That's a bit too far for me to commute, as otherwise I'd drop by to give you a hand. If I move a yacht into the garage and boathouse out back, maybe I can use your services. Comparing pictures the landlady sent me to older pictures from Google Streetview, I can see that the house has been recently completely remodeled and repainted and reroofed. I think she wanted to make a lot of money reselling it, but hasn't found a buyer. The kitchen has all new appliances. It looks like a good neighborhood. Sunny here in Tigard and a perfect 76F as of 4:00 PM. Had my weekly lunch with Kim today, and she's all gung ho about moving into the house. Hopefully no more sleeping out in the cold for her this winter. Double-A Nice catch, even if the neighborhood is somewhat iffy. Remember, most landlords take multiple photographs of everything before you move in, and perhaps you'll even get to initial some of those. So, it has to be as good or better at each annual inspection, or upon vacating.. That'll be easier said than done unless you live alone and hardly if ever invite anyone over. I found out I am renting from a very old lady who used to live there. She doesn't care about money. Double-A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That could be either good or bad, DA. Try to sign a lease good for at least a year at a time. You don't want to have the bad luck of moving in and then she croaks and her relatives send you packing after a month or two. Also please don't invite both Harlow and Hags over at the same time for the housewarming party. Harlow will probably use the AR-15 he gifts you on hags at the same time Hags tries to run down Harlow with his motorcycle - those boys don't know how to behave properly for a civilized party... G- Sunny and 91F here in Tigard as of 3 PM. A perfect 72F here inside the library. The house deal fell through! I realized in a nick of time that someone was trying to swindle me! The person I was corresponding with was using the name of the owner of the house, but said she couldn't meet me at the house because she was out of town on business. Then I discovered that the real woman who owns the house is 98 years old! Doubtful that she would be taking business trips! The person wanted me to send here a payment using a MoneyPak card which can can be bought at Walgreens, then sending her the information off the card and on the receipt. I went to the MoneyPak site where they displayed a big warning that if you used their card to send money in this manner to someone you had contacted through classified ad, it was almost certainly a scam! They said if you lost money that way, they would not refund you! My sniffing out the scam queered the deal! I am not a trusting man, which is why I am hard to cheat. It is too bad because I really wanted that house. But the deal was too good to be true, which made it suspicious to begin with. So no housewarming party. But when the time comes for me to have one, I'm only glad that Harlow and Hagar don't live anywhere near me! Double-A |

Double-A Amateurs with somewhat limited optics and as even obstructed by our polluted atmosphere can still manage to accomplish so much better mineral fluorescent color geology science than any observationology expertise of our NASA, JPL, and ASU has to offer, as even JAXA and our LROC mission have been totally color-blind and still as poorly dynamic range incapable as Kodak Film (so much so that they each must PhotoShop any color view of Earth along with their always monochromatic moon in the same frame of view(FOV), whereas any 5th grader can easily detect their ruse by simply replacing black with some other color or simply by using greater brightness of black more than does the trick. http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pSYvqyzqGNI/maxresdefault.jpg http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/fi...hmoon_crop.png http://www.danielegasparri.com/Inglese/moon.htm http://www.danielegasparri.com/Ingle...4_gasparri.jpg http://www.astronomie.be/christophe....lor/index.html As once again we get to see for ourselves, with the use of proper narrow bandpass color filters and proper composite image layer stacking, and otherwise by using only the natural colors as merely enhanced though not even accomplished by 10% as good as our NASA, JPL and ASU could have done for us as of decades ago from such an unobstructed close lunar orbit along with their heat and radiation proof Kodak film, and otherwise especially as derived from their spendy LROC mission that's still mostly colorblind. None the less, and once again from an amateur is where we get a full visual spectrum with its color saturation merely cranked up, offers a very look-see at what seems to depict a surface treasure trove of common and rare elements worth mining. Why minerals are colored: https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/acstalks/acs-colr.htm http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/learn/science4 On such a physically dark lunar surface, microbes and spores are going to be hard to detect, although with sufficient UV illumination could be rather colorful. |
