The Saga Continues! Progress is Being Made!

Part Two Once the LLC was established I had to open or designate an account for the LLC. I had a business debit account for years on PayPal that I didn’t use very much. To keep it active I would put money in from time to time. I gave my son, Mik, a card and he would make purchases for himself. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh Boy! I Think I Made Aurora Writers Very Mad! However, I Am Mad

Part One After I gave my final okay on my book I was instructed to stay near my phone because I would get a call for a one-time pass code. I wrote back and said I would be home until early afternoon but I would keep my phone near me. The day passed and around 3 p.m. MST I received an email. The gal... Sign in to see full entry.

Wildfires Close To Home Are Scary!

The Burgdorf Junction fire is burning near my son's cabin. He lives in Sesech Meadows which is 10 miles from Burgdorf. The fire is on the south flank of Sesech and 42% contained. They, forest service, do not have a containment date listed yet. 600 soldiers were given a crash course in firefighting... Sign in to see full entry.

Encountered My First "Karen" Today! Yikes!

Jessica had a color today plus the AQI was 174 so I stayed home. She sent a text asking if I could get her peanut butter and a red onion since I decided to pick up my medication. I went to neighborhood market which is a small Walmart that's a grocery store and pharmacy. I was getting my cart and a... Sign in to see full entry.

A Wild Pic From My Oldest Son Today!

My son the pic below on messenger this morning. My initial reply was, "Is this AI?" LOL. He said they had a photographer at the mine taking pictures. In this Pic he is drilling a hole the dynamite will go in. In the second Pic he is on the machine he operates when he works above ground. I tried to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Quiet Monday!

I got a text from the publisher. The first half, it felt fake and the second half was her volunteering her services regarding registering the copyright for my book. Since she didn’t follow through on providing the requests I previously made as she said she would today, I ignored her texts. I'll be... Sign in to see full entry.

Lovely Sunday! A Little Family Drama!

Jessica and Chris inadvertently picked the same day as a grandchild's 1st birthday. That for me is one of the problems with posting an invite on social media. Their shower is in Boise and the birthday party is 40 miles away. Chris has a twin sister who has never cared for Jessica. Oh well, that's... Sign in to see full entry.

Trade Deadline Is Monday! My Tigers Already Made A Move!

Last week the Tigers effectively ended their best chance to make the playoffs. The Tigers were up 7-0 on FSI's Orioles in the 7th inning. They ended up losing 10-9 in extra innings. They needed to win that game to keep the team intact. Alas, today was the day the Tigers struck. They traded two time... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Requests!

I got the book cover in PDF and the book in PDF to finish my copyright registration. I'm thankful I can get that completed tomorrow. The smoke has kept me from being outdoor. But, my tank was getting very low. I try not to drive it with less than half a tank but lately that hasn't worked out. I... Sign in to see full entry.

No Response To My Plea For A PDF, I Took Action!

I sent two text messages and an email pleading for the PDF to finalize my application to register my copyright. I had spaced them out during the day. Finally I asked for her supervisor's name since she was done. I merely wanted someone who would take charge and finish the project I paid for. There... Sign in to see full entry.
