Busy day. Shampoo'd 1000 square feet of carpet here, hosed down the guest bathroom, hung pictures, installed IIS 5.0 on my XP Home Edition laptop (not supposed to be able too) and installed Active-Perl. I just love to play. It's been quiet here. No phone ringing, no knocks at the door. Becky and I did swing by to see Sharon Sheppard last night (which was very interesting).

Cool Mikey! Glad to hear things are going well at Northrop. May the farce be with you Lukewarm Flywalker.

Now...after reading half a perl manual...I think I understand a lot of this weird language
Saturday, February 28, 2004 at 08:27:31 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Ooops..does my perl program have a problem?

Set up 2 bedrooms for rent today. Becky vacuumed, helped me rehang some pulled down curtains and throw away ruined linen. For the life of me, I'll never know why people rent rooms, but still I go on doing it. Videoconferenced Sonny today and cooked up a wonderful bouillabaisse!!! Saffron is definitely the most expensive spice on this planet: .06oz @ $16 = $267 an ounce. You would think the Columbian's would be harvesting it!

I hooked my brother up on the net: set him up for dialup/wireless/outlook/hotmail/msn messenger/pogo/games.com/msn zone...you name it. He's lvSonny now. We kicked back and played games...even had a video conference. He's hooked!
Thursday, February 26, 2004 at 15:06:04 (PST) <Sonny Cutlar>
Hey Jim...I'm on the net!!! YEA!!!

Gay marriage...now, is that really an election issue? Marriage laws have penalized some couples and helped others. It is a legal contract between two people. Marriage in some states say couples don't even have to be tax payers..go figure. But all in all, marriage is not a religious thing...remember separation of church and state, it's a political thing. Its how we are classified for taxation and vote mongering.

Its been 57 days since Rob took his life and I still don't know how to think about his death. I see my aging face in the mirror. The past is gone, but its etched itself into the wrinkles of my smile. And as I float through time's boundless regions, I still ask the question: "Why all this? Was anything that has happened in my life really necessary? And if so, for what possible purpose?"  Rob got his answer with one shot I suppose, but I'm gonna hang out for the end of this incredible ride. And maybe, on somebody else's face, I'll be etched into a wrinkle of their smile. I guess that's as good as any purpose in this incredibly short life.

Just a note about the Nevada State Contractors Board ---> doh! They said my roof contractor was a BAD MAN, guilty of all kinds of things...and if he paid $200 for the $100,000+ worth of bad roofs he did, he could have his license back. Can you believe that? The hearing had several parties all screwed by him. Oh, and that wonderful $40,000 Bond they put up to get their license...forget about it! Its a junk insurance bond, nobody gets it.
Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 07:39:11 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Tuesday morning. Phones don't work here and it's the wiring somehow? Today is a good day to wire. I'm a witness at a hearing today. It's taken the Nevada State Contractors Board 6 years to have a hearing on the roofer who put shingles on my flat roof. So, Buyer Beware. Who cares if your contractor has a license or not? It didn't help me with my 3 ceilings and 2 walls semi destroyed by leaks. Roof technology is at least 3,000 years old. I would have been better off tieing palm leaves to my roof.

Back from LA. I gave Mike a nice send off. We ate at the Gladstone restaurant near Marina Del Ray (I think). The food was excellent. Mike moves out and Becky moves in. Next week, my Step-brother is coming. I'm so very tired. It's going to be a busy day tommorrow, and here I am after driving 12 hours. I've got to move the furniture I moved into Becky's house, back into this one, then straighten up for my brother-in-law coming, and get Becky squared away for work.

