We signed loan documents today. I sent wire transfers for more than $80,000. It doesn’t get much more real than that.
We should fund on Monday, and close escrow on Tuesday morning. After five years of living on Zillow for hour after hour and looking at house after house, it’s a bit unreal to actually be at this point.
We still have to get everything packed and ready to bug out on Wednesday and Thursday next week. It will be an exhausting weekend.
Another “last” tonight, as SpaceX had an almost perfect launch out of Vandenberg after sunset.
A couple of minutes before the launch, the light fading, a bit of color in the clouds. (That white, comet-like thing above the wire isn’t the rocket, it’s a lens flare from the neighbor’s security lighting.)
The launch was fantastic, complete with four or five teenagers pulling up mid launch with one girl screaming about “that thing in the sky,” some dude telling her it was the Moon (it was not the Moon), and some olde phart (me) yelling across the street to tell them what it really was.
