My outstanding results from the Turlock Journal


I really thought I would get more than three questions on this celebrity quiz, but oh well. This cute young girl caught me in line at Starbuck's, snapped the shot, and wrote down my made up answers... how fun. Notice all the others are just kids, not sure how I was picked in this line up.

Jeep Jeep, I got the Jeep out of the back yard where it has sat 6 years...

I will put up a picture soon. All is good except the paint has been damaged by the tarps smacking it in the wind and some of the seams in the top are coming apart. The battery was dead, got a new one at Costco, and the thing fired right up. It is running a bit rich and the smell is bad while you are driving. I Power washed it in side and out, and used a cleaner resin like wax stuff. I will need to wax it again. I also did all the tires and seats with Armor All like stuff. It looks good, now if it got more than 9 miles to the gallon it would be way cool.

Ride 4 or 5...

I rode a little further today. Looks like 12.3 on Google maps. Rode by a stinky dairy. People want to believe in happy cows, but let me tell you there are few dairy's with happy cows. Here is the map. It was 98 degrees... the temperature, not the Boy Band when I got back. It was pretty hot but it felt good since once again there was a breeze. I drank nearly a full Large water bottle and I may have to install another water bottle cage or use my camel-back if I start riding further.

My first ride back in Hughson

So I went on my first ride today. It was a nice kick off to coming home. It was nearly 90 degrees, but quite breezy so it was not bad at all. It appears from this pic on Google Maps that my ride was only 10.4 miles.


On the way back I stopped to 'taste' a cherry or two along side the road. Yeah they were not my cherries but I think they were skipped in the harvest for some reason. The rest of the trees were picked pretty cleanly. The cherry was very warm, but very sweet. It probably would have been better cooled down a bit but it was a pleasant burst of flavor none the less.

Home renovations Leaving Ess EFF

As some of you may or may not know I am leaving San Francisco and moving home for awhile. Yes as in with the Parents, or as my Aussie friends say, with the Olds. There has been a lot of thought involved in this move. Part of it is a leap of faith, as in the real sense of the word getting back in touch and involved in Church. The other part is I have not been working sense I quit my job and then went on disability. I definitely have a plan on the job front, but I am not really letting that cat out of the bag yet. I am hoping that it may be a dream job of sorts. As these movie clips go they are not that good, but I am basically trying to capture the end of say 30 hrs or so of work. We took out 20+ years of collected junk, found new homes for some of it, Goodwill, etc.Next I painted in a shade of Mushroom, and then power-scrubed the floors. Later I used Linseed oil on them and the closet doors, then finally I power waxed the floors and buffed them out.Next plan is to get a closet organizer and a ceiling fan since we do not have central AC, and summers stay in the 100's until 7pmn or so... I will post more later.

I was out with ash an beata 80's night and they had never heard the 867-5309 song. I tried to explain it was a top 10 80' song, but they would have none of it.

A real day and stuff.

Got up and made Bfast, Cranberry Almond Clusters and a Latte with the cold brewed coffee that I have just recently researched how to make. BTW, it is really good, a little smoky almost. This cold brew style of coffee is BIG in Japan and also New Orleans. It makes really delish ice coffee as well, which I had later in the day with a little Organic raw sugar, which I first melted in a little hot water. Nobody likes granules of sugar in ice coffee, yet so few places stock simple sugar syrup, except in Japan it comes in little tubs like creamer. I have noticed on hot days Peet’s will make some sugar syrup to have on hand, but it is really hit or miss and the container gets so sticky you must wash your hands soon after. Next, I did some house duties, and gave my plant a shower. This plant was smuggled into America by an ex-girlfriends grandma, in her underpants no less! I guess she figured nobody in customs would dare check the Granny Panties. She snipped the plant on a tour of an Ecuadorian rain forest after judging a World Orchid Show. Now I am sitting across from some grumpy looking dudes, all of us on the net here at Starbucks in big arm chairs, and a Hot young college girl with abnormally large breast implants and some big hoop earrings; she is highlighting like a banshee with pink & yellow. I tend to be the only one smiling, amusing myself really with a funny IM to a friend and by reading a clip from a WWII era memo on hiring women. My favorite blurb is about husky girls being more efficient and even-tempered than their underweight sisters. Which takes me back to being a plus size kid myself, and the exact moment I knew it was when my mom tried to buy me HUSKY size Sears Toughskins Jeans. Oh the horror! I forced my mom to take me to JC Penny to get my ‘switch on’ to Levis. Levis had a size #, no negative stereotyping involved at all. I wonder what genius thought of calling little boy’s jeans the Husky collection; I bet they never sold a damn thing!! I Just did some checking, seems I was not the only kid horrified by having to move to the Husky Line, Some guy writes a great article here on these wretched jeans, "And we won't even broach the horror of the "husky" Toughskin wearer... " I swear I did not even read that until after I wrote what I wrote... Well now that I am checking there are numerous 40 year old x-chubbers like myself that were traumatized by the Husky line of jeans. Not only did they say HUSKY where the little boys size said Toughskins, they had a big X on the pocket so that there was no doubt from a distance you needed some teasing on the playground.
Ciao Niao, Miguel
