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 ...

Sunday, January 31, 2010
Today I was home for the day.
I did one load of laundry,... and ran back ups of my computer files.
And I mowed the lawn and weed eated around my yard,... went shopping over at Petco,... and read my emails,.. and
played games, chatted,. sent gifts back & forth and met people in facebook.
And I cooked myself a Burrito Supreme for my dinner.
And that's pretty much it for my Sunday.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza, California where I applied an epoxy finish along with paint flakes to
the garage floor and I removed the toilet from the hall bath.

games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.. and cooked myself a Burrito Supreme for my dinner.
And then a friend came over this evening and picked up his Tablet PC... Pretty cool that I was able to fix that one. I
think I probably could of fixed this other one that I had here too if I would of been able to get it a new motherboard.
And that's about it for my Friday.

Today I stayed home from work because I had an appointment to have my taxes done.... Took me 2 trips down to
their office to get them done though. The first trip down there I forgot to print out my sheet with all my totals for the
year on it.
Also today I had to return an item over at Lowe's that I didn't need on a job,... and I fixed this laptop tablet PC of my
friends. He finally found his operating system discs and they installed on the new hard drive just fine.
And I cooked myself a fresh batch of Pinto Beans so they'll be ready for my dinner tomorrow night,... and cooked up
some eggs and phony chicken for Sandy the dog and Jazzy the cat's dinner.
And that's pretty much it for my Thursday,... . Oh,... and I read my emails,.. and played games in facebook.

Today I had to go out to Redlands, California to meet with a decorator, and I had a new job to look at out there too.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. played games, met people and sent gifts back &
forth in facebook,.. and worked on my friend's laptop computer...
Actually, it's my old tablet PC that I sold him. And it looks like a new hard drive and new operating system will fix this
computer. He lost his windows operating system disc,... so he's gonna have to get a new one... I just installed my
Windows Vista Ultimate on the new hard drive as a test,... and it appears to work fine.
And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza California removing unwanted lights, rewiring some lights in the
garage, caulking around the base of the garage floor, installing new sprinkler heads and fixing a leak.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. and played games and sent gifts back & forth in
facebook.
And then I noticed that it just may be this new Drive Clone Pro software that is the reason that my computer keeps
freezing up,... so I uninstalled it.... It was a hard software to remove. I first tried using a restore point before I
installed the software,... and that didn't work. And then when I uninstalled it and it went to reboot,... my computer
wouldn't go any further than the splash screen...
It would stop at the splash screen and not go into Windows at all... I thought I may have to reinstall Windows
completely and start all over. But I got lucky and turned the computer off. Then when I turned it back on,.. it came
on and started up fine. Something about using the reset button wouldn't let it go any further than the splash screen.
And now my computer seems like it may be running better. It logged on faster than it has been. And,.. all those freeze
ups that I've been having started around the same time I installed that Drive Clone software. So just maybe it was the
problem.
And that's pretty much it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza California still working on getting the garage prepared for painting.
On my drive home from work today on the 241 toll road highway,... I think I drove through the worst storm I've ever
driven in. It was very windy, raining hard and quite foggy too. I don't remember ever having to be so careful while
driving.
When I got home I did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. played games, chatted and sent gifts back & forth in
facebook,... and cooked myself a Burrito Supreme for my dinner. And I installed some extra RAM in my computer. I
had 2 gigabytes,.... now I've got 4 gigabytes.
While playing these flash based games in facebook lately has been freezing up my computer. The clock stops, the
cursor disappears,.. and no keys or mouse works but I can still see everything on my screens. The only thing I can do
is reset the computer or turn it off and on again.
I don't really think it's the RAM that was the problem,... seems like it could be the CPU to me. Like those games are
taking up so much of the CPU that if one thing chimes in that takes up a lot of CPU also,... it freezes my computer.
I've been watching my Task Manager lately,... and my Microsoft OneCare anti virus chimes in automatically taking up
to 50 percent of my CPU to run.
Which along with the over 70 percent that these flash based games are taking is more than what my CPU can put out.
A friend gave me a Bestbuy cash card for Christmas,... or what ever it is that they call those,... and since my
computer has been showing a lot of the RAM being used lately,... that's why I decided to get the extra RAM. A better
CPU would of cost much more than that card was worth.
And I think that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today I had kind of a lazy day,... but it wasn't really like that,.. it was more of just an un-busy day.
I did go out to Redlands and picked up a bunch of materials for my job in Coto De Caza,... and I was supposed to look
at a new job while I was there,... but I was unable to get ahold of the people by telephone. Last night and today,...
though she finally called me back later today when I was already back home.
And for the rest of my day I just played a few games and chatted with people in facebook,.. and read all my emails.
I'm writing my dailies out early tonight,... it's only 4:15pm now,... because I'm thinking of going in and going to bed
nice and early tonight.
And that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, January 17, 2010
Today I went and did a little grocery shopping,... did one load of laundry which I've still gotta go fold,... and made a
little wood spacer to raise and lower my office shelf that I built.
And I read and responded to my emails,... played games, chatted and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.... and
cooked myself a Burrito Supreme for my dinner.
And I trimmed a tree and did some watering around my yard.
Today I was thinking how it's been over 10 years since that very first day that I started this couch writing. If I
remember right,... it started back at the end of year 1998...
Lots of things have probably changed over the years. New TV shows,.. new jobs,.. People moving from one job to
another,... new boy friends and new girl friends,... new marriages and divorces.
Not much has changed for me though over the years. My life is just work and sleep,.. work and sleep,.. work and
sleep. Or the way I usually say it is,... do things then sleep,.. do things then sleep,... do things then sleep,... with
sleep being the best part of life.
I'm gonna go on a fast this year.... I'm not prepared for it financially... But I'm gonna give it a try and see what comes
of it.
Because I don't know if I'll ever be prepared for it financially.... And that's about it for my Sunday.

