re: "De is now a transient"

Being a transient is pricier than you'd think. I sent my excavator a fat check last week and just yesterday received this estimate on pouring the foundation:

There's some risk that the concrete truck will not be able to get up the driveway. I'm therefore arranging to have a bulldozer present to give it an additional push, should that be needed. Fortunately, the guy doing the excavation says he doesn't use his that often and he doesn't mine parking it there for the week of the pour.

My builder thinks I'll have a foundation poured and capped (I can't say that I really know what that means but I gather that it's important to do before the freeze comes) and the first floor pretty well framed this year. However, the first big winter storm could arrive as soon as October or as late as January, and that plays a big role in how much actually gets done.

Rest assured Captain that I have not taken out a loan or mortgage on my house for bitcoin, worthless coin, whole coin, or any other coin....

I think it is safe to say that likely our resident frog has not either. De is now a transient and that leaves Professor and Mr. Wizard and Zim.....

All we can safely say for sure is those people who have done so are flat out crazy......
