Around here (houston metroplex) there is not a bidding war but sellers are acting like there is or should be one. There are several houses we liked that have been on the market for upwards of half a year and the sellers are unwilling to negotiate on prices that are significantly higher than market value or prices of comps. We had an offer on a house that we walked away from recently where the seller outright refused to negotiate on price after the inspection found it needed a new roof and 2 new ac units despite being priced higher than it should have been already.

Yeah that's where we are at, sellers still think they are worth covid prices and the broader market is in complete chaos. If we weren't out of room from having a smaller house with 2 kids, I would be more receptive to sticking it out but the chaos has become less manageable so we are looking for more room despite not really wanting to make any decisions right now.

8 years ago, I bought a house at 3.25% interest on a 30 year loan. We are currently looking to move and interest rates are damn near 7% because of all the fuckery going on and it is probably going to keep going up since no one trusts anything in the economy right now.

Salchicha al Carbon is a delicacy. Never be ashamed of it.

The sadness of loss doesn't ever really go away but it does get easier as time goes on. I hope you find some peace in time.

It could have already happened hundreds of times and we would never know it.

Be the change you want to see in the world, buy a wii, yell in rooms, get divorced. Think of the children

I mean, Yuki started 20th right? Yeah, it was his fault since he crashed in quali but still.

Up: My unraid server with media library, emby and my kids Down: the fiber internet line into the house that the contractor working on our siding snapped. No one is upset so the system is working.

I really like my xperia 5 v. The 1 is too expensive and the 10 was kinda meh but the 5 was Just right They have not made a new version of it though.

My 7 month son got croup and has been in an out of the ER twice this week. Its currently midnight and is getting another nebulizer dose before we get moved to a room. Hes doing better but its been rough. We are gonna be here at least another day for observation this time which is way better than getting sent home again to see how he does. Here's hoping he kicks its ass and gets over this quick. It sucks seeing my little guy sick like this.

Edit: he's doing a lot better today. They were doing the nebulizer every two hours and its been almost 7 without it now. Fingers crossed we are over the hump. Thanks for the support y'all.

 

 

We lost power around 4:30 A.M. and have one fence panel down but are holding on okay otherwise.

No zoom, it let me get that close. Xperia 5v.

 

Happy Father's day y'all. To celebrate I am doing a 9ish lb boston butt on my vision smoker with hickory chips and oak charcoal. Its been on for about 4 hours so far. I have some wings waiting on this lovely hunk of flavor to get closer to done so I can pull it and wrap it before getting the chicken on.

 

Need for speed underground 2 is to thank for my intro to QotSA, great track and good driving song.
