As I thought.

No dice on the home offers, most likely.  If the first one out of the park wasn't even in the ballpark.  It was less than even the V.A. quote.  I just thanked them for their time, and sent them back on down to little-league.  Perhaps someone will accept their lowball.  Still, now I have some idea about what I am looking at.  At least I won't have to figure out where to go, or what to do.

And, rabbits.  There is some conversation going on.  Picky about sales.  Which is fine.  I added information, my intentions, and such.  At least for the Americans.  I'll contact the other rabbiteer tomorrow.  I'm not in good condition to mess with that this afternoon.  Really, I am not picky about breeds.  The American might be slightly less interesting, in some ways.  But more interesting in other ways.

As a rare breed, part of the program is to increase their numbers, but keep them pure, whole, without wrongbreeding them.  And, they are easier rabbits to tend, generally milder and easier to handle.  Which, this time, if I get younger ones, I will get them used to handling immediately and well.  Whichever breed it is.  Assuming some surprise offer on the house doesn't come through.  But with one down, and three to go, I... have doubts.  Then again, the one quoted at $350k is still... sniffing around.  I just don't think they are legit, at this point.  Trying to get freebies from scared... well... rabbits.  Or people overextended, hoping for a bit of air, room to breath, a way out.  I... am quite comfortable, give or take.  I'm looking for more comfort, not a nickel and a pat on the head.

Bit by bit, things will work out, I guess.  Oh... the swamp cooler is helping.  It's not exactly great, but it is better than what it was, slightly.  And definitely better than just opening up the place without anything else.  Not exactly superior, just slightly better than the better of the other two options.  Though, maybe, I'll bring it in.  See if that helps.  Just... only fill it outside.  The major problem with that is lifting the thing, without breaking or tipping it, the four to six to ten inches over the entryway.  It's plastic, flimsy, and with weight... four inches... and... easy enough.  A slight spill, but only outside.  And, yes... that is... a bit more helpful.  I may close the front door, to just a crack open, see if that helps... after trying this with the front door more fully open.  Ugh.  At least I have the energy, today, from enjoy some of the cool last night, to do things.

Really, much better.  all around.  But, if I could get this cooler still, in here, or even really cool, I might be able to get to more work.  Which... is all I want.  Whether I am going or staying, I'd like to clear the house out, clean it up, maybe paint the walls.  Things I have wanted to do, just haven't quite been able to do.  Go, leave, doesn't matter.  I like to work, tinker, improve my lot and the lot of the world around me.  It's... my job.  

The microgreens are coming along.  My only problem is waiting!  Still, a pinch, now and again, is tasty.  Two trays.  One of alfalfa, one of broccoli I think.  A few days going, a few days to wait.  I'll add another tray tomorrow.  The thing is to remember to pour the bottom catchment tray over the lot enough.  Three, maybe five, times a day.  They haven't died, so I must be doing it enough.  Then to green them, when they get near done, and then store them.  Tasty little bits, to be sure.  

Later.
