| n0wje | good morning | 15:41 |
| ColonelPanik | Hey. | 16:00 |
| n0wje | How are you? | 16:02 |
| ColonelPanik | Good, always good. | 16:02 |
| n0wje | great it is cold today! | 16:02 |
| ColonelPanik | Yes, we need to go to Grants but many roads are closed. Maybe Sunday? | 16:03 |
| n0wje | Are they closed? I haven't been watching the news. | 16:04 |
| ColonelPanik | Parts of I25 and I40 for sure. US60 mostly closed. http://nmroads.com | 16:06 |
| n0wje | yes went to it, but the website is different. | 16:07 |
| n0wje | looks like a mobile app. | 16:08 |
| ColonelPanik | http://m.nmroads.com/site.html?RoadConditions | 16:10 |
| mneptok | nmroads.com versus m.nmroads.com | 16:10 |
| ColonelPanik | Or you can just drive out and see for yourself? | 16:10 |
| mneptok | or stay in and not think about it ;) | 16:11 |
| n0wje | ha ha! no I rather stay nice and safe here in the house. | 16:11 |
| ColonelPanik | Got places to go and things to do, my dear wife has taken a new job in Grants and we need to get her set up there. Starts first week in Jan. | 16:12 |
| mneptok | will the homestead be moved, as well? | 16:15 |
| mneptok | too nosy? | 16:15 |
| n0wje | congrats | 16:15 |
| ColonelPanik | Well, I am still working on our present house, finish and sell is the plan. Mrs. Panik will get something cheap to start and then............? | 16:16 |
| ColonelPanik | If anyone would like to purchase a small house in Portales, Gnu Mexico just drop em a line. | 16:17 |
| ColonelPanik | I also have a nice Louisiana acre of prime swamp land with a mobile home, 40 miles from NO. Cheap, very cheap. Did I mention CHEAP? | 16:19 |
| mneptok | it's above water at LEAST 4 months per year! | 16:23 |
| mneptok | ColonelPanik: for both Portland and ABQ moves, woowoo and i rented before buying. get Mrs. Panik into a nice apartment with a 6 month lease, and start watching the market in Grants. | 16:24 |
| mneptok | or rent a house. | 16:24 |
| ColonelPanik | Little soft part of the year, yeah. | 16:24 |
| ColonelPanik | mneptok, yes and we have not done that and the job ends and we are stuck with property/mortgage. | 16:25 |
| ColonelPanik | Thinking about a camper at a place that charges $120/month. | 16:26 |
| mneptok | oh. i thought this career change was a known permanent deal | 16:26 |
| ColonelPanik | Lad, so did we but ENMU does not play nice (they are dumping tenured profs) think Wal-Mart, a few bosses and tons of part timers. I would not want my degree to be from Wal-School. | 16:28 |
| ColonelPanik | Where Nancy is going now should be her last deployment. Should. | 16:29 |
| n0wje | have a great Christmas and a good new year I got to take care of things outside. | 17:04 |
| ColonelPanik | You too. | 17:04 |
| mneptok | ColonelPanik: tenure was always more of a guarantee of intellectual freedoms than a job. but the two go hand-in-hand so closely ... | 17:50 |
| mneptok | at least in my mind it was. they couldn't fire you if they didn't like what you said. big deal being a Buddhist at The Catholic University Of America. ;) | 17:51 |
| mneptok | actually, i realized i was a Buddhist while at CUA. says a lot for the the U as well as protection of academic freedoms. | 17:51 |
| ColonelPanik | "Protection of Academic Freedoms" Thats a great concept but not in this country. | 19:28 |
