I missed a blog update

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I just realized that I forgot to make a post for yesterday.  Truth is that there isn't that much going on right now to post about unless you wanna hear about my golf game. I have my trip to Salt Lake City later this week.  I'll finally get to see the ...

Turning $1 into $1,000: A Poker Goal – update #8

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Time for another poker update.  Again, I haven't been playing too much lately.  I got burnt out playing cash games so I switched over to Sit-n-go single table games during the past week. I've only played 2,000 hands since the last update in cash games.  I'm at $359.00 now, so I've ...

Hand stamped sterling silver copper jewelry

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Carpet cleaning, stretching and pool maintenance

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I just thought I'd make a general knowledge post related to home ownership.  I've had to clean and restretch a carpet for the rental home in Avondale before the tenants moved in.  I've also been dealing with green water in the pool for the past month.  The monsoons and sandstorms in ...

My tenant in SLC townhome#1 wants to stay

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

I get a call from my PM in SLC.  It's ironic that I get a call the day after I made the post about possibly firing them.  I wonder if they found my blog through the link I put in yesterday's post. Anyway, my PM says that my tenants in SLC townhome#1 who originally ...

General update

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Thanks for all your replies on my life insurance question.  After reading them and thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense for me to keep this policy.  The only I need to figure out is what the tax consequences are if I cash out. I'm heading to Salt Lake City ...
