Out of nowhere driving home from the grocery yesterday I started to cry as it hit me. This one is gonna be hard.

So, the above is definitely happening, bringing the dog, too. On the positive side, it's the closest thing we'll have to a vacation this year and we'll get some quality time with my daughter as she spends her limbo week between leases with us, so that's cool.sancarlos wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 2:19 pm So, our daughter’s lease is up on Aug 25 . Her new lease doesn’t start until Sept 1st. She is (finally) checking to see if she can move in early. If not, they’ll have to find short-term storage for furniture. The wife and I are going to drive up to Seattle to help her move. Luckily, I find no evidence of quarantine requirements for Washington or Oregon. Probably booking a vrbo or air bnb for a week. If we find a pet-friendly place, we might bring the dog. Sheesh.
And guess who is up reading required stuff for MBA by Thursday AM. Gonna give it a couple of more articles then sack out. Taking notes so I can remember what I read. Whipped.
Oh man, the weather has been fantastic. Mid 70s. Warm in her room, but we had a couple of fans going for circulation. We opened up a window as I finished hanging up some lights after the sun went down and it was downright delightful with a fan pulling the evening air in. Still don't feel like I got to experience too much of Boston, but I really like the neighborhood she is in. Lots of students and emergency boxes on every street.sancarlos wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 9:47 pm Sounds like we are on similar paths, AB. We moved my daughter into her apartment today. What a pain in the ass. But we hung out at a park for awhile after the work was done and that was sweet. Right now, my wife and daughter are out buying groceries and household goods for her. The dog is keeping me company at the air bnb while I enjoy some Seattle craft beer. We've had the best weather here I've ever experienced in Seattle. Not looking forward to starting the drive home tomorrow back toward my hot, smoky state.
I've lived in the swampy Florida weather for most of my life. The hottest I've ever been was when I went to Boston in August to move my stuff out of my apartment.A_B wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 10:01 pmOh man, the weather has been fantastic. Mid 70s.

Where is she living (approximately, not looking to make a surprise visit)?A_B wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 10:01 pmOh man, the weather has been fantastic. Mid 70s.

Forgot how disgusting Boston gets in the summer. We had a power outage once when it was over 100 degrees. My apartment was so unbearable, I filled the tub with cold water and drank in the tub for a couple hours until I could pass out. Tried going outside at night, but it was so humid, it was better in the ice bath.govmentchedda wrote:I've lived in the swampy Florida weather for most of my life.

The good thing (non-sarcasm) is that you really only need a long weekend to feel like you've seen all of Boston + the main inner suburbs. You won't get to eat everywhere you'd want to, but you can hit easily hit every neighborhood by T and walking. Some day when there's no pandemic, I'll sneak away from my family in the middle of the night and we can totally do this, movie montage style.
I would totally watch that movie. Very true, I was shocked at how small Boston is, you really can walk and experience the whole city in a day. It's a great city to wander, for sure.mister d wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 11:09 amThe good thing (non-sarcasm) is that you really only need a long weekend to feel like you've seen all of Boston + the main inner suburbs.

Oh, man. Falls from the American side sucks. And the town of Niagara Falls, NY was a completely rundown shithole, though it's been 18 years since I've been there, maybe they turned it around? While NF, Ontario is, well, an upscale Tijuana with one of the Natural Wonders of the World in the middle of it. Again, been 18 years, maybe it's gotten better? It was actually on a large upswing due to the money brought in by the giant casino.A_B wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:36 pm Made it to Ashtabula, OH.

The city looked fine to me. Definetly touristy in a beach kind of way but clean and not too crowded. But it was Wednesday of course.The Sybian wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 11:07 pmOh, man.
