I Think I Finally Found a New House

Well, since mid-February, I have been commuting 116 miles a day (round trip) between Stillwater and Chilocco, OK where work is located... 5 or 6 days a week... I fill up the car roughly once every 3 days, and almost ALL of my "disposable income" (yeah, RIGHT) is going in the gas tank! Soon, that may all FINALLY change!

I looked at a house in Ponca City, OK today (45 miles closer to work!)... older home in a nice neighborhood... the 2 neighbors who came over to introduce themselves (and check me out) have lived on the street 33 and 20 years respectively... One is a retired Police Officer. The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath... nice yard, enclosed garage, Direct TV already wired, 3 nice Pecan trees, and the rent is very reasonable. I went thru the house today, and met a nice guy named Leon who is working to get the house ready in the next 5 days. He was painting the kitchen when I visited, and seems to be doing a good job. I really need to be out of my current home by July 1st, and this seems to be my best choice. Here's the front view:
I think the house has a LOT of potential... I took some interior shots, but it's still being cleaned and painted, so I will wait until later to show the whole house. I will "Seal the Deal" tomorrow morning... So, if you're close to the Stillwater area, I will appreciate the help getting moved... I've already found a the perfect spot for the BBQ Grill! STEAKS are the perfect way to say "Thanks for the help moving!"

Hopefully I can start moving next weekend... Interesting fact: I am a Casino Surveillance Manager... and I just found out the guy who owns the house retired to Las Vegas and is a Security Manager at a casino there! (Small world... but I wouldn't want to paint it...)

That's cute. And I'd say even if the thing wasn't perfect, I'd rent it just to cut down on that mileage. That's crazy.

You could use my truck but it's like 1500 miles away or something like that. So I don't think that would be feasible. And that steak sounded good too. Dang.
