Hotter than Hell.

The AC went on for the first time this season and things seem to be humming along. I hope the furnace and AC stay intact until I can sell the condo because it would be a real kick in the teeth if I had to spring for a new heating and cooling system.

815am- Arrived at Wilkerson's Shell to have the Accords 'Check Engine Light'. $88 for a diagnosis and nothing else. Walked home west on Monroe.

Called to have a home inspection with BSafe on Monday, 6/29. Inspection begins at 1230pm, and Joe and I will arrive at 230pm for the report. $380

Long conversation with Dax that went down in confusion. He agreed to have $125,000 taken from my account, but I failed to mention that this would only cover the cost of the new home and not allow for renovation costs. He didn't seem to like the idea of borrowing from Ken Sr. because he (and I) were under the impression that this money was tied to his investment accounts. However, Joe emailed me that this is just a checking account, and not tied to any investments. Once Dax learned of this, he felt it would be best for me to take $100,000 from my account (leaving me $37,000) and then borrow $45,000 from Ken Sr. This allows $125,000 for the purchase of the home and $20,000 for renovations. The loan would be repaid at the sale of the condo.

I called Dan at State Farm to set up insurance on the home on Westview. We went round and round for over a half hour and came up with the ball park figure of $840 per year. This seems high, but I later talked to Joe and found that he pays roughly the same percentage based on the value of his home. I will have a meeting with Dan at 11am on Tuesday 6/30 to work out the details.

To add to the confusion I'm having some kind of problems with Google. I'm having trouble logging on to my email and all things Google, but the internet connection is strong and everything else is loading properly.

It's now almost 230pm and I've been on the phone or swearing at the computer since about 830am. And, I still have to walk to Wilkerson's and find out the results. And, then some kind of workout.
