Hello
Happy St. Patty's day
New speed cameras in WA
Is anyone on top of the new red light & speed cameras going up in Isaquah, WA east of Seattle.
It also looks like Seattle is going to put up 24 more cameras at 19 intersections.

somewhere around #53?
yep, that's where I am. pulling up the rear.
After 3 days of rain, everything is spring green just in time for St. Paddy's day.
Happy Day to all you green sons of Erin. I have to tend to my garden while the soil is soft.

Outrage time folks
Time to renew my auto insurance policy. I've had AIG and now they are calling their auto division 21st Century to disguise their identity. AIG not popular now. Of course, they are 80% owned by us and too big to fail, so at least they have that in their favor.
I have 2 retirement IRAs with AIG Financial. Earlier this month, I was notified that their new name is Sagepoint Financial, Inc.
Not that long ago, being associated with the AIG name was a big selling point, a positive, something to be proud of. My, my, how times have changed. Whether its called 21st Century, Sagepoint or anything else, its still a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Cue the outrage. For months, the Obama administration and members of Congress have known that insurance giant AIG was getting ready to pay huge bonuses while living off government bailouts. It wasn't until the money was flowing and news was trickling out to the public that official Washington rose up in anger and vowed to yank the money back.
For those that want to read more?

Garden sprayer
We have a condo in Memphis that we are getting ready to refurbish. One thing we considered was getting the popcorn off the ceiling. This seems to be a big thing for resale and new builders. Since our condo is on a 2nd story, we cannot soak the ceiling with water. Do you have any other suggestions for removing popcorn from the ceilings?
A garden sprayer will work, you just need to keep going over it till is wet through,but not dripping.
Try it, you will know when it's ready to release, which doesn't take as much water as you think.

Spring Break
have a good week
time to spring back
To day was great again in Cleveland. Tomorrow the weather is being sacked again, but only for a few days. From here out there should be more nice days rather than bad ones until they are all nice.

Didn't win
Well, I didn't win the Acura TL, so I'm actually going to have to pay money for a new car this year.
Bummer. Buying cars is such a bother.
Came close, though. I was #5 in line. #7 won the car.
Panama Canal
Looking forward to our cruise to Panama .
We took a 14 day cruise on Holland American to the Panama Canal last year. It left from Port Everglades in FL. We went halfway thru the Canal, got off, toured the old Naval Base, and surronding towns. Met the ship back at the entrance where we started. Going thru the locks was amazing. We have taken many cruises and by far, this was one of the best.

Funny Find Under Lodging
I was just looking at lodging on my 660 and it showed the Circle Inn as a place to sleep. Only problem is it's a beer joint and pizza parlor not a motel or anything close. I guess you could sleep in the parking lot and call it lodging.

Time to make the Jerky
It has been a productive day.
I got all the scraping, cleaning and taping off done.
I also got 8 lbs of sliced beef prepped and into some marinade. Yes folks it is time to make the first batch of beef jerky for the season.
I am so excited!!! This time tomorrow it will be ready to take out of the dryer.
I will texture the walls in the morning.

The Canal is an engineer's dream
Charles
Enjoy your cruise,
Hope your going through the Canal!
Thanks.Yes going through the canal.Never been there looking forward to this.Stops in Costa Rica and Belize too.I checked the weather there a couple of days ago and it was 90 in Panama.
For a seaman, the canal has all the nav markers right on spot, they are wonderful. Try to get some of the really really black bread there, it was "Mary Jane" brand when we bought some. And real Holland butter, oh my goodness. Plus, try a Panama servesa/beer. Lovely place with all those mountains. Never been to Belize, but did go to west coast of Costa Rica. The whole trip will be a delight. Have a great great time.

Groundhog Day is Never Wrong!
It's offically SPRING just a few minutes ago.
Happy Spring everyone!
YAY!
On Groundhog day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.
What do you know? This week is six week later! Coincidence? Conspiracy? You decide!
(Yeah - I know. It depends on if you look at the spirit of the phrase "six more weeks of winter" or "spring will come early," or the letter of the phrase, so to speak...
And now, back to your regularly scheduled forum - already in progress . . .
Happy Spring!
Spring has sprung and it's a sunny but cool day in Indy. Did i forget to say I love daylight savings time too! (It's only been 3 years Indiana realized what it was missing)

I reduced my Insurance...
Time to renew my auto insurance policy. I've had AIG and now they are calling their auto division 21st Century to disguise their identity. AIG not popular now. Of course, they are 80% owned by us and too big to fail, so at least they have that in their favor.
...by almost 1/2 last week... My insurance company changed their promise of LOW premium and I called another ones... I got almost 1/2 than what they had proposed... What a shame! In the name of loyalty they are here for a loot.
Anyways, Have a great weekend everyone!
Spring Fever

Popcorn not welcome this time

Try it, you will know when it's ready to release, which doesn't take as much water as you think.
Could not risk flooding the apartment below so we did not use the water treatment to get rid of the popcorn ceiling. Instead we opted for a dropped ceiling and added flush mounted ceiling lights.
That worked.

The primer is on and now I am waiting for it to dry. I get to paint the ceilings next;) I am so excited about seeing color go up on the walls today.
