I started the trailer demo yesterday. Though cloud bursts interrupted the work occasionally, I was able to easily bust out the rotted wood deck. Since dark threatened to come quickly, cleanup was the next order of business. Circular saw in hand, I cut up all the boards into bite size pieces and stacked them at…

Today was our fourth “pair event” with the <a href=”http://imentor.org” title=”eye mentor dot org”>iMentor</a> program at James Lick High School in San Jose. Every time we have one of these events, I grow a little bit. I get exposed to different things, things outside my usual sphere of existence, and things slightly outside my comfort…

Not sure if I mentioned it wide and far enough, but for 2017, I met my running goal. The goal, same as for the prior year, was 400 miles, and this year, I came in at about 403. Last year, I hit well over 500.<br />n<br />nWorks for me, I hit my goal! Happy new…

Earlier this summer, soon after returning from our two week RV adventure to Yellowstone and the Tetons, we planned to take Harold to the Beach Boardwalk to celebrate his birthday. But <a href=”https://www.jaworskihouse.com/blog/index.php?/archives/417-Didnt-Make-the-Boardwalk.html” title=”rv broke down”>the RV broke down</a>, we got stranded, and we had to promise him another time.<br />n<br />nThis weekend, we finally…

Last weekend, I hit the two hundred mile (322 km) mark for my running for the year. That’s pretty good. Last year, I did 212 for the entire year. If I’m doing my math correctly, I’m on track for 500 miles for the year.<br />n<br />nNice side benefit is that I’ve lost 15 to 20…

As I start to open the door to scare it away, I realize it has a ringed tail. Raccoon!<br />n<br />nThe sound…

In October, we thought we were going to Tahoe, neighbor Jerry’s cabin. We changed the plan a week before the holiday, and at the very last minute, the night before, registered for the <a href=”http://svturkeytrot.com/” title=”silicon valley turkey trot”>Silicon Valley Turkey Trot</a>. Morning of, we got up early and prepped, figuring out light rail details,…

Yesterday, I got a cold call from a real estate agent, also known as a used home salesman. Not sure how he got my number, and I’m not sure if he actually knew where I live, where the property is located.<br />n<br />nHe told me that inventory in the area was low, there is a…

I recently received my homeowners insurance bill, and decided to compare it to last year’s bill. There was a 3% increase. Not bad. But since I have my own opinions about insurance companies, I decided to call my <a href=”http://www.allstate.com/about.aspx?lid=ABOUTALLSTATE|AllstateOverview” title=”allstate about us”>Allstate</a> agent and ask why, especially with zero claims since the beginning of…
