it's been months since i've done one of these. i'm a zombie these days, not keeping up on tasks,
i've been having adventures. meanwhile, racoons got into the attic and the internet isn't working at home.
i'm at a wendy's right now.
saturday tommy went with me to the grande masquerade, held in november this year. 13 facebook likes for a photo of us there.

today i'm in missouri, at a truck stop waiting for a ride from my mechanics. greyhounded all night. i should have my van back in about an hour.
it's been stuck in missouri for a few weeks, had to be rebuilt after colorado mountains.
then tomorrow i go to cincinnati to try out for a doc review gig.
internet at home is still out due to raccoons but we just cleaned the bedroom enough the techs can get to the attic now.
i got a tentative job offer of $100/mo for something i've been doing as a volunteer, moderating a board for human guinea pigs.
i've been sorting through papers getting my files organized, finding smoking guns, unpaid bills, etc.

so i was at taco bell the other day and i picked up this hot lesbian,
misty dawn jones. she's just been having some trauma, so she needed someone to talk to.
she cleans for a living, has a bonded insured llc and all, so we cleaned my bedroom.
then she mysteriously disappeared, but tommy found her on facebook aand she's ok, just busy.
so it's too soon to say if she'll be back longer than to pick up her hat and glasses.

must.. get out of bed... to be continued.
ok that's a little better. my wallet was stolen, or lost, and neither of my banks would let me get funds.
oh! i should try that xerox of my license.
it was 11 degrees out when i went to the b anks. my bee key broke.

I voicemailed and emailed the insurance guy to see if he wants to settle before I file before the end of the year.
my friend casey is yelling at me merely because he's broke, thinks i owe him money , which i can't get out of the bank right now.
meanwhile he got our two lots listed at $19,000 each, the ones we paid $800 for.
Too soon to say if they will sell, one might, one won't.
maybe i should back up a bit. it's been months since i've made comics.
i was in a brain fog. i still am, but i used to be, too. since about may.
that explains those three trips to colorado. after that i went to 3 or 4 auctions. i keep busy, except when i don't.

It warmed up to 19 today so we got out and ran errands. It's about to get a lot colder.
i made a list, made a downpayment on the electric bill, did dishes and laundry,and we went to the dollar store and cvs.
it turns out i had 4 years, not 2,to settle my insurance claim. we were $3000 apart yesterday and could have settled, but now there is more time.
i sent emails today to casey, the insurance guy, and my ex lindy who lives in kentucky.i found a steam cleaner that works, in the black and yellow color scheme that fits my toolboxes.
maybe next i'll clean the car or basement or send more emails. i want to see if the science salvage place in chicago wants my petri dishes. anyone want petre dishes, bubble flasks, LED light bulbs,
at about 25% of retail, plus shipping?

i got to the bank to pull out cash for awhile, and paid the storage unit bill, and now i'm set to hole up for a week while it's cold.
i got some bad coffee and hush puppies at ljs while i waited. arrr. i should go get my spare tire fixed since i have cash. brr.
i should probably do a year-end report on money and such matters.
earned income 6000, unearned income 15k, gift income 2k. Rents 2K. So 25K in 2017.
so i don't need an ira this round
expenses of 3k, another3K put into inventory, 7,500 in escrow to buy next house. which was supposed to close in early december and hasn't.
so that's 14500ish net, or 11,500 if i can deduct inventory, and i pay roughly zero tax on 11.5k other than fica on the waged part.

23 and rising at noon
i had just done today's comic, about how cold it is, but it didnt save becuse my internet cable keeps falling out. my wifi hasn't worked since the last time the tech went in the atttic.
anyway, now it's sunday morning, a day later. it's all the way up to 20 degrees, with 30 predicted for later today, so maybe my pipes will unfreeze by tonight.
saturday i got outside and made trips to goodwill and dolllar general, and kevin came over and we had a good talk.
he's still on the list of possible suspects re the wallet missing, but we talked about podcasting and tesla and dawn's case, so he has new homework.
i need to plan to get downtown today with kevin for food not bombs. so we can meet with casey and or maurice.
so i should email casey, then make a list for the day. i've had coffee, but i'm still in bed. it's 11:02, so I guess I'm skipping church today.. this year.. whatever.

So today was good. I and my sidekick kevin did a scrap run and made $60, then went to Morty's, bought Bert Kreisher tickets, and picked up job applications.
Yesterday we drove around and looked at houses and vacant lots to buy. The sale is friday.
I stopped by the bank, still have 3 more chores to do. But I'm in bed with 26 tabs open on my $109 walmart computer.
A law review article, my blog, my email, some tesla videos, a bertcast, some stuff about a case i have,
one about podcasting for profit, an ad for a boring flamethrower, my new squarespace store, one about an EKG app that will change medical studies, and a dozen others.

so today is sunday evening, 4 days since my last comic. i do not remember thursday. friday i had adventures, that i have written about elsewhere.
saturday kevin came over, we did our first ever podcast, then some chores.
the weather today was interesting. i was outside for an hour this morning cleaning out the shed. we'll put the stuff in the yard in the shed, sorted better, labeled, inventoried.
by 5 it was snowing. there were 11 things on my did list today. we posted a big to do list on the wall saturday, and it helped motivate me.
we went to food not bombs with spaghetti, coffee, salad, flowers,and the serving pans. then we looked at the annis museum stuff, the mansion, the workshop, the stuff in my attic. later i sent him the
blog. we went and looked at wilgoose forest, a tract of land i bought friday for $800. and we found my keys that were lost for 3 days, next to my bed.

2-04-18
i remembered a few more details about saturday. i still don't remember thursday. that might be the day i lost my keys.
on saturday, i still couln't find my keys, so i go tmy pink bike out of the basement, through the kitchen, out the door, $1 air up the tires, go to the dentist.
the dude said i had time to go for coffee so i stopped into rebel for an americano.
while there i met sue, "sue for you!" she is running for congress against carson. i gave her a pitch to be her election lawyer. madnotee a friend i think.
note to self discuss sign disclaimers with sue
the mexican place across the street is reopen. kevin was grossed out by a dead dog in the dumpster. i told him the joke about the three-legged dog.

 

by arbi
2-04-18
so i went back to the dentist, and they took out the tooth fragments, so now my gums should heal so i can get my dentures.
then i got a haircut at a place i used to go. $15, i guess that's why i don't go there anymore.
the other barber turns out to run a kid's foundation,and we talked about i might loan him my two lots for gardens.
so i have to do some online research to see if he is legit.
then i think kevin came over and we worked, and i fell asleep early instead of going out. it's midnight now. sleep or videos. big ay tomorrow, many plans.

2-05-18

cleaned the van, paid off credit card and redeposited cash from the sale. walked around the new lot. emailed the realtor. bought groceries. killed a mouse.
then i ran out of juice and was in bed by 8 pm.
around midnight, tommy brought in a sreet person. some lady who mostly mumbles, but she seems nice. it's too cold to be out.
i'll try to get her to a sheltter tomorrow. going back to sleep.
tuesday: she was gone when i got up. did dishes. cleaned room. dow back up 556.
