Selling the Race Track

I swear people know when I'm prepping to post here. This is the fifth morning in a row I have gotten two posts up and then I get buried in phone calls. Eight by actual count. I guess my old "boss," the man who owns the race track where I have worked since 1992 is about to sell the property, and for... Sign in to see full entry.

Updates on the Credit Card Heist

It was a good day to sleep in. We watched "OnPatrol Live" on the REELZ channel last night until midnight and then found a movie we both wanted to see, so it was about 2:20 when we snuggled down and called it a day. The only reason I woke up at 9:40 was because someone called me. Even then, I laid... Sign in to see full entry.

Check Your Amazon Account Settings!

Someone "hacked" my Amazon account at about 1:20 this afternoon, and ordered a ton of expensive material, charging over $1600 to one of my cards. As this was happening, I was across the street talking with the pastor and his crew who were setting up for the 75th anniversary of the church there and... Sign in to see full entry.

Brrrr. While the temperature is "only 43," the humidity in the air gives it a "feels like" more like 25. Even Buster, our big 140# dog with a heavy coat isn't interested in going out for any longer than necessary. It is supposed to be about 78 this afternoon, and only 45 overnight, a pleasant change...

I walked outside about eight hours ago, and I just came back in. We got a lot done, but it just exposes more stuff to do over the weekend. I picked up a set of "decent" kitchen cabinets and a nice sink for a little bit of nothing, and that will help begin to allow us to get the kitchen a bit more... Sign in to see full entry.

Another cold night, with temps hitting 33 at six this morning. We were quite comfortable, but when I took the dogs out for their morning walk, I realized I needed my heavier jacket and gloves. It may have been my eyes frozen over, but it looked like the windshield on the Chevy was frosted as well.... Sign in to see full entry.

Just in so you know, the entire first post below was done by *voice-to-text.* I was waiting for the BoA (Bank of America) agent to make the necessary changes to my account to stop a pending fraudulent charge on my credit card. I've been using the app for text messages because of my eye-sight issues,... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I was beginning to do my daily routine here on blog it and all of a sudden I get an email from Bank of America telling me that Pitney Bowes had charged my credit card $193.17. I have never done any business with Pitney Bowes, so I spent the next 45 minutes talking with Bank of America... Sign in to see full entry.

The wife and I went out to lunch with my brother, Jerry, and his girlfriend, Sue. She is no one I want to hang around with, but fortunately, she stays in their trailer and rarely comes out. She has the IQ of a dead squirrel and I've heard jets taking off that weren't as incessantly loud as she is...... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to listen to a webinar from Audika about "How To Sell AudioBook Services To Hungry Clients." It starts soon, but I can listen as I type. It's the only way I can get anything done! Well, I got a call and now the webinar has started. It is a lovely 39 degrees this morning... and I'm COLD!... Sign in to see full entry.
