Moving Site
At long last the moment Her Grace, Tiny Demon Warrior Princess, Empress of the Galaxay, and Pick Pocket Extraordinaire has been waiting for with breath unbated, it looks like our rook-house out in the Shadow Lands is almost ready for occupancy.
The upside is She will have lots of room to run around and chase small furry creatures (mountain lions, hogs, raccoons, miner's cats, opossums, fae hominids, and more).
The downside is we won't have full internet access until the internet provider comes out to hook up the satellite dish.
Therefore while I rummage through thirty pounds of fossils (ranging from 65,000,000 to 240,000,000 years old), dodge poopy diapers, and try to get the installation in something akin to but not order, it may be hard to reach me to ask for free e-copy of my work.
Then again my diabolical marketing plan to be virtually unknown as a hominin-keyboard-pounder with as close to zero actual sales as possible is paying off. Nobody has contacted me to ask for a freebie, or even a link to the econo-prints. Hmmm...
At any rate, if I'm not active on GR after Sunday don't despair, my curmudgeonly unlovable self will eventually return with acerbic inane comments unrelated to anything remotely resembling the posts being replied to, so there. Something for people to not look forward to, and in the interim I'll enjoy fresh rattlesnake eggs and stale bier for linner (the meal combining lunch and dinner).
Then again I'll still get notifications someone tried to contact me via my dumb-fon. Oh well, time to run, boxes await.
Now that the PSA is over, below you'll find links to my work, that is if you really don't want to contact me for a free e-book or direct-links to the econo-print versions. Have a great day, and keep reading when you have the opportunity.

The key to a good move is good logistics and planning.
Oohh... Sounds nice...! This reminds me that I'll have to send you those lemon-tree seeds before winter sets in... I have them here.

Have fun and keep reading.
@RFG: See you on the other side! Good luck with the move.
May the Schwartz be with you.Small Group Leader signing off.
I'll add my yays too. How's life in the country?
Water line problems due to bad engineering, and I killed my first scorpion inside this morning, but otherwise pretty great.
Too bad about the water... Hope it's not too expensive or extensive to fix that... :-( And scorpions inside!?
Aye, when we were in post housing at Medina we got stuck in the unit known to be Scorpion Hilton, which was pretty bad. I killed a lot inside as there were plenty of cracks and crevices they used as entry. The one I killed yesterday might have come in with the box my Skill Saw is in, as it was outside for a night or so. But as a rule, it's virtually impossible to keep scorpions outside when living in scorpion country.On the water, three issues are playing against each other. One, a possibly defective water meter. Two, the water company had one of two pumps go down for this area. Three, the company that set up the water line used 1.5" PEC pipe up to the house where it was reduced, even though for runs over 200' the water company recommends starting with 2" pipe.
Back in the day of my field grade expedient I would have followed the half rule, for forcing water up an incline (as the base of the house is higher than the local water tower). Our run is 350', so by halves 200' of 2" pipe reduced to 100' of 1.5" pipe reduced to 50' of 1' pipe which reduces to 3/4" pipe at the house. As the pipes go down in size pressure is increased to equal normal pressure at the top of the incline -- our house is roughly 35' higher than the water meter.
The company that did the water line has been dodging the issue hoping it will disappear, which it won't.
