  • 20110118-Noticing Numbers

    Recently, TPTB and pals (albeit “thoughtful” aliens and magicians alike) have made their presence known through numbers. They have been humoring moi too many times. And I’ve been neglecting to enter my blog posts for each event.

    Tonight, as I sat down to drive off from work, I saw my odometer read 70,222 while the speedometer read 933. Yesterday, at the same back parking lot to my “temp job from hell”, the numbers might have read 70,111 and 911, respectively. Again, the numbers are usually double to triple digits.

    And before I forget, a nice heart in the shape of a dried, brown-colored leaf the size of my thumbnail was at my foot and a few yards in front of the back doors to the “temp job from hell”. I recall seeing an unmoving bee on the sidewalk near the intersection in front the building during one of my mid-afternoon walk there.

    This morning was temporarily patchy blue skies with some fluffy, puffy clouds of white while I did some yard work: I used the electric blower to clean up the freshly blown eucalyptus leaves of two days now, twigs, branches and other leafy debris off the backyard and front yard, whereupon I saw our VERY first graffiti on the sidewalk near the side gate to MY long stretch of road since the building of this neighborhood over thirty years. It could be magic symbols or something! I may wish to call the city to have them remove this photographic treasure.

    Yesterday, the clouds were covering the sunshine during the mid-day. But during my mid-afternoon walk I saw some sunshine, but the air was freezing. I got a chance to see my dandelion roars that day and the day before. There were ground covers of little yellow flowers, clovers, purple-speckled bushes and some pink ones too.

    I was happy to see how they sprouted well among the short grass which covered the dirt-filled landscape near my “temp job from hell”. The trees have shed their dried leaves. The gardeners blew the small brown leaves from their cozy location at the base of each tree. That would have provided a nice warm cover for some of the exposed root systems of the trees and shelter for the little critters, which I saw today. Well it was one red beetle crawling on the sidewalk and one bees crawling on the concrete of the back parking lot. I don’t know why I didn’t stop to pick it up and place it on a flower for nectar. I’m stupid sometimes.

  • Blue Smock

    So it’s around 10:00am and the tall guy walks by and flicks out his tongue. Is everyone here a reptoid?

    Anyway, Hoan and I had one hour of break because the system was going through maintenance from 9:00am to 10:00am. In the meantime, we talked to three assembly folks, who were eating their food in the lunchroom downstairs.

    Two of them gave us a tour of the place. We saw the finished goods area and the four doors for the trucks to come by almost daily at the shipping and receiving area. They don’t pick-up during weekends or holidays, though.

    A few years ago, the place downstairs was packed full of people – around 600 – and lots of machines. Now it’s just four people working the machines. Only a few are maintenance who clean the machines, too. We learned of one who was a supervisor but he moved upstairs, just like the other guy.

    The shifts are nights and graveyards from 4 to 5 or 3 to 4. They get paid regular and noone complains because there are always temporary workers willing to work those hours for the pay. It’s why I’m here, too. I don’t complain even if the boss says to work on weekends.

    Then we saw the “queen of the board” working on small one and big ones, too. There used to be three people in her area. One was her sister who got laid-off in November of last year.

    This older lady is very cordial and gave us a tour of the machines that test her boards, which she assembles based on the customers requirements and specifications. Some customers are overseas, by the way. Her desk is just behind the lunchroom.

    She wished me well to have a full-time job at the place so I could qualify for the stocks in February. I gave a hug for good luck, too.

    So the both of us left and I got me a blue smock, too! Hahaha! It’s large in size, compared to the small-sized incentive to slim down so more like a wraith-like model. All I need now is a nice embroidered name tag. The third guy left for the day.

  • New Gardening Tool

    Yippie! Earlier today, Paw and I went to Lowe’s. He bought me a new leaf blower for $35.00. It’s a Troy-Bilt® Electric Blower (Model number: TB180B). It is red colored.

    Yesterday, I dropped the old leaf blower. It was a Weed Eater® Electric Blower (Model number: 2510/2540/2560/2570/2595). Three of the plastic fan blades broke off. It was green colored.

    My fingers were slightly slick from plum juice. And as a result, the unit slipped of my right hand and fell to it’s demise on the cement while I was blowing eucalyptus debris of seeds, twigs, leaves and branches.

