Have a handyman over taking care of hanging new curtain rods, touching up the dry wall, and recaulking the tub in the master bath as my I work on removing and replacing a broken wall mount microwave, re-anchoring the drain spout, re-screening the sliding screen door, and sanding, staining, and then applying a coat of polyurethane the banisters. Packing is coming along slowly but surely, but the big push is

By far one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do here lately in preparation for the move I finished today:  packing away all my larger fighting knives. Sure, I still have my pistols and my rifles available to me — and a few smaller knives, including a “semi-auto” retractable and an “executive letter opener” made out of hardened resin, intended to beat metal screeners.   And yes, my
