Some updates:
#63 Get maintenance done on the car (the beyond oil change stuff)
The check engine light came on last Tuesday on my way to work. Historically this is not a good thing as my car belongs to a small pool of Saturn Vues whose transmissions came with elusive gremlins.
I didn’t get a clear answer from [...]

The list – the car edition
the Gas Company
They came out last Fall to handle the switching of service and Angus let them in for me. While they were, they turned off the gas to the oven and left me a note about it being unsafe.
I’ve misplaced the note which I need to send to the landlords to get them to replace the [...]
a note to myself
For #13 on my list which is organizing photos, there was a question of what kind of “storage” to use for digital photos. External hard drives fail. Media fails or gets scratched. So what then?
Answer: Dreamhost’s Files Forever. For 1c/4 megs, they’ll store files indefinitely (for as long as they offer the service). I’ve good [...]
The FICO project
So one of my goals is to get my FICO up by 50pts.
First I need to know what it is, so doing research online to figure out what the latest in fico is.
* Each credit bureau does their own FICO score and yours can be different between the three . If you get your score [...]
New country today
I’m mailing cards #18, 19 and 20 today and one of them is going to Belgium!
Still haven’t received any other post cards yet but I have at least 10 received postcards between the 2 accounts now so anticipate getting some this week.
My snapfish order arrived Saturday. Not too bad! Only problem is that they put [...]
God’s Cheetos
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never gone to see the Poppy fields before. Especially since I often drive through the high desert just a mere 15 miles away from it. But all the wild california poppies and other various wildflowers do not bloom within view of the 14.
Nicole woke me up at unholy hour of [...]

Obstacles
This past Tuesday night, I went to the Moolight Rollerway again with Ryan for their Tues night adult class. This time we went to the other half of the rink which was teaching backwards skating.
It was the first time going since the class 3 weeks previous. That night was the first time going to the [...]
Step by step
As I said before, not trying to actually do #73 yet which is to make and eat the salads of the kind I used to eat a couple years ago, for a week.
I’m working my way up to it to keep from feeling overwhelmed with trying to accomplish too much at once.
Here’s a picture of [...]
Postcard update
Finally got my first one… from Germany. Which isn’t surprising considering A has gotten all hers from there too. Something seems to be wrong with the site’s algorithms because it should be more varied then that. Or perhaps it’s because those are the first two arrive between her 3 accounts.
Anyways, it was of Insel Ruger [...]
