Doug's Project 365

Lis found us a gas dryer on Craigslist.  Her moms helped us deliver it to the storage unit, where it will stay until we move.

The packing has only just begun in earnest.  The plan is to use the guest room to stage boxes that are done.

We have already done most of the going-through-and-tossing last summer when we loaded up the storage unit. So this part shouldn’t be so bad — just the usual “Where is <item X>? I must have packed it already.”

Parker is helping!

OK, so they’re not traditional ingredients in a lamb vindaloo curry, but I think broccoli and kale do well in this dish.

My sweetie bought me some yummy-looking chocolate today.

Thanks Lis!

We went to see our new house today.  The sellers are offering us some furniture that they don’t need anymore and we went to see.

Today I washed my car.  I don’t mean I took it to a carwash; I mean I got out a bucket and laid sponge to paint.

It’s amazing how much cleaner the car gets this way than in the touchless carwash.

This morning, as I attempted to leave our neighborhood, my progress was impeded by a roadblock…

… made up of 15-20 turkeys in the road.  By the time I got my camera out the way had cleared, leaving only this straggler.

OK, you may ask, why is Doug posting a picture of a toaster oven?

This toaster oven has spent the last 9 months in our basement.  Now that our house is no longer being shown, it — and other items of “clutter” — can be restored to their rightful places of usefulness.

This past Sunday we went through the freezer, throwing out anything over 2 years old.  We made the mistake of putting this old food in the garbage can outside, where last night some raccoons discovered it.  How do I know it was raccoons?

By their dewy footprints, of course.
