I mailed the cutting board

I mailed the cutting board to S.A.H. yesterday. Yup, to Ultmast. $62.50 to box and mail it. I hope he likes it. I think it is pretty good, actually.

And today I am going to do some updating of www.stjohnvillarental.com so people can actually rent Meritage at the correct rates.

Mail stuff today

Today is the day to mail some stuff. Cutting board to Scott, and painting to DPB414141. Incidentally Vicki might have had some work done, as stuff looks extremely firm. Maybe she is just gifted, but I don't think so.

Rocks

The Upper Carolina Board met last night from 5-6:30, and I was the president. We got a lot of things handled, including the logistics of mailing out the newsletter.

However, we have an issue with parking. Some dinks are parking on somebody else's lot and causing erosion. All of this is illegal, of course, but there don't seem to be any enforceable regulations. Nothing in the covenants, as far as I can tell.

So we may dump a bunch of rocks on the area in question, and the problem will be solved. We call it "Erosion control area, no parking" and they won't suspect a thing, har har hardy har har.

But there are logistic problems with the rocks. Who can do it and when? How much? I guess that's why we get paid the big bucks for being on the board.

Tell you what

I'll tell you what.

What?

What. I told you I'd tell you what.

Work Today on SJVR

I am actually going to work today on www.stjohnvillarental.com, the finest web site in the history of villa rental web sites.

First will be get current with emails.
Second is enter the receipts into the spreadsheets.
Third is enter the new bookings into the spreadsheets.
Finally, if I have time, enter the specials.

Then I have to do the end-of-month billings.
Then I have to do the reverse billings.

Then I have to get all the photos and rates current.

I guess I better get going on it.

Another light fixture

I am going to install another light fixture today.

On Tuesday I am going to pick up tiles, and then I am going to put the tiles down where they were removed for the construction. And then I am going to put them down in other places as well, since I need to do that.

And then I am going to build some seating benches on my deck, against the railing. So I can have some seating for large parties. So there!

The Boston Red Sox Have Opened Spring Training

The Boston Red Sox, winners of more championships this century than anyone, have opened spring training with the best pitching staff in history.

Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, John Lackey, Clay Bucholz, and Tim Wakefield as 6 incredible starters, a bunch of relievers, and then Jonathan Papelbon as the best closer in all of baseball.

Incidentally, these anomalies continue to amaze - - -

"Batting from the left side of the plate" -- This actually means batting right-handed, since the left side of the infield is third base, and the left side of the outfield is left field.

"Runners at the corners" - - Since the bases are in a diamond (actually a perfect square), this has no meaning. Each base is one of the corners. What corners are the runners at?

"After x innings, there is no score" - - Actually, there is a score. Nothing to nothing. That is a score. 0-0.

"Best record in baseball" - - Wanna bet? There is some minor league, college, high school, little league, t-ball, or other team somewhere with a much better record. Probably a bunch of teams, including some undefeated teams.

"Tell you what" - - And then they never tell me what. They tell me something else instead.
