first song I would play driving on that road
Song gives me hope.
Morning Big and Friends,
Good mornin' all you fine, fine, super fine folks of the OOFC!
Another cool drizzly day here in the city.
I've been spending most of my free time in the apt. downstairs, readying it for new tenants.
The 'painters' (using the term very loosely as well they did paint, sigh) are done finally.
When the GC came in to fix the water valve for the toilet, he was looking around commenting
on what a horrible paint job those cats did. I cannot just let the shitty painting stand so...
I told my LL if he approves, I will purchase (he will reimburse) some paint/ rollers and give
the place a 2nd coat. He approved. Today, I'll pick up all the hardware, paint and misc.
items and begin in the bathroom as it's the most difficult room to navigate.
I was super ticked when the 'lead' painter went against my direct instructions and painted
both the bathroom and kitchen the opposite colors than what I asked for. Fuck head.
Have I mentioned that his guy is a hack? Been here 15 yrs. and I am well aware of his
poor workmanship and arrogant know it all attitude, sigh.
In the current construction trades, real painters are not only in high demand and booked
out for months... they are also deeply price gouging. This is a rush job so... LL used
this guy in a pinch. I'll fix his fuck ups though
Yesterday, I asked Mike the GC if the vanity was to be replaced in the bathroom.
He said it was not on the list. My reply was "oh hell no, that thing must be 60+ years old".
His reply was... "Tell Jim, you seem to be able to get what you want".
So, I strongly suggested that the vanity be replaced. The vanity will now be replaced
The old ceiling light fixtures will all be updated also and I got to choose the styles
I love fixing/ restoring old homes and I am so grateful for this opportunity to use my skills.
The place is going to look saweeeet!
I realized yesterday as I worked that besides enjoying making things fresh and new...
I am also doing this to rid the place of the negative energy of the previous terror of
a tenant I dealt w/ for the entire time I've lived here. Friday, once all the workers
(should) are done, I am going to smudge the entire house, property.
Not sure if it actually does the job but, the positive energy/ meditation of smudging
will do me good
Do, do, do looking out my front porch...
5:45 a.m. from my smoking chair on the front porch.
Not terrible for living downtown in 'greater LA'
Alrighty folks... have a groovy day!

But don't reach full maturity till 2
Smoking herb since age 15 and being 'raised' in the culture of marijuana...
I learned that '"loose lips, sink ships" and other important practices to help
keep me out of jail (or worse) hopefully.
Never in the past would I have stated where I live on an open forum.
Nope, neva eva give out personal details!
Times have changed and, I at least, currently live in an area of
rather permissive attitudes and laws concerning cannabis.
The way our rec law is written... they could still come in and...
do what law enforcement does.
I am less concerned these days however as there are much
bigger fish to fry than I. + I can walk around my city and smell
who is growing weed and... it is being grown in abundance in
homes all around the area.

back in the 70’s and 80’s we went from Tulsa to Toronto every year , cult ritual , and always went through Detroit across the Ambassador Bridge….
i would not recognize downtown Detroit anymore
Typically, their full height at around 18 months, but they continue to fill out some, so 2 years is probably close. Miss Layla gained about 12 lbs from 1.5 years to 2 years old.
