It started raining yesterday really heavy. I could hear it outside the window. THEN all of a sudden it turned into hail! It was actually kind of cool. Just loud pellets hitting the ground and cars outside. This is why I keep my car in the garage thank you very much.

Three more days until close. I'm kind of glad I am going to be onsite the next three days. Distract me from things. I wish I didn't have to drive in traffic but it is what it is. I did have an interesting exchange though yesterday.

Old friend of mine from years back did this thing on Kickstarter. I backed it because it was cool and because of our relationship. I reached out to him yesterday to see when he was planning on shipping because I wanted to give him the new address. We shared a few emails and it turns out he is CEO of this analytics company. I am now on Friday talking to his CTO and head of product to discuss some of the challenges they are facing. They are also building out a center of excellence in, you guessed it, MI. He was talking about how he could possibly use my help in getting that setup. I don't think I would want to switch jobs, but if I could do some side work for him and make a little extra scratch, I am not complaining. Funny how small this business is and how a simple email can lead to things. Nothing may come of it, but who knows. Like I say, even just a few thousand in side money would help right now. Especially since it looks like it will run me $500 to get the bike shipped. Ugh. But that's cheaper than what the movers want. And it will be done. Get it picked up this weekend and be good to go.

Turned in our 30 day notice yesterday too. I told them it wasn't valid until Thursday but since I wasn't going to be home, I was dropping it off early. They are going to try and work with me on the lease break fee. We'll see what happens on that.

Made pesto shrimp for dinner. Some nice angel hair. Still trying to eat through everything in that fridge. I am doing my best dammit.

So close now to being on the road.
