10/14/2006 12:17:27 sae Lost Wages Weather | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
I'm howling at the rain... I am going to hope for minus 15 degree weather in Lost Wages for the coming week. Hot cocoa? How about Warm Brandys? Sounds better to me. |
10/14/2006 14:20:19 sae (Reply)..Lost Wages Weather | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Good ole Sly Stallone... Oops, I mean Rambo... Well, that is weird to hear that it's almost down to nothing. But like most things, it never lasts for ever. Or even a long time, sometimes. Give your resume a try at Inrigers and Rambo (TSI). Well, visit Finnegans another day soon, when you "know" Frank will be there. And let me know what he has to say, and how he's doing. HOWL!!!

10/10/2006 19:49:41 Jim Tenants arent home | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
So, we'll probably have to go through eviction procedures Thursday if they don't contact us. hmmm...I've been on the road all day since 10am (with exception of 1.5 hours). Sheesh. |
10/10/2006 17:50:24 Jim Some days stink | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
We devoted most of the day to Joy's getting her job. Robert squared up with me, and bought the little laptop too. While at Walmart (for her polo shirt), I bought a xD card for my cell phone. It was bound up so tight, I got the package open, and the xD just seemed to disappear. I had to get another miniSD card for my camera, since it seems to ruin them easily. Also, I checked around for Evap Purge Canister Valve for the Mustang It causes the Check Engine Light (MIL) to come on. It was on the web for $28. Ford Country said they had it for $112. I double checked, and they spaced, they looked up the wrong car, year, everything. It turned out to be $31. I changed it out in 5 minutes. Meanwhile...we still have Amy here, and we need to pick up our rent money, and pick Joy up. This day seemed like a waste. |
10/09/2006 15:37:33 Jim 1997 Mustang: OBD code P1443 fix. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I had a Big O mechanic point at out where the EVAP purge canister was. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1443 indicates a failure in the EVAP canister purge valve circuit. The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Canister Purge (CP) valve controls the flow of vapors from the fuel vapor storage canister to the intake manifold during various engine operating modes. The canister purge valve is located at the LH front of the engine compartment, below the air cleaner assembly. |
10/09/2006 15:37:32 Jim Got the oil changed on the 1997 Mustang. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
Big O charged $49. They rotated the tires too. Nice job! |
10/07/2006 22:55:26 Jim PIcked the kids up.... | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Went all over the Sunrise mountains, in the rocks and up the hills. Most of the way up the mountain, I pulled over to get out to enjoy the view. Dustin was going to hang in the car, toying with his gameboy. At that time, I told him it would be fine with everyone if hung out of at Roberts. He said he was shutting the game down. We went to a new Sunrise Park. Great View! Played around the raging Las Vegas Wash. I tested the 97 Mustang on the rocks for skidding and the emergency breaks. Becky went nuts! She kept freaking out! I told her, if she couldn't handle a skid, she should never drive a car. And the only way to know a car is by practicing in it. The back tires are light, so traction is bad. Went down the Strip. We toured the Forum Shops and saw all the shows. At one point, Dustin, trying to get attention, pushed me and I pulled him, so he fell, thus causing a scene. I told him, don't push, poke or hit people. Treat people right or expect to get hurt. Finally we, go back home at 11pm. Jennifer says she lost her overnight bag when we got home. If it weren't for all of the bickering, it would have been fun. The capper was the last few minutes driving. I was stopped a left hand turn light. Becky made a noise. I thought she said GO, that the light had changed. I said Becky! She said she didn't say anything, then Jennifer jumped right in to say Becky didn't say anything. I said, Becky did said something, I know what I heard, you can't tell me otherwise. That was very annoying. I'm tired. |

