how busy have i been? let me count the ways.
we moved! back in january we saw a house that caught our eye so we bought it. the real estate market in the vancouver area is crazy so we had to pay over the listing price. then came the difficult part, selling our old house. i worked like crazy cleaning it up, i was even painting the fence in the cold january weather. the neighbors thought i was nuts.
this past weekend we did the move. we hired movers for the furniture but i moved a shit load of heavy boxes etc and for a few days every muscle in my old body ached. yes, cry me a river. yesterday i fixed a closet. if there's one thing that just drives me fucking nuts, it's flimsy fucked up wire racks and weak clothes rods:
this is my basement closet for coats etc. i need strength and strength is what i now have! steel rods, wall reinforced with real wood and a son of a bitch 2X4 in the middle to prevent the rod from sagging. i hate anything that sags.
and here's the best part of the adventure: RUBY BIT THE REAL ESTATE AGENT! good old roo has another notch in her belt.
i love you sons of bitches.

I've hardly move in my entire life. Let see 9 times and I'm even counting the time I left the hospital when I was born.
Coffee is on
You are so full of shit...
Congrats on the move. Built to last!
dora - i've only moved 4 times but that's enough when you think about real estate commisions and property transfer taxes.
bill - full of shit?
thims - thanks, i'm much happier in this 55 year old house than the 4 year old house we moved from. have i ever mentioned that i like old stuff?
I can see moving every so many year just to force your self to rid of crap,
I've heard of people doing the craziest things to sell their homes. One guy put a Jacuzzi in his bathroom, but I don't think he got a higher price. Buyers can smell desperation. I hope your new pad doesn't disappoint.
Billy, my friend, "Computer says this could be a false call", mate!
Computer will report back and update! :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
The Survivor...
Nice work, BP, on the closets, and nice work by Ruby too. Congrats on the new house and selling your old one. Take care buddy.
Hmmm... I think you've mentioned that you like gold stuff...
dora - 3 years ago we moved from a 4000 sq ft house to a 1700 sq ft house and got rid of a ton of junk. now we're in a 2300 sq ft house and had to get rid of lots of junk because there's no garage with this house.
gb - i also painted all the lower moldings and washed all the walls with my special mixture of pine sol and bleach to give the house a good smell rather than the wet pitbull smell.
mr shife - thank you for your continuing support.
thims - we bought an old solid maple buffet and hutch today. it had lots of marks on it but the son of bitch is solid as a rock and heavy as a rock. and yes, gold always looks good to me.
oh yeah, i also bought a new lawnmower today on sale at sears to replace the one that was stolen last fall.
I don't recall anything about you moving three years ago, and why in the hell would you want a place without a garage? Seems to me like you are making this stuff up.
A fifty year old home would have been built in 1964, most homes built in the sixty's are about as interesting as rat shit, and by now needs a lot of upgrades.
And I don't think Ruby bit anyone either.
bill - we're hope to build a new garage but first have to get the property surveyed then go through the permit process.
do you really think i give a shit whether you believe me or not?
actually i did the math wrong, our house is 65 years old.
oh yeah, there's a double carport but that doesn't count. the wife needs a garage for the vehicle you love to hate and i might soon be upgrading the sonata.
So, now both of you are full of shit. Next time she wants to go shopping tell her to look for something smaller than a fucking house.
where's harry?
Billy, my friend, that's not your stolen lawnmower on Ebay is it? :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
PS The computer says that your move was genuine and legitimate, and as such, has processed it. Congratulations, mate. I hope you enjoy your new home and share many happy and joyous times there.
Ciao!
According to my tracker Harry is still with us, just not saying anything.
You call a walk behind a fucking lawnmower? Anyone that owns a fucking BMW should own a rider.
My mower cost a thousand bucks and has a beer can holder. But I don't have a wife with a fucking BMW that needs a garage to keep it shiny so it doesn't fuck with her igo.
at our old house, my albanian neighbor bought his kid a c300. i'd take one of those over a beamer.
i like the c series way more than the e or s series.
I love my old Dodge Dakota, don't know what I would do without it.
I don't either, BBC. It seems to be the only friend you have left.
Like you would know anything about my friends.
Try spending less time being bitter about what others have.
If you wasn't a fucking idiot you wouldn't think I was bitter. Like I would want to own the shit many others do and be a slave to all that shit.
You're still a slave, you're just too dense to recognize your master.
Your bitch is back, enjoy her.
*poof*
welcome back leslie, has the little bundle of joy arrived?
if a boy, would he be named drew?
I helped my parents move last weekend, plus two more days. My advice, albeit impractical, is never move and never help anyone else move!
Congrats on your new place and also to Ruby.
May.
Girl.
Lorelei Coltrane or Emerald James
thanks tex, but my dream is still living on a nice piece of oceanfront property.
Lorelei is sublime.
I'm guessing that you don't have oceanfront property because the beemer broad doesn't want oceanfront property.
Carry on, godfuckingdamnit.
'Leslie the Lovely', sweetheart, are your niples as hot for me today as they were when last we spoke? :-P
"Fancy a bit of this?"
Glad to have you aboard on my Rocket To Russia! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
PS And then along came the idiot, yet again! :-P
Leslie the Lovely, sorry about your nipples, sweetheart. My last comment contained just the one P! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
Billy, my friend, please don't tell me that you've forgotten your new address, already, and as such, can't find your way home! :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
as my girl norah says, i love you pretty baby but i alawys take the long way home.
i had to take a new bus home yesterday and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
Billy, you took the bus? That's not too good for the good old Carbon Footprint, mate! :-P
What's up with the 'push-bike'? Lazy tunt! Hope you're settling into your new 'holiday' home!:-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
