CLEANING UP

The aftermath of selling the house and getting all moved is not quite over.

We used financing to cover our purchase of the new Volvo, well, the 2008 Volvo, so I paid it off today.

I went to a new branch of the bank that gave us financing.

I was the first person the guy had who did this thing.

It was OK. He was quite honest about his situation. He called for help and got it.

We got a form. I wrote the check. He sent both off to the final payoff department which I already knew about.

You have to confirm the exact payoff amount and they are the ones to handle it and the check.

I didn't want to send a check that big in the mail and so this was a nice alternative.

I also short circuited the process so it is highly unlikely that I am going to end up with a balance of five dollars or something fucking annoying like that.

Left to go is the sale of the Jeep so that we will become a one car family.

This is a bit harder. We came out here in the Cherokee and it is one of the family. I was going to run it into the ground but actually, the auto actuaries counsel, this is the time to sell it.

I has fairly low milage for a 13 year old auto, 77,000, and is in good shape so it commands a bit of a premium in the used car market.

It also has the high shocks and four wheel drive. We thought we would need this for desert driving. We used it once. But it will help the resale for the same specious reasons. The buyer will think that s/he can go cross country which they can. They just will not. I bet.

The same friend who helped us sell the 1984 Chrysler Le Baron, Town and Country Mark Cross Edition, will help with this.

So it isn't over until it is over but it is mostly over.
