I mean, I’ve been in the same place for an entire year. Why on Earth wouldn’t I pick up and move again? In all seriousness, by Saturday I will back in Houston for a quite long time. Things are pretty well prepped for me to go back to mechanical engineering. After a few meetings with the Veterans Services office at the University of Houston I’m in no way concerned about the financial side of essentially starting over in school. Dodging rockets and mortars for a few years seems to have ultimately paid off quite nicely.

In other news, I recently had a pretty excellent lunch meeting that may turn into quite a lot of (paid) photography. Since we know I love photography, and happens to have plenty of ridiculously expensive hobbies, guessing how glad I am such an opportunity has come my way shouldn’t be too difficult.

Summer school won’t be possible, and it looks like being a full-time student ever again won’t be either. There is the possibility that a double-major would fix the full-time issue, but as far as getting my VA benefits goes 50.5% of full-time or better still gets my all my money. At any rate, I need to actually register for some classes and complete a few forms to verify transfer credit for other coursework (going all the way back to High School for CAD).

With a move-out date set for July 7, 2009, I really need to figure out how I’m going to get everything back to Katy and where I’m going to put it when I get it there. I’m guessing a huge U-Haul will be the way to go, again. This time I’ve got a good deal more furniture than I had when I moved to San Marcos. We will see how that all works out. I definitely do not want to damage my quite nice, and quite expensive dinner table during the move. That would suck.

On the motorcycle front, I think I will wait until I’m back in Katy to sell my SV650S. One of the key reasons is that I actually have a driveway I can use there to wash the thing. Houston having well over 4MIL people doesn’t hurt the prospects of finding a buyer either. What I need to do first is find an acceptable FJR1300 for sale, so I can at least get things lined up to jump right back on another bike.

The only other thing left to do is look for a place to live come August. A house is a must, with a garage. Apartment dwelling does not work for me. If I’m going to pay a ton of money to live somewhere I don’t own, it may as well be as private as possible. Again, we will see where I end up.

Now for your viewing pleasure, I give you a recent storm.
