Another big "congratulations" from me, Horace! Looks like overall, things are working out so well for you, and you seem to have some good luck following you around, at least for now.
Oh, congrats as well to your wife. Everything else aside, the stress you have both gone through is huge, such a relief that it's almost all over and done with.
At least I hope that's how you are both feeling! -
Congrats from TNCR's only native Texan.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Hie thee to Chappell Hill Sausage Company during restaurant hours. Get the meat and beans bowl and some sausage. Do not dress up. You'll thank me.

About a 45 minute drive. In Texas, that's right next door.

Also, do not follow all the hype about BBQ joints. People wait in line for hours at Franklin's when there are a million mom and pop Q's that are about as good. Avoid the chains. Do some exploring on your own.
Luby's cafeterias have outstanding chicken fried steak, the Texas state dish I'd imagine.
Taco Cabana is a fun place to go for breakfast tacos and burritos. First place I ever saw with garage doors that open up.

Actually...Maybe Horace might want to become a pitmaster in his own right. Smoking meat is therapeutic...

Thanks everybody for the well wishes and recommendations. I think I lucked out with the internet service. It has been horrible broadband for years in this area, but in the past few months a company called Fidium has introduced fiber. The Fidium guy came over today and installed it. 930 megabits download and over half that upload, for 70 a month. Got a router centrally placed and a free extender for my office.

Nice.

@Horace Happy for you that things seemed to work out in the end!! I am sure you and your wife will be happy!!

If anybody is in the Houston area and they can play piano well, I suspect our acoustics here in the living room are fantastic. Even if the piano is less so.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I’m spending my first night in our new place tonight. We’re going to be camping in the basement until the floors and walls are done upstairs, although my office should be usable tomorrow if Verizon come through.
Movers came today - most of our stuff is temporarily in the garage. I have a garage again! In fact, I’ve got two! Inconceivable!
Closing on our current place was pushed back to the 14th, which reduces the pressure, as long as it goes through….
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Roomy is good.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Glad it’s worked out well, especially compared to how things were looking a month ago.
