This has absolutely nothing to do with poker or football or gambling, but Mrs Johnnymac and I are moving out of our house temporarily (and in with her parents) because we are going to have some major remodeling work done on the house before the baby gets here. We close on the mortgage refinance next week and then the contractor starts demolition the week after and we are hopeful that everything will be done by the end of February. When we're done it's going to be really nice and much more appropriate for a baby, especially with new, quieter windows and wood floors that are going to be much more appropriate for a baby to be crawling around on than the dirty old (and in some places) broken terrazzo tile that is there now. We're also upgrading the electrical system (especially the garage) and updating the kitchen and the master bath, too.

Anyway, in preparation for this, I have been burning some excess vacation time this week packing most of our stuff into a storage container and emptying out most of the rooms in the house in preparation for the contractor to get started. I haven't had a moment's rest until just now and this is why I haven't been able to go over last week's football. Nevermind, I'll just write a long post tomorrow or Friday when I make my picks.

They came to pick up the container this week and I have to say it was one most convenient things I have done in a very long time - I literally packed a box and walked out the front door and placed it in the container - and furniture was just as easy since the thething was a ground level and we didn't have to muscle it up a ramp or otherwise have to get it off the ground. This was much easier than renting a truck and making multiple runs to a silly storage container on the other side of town.

I thought the contraption that they use to pick up the container was pretty cool, so I took some pics:











Pretty cool.
