I can't believe how cool it is.

It's almost like fall in mid-summer.  Oh, enjoying it.  But it is sort of kicking me off my feet.  Sleep was good, if it didn't happen until really late.  No dreams, no fuss, just solid sleep.  The girls made enough noise to wake me about mid-sleep.  Not needing the fan or ac, at least when I go to bed, their sounds aren't drowned out by the fan, ac, and air flow.  But it still won't get them fed.  If you feed cats when you wake up they will keep trying to wake you up earlier and earlier.  I give them four to six hours, and make it variable so they can't really try to time even that, before feeding them.  It works.  They are just being fussy because my days and nights are rotating a bit, and they can count time to some degree. 

I checked to see if the deal had gone through on my home.  It seems the number they arrived at, for a 28 year payment plan, was over 20% (if I have it right) of an increase over the payments I had been on.  Which, is only a problem for bankers who want you to spend your income on "stuff", and more, borrow based on that income for "more stuff".  I was already almost doubling the old payment on my own.  Can't see where a 20% would be a problem.  Further, whatever else happens, I will probably be jumping to 200% of the new payment, and maybe up to 250% by January.  If all else fails, they simply have to go back to the 30 (instead of 28) year schedule, which means (technically) a lower payment... but which won't matter a bit to me, since their calculate payment will have little to do with how much I end up paying, that being based on how much unused income I'd rather pay on the cave than spend.  :p  I am curious how fast doubling, or doubling and an half, would increase the payoff.  I'd have to see the numbers first, though, all of them.  Is that interest per year or how is it processed, what is the final, for sure, debt amount?  Then I could toy with an actuarial calculator, or formula.  It's difficult to find a calculator, online, that doesn't require cookies, few of them show as trustworthy, and even those that do are trackers.  :p

I was asked to send a paystub and w-2.  I suggested he get ahold of the Navy, they were the last to issue such.  Don't they read the files they are working on?  I did let him know my income total per month/year, and where those were derived.  I'll check, shortly, to see if that has been tended. 

I also wish to call my store and get 30# of meat ordered and to be sliced.  That's a lot o' meat to just buy, more so to slice.  It might take a while.  If it's too big of an order, I suppose some other arrangement can be made.  I should figure out how much jerky is advised for a year or two.  Just sitting at home, a packet, say three to four ounces, is pretty good for a day.  Along with other stuff.  On the trail, more would be required.  Probably double, and a lot more other food as well.  Still, it would be good to get a perspective, say from what a mountain man might order for his season out, or a trapper.  Mind you, most of these men were small.  Definitely smaller.  Most were in the 5'6" range, and 130-150 pounds.  That was normal, and actually larger than most of their European contemporaries.  So doubling the order wouldn't be impractical at all... and then some.  I want to get a couple of years of food laid up, some of it in easy travel form.  Actually, probably a couple years of various stuff in that precise form.

Today though?  Bleh.  A call to place an order on meat, then... I don't know.  The cool, the heat, the changes, I'm sort of blasted and beat down.  Life is good though, so there is that.  I just can't seem to get to much.  I'll... keep... looking for opportunities.  Later.
