My Dailies 2016
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 ...

my emails,.. did my daily work notes and accounting,.. payed a bill,.. got my September tax payment ready to send

I saw a good show on the cooking channel last night. It was a contest for some of the worst cooks in America. One of
the reasons I liked this show was I never seen the 2 chefs doing much of anything before. I’ve seen them talking
about their favorite foods and I’ve seen one of them in a Food Truck game that seemed so hard that it wasn’t much
fun. I figured it’s his game, he can make it any way he likes. Plus most of that stuff would be preparing them for
having their own food truck.
Anyway, it was nice to see these 2 chefs in a different light. They both look like they know what they’re doing,.. and
they’re good at it. And they come across like cool people too.
That’s about it for my Saturday.

I never have been one that would believe things easily. I remember back when I was a young kid. I was outside
playing in the dirt or mud one day thinking about whether or not I believe in God. I thought: I think if there is a God
we should be able to see him. Like for instance,.. “The Moon God”.
There’s a guy on the Cooking channel doing kind of a quirky show. Can seem like it’s made for kids. But if you hang in
there with him I’ve found it can be a show worth watching. He likes to prove things. Like he’s trying to get right down
to the truth of things.
I have a job that can have me living my life without food & drinks. I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t have some real
proof along with real good reasons to be doing it. I like food & drinks,... they’ve always been a favorite part of life.
I think I know or I know...
I think I knows can be wrong.
I know should mean that you do know, otherwise it’s actually an I think I know that you are really talking about.

Cooking with Love. I use to think that that was one of the reasons that I can be a good cook. But it wasn’t until
yesterday when I figured out what I think cooking with Love is that I realized that it is one of the things that I do.
Cooking with love to me is putting care into the way you prepare and cook your foods. It’s taking the proper amount
of time to prepare your foods just right.
I use to go to a Mexican food place that made really good big wet burrito rancheros. One day I went in there and
ordered my food right when the usual chef was ready for his own lunch. So he put a rush on preparing my food. And I
could taste the diference. I didn’t really like my burrito ranchero on that day.
What he did was,.. he pulled it out of the oven too soon. So the cheeses were not properly melted and the burrito just
wasn’t as hot as they usually come.
That’s about it for my Sunday.

Watching the Cooking channel for me can be kind of inpirational. All those hard working cooks and a lot of them are
really good at it too. It’s like you can find inspiration there no matter what your job is.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands, California cutting in overhangs, touch up painting and cleaning up because the
job is about done,.. then I came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. unloaded some things from
my van,.. read my emails,.. and did my daily work notes...
One day, some years ago I went to work on another painters job at a house where I was just meeting the home
owners for the first time. Me and the husband are standing in the kitchen looking through an opening to the garage
where his wife is bent over and trying to get something out of the back seat of the car.
I’m taking a bit of a long look at her rear end, then I turn and look at her husband who is looking right at me with a
look on his face as if he knows what I was looking at.... And he wasn’t smiling about it.
I acted naive about it, as if it never happened and went on to getting started with the work that I was to do there on
that day.
I wasn’t thinking anything about her rear end,.. I was just looking at it is all. It’s a common thing to do.
Once the husband left for work,.. the wife started acting very friendly to me... It was as if the husband told her that I
was checking her out... She was going on about how she’s thinking about getting a divorse and just acting like she
was interested in me.
She was friendly with me throughout that whole day,.. we even had some nice laughter together, laughing eye contact
and to me she was a really good looking girl too.
I pretty much just listened, talked and didn’t get involved with any thing that goes along with getting together. I
didn’t quite get it. I wasn’t sure if she was being serious or maybe they know things about me and they’re kind of
testing me. I just wasn’t sure what was going on. She was acting normal and sincere about it though.
Just a part of my life that I was thinking about today and I thought parts of it might sound funny.
That’s about it for my Friday.
