It has already been a long journey working on the house We have accomplished so much this week. Unfortunately, finish my thesis was not one of the things, which leaves me with this weekend. Also the weekend I have to move during.

Here I am cleaning the chamber under the stairs. The furnace cleaners wanted to charge me $400 to clean that chamber but luckily I fit in the vent so I went down there myself and lceaned it.

I tore up the bathroom floor which was tacky lineloeum that was molding underneath. It was super moldy and disgusting. Thank god I tore it up before it got worse.

If anyone wants to see it stop by tonight.

Two floors worth of stuff is on the street. There wee garbage pickers on it like ants on sugar. You can't even imagine.

There were more computer parts than at computers for children.

0806/BigOldComputerTrash2838.jpg

tHAT'S TONY'S HAND. People were all over that even if they were from 1989. There is still one whole room of computer crap and lots of other junk around but at last it seems like we can finally start cleaning more and moving in.

unfortunately, I already know when I will be back again.

Traveler: Visco, Paul    
Departure Date/Time: 10/30/2006    
Return Date/Time: 11/5/2006    
Destination: San Jose, CA, United States    

On the home front, all the previous owners trash and unwanted stuff is out on the front lawn. If you are into garbage picking you might want to swing by. Although, knowing the garabage pickers in our hood, it will be gone very soon.

Believe it or not, although we are scheduled to move in today the seller hasn't called. We called him. He dallies and delays and adds hours the same way he added day, weeks and months to this overly ridiculous transaction.

In the mean time I decided to clean out some of the pics I meant to post from my phone over the week.

This dude was not handicapped but a buff 30ish y/o who felt that he could bloc the wheelchair access point with his lexus when he went to get icecream at Andersons on Deleware.

There is some new newsletter around town called the downtowner. It seems very beta. The graphic layout person hasb't learned the difference between cropping and scaling images. I arggrivates the hell out of me when picture are unproportionally scaled to fit a certain size. Look how skinny and tall it makes the church tower and buildings look.
0806/downtowner3851.jpg

0806/downtowner23851.jpg

I don't know what the hell this is or who took the pic, I just found it on my cam. Maybe I pressed the capture button by accident.

The estrip.org bumper is still on the narding sign. It was the only non-aluminum sign in town. Must be old.

The PPC 6700 is 299 at compusa and the sprint store.
