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 ... AUGUST Monday, August 16, 2010 Today I was home waiting for a phone call so that I can start a new job. So today I went shopping over at Smart & Final, Rite-Aid and Stater Brothers,.. and I came home and worked on re-designing my work web site all day. But I did manage to read my emails and play games and send gifts back & forth in facebook too. And that’s about it for my Monday. click here to go back to the top of this page Sunday, August 15, 2010 Today was another day of chores and stuff. So today I finished 2 loads of laundry. And I watered all my trees and plants around my yard. And I cleaned my paint brush and tools from work on Friday and cleaned up the back of my work Van a little bit. Also today I did some online banking and paid my bills. Made a call about work for next week. Re-sewed my suspenders so they’re not scraping on my back anymore. Read my emails and played games, chatted and sent gifts back & forth in facebook... And I baked some chocolate chip cookies and brought them over to my Patents house to try them out. And that’s about it for my Sunday. click here to go back to the top of this page Saturday, August 14, 2010 Today was a busy Saturday. I started out my day having to meet a friend at my house to pick up our Water Blaster. And then I had to go back to the tire shop that installed my tires on my new van and have them check out why it's brakes are now pulsating. And I had to make up a bill for a job then drive to Redlands, California and get paid. After that I ran by the Bank and made a deposit. Then I came home and removed those leather like things off of the back of my suspenders because they were jabbing in the back every time I sat down somewhere. I had to sew them back together after removing those and now there's something sharp scraping on my back. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to fix that one. Also today I cooked up a batch of food for the cats,.. did my accounting and daily work notes,.. went grocery shopping,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. Oh,.. and I finished building my neighbors bicycle for her and have got a load of laundry in the dryer now too that I'm going to put off folding until tomorrow. And that's about it for my Saturday. click here to go back to the top of this page Tuesday, August 17, 2010 That little thumbnail photo in the lower right corner of my daily for today is a clickable image that enables a larger view of the photo. Today I finished building my keyboard tray and installed it. It use to be a plastic keyboard tray with a slide out drawer for the mouse that I got over at Staples... After I got this new wood keyboard shelf installed I thought,.. “man,.. if I knew it was going to be this nice I would of built it a long time ago”. I’m really happy with it. Also today I learned how to make clickable images that enlarge for websites,.. and I worked on rebuilding this page... By the way,.. the Month Links up above on this page are not working right now,.. I haven’t had time to re-write my previous Months out yet. Then also today I read my emails and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And that’s about it for my Tuesday. click here to go back to the top of this page click for larger view Friday, August 13, 2010 Today I worked on my newest job out in Redlands, California again.

Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. did some research on some new softwares,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. I got me a pair of Suspenders today. I’m down to a 26.5 inch waist and none of my pants and shorts are fitting anymore... The new suspenders were quite nice except for the way they rubbed on my shoulders. Tomorrow I’m going to wear a shirt under them. click here to go back to the top of this page Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Today I started a new job out in Redlands, California where I’m painting a bath room and probably going to remove the wallpaper and paint the dining room also. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook and cleaned my brushes and buckets that I used today. And that’s about it for my Wednesday. click here to go back to the top of this page Tuesday, August 10, 2010 Today I was home again for the day. And today I worked on a neighbor's bicycle,.. and had to run to Lowe's for some nuts and bolts,.. and I built a new shelf for my keyboard to sit on,.. and loaded my Van for work tomorrow. And I watered all the plants and trees around my yard and tied them up where they need it,.. read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And that's about it for my Tuesday. click here to go back to the top of this page Monday, August 9, 2010 Today I was home for the day again. And today I worked on a neighbors bicycle,.. and built some more little shelves for my office to lift the new LCD screens up higher to where they match my middle screens height. And I started learning how to use Google Sketch Up software,.. read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And I think that’s about it for my Monday. click here to go back to the top of this page Sunday, August 8, 2010 Today was a home chore day. So today I did one load of laundry,.. cleaned and vacuumed my office,.. watered all my trees and plants around my yard,.. and built a little shelf to lift my Printers up higher on my desk so that I can put paper work under them. Also today I ran back ups of my computer files,.. updated my web sites,.. made some calls about work,.. did some paper work (in my computer though),.. learned some more about this Anime Animation software,.. read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And that’s about it for my Sunday. click here to go back to the top of this page Saturday, August 7, 2010 Today was a day where it really don’t seem like I’ve done a whole lot. Let me see here,... I did one load of laundry,.. went grocery shopping,.. made some calls about work,.. put some time into learning how to use this Anime Animation software that I’m trying out,.. read and wrote some emails,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,... and baked some more cookies. This time I baked Peanut Butter Cookies and put some peanut butter and chocolate chips in them.... They taste real good. For me they come across more like,.. “when I’m in a mood for peanut butter,... these will be real good”. And that's about it for my Saturday. click here to go back to the top of this page This web site is the property of Rick Allen Harrington, Riverside, California.                                                  Rixco@aol.com Friday, August 6, 2010 Today I went and had some new rear tires put on one side of my new work van. The driver side rear tires look like they'll last a while longer before I change them. And I had to go out to Redlands, California and look at a new job. And I made some calls about work,.. read and wrote some emails,... played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and finished the estimate for the job I looked at today. Oh,.. and I tested 3 different Anti Virus softwares too. I tried out Panda Free,.. AVG Free,.. and Avast Free editions. I like Avast best. Would of liked AVG but my windows explorer acted like it had a hard time functioning while they were running. And that's about it for my Friday. click here to go back to the top of this page Thursday, August 5, 2010 Today I finally got the call I've been waiting for about work... So tomorrow I've gotta go look at a new job. Also today I helped my Mother set up an itunes account on her new ipad,.. watered all the plants and trees around my yard,.. made a call and set up my new replacement Visa Card,... then had to make sure all the companies that send me Monthly bills to the old card have the new card number. And I wrote and read my emails,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and watched a bunch of video tutorials on this Animation Software that I just downloaded a trial for. Man those chocolate chip cookies I made last night taste like some of the best cookies I've ever tasted. Made me think that one of the keys to great cookies is just eating them when they're very fresh. Like say,.. an hour after they come out of the oven. And that's about it for my Thursday. click here to go back to the top of this page Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Today I just kind of took it easy most the day.... It was give my Mother her new ipad gift day. So I ended up going over to my Parents house and showing her a bunch of things about her new ipad. Also today I made some calls about work,.. read and wrote some emails,.. tried out some new software for me,.. went by the local tire shop and ordered some new rear tires for my new work van,.. and played games, chatted and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies this evening... I haven't tasted them,.. but they look like they turned out good... I don't even remember the last time I baked cookies. Seems like it may of been back when I first moved out of my parents house and rented my own house,... back when I was 18 years old. And that's about it for my Wednesday. click here to go back to the top of this page Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Today I was home for the day. And today I worked on an estimate for a while,.. and I went over to Office Depot and got me a couple file boxes,.. and I cooked up a batch of food for the cats. Then also today I made some Apple Juice and some Orange Juice with my new Jack La Lanne's Juicer. They both tasted good. The Orange juice tasted a lot like the Orange juice that I buy at the grocery store. Then my Mother's ipad came in the mail,... so I spent a bunch of time setting it up with book accounts and apps from the itunes store and then gift wrapped it. We're not going to give it to her until tomorrow morning. And I read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. Man,.. that ipad is pretty neat. I like a lot of Apple's designs. The keyboard I got for it is like the nicest looking little keyboard I've ever seen. And the way they packaged everything... It's like they're proud of the craftsmenship. Very nice craftsmenship... I could see getting one of those ipads myself,.. but I'm not sure what I'd use it for. And that's about it for my Tuesday. click here to go back to the top of this page Monday, August 2, 2010 Today I went out and finished the job that I've been working on out in Redlands, California. So now I'm waiting for a call and in-between jobs for a couple days. Also today I had to drop off my sample board that I painted and pick up some plans for a new cabinet job,.. then I stopped by the bank on the way home and made a deposit. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. did some online banking and paid my bills,.. read my emails,.. cleaned my paint rollers and buckets,.. played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and tied off some of the trees and vines around my yard so that they grow straighter and for the vines,.. along a certain path. And I think that's about it for my Monday. click here to go back to the top of this page Sunday, August 1, 2010 Today I was home for the day doing chores and things again. And today I did one load of laundry,.. ran back ups of my computer files,.. put oil in my new work Van and tightened the fan belts adjustment. And I watered all the plants and trees around my yard,.. went shopping for Ice Tea Pitchers,.. tryed out my new Jack La Lanne's Power Juicer,.. read my emails,.. and played games, wrote notes and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. Ice Tea Pitchers seem hard to come by these days... I went to 3 different stores,.. checked online,.. then finally found something over at Rite-Aid store that will do... See,.. these Pitchers I've been using for Ice Tea are so hard to clean that you need a special tool in order to clean them. They've got that open handle design where ice tea is in the handle too... I was going to purchase some special cleaning tools for them but opted to just get pitchers that are easier to clean. Man this Jack La Lanne's Deluxe Power Juicer that I just got with my reward points from my Visa Card is really cool... Well built machine too... So far I made and tasted Cantaloupe Juice,... and a Lettuce & Apple drink. Both of them were good,.. though I preferred them both with a little sugar... Worth making again. I've always been a sweet drink kind of a guy. Even when I drink Coffee I like it as sweet as a Soda Pop.... And when I make a glass of Nestles Quick Chocolate Milk,... I prefer it with about double the recommended spoonfulls... I don't usually like their already made Chocolate Milks that you can buy at the conveniece stores. They don't put enough flavor in them. And that's about it for my Sunday. click here to go back to the top of this page This web site is the property of Rick Allen Harrington, Riverside, California Rixco@aol.com Wednesday, August 18, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I’ve been home all day again. I’m waiting on a call from the tenant of the home that I’m going to be working on,.. and I don’t want to schedule a new job if he is going to be calling me over soon. So what I did today was mostly work on my web site here. I’ve got the rest of my Months for 2010 to finish making the new style pages for. I did get July and June working though. And the May button is working,.. but I haven’t re- written all the entries for that Month yet. Also today I called my Brother because it’s his birthday,.. and I watered all the trees and plants around my yard,.. and I read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. And that’s about it for my Wednesday. Thursday, August 19, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I just worked on my web site here all day long. And other than that,.. I read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars, wrote notes and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and watched Snoop Dog blow up the Mafia Wars Truck,.. and I cooked a batch of food for the cats. And that’s about it for my Thursday. Friday, August 20, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I was home for the day again.

