My Dailies 2010
This is my daily journal like page where back in September of 2006 I decided to start writing down my thoughts
for every day in my web site here.
Also, there is a place called: “My Dirty Dailies”,.. for those days when I might use a little bad language. The button
to get in is sitting in this black area in the bottom right corner,.. and it requires a password to get in.
Here is a more convenient way to get over to my Video Archives page - My Videos ...

Friday, April 30, 2010
Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California where I re-installed toilets and got started on installing a
ceiling fan. No body told me there was going to be different style toilets in each bath room,.. so I just installed them
one at a time as if they were identical. Found out on my own as I unboxed the second toilet. I had the wrong toilet in
each bathroom and the upper tanks on the wrong toilets.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails and played games, met people and sent gifts back
& forth in facebook.
And that's about it for my Friday.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California for a little while. I installed a new mirror in the bath room
and worked on the plumbing some more.
Then I came home early and cleaned up my tools and buckets, did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,. played
games, met people, wrote notes and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. made a call to the DMV to find out why they
cashed my check, but never sent me my tags for my new van,.. and had myself a bowl of my home made chili for my
dinner.
My DMV renewal tags are supposed to be on their way... See, I sent my renewal in for my old van a Month later and
already received it's tags, and now it's going on 2 Month's and I still haven't received the tags for my new van... I
renewed my old van online,.. but sent them a check for my new van. They told me today that online renewals are
much faster then going through the mail.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

cabinet and installed the new toilet.

I was thinking today on my drive home from work that,... I think that song "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" could make
a funny duet song... I imagined myself singing it along with Cher.... I don't think she's that kind of girl,.. but she's an
actress, so she could pull it off.
And that's about it for my Wednesday.

And then I went and took that wireless device back and got my money back and bought a different one to try out.
After reviewing my last video,.. Keep Your Hands To Yourself,... it sounds like I could of sang it better,... but it's
always cool for me when I can show a little personality and look OK while doing so... When I do that,.. I see sides of
myself I've never ever seen before... And then of course when I catch myself not looking so good while doing so,... I
see sides of myself that I don't really care to see.
That's about it for my Monday.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California again mostly painting the last room that I have to paint
there. It's like an office room upstairs.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and cooked
myself a Pinto bean & cheese burrito and some real potato french fries for my dinner.
They were talking about razors for shaving today on the radio. And I think it was every one of them said that they
prefer a razor blade shave over an electric razor...
I like a razor blade shave too,... but I've found that I can like an electric razor now days also. It was like my face had
to get use to using one at first,... but once I got use to it,.. they can shave quite well. I think an electric razor actually
gives me a "closer than a blade shave" on my upper lip area only.... It's because I don't like shaving that area in an
upward motion with a razor blade.
I don't find the electric razor to be faster at shaving than a blade like the guys were thinking today. It seems slower to
me because I've gotta go over each area 10 to 15 times to get a close shave... But it is convenient to just grab the
razor, click the button and start shaving.
That's about it for my Wednesday.

I've been noticing for some time now,... how I don't see many of those bird and fish religious symbols on the back of
cars anymore.... Just the other day I saw a new one though... It looked like a big fish eating a little fish. The little
fishes head was in the big fishes mouth.... And it said "Truth" on the big fish. I couldn't quite make out what it said on
the little fish.
Hmmm.... Today I worked on my job in Coto De Caza, California preparing and priming cabinets.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California painting ceilings and walls.
My Toyota ran very hot today on my drive home,... I actually got off the freeway early to try and keep it from
verheating... And it worked but stayed real hot until I got home.
So when I got home I decided to try just taking the thermostat out of it and running it without one to see if that
helps.... I took it out for a test drive this evening and it appears to be running cooler so far...
Also today I read my emails,.. did my daily work notes,.. cleaned my brushes and tools,.. played games and wrote
notes in facebook,... and cooked myself a very filling Ranch bean & cheese burrito and French fries for my dinner....
And I also went over to Staples store and faxed some more paperwork to an Insurance company,... and that's about it
for my Wednesday.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California mostly on plumbing type stuff.
Then on my drive home I stopped by the Automotive paint store and picked up some paint for my new van,... and I
stopped by the Mechanics shop that worked on my Toyota to talk to them about it's overheating problem.
And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in
facebook,... and cooked myself a Pinto bean & cheese burrito and some real potato french fries for my dinner.
And that's pretty much it for my Monday.
Today I started out my day over at a junk yard. Went and found a few parts for my Toyota Truck....
Got a heater control valve and a couple little clips for holding the rod that holds the hood up in place when the hood is
down... I found a little plastic clip like the one that I have and also a metal one off of an older year Toyota.
When I got home I installed the heater control valve and found that I was able to install the metal clip for holding my
hood hold up rod in place.... Now I shouldn't have to ever replace that clip again. Those plastic clips get brittle over
time and break... Most of the one's I found at the junk yard were broken just like mine was.
Also today I did one load of laundry,.. cut some tiles for my job in Coto De Caza,.. worked on getting my push style
lawn mower running... Looks like it's got a problem in the carburetor. It's continuously flooding the head with
gasonline.
And I worked on doing some body work on my new van,.. played games, wrote notes and sent gifts back & forth in
facebook,... and cooked myself a Pinto bean & cheese burrito and some real potato french fries for my dinner.
And that's about it for my Saturday.
Today I worked on my job out in Coto De Caza, California installing new interior lights mostly.
Then on my drive home I had to stop at the paint store and pick up some more paint for the job,.. and I stopped by
my bank and made a deposit too.

Looks like I made a mistake and deleted this day. Must of happened on April 6th when I wrote out my daily I forgot to
copy and paste a new section and just used this day as my daily.
From what I remember,.. on this day I went out to Redlands, California and picked up pay for a job,... and I had to
pick up a bathroom vanity for my Coto De Caza job.
And I worked on getting Insurance on my new Van again,... read my emails,.. did my daily work notes and played
games and stuff in facebook.
And I think that was pretty much it for this day.

Man,... Easter sure seemed to come quick this year. I didn't even know that it was close to Easter time until people
starting saying "Happy Easter" on Saturday in facebook.
My Sunday was mostly spent making salsa... I tried out this new way of skinning my jalapenos today that I learned
from a cook in an online video... He showed how you bake them until they're ready then put them in a sealed plastic
bag which helps to steam the skins off the jalapenos.
It didn't work very well for me. But I think the problem today was that I didn't get them cooked properly. Like I need
to cook them on higher heat... Mine cooked slow and turned out very wrinkled making it hard to skin them.
Then for the rest of the day I read my emails,.. made some calls about work,.. and played games, chatted and sent
gifts back & forth in facebook.
And I think that's about it for my Sunday.

It's been a busy Saturday at home today... It may not look like it when I write down what I've done,... but it's kept
me busy all day.

and skinned my tomatoes for making my home made salsa...
And I went and got a new wireless adapter for my Mother's computer and installed it for her.... And did some online
banking and paid my bills,.. and sent off my quarterly tax payments...
And I cooked myself a Ranch bean and cheese burrito and some real potato french fries for my dinner,... and played
games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook.... Oh,... and I had to go down to my Tax preparers office and get some
paper work so that I could send off my payments,... and I stopped by Harbor Freight Tools and picked up some Star
Wrench sockets for my new van.
And I think that's about it for my Saturday.

games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,... went grocery shopping,.. and started preparing some cilantro

I've got a friend that likes my home made salsa a lot and it's her birthday...

Not everybody that has tried my salsa has liked it a lot though.... It's too hot and spicey for some.
