Garlic chicken fried rice for breakfast and let’s get some work done today. Priority is that bass, it must be working pronto. I was up at 5:30AM to find another bad batch of coffee, so I’ll be grouchy today if I want. Say, that reminds me, one of my sources of one-liners is posting comments on-line. My avatar profile specifically states all remarks are for the purpose of eliciting new material for my act. What recurrently works best are snappy remarks that say I-told-you-so. The lower orders hate that. Now, you see, this means those who can’t be bothered to read my profile become nasty enemies, and yes, I’ve been threatened. But as long as the formula works, I’ll not change the formula. Today is this blog’s 54th birthday.
Time for another search filter update. Fact is, I have around 30 custom templates, the longest of which is used to block fakes and liars on real estate listings. Fakes would include AOLs who put the downpayment or the monthly rent in the price field. I’ve had to raise my minimum price to $22,500 to combat these scum. My cap iw $250,000. Ain’t no place in America worth more than that to me. Starting three days ago, my inbox is flooded with properties over $1 million. It means the scammers have found a way to bypass the system. Advertising is a fool’s business, they don’t know that too much of it is handing them negative results.
Seven hours later, cancel the big plans. I fell back asleep until 5:00PM. If there’s anything written here, I came back later. What happened was this turned into one of those muggy hot Florida summer days by mid-morning. I reached over and turned on the A/C. This made things mighty comfortable as I thought, I’ll just lie down for a nap. I must get something done today for my own good, so I’ll head out to the shed
What’s this, Carol Burnett is 91? I thought she was that old decades ago and was long gone, but there she is, looking well. Can’t say the same for Lauren Smith, it’s her first mention here because she squandered her charms in a unique way. Here’s a Bitchute link that puts it rather well. He explains that a peasant cannot be judged same as a king, because the king has unlimited power.and constrained only by his character. So, the logic flows, the peasant who gains such power also reveals character. And Lauren lands flat on her Canadian arse. She crows that men don’t treat right-wing women right, but is now trailer trash with a mixed race baby. I can’t add much to what the narrator says about all that, but he does make a point about women and politics. You cannot sit down and reason with all the people in this world who want to kill you because they can’t be you.
Turns out I did get something done. I weeded part of the back fence, deciding to leave this weird tree or bush with a reddish stem. Then I used the neighbor’s superior table saw to cut some rabbets and it works quite well (see photo above). Without a jig you have to use careful measurements but it makes a nice fit and maximizes the interior space. I like it. This is rather time-consuming but I have no time to make a jig.

Here’s the long-awaited turtle chateau in progress. This is where your well-mannered testudines are taking up residence and dining on turkey and blueberries. It’s only fitting, since he has had to put up with me using his table space for repairs, jigsaw puzzles, and making a lot of pies. The custom cutouts and refinements will be added later. It is not installed yet, but the entire roof will be a balcony with the tops of the merlons exactly one turtle high. Hence, this lucky turtle will have achieved something most Americans can only dream of. A quiet space with no advertising, sales tax, or third year pink-haired arts majors who think they are babes.
Instead, I did some planning and sawing and have parts of JeePee’s castle put together. Just plywood and quarter-round for now, she’s taking shape. My studies of caste design put this as middle Norman, when the French began to replace the Mott & Bailey with square stone enclosures. JeePee has lived in cardboard too long for his attained position and it is only right he have a home commensurate with the standing he has achieved. You may examine the basic structure here, bearing in mind it takes a lot more than plywood to make a castle a home or something along those lines.
Another text from Bradford at 9:20PM and I zipped over to the old club. I knew it would be dead, so I brought along supplies to write a couple of letters. It was so-so and Bradford confirms other location is beginning to pick up a good crowd, so I marked it down to commit myself no matter what. I get it, I’m building turtle shelters instead of fixing my instrument. Today got complicated on me, I’m going to put everybody on hold a few more days Let’s talk now about money.
Folks, you need to check your investments regularly. Something is out of whack over at Caltier, whereby I mean they are confusing, not cheating. As mentioned, the site was down for compliance until sometime since I dozed off. The April disbursement (which I accurately predicted within 38 cents) was listed in two parts. One for the expected amount, then a second one for 25 cents. Most accountants would deem this some form of adjusting entry, but Caltier has always explained before. This time nothing.. When you monitor your investments, you are as much checking that things go right as well as wrong.
I entered the figures into my private accounting logs, which promptly set off all the alarms. Over time, most of my accounts develop an expectation of what is reasonable. For example, the 25 cents was flagged as too small and turned the cell red. There was one time before when Caltier went back and corrected some amounts. A year go, it was only something like 58 cents, but I caught it immediately. It is tax season so I left the alarms on, decided to wait and see.
Even so, Caltier once again draws the biggest share, with this account showing 9.57% since inception. Careful here, that is not an annual return, it is a weighted return since December of 2022. The annual rate stays around 7% or slightly more. Caltier is put on hold until August but still shows the best performance from what we’ve got. The minimum increment of the commodities “Reggae” account is $189, but that may be the only input for a while. We’ll talk more about Caltier tomorrow.
ADDENDUM
I have no idea who Clara is, but she keeps reading my band profile. It’s still listed, but the first line states not taking auditions at the moment. She’s looking too often to just ne copying a few of my posting techniques, yet her bio mentions country only once. Along with rock, metal, and “screaming piano”. Let me see if I can get an age. Nope, but she does have an expertly posed promo pic that makes her look darn good for a big girl. I suspect the photo was taken some years ago. No contact yet, just several looks over a week, which makes no sense since her location shows as Pittsburgh.
