So....

Maria and Kim were approved by the judge (he owns the property, wasn't any legal proceedings) to move into the house. The lawyer is going to send him the money for rent and deposits. They are moving today, I won't be able to help them since I'm heading out on the road in a bit, they are stoked. It's a beautiful home.  Absolutely gorgeous and I know Maria will take care of it - but fortunately this time none of it is in my name, I have no legal obligation for anything.  Which is good cause' Addler isn't allowed over there anyway. They believe they can talk the judge into it, I don't have such optimism, but, James and Taylor will take care of them when I'm gone.  

That will, of course, result in me doing things for them I may not normally do.  The money spent at the other house will now be spent here. IF they get the judge to change his mind, I'll help Maria out with a fixed amount of money per month.  I really couldn't own dogs without help, I'm willing to pay for the help.  I'd far prefer the dogs over there, it's a huge property they can run around all over the place.  

Speaking of dogs, I took Aspyn in yesterday to the vet.  She's been losing weight, some diarrhea, tho eating healthy.  $363 later I was informed they weren't sure if it was parasites or a condition German Shepherds get where their pancreas isn't working properly and you have to give them special powder that, they also informed me, costs  $300 per bottle.  They suggested the deworming medicine first and if that doesn't work, we can try the powder.  Well, I found the powder - it's just some sort of enzymes added to the diet that help the pancreas work properly - for less than $50 per bottle.  So if the deworming doesn't work, I'll just get my own powder, these vet bills are always ridiculous.  But I wanted her checked out, she's lost a lot of weight.  

I have a run to Oklahoma today.  And then off to Brownsville Monday morning. I was off two full days after the PA trip.  Which was nice and yes, FedEx delivered the driver's license yesterday.  I didn't have to tell my employer - thankfully - that I drove 1,400 miles without a license on my person.  The drivers going to Brownsville today were complaining about the weather.  I looked at the radar. It looks like a hurricane! I mean, I guess it's not but it looks wicked evil, nothing I would want to drive through.  I have no idea what the weather will be monday, but hopefully all of that will be gone by then.  There is very little likelihood that anyone going down there today will actually make it.  Fast forwarding the radar, they will be driving through an extremely large region of extremely heavy rain - it will all be in red radar area.  There are ways to try and go around the worst of it, but you'd have to go wayyyyyy out of the way.
