Well after a decent night of sleep last night I got up in plenty of time to shower get dressed and head to the clubhouse for the 7:15 AM we are not saints. Actually it was
My View at Breakfast
24th Street
the business meeting and it went pretty well. After work, I caught the 33 bus directly to downtown
News and Opinion
and then cut the EL to work. My supervisor was again out. I cleared up the remaining alerts
23rd Street
and got 2 thanks and pack up completed. I probably should've had 3 of them completed but
Fairmount Ave
I was distracted by last minute stuff. One case I lost an important form. I had both of it in the scanned circular
View from Bus
file but it wasn't scanned to the computer system. I did manage to find it in the pile and always complete
15th Street
including carfare. I'd another case where a person moved to Johnstown. January. Your reason I

found out if I got a call from the Johnstown Housing Authority. By marked off and cut the L down to

15th St. After I got to 15th St. about to head home I realized that I need to go back on the out
Good Bye
to 2nd Street. I'm supposed to meet Larry around 6. His wife should be home so I don't have much
Leaving Work
time for blogging. I'm going to have chicken wings and fries. That will be my reward for helping them move up in their attic. Well out in the real world there's strong reaction to the Brexit. Great Britain voted to leave the European Union. Doesn't bode well I think. Also there was a post about weird book with weird.
56th Street
Old City
Coffee
It reminded me of the 1973 movie called "fantastic planet." That was one of the most us are animation movies
The Weekend
I've ever seen in my tire life. I watched it when I get it I don't know where I was but I remember just
Charter House Coffee
being wide-eyed watching weird looking creatures & humans in the weird planet. Well I got to Larry around 6:30 PM. He had some really delicious wings that were

quite tasty. I tell down pretty good on them. And then assisted him in putting stuff in the attic.
2nd Street
Including a big treasure chest full of golf. I was little confused by all that but it went well I then watched a
Quite Tasty
movie called Southpaw. It was pretty good. It definitely had a formula or the guy peaked out and

then hit rock bottom and then came back from his depressing Lowe's after his wife got accidentally shot due to him
My Way Home
getting into a brawl with some dude he wanted to fight him. After that I headed back home on the 48. I forgot we caught the bus right away I didn't get back home and caught up with Sharon and then
Well, I wrote up a nice long entry and then Internet Explorer froze up and then deleted all the text and blogger auto-saved the blank page. I think it the program Zemanta that seems to make Internet Explorer freeze up but this is the first time an ENTIRE entry got wiped out. What a pain in the butt!!
Ok, now to the real reason I am writing. Today I took on a home repair job that needed to be taken care of. The roof and the area at our side door need work. There is a small leak which has compromised the paint and in some areas the wood as well.
I started with the job of patching the roof. This roof will need replacing but hopefully this will hold out. I started sometime between 10:30 and 11am this morning to try to avoid the hottest part of the day. I tried one window to avoid having to turn off the AC in the other window but it was a bit too hairy so I had to put every thing back and removed the AC anyway. I covered the creases and some bad looking areas of the roof. Just when I finished, the sun started to shine on me and boy did it start getting really broiling with all that roof tar that surrounded me. I managed not to get the tar all over the place and I just had enough paint thinner to get the tar off my hands which was cool.
Next project was scraping the old paint that was starting to peel off. As you can see from the photos and the movie, the paint was in real bad shape and some of the wood is starting to rot. I used a professional -grad paint scraper that Steve lent me. This thing really did a nice job in getting the paint off. I could not for the life of me find a tarp to cover up the cement. I was attempting to avoid a real mess of tiny paint chips. I ended up using a poncho, a discarded fitted sheet and two large plastic bags. They worked pretty well but there was still a lot of stuff on the ground and I then decided to use the vaccum cleaner. That was an inpired idea since the nozzle sucked up all the bits that fell intto the cracks. I then put things back and took a nice cold clean shower.
We may go to Bogart's Books and see Adelante tonite. If we do, I will record it as long a s I have permission from the band.
Well, as for pet sitting, we are competiting with 12 year old kids. I lost some work I just heard from an industrious neighborhood kid. Man cutthought capitolism...
My sister is due to arrive in Phlly tomorrow. I have not heard from anybody as of 7pm today about what the arraingments. I made calls and nobody answered. Carolyne is not home from her yoga training and its 7pm. None of her classes have ever gone overtime. Have not heard from her either. Well, frankly I am tired of the flaky way the browser is acting, so I am gonna stop now.
