The descriptive phrase MIKE IS GOING PYSCHO incorrectly assumes I was once sane. #rmdo

Mike's Amazon, mateys!!

#rmdo Parking In The Garage #humor #mikeandmary

After 4 years of a dozen garage sales, after massive amounts of both volunteer and paid help, after donating a huge truckload of stuff to the Salvation Army, after foisting truckloads of stuff on my daughters, grand kids, friends, neighbors, after burning the unsalable and ungiveable for days, Mary finally parked her car in the Indiana farmhouse garage tonight. 
Tomorrow we move. #rmdo

#rmdo Moving to Michigan #humor #mikeandmary

This is it! Tomorrow is the official day for me moving to Michigan. Shirk's Piano will pick up my piano at noon, along with a few totes of pictures and several shelving units and 2 big cabinets.
Of course, I've been staying in Michigan 75% of the time since I married Mary, a Michigan girl. But now I will get my driver's license in Michigan. 
Sadly, I will have to vote in Michigan. I will miss Indiana politics. Both  parties are more moderate, bi-paritsan, honest, and prolife than other states. On the other hand, Indiana doesn't know beans on how to set up traffic lights.
I'm spending the day finishing up cleaning and burning trash. Tomorrow morning is reserved for caging the two barn cats that Mary wants to make into pets. 
Momma cat is friendly but has fiercely attacked when her kitten is upset. The bite marks on my leg are proof.
The kitten is a wild child, so when we throw a blanket over her, Momma will have to already be in a carrier. It's going to be an adventure!! #rmdo

#rmdo Diving Into Chicken Poop #humor


Busy day once I got up. Met a picker who took some of the stuff I couldn't sell at the last 10 or so garage sales. Burned a lot of unsellable stuff today. Went through another massive amount of pictures. Found one picture of Tim Dittmer age 4 or 5, Terry Eshelman age 2 or 3, Ted Dittmer age one or so, and myself sitting in the front of the tiny trailer in The Parable of The Story.
Found another picture of Tim age 2 and myself age 4 at Grandma and Grandpa Dittmer's farm in Southern Illinois. We were there for the summer while Terry was being born.
Tim probably doesn't remember this, but there was a huge pile of dried up chicken poop, which turns into a odorless light fluffy powder after it dries, underneath a perfect climbing tree. Tim, who was a pretty good climber for a little guy, and I took turns dropping out of the tree like super heroes into the pile for an hour or so before Grandma caught us. I never heard a woman grumble so much while she was scrubbing us down in the tin tub. #rmdo