Saturday, February 21, 2004 at 08:41:20 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Its a rainy day in Vegas. It seems like it's raining all over the world.
Friday, February 20, 2004 at 20:08:26 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Well, Becky's living with me now. Becky's family is not as loyal as most I guess. We'll pick up the rest of her stuff later. It seems so cold, that her own Mom, out of pure self-interest, would get her brother to team up with her to kick her out. Becky kicked in over $1,200 a month to that household. Her Mom's not going to kick in a single penny. After her Mom heard Becky's son's girlfriend was pregnant, she used the excuse to kick Becky out because Becky "Didn't walk her kids to school". The school is 2 blocks away. Non of any of this makes 10 IQ points worth of sense to me. Unless her mom simply wanted to move back closer to her job. I think I've had smarter house plants!
Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at 11:05:06 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Thanks for the EMail Mike. I guess I'll be losing you as a roomie this weekend. I'll be hanging out at the house for the rest of the week.
Tuesday, February 17, 2004 at 19:17:54 (PST)
Jimmy... I sent you a email today. Please read it.
Tuesday, February 17, 2004 at 17:10:24 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Another fun day! I helped someone who locked their keys in a car get in...by popping out a window (took 5 minutes). It took 10 minutes to put it back in.
Monday, February 16, 2004 at 11:05:16 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Happy President's Day! It's a great time to think about Mr President..1..2..3.., there, I'm done. I am glad he doesn't think of me. He might destroy my house because I have mustard, chlorox and fertilizer. Hmmm, now where did I put that plutonium?
Saturday, February 14, 2004 at 18:27:47 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Happy VD! I had Becky, her kids, chicken wings, shrimp tails, chili cheese dip and the Pirates of the Caribbean for VD!

I just learned my Ex's brother Jon died last week in Forest, MS. He was only 43. Jon lived here for about 6 months or so.
Thursday, February 12, 2004 at 20:10:13 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Well, it's been just another day in Paradise here on Walton's Mountain. Mikeboy got a job in the big city of LA, I think he starts in a couple of weeks. He's been shacking up here for a couple of years, now. I'm gonna miss the ol'boy. On the other hand, I'm gonna put my TV BACK in the bathroom when he moves out!!! Gotta restore some sanity to this place! lol.

Good Morning Jim We talked on the phone last night it was after 10pm. I will be calling you at 9am today. I have an appointment at Neveda Partner's at 11am. The wind is blowing like crazy over here this morning it's 8:35am. Luv Ya becky
Thursday, February 12, 2004 at 07:46:36 (PST) <Larry Lewis>
Hi Jim, new site looking good. Sounds like you been having a little fun with it and learning some new stuff. Maybe you can teach me someday. Take care.
Thursday, February 12, 2004 at 01:18:30 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Uh Oh. I told Becky I'd call her around 11pm. Since then, I've had visitors, and I've talked to Mike about him leaving in 2 weeks or so and about his rent. Dang, it's late now! I hope Becky's not mad at me for not playing online pool with her. :(. Jeese..the way things work sometimes is so unpredictable.
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 17:42:08 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Well...I guess I've done a good job on this website. At least noone's told me any different. It's been nice grabbing technology by the balls and shaking it around a little. :)
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 11:47:42 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
This is GREAT! Chuck Sheppard is moving back to Las Vegas next week. He'll be 4 doors down from me!
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 11:07:38 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Talked to Jerry Newberry this morning. He broke his leg on an ATV..OUCH. Those things are so picky...guess you never put you're leg down while making a turn. It's instinct but the wheel sucks you right down under it. He's laid up for awhile.
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 10:34:07 (PST) <Becky Spurling>
Good Morning babe. I read your messeges I'm glad that u had fun visting Sonny he is a great guy. Love U Becky
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 09:24:10 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Point to Ponder - Is the model of the Statue of Liberty wearing underwear? Well, some things we'll just never know.
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 09:05:03 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Its funny how ya notice things. Like Mike, my roomie. He's collecting his stuff from around the house, and as usual, he's not paid me rent. What a guy! He hopes he's gonna get this job in CA, and he's gonna tell me another story about how he just forgot the rent money. What are friends for?
Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 09:01:21 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
GMorning. Its a crisp 51 degrees outside here in Las Vegas. I went by and visited Sonny last night. Talked to Allen and some girl he was hitting on in a chat room. Talked to Jimmy Leavelle. Now, I was drinking beer...but it seems funny how the pots often call the kettle black. lol. Whatever, I had a fun day. Brought little Jennifer over a 9 drawer dresser she so desperatly needed too! And that was a good thing.

Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 23:00:57 (PST) <Becky Spurling>
Hi there lover. Want to play with me?
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 22:59:08 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Hey babe...this Note area could be a chat room if it reloaded every second!!!!
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:55:17 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Hey Becky! If you are there? I bought Pirates of the Caribbean tonight! You and your kids should watch it over here..yahoo!
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:26:42 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
It's been over a month since Rob Allred shot himself. He was my best friend up to the end. I hope I never get over those memories we shared. Rob, my Mom, and my stepdad's legacy's to me were the memories we shared. And as long as I'm alive, I'll tell people about them: their good thoughts, their good deeds, their good hearts. I hope more like them will come to exist. THANKS YOU GUYS!
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:10:57 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Ya know, I always hoped computers would come up with one language to control them, maybe ENGLISH. I studied Cobol, Basic, and now I'm learning C, Javascript and Perl. It takes intimate knowledge of 5 languages to write ONE APPLICATION these days. While computers have pretty much the same instruction set as they did 20 years ago, people have come up with different instruction sets to be compiled into the same computer instructions and it's a frigg'n mess.
It's like, current programming technology was created by a one figured typist that was INSANE! ROTFL!!!
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:06:05 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
As if anyone reads this anyway..lol
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:04:11 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Sorry, I always get silly after a beer.
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 18:03:19 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Ever notice that people always go all out for what want, but once they have it, it becomes ordinary. All girls give the best head in the beginning. After that, they sit on the couch, watch TV and scatter popcorn everywhere, then they blame the mess on you. LOL.
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 17:47:01 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Another idea...ever try to find a laptop station for you car or truck...$300 to $500. Well, that's insane. All you need is a swivel, like a music stand, that pulls up or inserts with a docking station on it.
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 17:40:44 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Hey Allen...want an invention. Invent a door log, a sign in sheet for anyone that comes over when you're not home...What the heck, we have answer machines for the phone.
Sunday, February 08, 2004 at 17:38:15 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>

 jim  Busy day. Shampood Carpet
 Shampoo'd 1000 square feet of carpet here, hosed down the guest bathroom, hung pictures, installed IIS 5.0 on my XP Home Edition laptop (not supposed to be able too) and installed Active-Perl. I just love to play. It's been quiet here. No phone ringing, no knocks at the door. Becky and I did swing by to see Sharon Sheppard last night (which was very interesting).

Like Mike, my roomie. He's collecting his stuff from around the house, and as usual, he's not paid me rent. What a guy! He hopes he's gonna get this job in CA, and he's gonna tell me another story about how he just forgot the rent money. What are friends for?

And that was a good thing.

 jim  It’s been over a month since Rob Allred shot himse
 He was my best friend up to the end. I hope I never get over those memories we shared. Rob, my Mom, and my stepdad's legacy's to me were the memories we shared. And as long as I'm alive, I'll tell people about them: their good thoughts, their good deeds, their good hearts. I hope more like them will come to exist. THANKS YOU GUYS!

 jim  I hoped some day computers would talk English
Ya know, I always hoped computers would come up with one language to control them, maybe ENGLISH.
I studied Cobol, Basic, and now I'm learning C, Javascript and Perl.
It takes intimate knowledge of 5 languages to write ONE APPLICATION these days.
While computers have pretty much the same instruction set as they did 20 years ago, people have come up with different instruction sets to be compiled into the same computer instructions and it's a frigg'n mess.
It's like, current programming technology was created by a one figured typist that was INSANE! ROTFL!!!
As if anyone reads this anyway..lol
Sorry, I always get silly after a beer.

 jim  Girls and life
Ever notice that people always go all out for what want, but once they have it, it becomes ordinary. All girls give the best head in the beginning. After that, they sit on the couch, watch TV and scatter popcorn everywhere, then they blame the mess on you. LOL.

 jim  Ever try to find a laptop station for you car or t
Another idea...ever try to find a laptop station for you car or truck...$300 to $500. Well, that's insane. All you need is a swivel, like a music stand, that pulls up or inserts with a docking station on it.

 jim  January 2004
Thursday, January 29, 2004 - Opportunity gives you more than two knockers, so grab all you can!!!
I may end up in LA, consulting for W2 wages plus $3,400 a month per diem. That works out to 12.17% in taxes (W/H,Fica,Med). Some locals need work too. Sweet!!!
It's a small world people, so be good. Today Chuck Sheppard, a friend in South Dakota, called. I cosigned for his first car loan, (he's 20 y/o). He's moving in with his brother Tom, who happens to live 4 doors away.
Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - Talked to Emilio Honrubia last night. He sounded surprised that he could click my headings. The mouse doesn't change on form buttons, GoFiGuRE! Ouch!...time to recode.

