Oh good god, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS IN HERE!!! What we were joking about is a reality in Portland...

Tanner, K4....see you soon?

There are cat cafes all over the place now. I'm totally on-board with the idea that they get cats adopted, but I honestly don't understand it, either...there are plenty of lovely cageless shelters that people have been able to visit for years, to the same end. I guess they just needed to call themselves "cafes".

Apologies to those that have already heard this, but I need some advise....

About a year ago, a friend of mine we will call Colonel Moutard, got a parking ticket in downtown Portland. Mustard had, in fact, PAID for street parking, however, he displayed the parking receipt on the wrong side of the car. Parking receipts are supposed to face the curb side of the street and Moutard - who is an absent minded, affable fellow prone to errors in judgement - put the receipt on his driver's side door facing the street.

The ticket was issued for putting the parking receipt on the wrong side of the car and the fine was $39.

Moutard was not pleased and felt like the fine was egregious, considering he had paid for parking. However, he got out his checkbook and wrote the City of Portland a check for $39. In addition to the check, Colonel Moutard made one of his critical errors in judgement and decided it would be wise to trace his middle finger on a piece of paper, include a message to impolitely "Go make love to yourself" and wrote "Anal Rape" on the memo line of his check. He then mailed this off with an envelope that had some more vulgarities scribbled on for good measure.

The check was cashed and life went on normally for Moutard until yesterday, when he received a letter from the court. In this letter, he learned that his letter had garnered the attention of a one Judge Penile Licker (name changed to protect the innocent), who found him guilty and enhanced his fine from $39 to $139. He also extended an invitation to appear in Judge Licker's court room to explain why he should not have an enhanced fine. He has until 2/16/15 to request a hearing.

Moutard is a good friend, so I'd like nothing more than to give him the best advise in this situation. Should he just swallow his pride and pay the fine or should he appear in court? Should he get an attorney? Should he call the news outlets? Should he join a magic football internet message board and ask its constituents what to do? I will hang up and listen, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I will turn over the best ideas to Moutard.

I'm thinking a GMTAN flash-mob show of support in that courtroom is a good idea.

So that 12 Years a Slave film is a gas, isn't it? Glad my wife picked it because we had a fun night (after I had to meet my BIL after an accident that was a millisecond from killing him and his whole family) I couldn't feel worse about being white

So its all done. House sold, money collected, estate sale, moved out, moved into new house. Only needed one storage unit and my garage is packed full, so a few more weeks of unpacking, moving stuff around and some craigslist postings/goodwill runs / dump runs, but all with no time frames or pressure. Going into recovery mode for a couple weeks to try and heal. I'm too old for this ####.

i was going to pick up my bike in CA and ride it home, but I'd have to pay over 1200 in CA sales tax, so I'm having it shipped. Probably another 2-3 week wait.

keep me updated, my knees hurt like a mofo sometimes

 
Find out today whether or not our bid was accepted by the sellers. Can't sleep, been a hectic few days. Fearful Hazel will have another seizure; though unlikely, still keeping me up.

Found out recently that the house we want to buy was owned by Luis Palau, who raised 4-5 kids there in the 79s-80s. I didn't know who he was because I'm a godless heathen, but upon inspection, he's a pretty big deal in the evangelical arena...Latin Billy Graham. Seems like a decent dude. Maybe he'll drop by some day and we can share a glass of lemonade on my porch.

Handoff to Bill.....going to force sleep.

Good luck on the bid, GM.Buying/selling/moving homes is about as stressful an activity as I've gone through in my life. Worse than my many divorces.

I was at an estate sale today and they had a 1941 14' wooden chris craft for sale. Just a plain boat. No motor or cockpit or anything fancy. Looked like it would be a cool craft for fishing the creek behind my house, but unsure about portaging it. Cannot find anything on it on the internet. Anyone have any ideas? They want 2500 which is about what a good aluminum jon boat would run. Thought i might offer 1500 tomorrow. Is quite pretty.

right now about 30 ft across and 4 to 6 ft deep. flucuates with the season. Dry or a trickle 4-6 months a year.

that boat looks great- but am I wrong in thinking a wood dinghy like that might not be best in water that risks scraping bottom (like a creek)?

also- wood boats= maintenance. my dad had a wood sail boat- lots of work (granted- on salt water).

That's my biggest concern and why i inquired in here. Don't know much about wood boats and rocky portages seem risky

 
I was too drunk to post this last night but the wife asked me how to recall a text message

Me: um I don't think that's possible

Her: but I deleted it!

Me: yeah that's not how it works...what did you send?

Wife: I just texted the neighbor (who we had been drinking with all night) to not even bother trying to have sex with me tonight

Me: lmao:

Start hiding money.

 
I looked at a house this week that was obviously a drug stash house or grow house. It is a foreclosure, but I wonder if it was a forfeiture or what. You walk in and there are holes in the walls, cabinets ripped off, and it is just dirty and in disrepair. No surprise though really as it is a foreclosure, although with other homes in the development going in the high 500s and up it was a little shocking I guess.

Then we go into the basement. As soon as you reach the bottom of the steps there's a marijuana leaf spray painted on the wall. Then there are double doors open with reinforced locks. You go into that room and all the dry wall is ripped off. There are names of weed strains written on the walls and studs with numbers/dates. There is a hole in the wall with heavy duty metal hinges still attached to the studs where there was obviously a wall safe that had been ripped out. You go into another room and there is graffiti: gang signs, RIP stuff, "you smoke crack", and other stuff. Then on the ceiling beam there are at least 100 priority mail stickers from either incoming or outgoing bricks.

I'm pretty confident it was weed and other drugs possibly and not a meth lab. But can you really chance that with a baby? There's no disclosures really because it is Fannie mae owned (I think -- not a bank though). They still list it for $400+ and did nothing to hide its history. Low ball offer or let it go?

This is a great location and neighborhood (but for the drug dealers I guess). I'd need to do significant drywall repair, paint the entire interior of the house, all new carpet throughout, new interior doors (most we busted off the frame or had holes), refinish the hardwood, privacy fencing (neighbors are close -- how didn't they know what was going on?), reattach gutters, new appliances, cabinet repair .... So a lot of work plus a stigma.

Yeah, that's why I was asking. That boat draws more than I'd be comfortable with in a creek like that. I don't think you'd get much use out of it, to be honest.

Would YOU have to disclose that it was a drug house before you? If not send a lowball. I bet the listing agent has no ####### clue how truly unshowable the prop is. Make sure you indicate that to them. What would the home truly be worth if it was of comparable quality to the homes in the area? Offer 30-40% less than that iMO.

That much under market in a desirable area may be worth springing for testing. I definitely would before offering, especially with a kid.

Thoughts, prayers and good luck to Hazel and cos.

ETA: Congrats on the great run time Bentley. Good job, I'll look for your name in the company's race results article.
