Late-late Wednesday night, Thursday morning really.
I've been busy, shipping stuff and gathering shipping supplies. The usual. We're doing well, we might even be making money.
My printer, after about 10 years, is getting too persnickety to live with so I found a new open-box one on Ebay for a couple hundred and put it in our Cart. When Ken came over tonight I told him about the printer situation and got let him pull the trigger. So I'll have that within a week, I think.
Ebay, in their theme of "We're Getting Harder To Use!(tm)" doesn't let me do refunds and hardly lets me send invoices so I'll have to tell customers that it's just tough, I don't combine shipping unless they can find a way to get Ebay to put it all in a batch.
Ken and I talked about brass tacks a bit (money) and things are OK now, but he said he'd like to try to sell this business in July or so. I said I'm leaving in November, and he said "That's why I want you to mentor someone from July on". I made funny little noises. I said "The reason I'm making funny little noises is, I was thinking and I might want to stay on another year, more likely two. The rest of this lease. That'll let me save up more money and make my Social Security fatter".
Ken perked up at this. He gushed about how he didn't collect Social Security until he had to for this reason, and he thinks it's the best way to do it. He wants it to be Alex and Ken, Krass & Bernie, into the indefinite future. He actually likes this stuff; I just like money and having a stable place to live.
It might be time to retire this blog also.
