Ken came by last night and I remembered to clean the office and not just the bathroom. We talked about a bunch of stuff, and I got my check, dated for yesterday but due to his dodgy finances he wants me to deposit it on Friday, tomorrow. Will do.
After he was gone I dunno, I did stuff, took an ancient and rather huge laptop apart that I'd found, complete with a huge leather bag and a bunch of accessories. It had been in the rain so I just parted it out. It took hours but hey, I got some parts to sell.
Ken had also brought a lot of vintage-ish computer stuff mainly still in the boxes so I have that stuff to list, plus all the parts from the last big thing I took apart.
Even though it was Wednesday night, the illegal night club tried making a big night of it. At least that fence being closed does keep most of the noise away from here.
I went to sleep I dunno when, and woke up around 2 in the afternoon. I found all the things that had to go out except for one little circuit board with gold "fingers" on it ao, since I think the buyer's buying a lot of this stuff for the gold, I put 1 oz. of gold scrap in a little bag and substituted that - plus if the little board shows up I'll toss it in that buyer's next order.
I took off maybe 15 minutes earlier than usual, dropped the things off at FedEx and the post office, and rode up to Dai Thanh, looked around and didn't buy anything, then got a 6-pack of Lagunitas IPA in bottles from Clyde's Liquors next door. Their prices aren't bad, about on a par with U-Save.
I got T.P. at 99 Ranch and I don't think I'll be doing that any more because for a while there they had a really good price on it and now it's about the same price as it is in H Mart, which is to say wayy too high. I'll just get it from Walmart from here on out.
I found some nice packing boxes, and stopped by Tom's to say hi because I saw him outside. I wish I could get him into busking. For one thing he might be a much better trumpet player than I've become at least so far. He was in Wind Band and everything. Secondly he works too hard for his side money, selling lumber and tile that he scrounges up which sounds fine but on a per-hour basis it's lousy and he's always getting scratched up. Tom gave me one of those huge candy bars they sell in places like Whole Foods and Sprouts, I guess in return for all the stuff I'm always giving him.
I got back in here and put things away and since the welding place put out their trash can and there was plenty of room, put the huge leather laptop case in (the scavengers had taken everything else) and some stuff the neighbors left, and in general did my bit toward neatening things up around here.
Then I made a dish I'd been thinking of trying, it's making MAMA green curry ramen with a whole bundle of cilantro in it. There's actually a web page called IHateCilantro.com and it turns out that depending which geme you have, cilantro either tastes OK or is awful, like soap. So I can't recommend this dish to just anyone but to me, it was delicious. One of the best bowls of ramen I've ever made. Yum!
I haven't been practicing because I haven't felt like it. But I'm thinking that when I feel like it again and get back out there, I might try coming up with a list of songs I've never played before.
