Boring Life StuffAll In One Place
Spent the afternoon counting boxes that arrived from Noded North. Having two homes is going to take some time to undo. We still have a lot more stuff then we need and we've sold or given away a whole bunch. One more day of unloaded at Nodette ones house tomorrow. By the way we used Adco Van and Storage out of Barrington IL. They did a nice job for us. Including getting the house packed up on a 98 degree day.

Boring Life StuffNoded North Is Empty
The came and packed up Noded North yesterday. The place looked strange empty. It took 25 years to fill the place and forever to clean it out. Championship movers worked in 98 degree weather all day. I kept them in Powerade with more than one trip to the store. I am looking forward to not lifting heavy boxes and have acquired an adversion to packing tape. Got three hours south of Chicago area last night. Mrs Noded found a fly swatter in the dresser at the hotel room. She commented "You take me to the nicest places".

Boring Life StuffLast Round
It's hard to think that I play my last round of golf at Bonnie Dundee Golf Club. I've been the course pretty much since I took up golf about 7 years ago. The first time I played the course I was paired up with a guy who had been playing the course since he was 16. He was 66 when we played and he still played pretty well. The course was built in 1928.
I think of Bonnie Dundee as my home course for Noded North. It was easy to get to and while it has a lot of challenging par 4's you don't get in much trouble there unless you mess up 9 and 17 which are right along side the highway. I may have played my best round at today shooting an 82. Usually if you play later on a Sunday afternoon and you get into the par 5 13th you start to hear a mexican band that always seems to be playing not far from the course. I think there must be a mexican bar near by. Anyway the music is not loud enough to be distracting and is sort of a signature of the course to me. For a park district course it is in really good condition and has improved over the last 7 years.
So today was probably the last time I will play there and I will miss the course and the people that have worked their that have made me feel welcome. And the course itself finally gave me a bit of a goodbye with a good round.

But I'm feeling much better now.Moving Sale Over
The moving sale is over. We got rid of most of the big stuff. Took the philosophy that we amortized all the original cost out of stuff long ago and any money we made was just extra cash. Now crashing into bed after a shower. I am so glad that we were able to do this in the middle of the summer and not the middle of the winter.
