Texas

[CableMonkey]

Last week I went to Austin, Texas to check it out as a possible new home for the whole CableMonkey family.

Just North of Austin we found a nice little town called Round Rock. It is named after a round rock in the river...as seen in this picture:



We found a house we liked, and could pay for it in CASH if we sold our house in California. Here is the front of the house we liked:



The new house is 2 1/2 times the size as our current house, but sells for a mere 40% of what we can get for our old house.

So, what do you think? We can sell our little house, buy a big house, have no house payment, pay off ALL our bills, including car payment, and still have over $50K in the bank. Good Deal or not? My wife & I have lived in SoCal all our life, but Austin was pretty nice.

Oh yeah...Austin also has some bugs. Here is a spider I saw...actual size:

Hot damn!

I have finally got the CableMonkey to Ramble. I seriously doubt I will ever see it again, but I can die a happy man.

I never thought I'd see this day. Excuse me while I go skip around the campus with joy.

Is Joy the name of your Jr. High Girl Friend at the job site?

You know me, just love the PinkDot.

Will there be a sign on the front of the house that says Monkeys Playpen. If the picture of the spider is to scale then I guess the same applies to the house so if it is 2 1/2 times the size of your present home then you had better move to the upgrade so you can learn to stand upright :P

Nice house, how much yard space will you end up with?

Oh and just a thought but if you move you'll be farther away from Morty, Right

Yard is a nice size, and so is the distance from Morty.

[Maximal]

So bigger house, lots of money, farther away from Morty..........

sounds like a no brainer to me

Going to miss him and his wife and daughter when he goes, but at the same time, I don't see them as much as I'd like now that they live 45 minutes away.

you should have thought about that before you started ignoring them
