end of the week.

End of my on call week. Monday holiday. The storm is still forcasted but it is a day later, and looks just rain and wind for us. A couple hours of snow then rain up in Maine.. then more rain later.. mid week it should snow here and there. 
Im off Monday, and I could go up Sunday night... And help on Monday if its needed.. I probably could go up Sunday night. All Inwould need to do is tell Todd.. he would cover my call outs on Sunday night if needed.
I did not ask for Tuesday off so I would have to be back for work Tuesday morning.. 
I have not asked N . Lets see what she says tomorrow.
..
I have groceries and a radio to finish and maybe deliver. Then dinner. 
I asked L her preference for the day dinner.. this Saturday, next Thursday or next Saturday. She decided on mext Saturday. I got her 3 Beatles CDs .. I think she will like it.
Its not a remote starter, but its music that she can rip to her player and play in her car .
...
Work has been slow.. we did more busy work . Cleaned.. and took out the trash .
Owen is out next week..Todd is in NH this weekend.. 
...
I heard the tx tech was written up again (3x?) .. late and messing with his time card . .. thats bad.. real bad . .. so I may hear sooner than later...
N and I had a money/pay conversation today.. she may have realized Im not rich .. im living within my means.. creatively... As I always did.
But I think I do it well.
If i change jobs again.. and make more, I can build my nest egg..and be a bit more comfortable.. 
..
Money isnt the reason.. at least not money now.. its future money I need to be concerned about..plan for.. 
Time for a 5 year plan...
Figure it out . Living day to day, is not gonna work if I plan to retire comfortable..
My investments are small..and not gonna do it for my future.. the dream..
...
So..
The neighbor is selling his house.. put it on the market a couple days ago.. $5k less than Zillow.. he should get it. $550k.
$275k more than I bought mine for...
I may not have a perfect yard. Or recent renovations..but I have a 2car garage .. and a corner lot 1/3 bigger than his.. just saying....
..
To retire. . I would need to sell .downsize..and restructure..
Oh .. I should be seeing Cotuit money in the future too.. so that could help...
..

Ok..2024... what can I do? 
Let me know..
I have MTTS this year..
If we were to do all the way round trip..15 days.. hotels gas. Time off...
A job change may make that difficult..its minimum, 3 days drive to the start... And 4 days from the finish .plus the 5 of the rally.. if course weekends.. and stops... required visits... Gas food and lodging..and time. Credit cards will help..it can be paid over time..
..it would be fun..more fun with N.. 
..
15 days would be tough ..for all ..L too. But..I could touch the rest of the us..North Dakota.Montana, Idaho, and Washington..
All that would be left would be Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. And we could divert to Oregon...
..
Maybe not this year....
..
Here it is January.. the rally is in July..
...

Hey! N..you know who you are..
If you are reading these....
I really want to make a life with you .
Make one with me in it. Please.
