My beautiful
wife and I live an independent, solitary life style – somewhat off the
grid. We supplement our heating cost by
heating with wood when the temperatures allow, we have gas lights installed in
our cabin for use when we lose electricity, and I do all my on maintenance and
upkeep – including snow removal in the winter which is no small chore.
We know that
at some time in the future the rigors of this lifestyle will make it difficult
for my wife to sustain when I am gone, so we are considering sometimes in the
future moving into a more manageable abode – perhaps a condo where the
maintenance is not an issue.
This poses
the question of what to do with all the STUFF
we have collected over the past thirty-five years. So, as an answer I have determined to start
selling some of our STUFF on
ebay.
So far I
have sold one item and I am $46.28 in the hole after expenses.
Ain’t entrepreneuring
great?

ReplyDeleteJackiesue wouldn't mind having you as a neighbor but we have winter in our soul - we look forward to the mountains turning fall colors and the first snow fall.
DeleteMy main concern is my wife not having to maintain a place like the rural cabin we now live in - when I ride to hell: that would be my mythological choice - where my bros would be.
