Nov 25th

 Got up, nothing to ship. People are thinking about the upcoming holiday instead of buying from us, as I like to joke. 

I went over to the old storage place and bought a key - $18 and change. I went up there and checked the unit (the one Ken and I started in on moving stuff out of) and I hope it's just that Ken's been there, because a lot more stuff's been moved out. I locked it up and left. 

Then I headed downtown and got a bento and a bottle of tea at Nijiya, then went to the bank which instead of taking their break 1-2PM was taking it noon-1PM so I had half an hour to do other things in. 

Other things meant I went to Whole Foods to lock up the bike, and sat down and ate the bento , then hopped on a #64B bus back to the bank, did my business, then got on the CalTrain to Menlo Park for some more business. It went well. I looked around in the shops and then took the train back to Whole Foods, stopped at the Amazon place for some bubble mailers, and got back here, 

All this time I'd been trying to raise Ken on the phone but he's just not communicating. I got three keys with the lock so two are on the board with hooks with tags on them with the unit number, the key that *was* for that unit has a tag with the logo, cut from their biz card, and number of the unit in the new place, and I have the third key with me in my pocket for now. 

I wanted to talk with Ken about this but since he's not communicating, I'm just going to work on taking stuff out of the old storage, that's valuable and ought to be put onto Ebay soonest. Ken will save and hoard the most useless shit, like the 6 or 8 computer towers I'd planned to snarf out of there because I could take the CPU, RAM, and any interesting cards out and discard the rest. 

But there are scopes and analyzers and stuff that are the reason I want to keep the unit locked, because some of the types who are around that storage place know that the stuff is valuable and can take photos and look things up. 

The "grounds" for busking look fertile, at Whole Foods. The skinny white guy who's a hard right-winger is out there with his table set up, collecting petitions and getting into arguments with people so I don't know how long he'll last. Yesterday he was in what sounded like a big "we agree" pseudo-argument with a guy about Biden. Uhh, Biden's dropped off the edge of the world, for all practical intents and purposes. But this idiot things Biden's still president, I guess. All the crap Mango Mussolini is doing, that's Biden. 

In any case, there's a place I could set up a few yards from Mr. Annoying, and no one would consider us to be together. What I guess I worry a little is, I may not be practiced up enough to busk this Christmas season at all.