Eat dirt and die! Ragens Art Gallery Saturday, January 23, 2004 - Talked to an old friend, Sharon Mendenhall. Sharon created the post card to the left...wow! Rob Allred (see bottom) and I knew her back in the 80's when we at URS. Sharon's daughter, Regan, who is 26 years old, is a very phenomenal artist. That's her painting to the right. Check out her ethereal paintings website at ragensart.com. She's HOT!

Friday, January 22, 2004 - Identity theft strikes again!!! Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. I've reordered my Visa Card twice in 4 months. Both times, within two weeks, my number was used for more than $1,000 of purchases on the net. Coincidence, or is someone rubbing a pencil over the envelope to get the raised print off the card, waiting a week or two for the card's activation, then placing orders...hmmm. The address is always to a sleazy motel.
Wednesday, January 21, 2004 - Checked out truck driving. American Institute of Technology said they charge $2,800 for CDL training, and you'll make 24¢ a mile, avg 48mph, drive 60 hours a week, to gross $37,400 a year. Yuck!
Added language translation links to my "SEARCH" page. CLICK the SEARCH heading on the main page to access it. That page is getting pretty cool!
Spent another day of doing favors. Spent 3 hours being a chauffeur. Boned up on 'Javascript for Dummys'.

Sun, January 18, 2004 - I want to thank everyone for their responses to Emails concerning Rob Allred. I sent 32 emails, and received 19 responses. To the Direct Marketeers out there, that's a response rate of 59.375%, and that ain't bad. Thanks again everbody.
Sat, January 17, 2004 - Did favors: Hung closet doors, rehung a trailer door (correctly), hung curtains, hooked up a VCR, installed a shower massager and a kitchen slider, helped replace a door knob, set up PC software for some friends of mine.
Thu, January 15, 2004 - Went to an oldtimers lunch with Dan Crowley, Larry Lewis, Larry Loff, Dale Pickett and Butch Tomasseti.
Shopped for brakes on my 1999 truck. Eight auto shops TRIED TO SCREW ME. Armed with coupons ($77 to $99) for all 4 brakes, the estimates ranged from $160 to $410 for just 2 brakes. I finally lied to the last shop. I showed them an estimate for $280 that included shocks from Midas. THESE GUYS CAN'T READ!!! Ended up paying $250 for brakes and shocks. I felt sorry for the people I heard getting screwed while waiting.
Wed, January 14, 2004 - Did favors: Replaced a circuit breaker. QUESTION: Am I the only one that thinks "The Lord's Prayer" is pathetic? It seems more like "The Corporate Empire's Prayer" to me. I shall not want, uh huh.
January 1 TO 13, 2004 - SEARCHED MY SOUL: Read up on the origin of life, big bang, evolution, man's history on this planet, the Bible's evolution, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Einstein. Developed an excellent time line.
Discovered: The two most written about people in history are: JESUS CHRIST and ADOLF HITLER.
Completed this website, sent emails, did favors.

Tuesday, December 31, 2003 - Rob Allred (10/24/1956 - 12/30/2003) On December 30, 2003, Rob Allred passed away.
Rob was my best friend for 17 years. Please view: My Memorial to Rob, and my thoughts about this very special friend. And please feel free to Email me.
STRANGE THOUGHTS: Why do they call it a "WAKE"? Why is it called a Funeral "Home"? Why do they either cremate us or preserve us? Man, when I die, I want the whole world to just eat me. lol. Be nice everyone. We'll all shine on if we just get along.
