Falll Back 2006

Tue 10 Oct
There was no final last night, although the class exercise was challenging. One of the K-1's has a "self-employment loss", which the basis limited.
When I arrived home, there was the smell of benzene. The builders had placed drywall on the extention. Fortunately, it was cool last night, so I opened windows. In fact, it was 13º this morning, yet I put on an old sweater, and it was borderline.

Fri 13 Oct
I spent much of my day off shopping and nipping at the mess at home. I still have six stormwindows to put down, and it stayed at 13º today. Obviously, there's little reason to delay the closing of the last six.
In the extention, the drywall is up, and the builders did not come. I expect them tomorrow.

Sun 15 Oct
I spend entirely too much time on the internet to do nothing. The builders never showed up the three days. I finally ran a cleaner in the bathroom just to cut down the dust.
I finished cleaning and closing the six stormwindows. The seal on the pipe out of the washtub opened again. I bent the tube straight, which goes into the effluent, but it looks as though it still leaks.
The election looms too closely. Tomorrow the Bensalem Democrats meet, so off we go! The polls continue to look good, even better against Schrub.

Today I had a grueling bout of existential nausea today as I feel so confused that what I want to do is not getting done. I set up the final on Saturday, and I've not looked at the course since Monday.

Tue 17 Oct
Supposedly the United States hit a population of three hundred million today. I do remember when we hit two hundred million thirtynine years ago. On this date in 1967, I went on a class trip to Trenton, and I fondly remember the planetarium. The concept that Saturn has a surface temperature of 235º below zero stands out in my mind.
Meanwhile, the week advances, and I've done nothing with Block, save start the review of the Enrolled Agent. I struggled again with the leak below the washtub. This time I shoved the pipe as far down as possible and then I screwed the nut. Apparently it no longer leaks, but I'll have to keep something under the pipe to keep the trap from sliding down.

Thu 19 Oct
I had to stop for money and Wal Mart, because mny stapler is wearing out. The card for Tim's account no longer works, and I bought underpants and an umbrella there.

Sat 21 Oct
The less written about the inadequacies of the Mets' pitching and hitting, which combined to allow Saint Louis into the World Series, the better. So, instead of 1986 or 1969, it's 1968.
When I came home last evening, the extention was ready for occupancy. It took all day today to get used to the length. I had a busy day today, even though I arose late at 7:30. After we shopped, I went to Block for the test on the K-1's. When I came back, I did three loads of laundry, with the drainpipe out of the washtub no longer leaking. In fact, I think the pipe slid farther into the drainage.
We had water come down the stairwell into the basement. I'd thought leaves blocked the new drains, but it doesn't appear to be the problem.
As a followup towards paying the Comcast bill last week, I paid Mom's health insurance tonight out of her checking account.

Fri 27 Oct
So continues my bad rooting on the baseball playoffs. I surely hope my handicapping the upcoming election day proves better. Saint Louis -- like 1968 -- leads Detroit, 3-1 in the World Series.

Meanwhile, Michael J Fox ran into ignorant opposition when he made several endorsements for candidates favoring "expanding stem-cell research". Rushshsh Limbaughghgh decided to shoot off , stating the Fox was faking the dyskinesia or hadn't taken the dopamine. Subsequently Limbaughghgh never really apologized.

We went to the bank to straighten out the cards and to go to PathMark. However, I may have a problem with inspection, because we lack the proper documentation.