I did do 2 loads of laundry and vacuumed the house and office and mopped the kitchen floor today though. And made a call about work for Monday. Mostly what I did today though was just kind of diddled with things on my computers. I researched products,.. and tested a defrag software and a hard drive monitor software,.. and read my emails and played Mafia Wars,.. got paid in YoVille and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. Oh,.. and I pulled a bunch of palm trees that are popping up in my side flower bed out. And that’s about it for my Saturday. Sunday, August 22, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today was kind of a typical Sunday for me I suppose. Except for I did my laundry yesterday,.. so I didn’t have any laundry to do today. And what I did for today was,.. I started out this morning trying out different hard drive monitoring softwares on my computer.... Didn’t like any of them,.. so I uninstalled them all. Also today I cleaned my vacuum cleaner out real well by blowing out all the filters and compartments and hoses,.. and I watered all the trees and plants around my yard,... read my emails,.. played Mafia Wars, got paid in YoVille and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,... and worked on building my new work web site. And that’s pretty much it for my Sunday. Monday, August 23, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went out to work on the last job I was on where I painted the bath room. Now I’m removing wallpaper from the dining room and going to paint it. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. worked on my new work web site a little bit,.. and played Mafia Wars, got paid in YoVille and sent gifts back & forth in facebook. I’m gonna change my movie star name to Rack Cornelius Wild instead of Xac Cornelius Wild. Rack is closer to my real name,.. and Xac is like I’m choosing a new first name. And that’s about it for my Monday. Tuesday, August 24, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went out to work on the last job I was on where I painted the bath room again where I removed all the wallpaper and cleaned and patched the walls in the dining room.

I went and gave myself a constant job here when I went and planted all those trees and plants. I just tried out this new to me email software called Zimbra Desktop... And I’m liking it so far. But 2 new softwares that I recently got are really impressing me. One of them is Avast! Antivirus,.. and the other one is Xara Web Designer 6. And that’s about it for my Tuesday. Wednesday, August 25, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went out to work on the last job I was on where I painted the bath room again where I sanded all my patch work and caulked all the woodwork into the walls.

And I made up an Invoice for a job,.. worked on my new work web site,.. read my emails,.. played Mafia Wars, got paid in YoVille and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and I checked out the rear brakes on my new Van. Ever since I got new tires on the rear of my new Van the brakes have been acting like they’ve got a problem. I just found out today that the brakes adjustment was tightened up so tight that I couldn’t even move the wheel. So I re- adjusted them to where the wheel is movable and took it out for a test drive. The pedal is still pulsating a little,.. so maybe the brakes burned themselves out of round. I don’t know. But I think I’ll double check them tomorrow just incase they may have a self adjuster that might of tightened them back up. And that’s about it for my Saturday. Sunday, August 29, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today was like a Sunday full of chores to do. Sometimes the weekends seem like work days.

Monday, August 30, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I started a new job out in Redlands, California where they have a bunch of work for me.
