So far the job is good, just need to find some time to blog another update. <br /><br />Haven't managed to get out on the bike though, sigh. Somedays that seems okay. 6 riders have died on Oregon roads in the last week.

Good luck with the new job! I hope you find some time to enjoy your ride, even a small ride makes a world of difference. (I am sure Basil will adjust, he will be happy where ever you are) P.S. I really appreciate you visiting me and dropping me a line :) the Frozen Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139948753341714413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-78335114724374638162018-05-13T07:48:45.902-07:002018-05-13T07:48:45.902-07:00Thanks Lynne.

But they both seem to be a good fit.<br /><br />Come explore the PNW, we don't really get as much rain as they say. Well, sometimes we do but that can be a good thing, it makes everything green and fresh.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-37575957043095603022018-05-01T04:50:34.194-07:002018-05-01T04:50:34.194-07:00The pension plan is a bonus and it is SEIU represe...The pension plan is a bonus and it is SEIU represented too so that is cool.

A lot to take in at once especially going from Macs for 17 years to PCs.<br /><br />Brad spent his youth cooking in restaurants so I am sure it will all come back to him.<br /><br />The local housing market is pretty hot. In Corvallis things are under contract within days. We are almost worried our house will sell and we won't find one we want to buy in Salem in time. We will probably get this place ready to list and then actively look. The minute we make an offer we can list this place and it should be fine, or list this first and ask for a longer escrow period.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-37597009150093901912018-04-21T06:41:23.080-07:002018-04-21T06:41:23.080-07:00Thank you Geoff.

Maybe that is part of the union agreement, I am not sure. But, that is 12 days a year, combined with 10 paid holidays so it isn't really too bad.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-36368391759949475872018-04-21T06:39:50.209-07:002018-04-21T06:39:50.209-07:00Thanks Nikos!Thanks Nikos!Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-27791020889863623472018-04-21T06:39:31.050-07:002018-04-21T06:39:31.050-07:00Thank you Sonja.

Apartment living when pot is legal is not that desirable I hear. If our neighbors are going to be inconsiderate, I'd at least like them further away that a joined wall. I think folks are more polite and there is more common sense in Germany so you have had better luck with renting. On most places here, the rent is more than a mortgage, it's crazy.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
