17 Mayo 17
She was just 17, I nearly went to jail, if you know what I mean/ and before too long …
Brief but intense entry on this a prime numbered day and a very interesting numerical pattern for this date wouldn't you say? Think 17/5/17 or 5/17/17 maybe. Perhaps. You MUST work with me on these. Por favor ?
Up earlier on a full day off & I am having a busload of Faith that significant things WILL be accomplished. Consequently, not much time for this report so on to the biggest news.
Right about dawn there occurred here at the cloud a strong but brief passing storm. There were bold flashes of lightning, not a great deal of thunder and I don’t think much rain. I can not tell with regard to (wrt) exact rainfall as I have not done the walkabout as yet.
I have made one phone call. To the East coast for a job opp. Left with a brief voice mail. Still four
(4) open positions showing.
I had a long telecon with Roger yesterday. Topic of discussion was financial planning, paths & scenarios to keep the ship on course but more importantly afloat.
I ‘reached out’ to a philanthropic organization yesterday with a written request for some funding. The site warned of timely response times so once again, ‘wait patiently’ weed hopper.
Emma has left Oz and by now should be in the US of A. No confirmation on that as yet however. Let’s face it, her reporting in and tracking in fairness is not the highest priority for her as she is visiting Family. Friends second. I get it which is fine. I know more than a few people that would be miffed at such a snubbing. If and when she gets around, I am 100% positive the report will be … interesting and lively.
Got a text message with image from my brother. He has the next production batch of new shorebirds ready to cut out. Then ship and for some reason I am stoked about this set. One is a firm order for a totally new, never-ever-been-done and on top of that exceedingly rare.
A non-breeding American plover. Very cool. Subtle colors but lots of contrast with lighter body colors and bold, dark and I am thinking mostly black bands or dots in a pattern.
I must confess to some stress yesterday. I completed a sword of Damocles project. Set up and filed my state of Texas sales tax account. Phone calls, web-site bullsh*t but FINALLY current and owing more in late fees than I had actual sales. But a HUGE weight lifted along with a sense (cents ?) of accomplishment.
So I was able to file for a waiver which should eliminate all the late fees but one which I will pay in a show of ‘good faith.’
That’s it. Today the big three on the agenda are tax appraisal protest, casa (ac & yard) and make some sawdust in the garage.
Stamp your passport ‘current’.
