Today: Billable Hours — actually made some money today. Business cards, renewal cards, lobby artwork, prospect and member’s calendar site, Oakland trips, many details. Wiring of SOB — fished/ran wires to the back of SOB — truly a pain since we are talking 110 and two runs of AV cables. Three coming (Left, Right, Video), [...]

Plans up in the air? Jameson and crew not due until Tuesday night — guess I’d better get my vegan recipe’s in order Whitaker has EMT classes, so now he is coming Wednesday, when I’m on the road and MoonSong is cleaning the house. Today’s accomplishments: More room in the garage for the Jag Less [...]

Too much to do today… Finish video wiring for SOB Print talent/live auction/silent auction/fashion show sign-ups for the upcoming gathering Fold and stitch 200 7-sheet directories Clean the house for upcoming company And how did I fare? Video wiring stopped for lack of the proper size drill bit Sign-up sheets printed 100 of the 200 [...]

Well — by 10:30 we (that would be MoonSong) had the power moved from the dryer circuit to the back porch. Amazingly quick and easy. By 11:00 we (MoonSong and I) had grunted the three appliances going on the back porch, and moved the pop machine to the garage. In the process we cleared a [...]

Well, the roof is on! Now I want to add a nice window above and make a sleeping loft in the attic. Tomorrow’s task is to move the power from the old dryer to the outside to power the Hobart Commercial Convection oven (and the 2-Drawer Warming Oven that sits underneath it). For today while [...]

Well, we are marching forward on getting the Outdoor Kitchen up and running. In a perfect world it will be done by the time company shows up on Sunday. Right now it’s three people, but it could turn into four if Whitaker shows up to work on SOB (Son of Bob) and get the inverter [...]

Well, the next big project has begun on the Rose Street House — The Outdoor Kitchen. Before: Here is the plan — extend the roof out four feet on each side and tie it back in to the existing roof at about a 30 degree angle. This means that the pop machine will have to [...]

Up early — got to get on the road to make my early afternoon flight from DFW. I’d rather hang out in the Delta Crown Room than in small town Texas. It’s been an interesting trip — with luck I’ll have time to do a trip report when I get to the airport. Or maybe [...]

Sometimes it’s just fine when a date doesn’t pan out into an overnight. Tonight I have a room to myself. Something that has been lacking for the last several days. By 9:37am out of the hotel, yes, down to the minute. No trip to Texas would be appropriate without a Sam Houston viewing. Wait for [...]