10/04/2006 23:29:27 Sonny P1443 - OBDII Scan Code | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
OK now I have a P1443 code and my book only goes up to P0999 or somthing like that. does anyone know what the heck P1443 is???? STUPID Pocket Scanner!
It's an evaporative emissions dtc. To cure it, replace the canister purge valve and the flow sensor next to it. It should be located near the rear of the engine compartment on the pass side ona Mustang. ----- One log says that the gas cap being lose (not screwed on tight) is the most common cause for this Check Engine light. ----- The purge flow sensor is being tripped. Could be the sensor or purge control valve, but the first place I would check is the gas cap seal. Other possibilities: EVAP system lines/hoses (check for proper connections, damage or blockage) Loose fuel vapor hose/tube connections to the EVAP system components. The vacuum line from the input vacuum port to the intake manifold on the EVAP canister purge valve (the control vacuum solenoid part of the valve) is removed. Blocked vacuum hose between the EVAP canister purge valve solenoid and the engine intake manifold. Damaged fuel tank or fuel filler pipe. |
10/03/2006 13:40:16 warren ..Grime and Punishment gives you a Headache in the | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
sweet, thank you for the kudz! I edited it shortly after , removing some reduncity, replaced the heading. The link in 'recent logs' still loads the former, perhaps some db field needs to be bumped. Totally dig immersing myself in your musings, thoughts and stories as well. You possess a well balanced pleasant and relevant sense for language, and dispense it naturally, interestingly and most often it is rooted in some love or another for what is good in the world. I guess that means life. ciao bebbe |

10/01/2006 22:06:01 Jim Is life a dream within a dream? | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
What would be worse, tommorrow being a failure or tommorrow never coming at all. Two months ago I almost died. Last month my father died. I have no career, just dreams of a future. Dad's tour of life is over. We're all just a few heart beats away from the end so what difference does anything make anyway? For all we know, this life is a dream and when we die, we wake up. That's what I prefer to think. That thought allows me think anything we dream of is possible, even life itself. |
09/30/2006 10:47:34 SAE .I bought a OBD II software set yesterday | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Jimmy went to FLY'S Electronics... Lucky guy... So did you also get a new pocket knife? Hee Hee.... |
09/30/2006 09:46:51 becky .Last night, I caught Dustin playing a bloody game | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
When I got my first dictionary, the first word I looked up was "sex"... Does that me a dirty minded little doggy? |
09/29/2006 17:40:40 Jim I am sitting, listening to Phil Collins music | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
His music takes me back to the girl I loved so much back in the early 80's. Thinking about the my past month, the past year, my life... I'll always love that girl (Lisa Hupe Cutlar), but, now she's just a memory of some very good times. Its hard to imagine that any of those times actually happened. All I have is pictures. They say a goldfish, once it swims around the tank, doesn't have enough memory to remember it had been there before. So, to the goldfish, the circle around the tank must seem like an infinite trip. Memories of loves gone by, Lisa, Annette, Beth, Ruth......and so on and so on... If I just had the memory of a goldfish, each one of them would be a lost memory. As long as I meant "I Love You" to whoever I said that too, that's what my memory holds, that I said I love you to someone. But no matter how I meant it, I'm forgotten to them, just like the goldfish forgets swimming around a fish tank. I can still hear my dads voice on the cell phone the last day of August. It flows from my heart, those memories. They make me confused, I'm not sure whether to cry or to celebrate his evolving to whatever comes next. But as each year passes, another person dies that I'll think about everyday of my life. What will come of all of this? What I see, is god everywhere, taking all forms in all things. I've seen his good sides. God is everywhere. Those good times, they did happen, but nothing we did will probably ever make a difference. Memories are for us to love or hate. I love mine. It'll be hard when I leave this world. I've got great memories! I wish love could last forever and I wish I could be a part of everything in love. Today, was another good day for me. How was yours? |
09/28/2006 12:12:49 Jim Good Night Dad | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
---These words were written by my mom on her dad's passing--- These words and message wil live in my heart forever. Thank you, Dear God, for my father and for theses words he never failed to speak each night to me. "I love you with all of my heart I want us to live togther for the good of each other. And to work together in peace. And when I get too old to take care of myself, I want you and James Alfred (his son) to take care of me" Dad would smile, always a sweet smile. And he said "I hate to let you go" (holding my hand). And he let go, and smiled again, and left. |
09/27/2006 14:14:47 sae Howl... | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Jimmy..
Does this mean I can now set my autodailer to call Robert's Cell Phone three times an hour for all eternity?
Glad you are finally ready to get that Notary business off the ground. HOWL..... But I still think it should be called "Squirty's Notary".
It'll be much better driving all around town in that Mustard Car. Is it red like in the picture?
Well, I pick up the keys for the new apartment tomorrow. Have to turn in the keys on the existing one on Saturday. They are charging me $425 to fix a spot where the paint was scraped off the wall in what was your bedroom, by the bathroom door.
The new apartment is on the second floor over in the building across the way, where that "Sheila" (british term for "woman") saw you playing nudy...
Mr. Short is coming over Saturday morning to help me move. Between tomorrow evening and Saturday morning when the big pieces are being moved, I am making what will probably be a dozen or so trips with smaller items.

