Pretty good day today in Marble. Been here a week, have to go back next week as we are officially putting the Boulder house on the market. Started this morning w a fire with our coffee Decided to drive to Buttermilk for a hike. Local hikes still pretty muddy and unpredictable with conditions. Still a small pile of snow and park features on the main trail. Probably left over from x games. I saw 3 snowboarders playing around on it. I parked at Tiehack lift. The lift was spinning but did not see anyone ride it. Tiehack is just as steep to hike as it is to skin. I was uninspired and only hiked up a mile gaining about 1000’. There was nobody around, no wind, sunny skies. I rested my head in my backpack a while just watching the clouds, it was peaceful. Some neighbors we had met last time we were up here called our *land line* and asked if they could stop by. They are an elderly couple that have lived here 50 years. The guy has some great stories and history, love hearing to him talk. His wife baked us an apple pie, it was so sweet. The people here are somewhat guarded, but all so genuine and nice. I think it is going to feel weird going back to Boulder after this longer stay here. Marble is really starting to feel like home.

I think realistically when you have a yard sale, you spend a whole day to make a few hundred dollars. Not worth all the hassle. We have been purging things for the last 2 months. Lots of trips to good will, gave a lot to friends, sold some things. I am hoping someone who buys are house wants it furnished. I have friends I can stay with if I visit. I was just telling someone the other day that I absolutely do not miss the shore. It was nice growing up at the beach and it’s nice to visit. As far as skiing in PA….I miss spending weekends in the Poconos with my kids when they were little.

you will never ever hear me say, "im going to have a yard sale." I would rather go buy a whole bunch of good beer and light my shit on fire outside and make smores. Next time i move, im getting a huge dumpster. i threw so much out last time, and moving furniture just sucks. Next time, new house, new furniture.

Still a tax deductible donation to a charity. I learned that from Bill Clinton , he donated some used underwear.

You guys are leaving beer money on the table . Pick a local auction place and drop it off , they get 40% but sometimes you get 2 people who really want your junk and they get into a bidding war and pay too much. Over the years I've sold thousands on Ebay but it got to be a pain so I just drop stuff off.

There's a whole culture of trash pickers that emerge from the darkness the night before bulk trash pickup. I'll put stuff out on Thursday night in preparation for bulk trash on Friday and it's usually gone by the morning.

Finally got around to fixing the rotting part of the fence. Should’ve just bought the pre built panels but went the more cost effective route and built the panels myself.
