Back a couple of years ago when I was still a slum Lord like GW I was getting complaints from some of my Tennant's that the building was starting to smell funny. With me living in Denver 100 miles away it took me a couple of weeks to get up there and check on things. Long story short....I kicked the guy out, never collected any rent that was due and had to have a plumber snake the drain because it was plugged from the mess he had made. Bathtub was all scratched up and walls needed patching and painting. I was gonna take the guy to small claims court but he hightailed it out of town and hasn't been heard from since.

We had a Psychology Phd and wifemate living in one side of one of our duplexes when we took over and I found them growing in the basement, where he had made wiring changes without consent. They were also six months in arears. Somehow I managed to charm him enough for him to pay up and give their notice a month later.

ing Cool Hey GW ever thought of a thread for your mad scientist projects Im sure all would love it.

I actually do publish the results on Graywolf's lair and will make a point to share the link.

i get 9 or 10 uses out of all of my condoms, i just lay em out to dry for a few days and let the microflora go to work, and BAM!, they're good to go again!

If you just turn them inside out, they are immediately ready to go again.
 
I learned on an older version at OTI and at work, but the first Auto Cad program I purchased myself is my 2002 LT version, which I still use.

I recall my first "IT" class in college (circa 1980)- pre-interwebs.

Used to write code on special grid paper,
Feed grid paper into machine - which punched holes into data input cards,
Feed data input cards into computer.

Yeah - that was pre-floppy disc daze too!!
 
I won't be able to afford bullets.......

It is getting hard to buy bullets -never mind afford them.
Ammo manufacturers stated it will take them 2 years to catch up to meet demand levels.

I am well stocked - but always look for more when out & about.
22LR for hunting squirrels & such - substinence.
223 for yotes, vennison steaks& roasts, and any two-legged individual who intends harm or gun confiscation upon me or mine.
12ga #00 buckshot - for any fool who enters my home without invitation.
12ga #6shot - for crows - who I hunt -and respect much more - than most 2legged critters,
45 -in case the buckshot does not completely shred the A-hole home invader
(I don't think I will have to finish the A-hole home intruder via 45).
because.
#00 Buckshot pattern at < 20 feet is Brutal on the Body - not too bad on walls,water pipes & furnishings.

I remember the days well, and also before that writing programs for programmable calculators and punching them onto magnetic tape. Too many steps to not make key punch errors, so I always made two tapes, in case one was bad, and would run them until the system locked up, then go to program mode to look and see where it locked up to figure out why. I still have a TI Model 59 programmable calculator with thermal printer stored in the attic treasure room.

Hee, hee, hee, when they moved from punch cards to disc, I scored a well made mega drawer metal file cabinet for punch cards, which is perfect in my basement for tools and such. Mementoes of bygone eras..............

42F @88% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 47F

Seven different shootings in Portland yesterday. Must be catching up.

Good progress on my article yesterday and today I'm back to clearing out the storage garage and have a late lunch with a business associate from over the hill and far away.
 
FRYday Movie Recommendation

I headed outside to dispose of paper waste via burn barrel.
I nearly froze my azz off - fingers went numb at 30 seconds exposure.
It is colder than a witch's teat.

Back inside:
in recliner , called out Tubi via voice remote for Movies

up came Kush -
two young drug dealers front a 10pk of Kush to a crackhead, who does not pay the $30,000 tab,
Drug Dealers decide to kidnap crackhead's sister for $30,000 ransom.....

The buds these doooodz had growing in their rooms
would be contender for MP's Bud of the Month Contest.
National Geographic Quality Close Up Pics of Beauty...

Intermission Over - Time to get back to the recliner, resume the flick - and Fire up a freshly cleaned glass bullet loaded with Skunky Bud..

me thinks my azz is parked for awhile...

ohhhh yeeaahhhhh!!!!!
 
Moring shipmates. Three days 'til BEER DAY! My liver is twitching with anticipation.
16 lovely degrees here in my neck of Heaven. One of my favorite eateries is thumbing their nose at the governor and has reopened a week ago. Might just drag my nasty ass to the shower and get me one of Comet's famous Heart Stopper bacon cheese burgers. I've gone in there starving and could only eat half of one. Great onion rings, too.
Yoop, you'd love the place. I rate the taste of their burgers maybe a notch above Tony's.
 
Back from a late lunch/early dinner at the Comet. Burgers were as good or better than I remembered. Quite a few folks, and only two diaper faced people that came in as we were finishing. Told the waitress that we were really glad they'd reopened. She said that most folks were, but a few, especially one, wasn't. She went on to say that the guy had called the restaurant 14 times, cussing them out for being open against orders. They blocked his number. He went as far as to drive up there and yell at anyone going in, telling them that they were breaking the law and that he was writing down license plate numbers to turn in. WhiskyTangoFoxtrot? I told the gal that if he was really that concerned, he should stay home. I'm surprised that no one laid him out. Folks around here are very friendly, but you're crazy if you go out of your way to mess with them.

We have the infamous Killer Burger in these here parts for heat stopping delights.

Some progress on my article, including some Auto Cad to add features and clean up the layout.

I sent the half load of trash from my storage garage to the dump, along with the rest of a load from my tenants. I've recycled three metal scrap loads and sent one load to the building supply recyclers, plus half a load to the dump, and have created enough space to sort through the rest of the treasures and start listing them on Craig's List.

I then took a long hot shower and met a close out of state friend and his sister for lunch to bump elbows and catch up on thangs at McMenimins open air balcony. He is about fifteen years younger than me, but a cancer survivor, who holds each new day precious.