  • 20100218-Forty Fours

    I was humming the `Christian` tune to `Forty Days, Forty Night` while the upstairs window to my computer room was open. I could hear that nasty Juan working in the backyard again. Earlier I had blasted some guitar rendition of `Chi Mai` out through the same window.

    Anyway here is my poem in rant regarding the incident with LoLinda and him the other day:

    FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS

    INSANE PEOPLE ALWAYS FIGHTS

    SPRINKLE THEM OR BURN THEM UP

    MAYBE THEN THEY WILL SHUT UP

    HOLY WATER IS THEIR BAIN

    FIRE BRIMSTONE CAUSES PAIN

    SPRINKLE THEM OR BURN THEM UP

    MAYBE THEN THEY WILL SHUT UP

  • 20100203-Accessing Illegal

    Right now, Maw and Paw are over-hearing through our shared fence with the next door neighbor (1335), a possible assessor from the city of San Jose. Last year, the second husband had build an extra room AND a toilet, connecting to the extended patio, which was built during the time of the first husband. These extra rooms are for the illegal’s blue-eyed, soft-spoken, broken-English speaking Honduran mother.

    I recall the spew from cement and water upon my gray-colored, Ford mustang car. The guy and another person were sawing the driveway horizontally to make room for the underground PCV pipes of the toilet in the backyard. I think the patio went too close to both our side and the recently sold house next door to them of the fence (as per a photo showing a white kitty cat sitting on the fence on my Flickr.com account).

    Earlier between 12:00pm and 12:30pm today and while the three of us were cleaning up Maw’s orchid containers, we heard the loud hum of a light aircraft buzzing overhead, making several passes to until the quiet in the skies around 12:20pm. Then around 12:25pm we heard some low voices of males speaking on their side of the fence.

    Addendum-Last edited by flynnsblogs on Wed, 03 Feb 2010 at 12:40:43 pm: While eating lunch with gusto from gardening for two hours and under the sunny, clear blue skies of cool air, Paw and Maw reported that the city accessor told the next door neighbor to remove the patio away five feet (or is that `foots`?) from our shared fence!

  • 20091024-National Chemtrails

    [Flynn’s comments: While blowing lots of loose dust from the backyard and after sweeping the dead leaves of over one week prior to lunchtime today since I started working last Monday, chemtrails were triangulating over MY home! I ignored it, smiled, thought of sylphs and continued my yard work.

    I’ve finished my blow job (sorry for the pun) at around 02:22pm and noticed that the chemtrails that were formed overhead about a half hour have since been blowing in a general SSW direction. Some sylphs are present. Boosting is requested.

    I now smell something funny in the air. Oh, hark! Is that the reason why people are getting flu-like symptoms from chemtrails that they innocently breath? Yes!

    Statistically speaking as per the spewing trolls on Fox News and pals, one thousand H1N1 related deaths justifies over 11.5 million people to be vaccinated with strange substances and through painful needles! It doesn’t make sense to continue this BIOLOGICAL WARFARE: DEATH TO AMERICA!

    I don’t like children crying. I see pictures of them enduring the receipt of these vaccination shots. Maybe they are good as dead and by TPTB and their pro-death, NWO agenda has fostered in another one of their hair-brained schemes to control the population of HUMANS.

    Maybe the world is not round but flat. Maybe they are trying to destroy Jesus again just as Herod had done in Biblical references from the past. Maybe the REAL MESSIAH is truly coming. But surely we don’t know but the Father. Maybe we are all doomed as predicted. Meh!]

    And that’s why:

    Sunny, clear blue skies. Attended morning mass as usual. Came home this morning to find divorced nutter who was wearing her long sleeping gown and waiting in her garage. Checked mailbox in afternoon, deposited last government help and waved to the blue-eyed Señora next door. Swept up fallen leaves caused by naughty squirrels, which dug holes in soil from hanging containers of gardenia! Bad!

  • 20091009-Weathery Ways

    Awoke to cold and low gray clouds. Now sunny, clear blue skies with coolness after awakening to afternoon nap of one hour. Swept leaves from backyard earlier this afternoon, not speaking to visitor. Saw little baby birds bathing in birdbath earlier this mid-morning after attending morning mass and shopping for watermelons, Filipino eggplants at SeaFood City, vitamins at CVS, and food at Valerio Bakery.

    Slightly warm past few days. Dirty cloud look this morn but sunny, clear blue skies later. Been cooking outdoors, propane BBQ chicken 1hr while sweeping leaves.