Businesses (apartment companies in particular) are full of those tiny little scams. |
09/24/2006 16:53:46 Jim In His Living years | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
Every generation, blames the one that came before. And all of those frustrations, come beating on your door. I know that I'm a prisoner, to what my father held so dear. I know that I'm a hostage, to all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him, in his living years Crumpled bits of paper, filled with imperfect thought. Stilted conversations, Im afraid thats all we've got. You say you just dont see it, he says its perfect sense. You just cant get agreement in this present tense We all talk a different language, we all talk in defense Say it loud, say it clear. You can listen as well as you hear. Its too late when we die, to admit we dont see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel, between the present and the past. We only sacrifice the future, its the bitterness that lasts So dont yield to the fortunes, you sometimes see as fate. It may have a new perspective, on a different day And if you dont give up, and dont give in...You may just be o.k. Say it loud, say it clear. You can listen as well as you hear. Its too late when we die, to admit we dont see eye to eye I wasn't there that morning, When my father passed away I didnt get to tell him, all the things I had to say. I think I caught his spirit, later that same year Im sure I heard his echo in my babys new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear. You can listen as well as you hear. Its too late when we die, to admit we dont see eye to eye -- In memory to my late father Louis "Lou" Cutlar --- |
09/24/2006 07:25:34 Jim Its been almost a month since Dad passed away | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
I was getting used to him calling around twice a week. And on the trip to and from Florida, we seemed to be talking most of the way on my cell phone. Its sad to lose someone. When someone who you grew up with dies, you realize you are the keeper of those shared memories. Its bizarre how the mind behaves as the memories we have become more pronounced when they are fading away. The most profound thought I had about dad's life was that house he built in rural Kentucky. It had a colonial style to it, and it was the only one like it there when he built it in the 1970's. When I went back in 2005, the whole neighborhood matched his design. There was at least a square mile of simular styled houses. Dad had told me he didn't feel like he'd really accomplished anything in his life. Isn't it odd, that his, just building another house, could have had such a far reaching affect? |
09/23/2006 21:31:05 Jim Robert wanted to take me to the races | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
But instead, Jennifer, Joy, Amy, and Dustin hung out...Robert went with someone else. It was a fun day! |

09/21/2006 12:14:47 Jim Feeling glum | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
I guess thats a good word for it. I used to talk to my Dad maybe twice a week. Now he's gone. I suppose depression would be a good description for the way I feel. I just want to sleep all the time. I've lost all motivation. Help! |
09/15/2006 15:20:18 Guest .Weve been back for 3 days now | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
I know, Im in guest mode. and hey. its been too long since Ive been in touch with you but you can check it the same. Id like to posit it baby, that I have too searched for Linda. Ive printed out cd data bases of phone numbers of every Cutlar I could muster coast to coast (about 200 numbers if I remember correctly) and cold called dozens of answering machines. And yes, I left messages, like a kid on his first date surprised she didn't pick up. (Now Ive got No Reply in my head, thats nice.) Anyhoo. Im bicycling across the you s from Bellingham to Nashville to see Doug I guess. After all these years He decided to up and fly there to see some friends of ours. I passed through Twin Falls and oddly enough worked for a guy landscaping and his wife was strikingly similar looking to Linda, so much so I brought up the twilight zone prospect of her being her , and it went down pretty damn wierd. We smoked hella weed too and which she did not cotton for one bit which was where either her alias was dead on underground and locked in tight or she just was not Linda. So , theres that. Freaks me out though that you had an address for her in Twin Falls. Every year or less I google her name to the point of diminishing return and give up , and then later when Im doing something totally different I muse, "Hey man, fuck it. Just let it go. This is a fantasy that is at odds with how I should really feel about someone who has made such a point to distance herself from her kin." And then , I am very nonplussed and just have this even more blank place in myself about. It. Hope all is so groovy you could be banned from amsterdam Jim. Peace -Warren |