Today was "get my taxes ready to go day".
So I got them all ready to go,.. just gotta make an appointment with my tax person,... and I'm waiting for my Home
Finance statement before I can do that.
Also today I did one load of laundry,.. payed my bills,.. cooked a batch of Pinto beans so they'll be ready for my dinner
tomorrow,.. started trimming a tree in my yard and did some watering,... and read my emails,.. and played games
and every thing else in facebook again.
And I think that's about it for my Saturday.

myself one of those fall apart at the seams type Burrito Supreme's for my dinner,.. and fixed Sandy the dog and Jazzy
the cat some dinner.
Yesterday I wrote that I fixed them Wedding day soup,... but I noticed today that it was actually called Italian Style
Wedding soup.
Also today I did a little gardening around my yard and worked on a friends computer. Looks like his hard drive is
bad,... I can't even see anything on it when plugging it into one of my computers.
And that's about it for my Saturday.
I've decided to write down my dailies a little early today. It's only 4:30pm here now...
We just had a rain and wind storm that knocked out the electricity on my block.... So now that it's back up and
running again I thought I might as well get my dailies done just in case the power goes out again.
Today I went to work out on my job in Coto De Caza, California. And today I cleaned and etched the garage floor.
Getting it prepared to put one of those speckled epoxy finishes on it.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,.... and

spinach so it will be ready for cooking it tomorrow,.. did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,... and played games,

Today I worked out on my job in Coto De Caza California installing garage cabinets and getting it ready to paint the
floor.
I met probably the nicest lizard I've ever met on the job today. He let me pick him up without trying to bite me or
even trying to run away.... I had to move him off the stones I was moving out of the garage.
Then after work I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. played games in facebook and cooked
myself a Burrito Supreme for my dinner.
Oh,.. and I also watered some of my plants and trees around my yard,... and that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, January 10, 2010
Today I had kind of a busy Sunday.
I did one load of laundry,.... went grocery shopping,... weed eated around my yard,.. and built a little shelf for my
office.... It's a shelf that folds down attached to one wall,... so I can put it down when I'm not using it. And it's a
place for my laptop computer. Sometimes I bring notes home from work on it and I haven't really had an ideal place
to set it in my office until now.
Also today I played games and sent gifts back & forth in facebook... And that's about it for my Sunday.

Today I had to drive out to Redlands to a job and run around getting materials for another job.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. worked on making files for backing them up,... and worked with this
new Drive Clone Pro and Partition Wizard software on my laptop computer.
And I played games,.. chatted,.. and sent gifts back & forth in facebook,... and signed up online for the toll road
FastTrak service so that I don't have to stop and pay those toll road fees with cash.
And I think that's about it for my Wednesday..... Oh,... I did load my truck for work tomorrow too.
I was thinking today how usually when people talk about weight gain,... they always blame food,... and over eating.
But I've been checking my weight daily for Months now,... and I've found that with me,... it's actually the drinks that
add the most weight to me.
I eat maybe one small bag of chips,.. maybe some sunflower seeds or Pistachio nuts and one Burrito in 2 days. That's
all I eat for 2 days which in actual weight probably weighs about 1 pound.
But, in those same 2 days,... I'll drink 12 to 16 soda's,... 12 oz. cans,... I've weighed them at .8 pounds each....
That's about 12 pounds of soda compared to 1 pound of food in 2 days.

Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Today I had to drive down to Coto De Caza California and look at a new job. It's the very first time I've driven on
those Toll Roads. When I got off the freeway almost to the job the Toll was exact change only,... and I got lucky and
had a few quarters on me. But I can see how lots of people may not have any change when driving up to one of those
Toll machines and have to drive through their red lights.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. worked on making back up files of my videos,... (converting them
into new smaller videos so they fit on less DVDs),.... and played games, chatted and sent gifts back & forth in
facebook.
And I cooked myself some spinachi for my dinner tonight. This is the first time I made it with Pine Nuts. And I liked it
that way too. Think I'll keep making it like that when I have them available.
Also today I worked with this new Drive Clone back up software that I just got,... getting myself familiar with the
software,... and that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today I updated my web site here for the new year.... That quick little animated title that I made on this page is a
little different than the ones that I've made in the past. This one is a flash animation. So in Windows you can right
click on it where a little box pops up giving you an option to play it again among some other options in there.
Also today I went over to the grocery store,.. and I worked on converting videos for backing up purposes,... and made
DVD copies of the rest of my computer files that I'm backing up.... I didn't realize that I made so many cooking
