    Default It looks like I've bought myself a house...

    If everything goes off without any snags, I should be able to host tech days!

    I'm pretty pumped about it. Found a nice neighborhood over in old Garland and got what looks like a friggin' steal of a deal. I should close before Hallett... more details (and pics) to follow as events unfold!

    EDIT: Teaser pic. The place is still occupado... and the owners have it fixed up pretty nice...

    This is probably the best feature - the ridiculous back yard with a huge pecan tree hanging over the deck...

    Congradulations. Make sure they allow monkeys, Garland has been known to have some pretty weird restrictions. You'll be real close to the Garland public shooting range.

    They're trying to do you a favor and keep you from moving to Kentucky

    Congrats Rick, too bad it's so far away.
