The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

How do you know we didn't get married ? bwaaaahahahaha. Hopefully, most beautiful women marry into wealth. I've do have some real estate stuck to my shoes, some silver in Oral Bank and some CDs in my portfolio case. These days, I'm an oil barren, a money mongol, and my next house will be a manufractured home. Why, why, why couldn't my last name be Rockefeller? |

It was Renee's knot. They've been married for a while now. This was their late ceremony. We were tempted to jump up there... |

We drove around, pushing through the cold Seattle Easter afternoon, trying to find a place to share a feew warm smiles. Finally, we came to an interesting place in Queen Anns.
We ended up at Julia's. The atmosphere was great, the service was friendly, the food was wonderful and price was under $25. The restaurant was a house at one time. The waiter and host we very friendly. On a laugh, the waiter told us he was Cher, and the Bunny was Madonna at Le Faux. And the host dug up a brochure. We finally found a cool restaurant !!! Below is a picture of the wine cellar. |

I got a FLOWBEE. It's a hair clipper that attaches to any wet vac. My hair is getting bushy and I figured, since I'm going to have to spend some money anyway, why not spend it on something that will pay for itself. Hopefully it works okay. You set if for two inches, turn everything on, and it sucks your hair into a tube and cuts it. All the trimmings go into the vacuum. Our bed sprung a flat! So we sprung for another Coleman inflatable bed. Inflatable furniture is kind of nice. It's cheap to replace, and you always have new furniture!!! Nobody will ever complain about your old couch. You can even keep replacements in your closet. I'm hoping someday someone will invent an inflatable house that fits in a backpack! |

03/12/2008 21:00:25 jim The big hole in my dash is handy | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Don't need no stereo. I can fill that hole with snacks! It could even hold a night bag. I was surprised how easy it is to break into an F150. The thief must have taken a screwdriver, placed it in the key slot, punched in the door lock and given it a twist. The door lock is just barely held in place, so its easy to punch inward. Once the lock is loose, all it needs is to be rotated. I'm just grateful he didn't rip the wires out. He was careful enough to unclip the wires from the stereo, and to remove the moldings without breaking anything. My locks needed fixing anyway. Ford's power lock actuators (the things that electronically unlock the doors) go bad in Vegas heat. When they go bad, you can't use the remote to unlock your doors. They will fix them for $400, and they'll go bad again, and again. And you'll end up living in a cardboard box howling at the moon. I got two actuators today for my door locks. The idea was to get the remotes working, then I don't need my busted key lock fixed (which could be very expensive if Ford did the work). It took 1.5 hours to do the driver side door. Gosh, they make it. You need fingers 5 inches long! But now that I know how to do it and the tools are already down there, the passenger door actuator should go much quicker. Maybe. Anyway...it was a productive night, and now I can drive around with a little confidence. What I liked about Ford's improvements Ford used to have these clips that would break whenever you took off a door panel. No more...the panel has one screw, and simply unhooks. I replace the hard drive in my laptop last weekend. Actually, its the laptop the SAE used to have. Becky was using mine. My hard drive croaked. I got a new laptop, then fixed my laptop, and gosh, I'm getting more confusing the more I babble! |

The bus pass experience - Having to walk all over in the rain to get the wrong pass replaced. The truck being burgled - A visit from Poppa Lock yielded no stereo, no GPS. Dining Out - Eating at Fremont Dock, Nickersons, and Bubba's BBQ. Finding a way - Venturing off to St Marks Cathedral across the lake. Gaining New Friends - Its hard here, but its happening. Progress is extremely slow. |

This BBQ take out place is smaller than our apartment. It looks like a simple business to manage. Really easy!
They sell sodas, 4 sides, and 4 types of BBQ sandwiches that they smother.
They have a heat rack, a cooler, sink, fridge and POS cash register.. |
03/06/2008 21:57:47 jim WE WERE BURGLED !!! | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
My truck is parked in a locked garage under our building. It seemed secure.
Someone popped my door lock today and stole my stereo and GPS Unit.
I guess we're cursed here. We've been robbed twice in three months. |
