    Doggo keeps running in the rocks scape by the fence where the larger rocks are. Second time he twisted his front leg.
    So I am putting in some 16? pavers where he runs and hopefully that prevents the twisting of his front leg. 5 down 20 to go. Might get done tonight at 6. Groan.

    Got a contract IT job in Tacoma through April. Probably won't live in Tacoma. Been looking at Gig Harbor and other areas in Pierce County with .5 acre or more.

    My son and DIL had a beautiful lot/house outside Gig Harbor proper in Artondale. 1+ acre wooded lot, big ranch house all brand new inside, large high ceiling shop for cars, etc.

    Good luck with your venture, Gman....I hope everything works out well for you and yours.

    I don't regret leaving CO, but I do miss the payroll I was making there.

    Seeing as how my last 2 contract gigs here never went anywhere (Thanks Covid-19 economy), I'm not having that problem. When you're contracted at $100/hr, and your time multiplier is 0, we all know the result. I'm not getting near that for this contract, but I'll be glad to be getting a paycheck again. This job gets us there. If it's a good fit and I'm happy there, making a bit less won't break my heart. If it's not a good fit, then it's easier to find another job when I'm local, and it always seems easier to get a new job when you have a job. Remote work is also more of a possibility since the plandemic.

    A big concern is getting my wife to an elevation that should alleviate much of her breathing issues. Once the fires are out, the air quality there is also significantly better than here on the front range. Being closer to my folks and getting to spend more time with them before they're gone is the other priority. Since I won't be spending all of my vacation time to go visit my folks, we'll also have the opportunity to visit my father in law more often.
