The storm before the calm

It's a bit odd knowing that this will be my last night at FOB Borepatch.  The truck is here, packing will go quickly (I have a roll of furniture-wrap), and the dolly is ready to roll.  By afternoon, we should be out, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.



Seeing the place get stripped down makes me realize just how hard I tried to make it homey.  Kind of pitiful, really.  I won't miss the place. Texas, yes.  Austin, heck yeah.  Being away from home for 5 weeks at a time?  Not so much.

You know you're going to have a hard time staying away from the Texas Blogshoots...you'll be back to visit.

Congrats, BP. Great to hear that this is over... I'd imagine that it'll be a while before you contemplate doing THAT again!

Very happy for you. You will be missed around here. But...we know where to find you, on the blogosphere at least.
Should ever need to come back to the Republic of Texas, for any reason. There's quite a number of us now that will vouch for you. :-)
Ya'll be careful going home. Say hi to KerriBlue for Belle and I.

"...creek don't rise" actually referred to the Creek Indian nation...not far from Texas

Good luck

Texas just got a little less bright. Austin just got a little less sane... Sad to see you go, but wish you well.

I know that you will be glad to be back home with your family.
