22 December 2018, a day from Mark’s past

Status: We have money again! The checks from the Florida sale have cleared the bank!

Plans: Clear out the living room today so we can prepare for Christmas dinner with the family on Tuesday.

Narrative: Checked the bank this morning and there were thousands of dollars available to pay off our debts we incurred over the last year. I transferred half what I owed to our credit card this morning and put some money in the savings account for the first time in a long while. I realized yesterday the pressure of having almost 30 Thousand dollars worth of debt was weighing heavily on the two of us. Especially at Christmas. (My bottle of “Jack Daniels” is about half empty.)

Spent the last 3 hours clearing the living room and I’m a little more than half way through it. It takes a lot of time to put things where they belong versus in a piece of luggage headed for Florida.

Took some time out to play with the networks this evening. My son configured a Raspberry Pi as a Flight Aware participant. It looked interesting enough to spend the 30 dollars for the receiver and the antenna last week. I got the set earlier today and the antenna that he bought for me as well. I couldn’t find the adapters or cables to use the big antenna so I setup the receiver in my cave tonight. I can see aircraft about 40 NM from inside my house. (Which is quite respectable.)

Tomorrow: Church at 8AM.
