was 8 ft further than the fence post. She called her lawyer who is arranging the sale about it - before she mailed the forms. Turns out that we are still getting the 7 acres (like only 6 acres is not a farmette, hah hah); the 8 ft extra did push it a little over.. The exact acreage was something like 73.7879. They rounded up the acreage in the contract. So sister will deliver the notarized contracts to her lawyer.
This has got to be it??!!!
Apparently even with 4-5 inches of rain, the gang is working - the post that the solar panels are going to sit on has been driven in, and the electricians are working at upgrading. I don't even want to think about it with all that standing water. Oh, and the solar panels are in the sheds.
oh this has got to be it!

I say my buddies because I won't chip in more. My contribution is the same every week just as is my order. There is a generous cushion already built in to allow for any price increase and that still leaves a generous tip for the server. If we ever come up short (only happens when there are newer/intermittant diners in the group) I'll make it a point to announce that my contribution has not changed. EVER.
You'd think that might get the shirkers to cough up more, but no. Some people just like to pride themselves for having no honor.

fern - I haven't blogged much about this, but I promise to soon. Sister is putting up rotating solar panels on a pole near the southern edge of the property line. She wants to sell some power back to the utility.
