Will find out.

To the bank, to see about a home equity loan.  Didn't look promising.   My mortgage lender keeps bumping my autopay off, making it look like I am late, in an attempt to keep me from getting a loan through a legitimate bank.  On the good side, the bank runs my finances, knows this is supposed to be on autopay.  And knows why it fails, if it fails.  Though, that doesn't mean they will necessarily give me the loan.  If they don't want to, they have a way out.

I went to see, as well, my friends' new home.  And, they have a puppy!  It's a bit squirrely, but I'm... a very large animal, and have a cat companion.  Dogs don't necessarily trust cat, or cat people.  Can't blame them.  Still, had to laugh.  He's a handsome doggie though.

Oh, and saw some of why my friend has been up to.  He makes stories, history.  Leaves little dents, and scrapes, and toys, here and there.  It is the stories that you are remembered by.  Tell them.

While out, I got us lunch.  Nothing fancy, but... In-n-Out.  For me, just burgers.  For him, burgers and fries.  I... like that.  Oh, but their banana peppers?  Holy smokes are those warm.  Those... aren't banana.  More like jalapeno, fresh rather than pickled.  Still, I quite enjoyed that.  

He had one first, and was going on about it being hot.  I suggested he was just a white guy.  So, when I bit into mine, and my eyes about popped.  He just suggested that, maybe, I too was just a white guy.  Had to laugh, I did.  And, fair enough.  Wow, but those were warm.  Nice though, I had that one and two more.  Though, mostly ate the other two in my burger.  Wow.  Not... a complaint, merely a surprise.

Clearing the house, if it goes through, is the first trick.  Then painting, and removing sideboards.  Looking for little repairs and things to do specifically.  Over a set price, beside pay, and more, is another allotment if I get over the threshold by a lot.  Incentive, to critically think value for improvements, to sale price.  Though, honestly, if I can do it for little enough, I may consider renting?  perhaps staying a bit longer right here?  Thinking.  Should have a better idea by spring.

So hungry, for sweets.  Stress sort of can do that.  So, yes, I... went off the track.  Ugh.  Anyway, will find out as soon as... I find out.  I did get the details, if it works, how it would go.  What the maximum of a full print of the loan would be, short and long term.  The interest rates, payment schedules and sorting.  All... within even my current income.  It would be tight, but loveable, survivable.  Will... find out.  Have some doubts if it will go through.  Will know when I know.

Later.
