Uncle Markie out and about.
Refresh for a different picture!
Spent the morning clearing out wood debris from the garage and getting the trailer loaded for a dump run: Even bolted a rope and wrench holder to the front tongue another proiect that had been sitting around fror way too long. Of course, the garage is cleaner, but as you can see, still lots [...]
More things getting fixed around the house. Note the new lighting on the deck: Now I just need to finish the other lights I have stuck in a couple of bins in the garage. Not today, maybe tomorrow. Swung by the apartment to pick up a package, which turned out to be two packages. A [...]
Attempt number two — had to up the storage capacity (twice) to get the results. The first video I wanted to show was this one, rather than just my messy office on a Sunny Sunday. Had this been a real post, it would have been something more interesting than a walk-through of my cluttered house [...]
Apparently Paul Allen is downsizing look what is up for sale: Click on the link for the full specs. Here is an edited version of what my buddy says about the question of downsizing I posed to him: Hard to believe Fraser Yachts can’t even get the details right. The boat in the picture is [...]
Exciting news might have located a yellow Western Electric phone to go with my Charlie’s Angel Speakerphone Set. Today was scholarship reading at the Washington Athletic Club. Started at 11am on a stack of 35 applications, finished a little after two. Luckily lunch and soft drinks were supplied. At least two of the people’s applications [...]
A quiet morning around the condo now that my major client has halted all work, but not bothered to tell me why. All in good time I suppose. Guess I really won’t be buying anymore WorldMark points this trip. Before I head to the airport, here is a little video from last night’s dinner: [...]
It’s amazing what I will do for $75 sit through an hour long sales pitch. Luckily they were running behind on their appointments so it was sitting around for 15 minutes and 45 minutes of sales pitch. I always tell them up front that it can’t be longer than an hour as I have [...]
From full house, to nobody home. That’s the Rose Street house today. Jon has an 11:30am train to Eugene, and I have a 3:30pm plane to San Diego. And as timing goes, MoonSong coming to clean tomorrow is perfect as more guests show up for dinner on Thursday night, and a weekend stay starting Friday. [...]
We have settled into a routine. Jon gets up early and makes coffee (and I’m guessing toast). I get up later, turn on NPR, get coffee, get the paper, check email for critical items. Breakfast is in the 10-11am range, thought tomorrow that will be earlier with Jon’s train at 11:30 (and my flight at [...]
Seems that my brother and I have settled into shopping as the “bonding” activitity. The Swinery for pat and smoked kielbasa. Tip avoid going on the weekend, the place is packed Outdoor Research (no sale) Filson for a hat for my brother Some other outdoor store where I got a couple of pairs of [...]
Today was all about torturing my brother torturing him with things he wants but can’t fit into his luggage for the train home: Bamboo Hardwoods (though he might be able to fit the 4×8 rolled bamboo as carryon) Earthwise (massive stainless steel sink for the pottery shed) Habitat For Humanity store (oven vents for [...]
