I am having issues with the MacPro and mail. It does not want to send mail using the iPhone as hotspot. My interwebs were canceled when I left town. Lucky for me, the macbook still does mail.
ANYWAY. There is nothing within any reasonable distance that would serve as “work space” for working class person money. I know a fellow who was in the same situation as I am about four years ago. His work around was to cash part of his retirement and purchase a small town garage. This way he gets to play with his mercedes, and the shop works on customer cars that may not be DBAG. He has no children and a very understanding partner. He drives 30 miles from his suburban home to the garage in the next county. Seattle does not suffer from a dearth of clapped out properties. There are all manner of brown fields and thrashed commercial structures. Property is stupid expensive and property owners think they will hit the lotto if they hold onto land. A great amount if the spaces are in less than desirable areas, so they will be paying taxes for a while. My home has appreciated very much. Last assessors notice was for more than 5x our purchase price. With the added remodel costs, it is still over three times our investment in 25 years. SWMBA is on the path to off loading the house as soon as my stuff is removed. She will then be removing the accumulation furniture and dross acquired while married. Her home in AK has no space to take it. I would like to have my tools. clay monroe > I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm > looking for didn't fall out. > On May 14, 2019, at 1:28 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Possibly.
