2012 - Day 056 - A Very Compartment-Tight Day Ahead
Last Update: February 25, 2012

A Very Compartment-Tight Day Ahead.

I began my day cleaning the church building.  Though I started it earlier than usual, I still didn't get it done until after 1:00pm.  When I got home, I fell asleep and did not awaken until it was 15 minutes to the time Sharon and Don were due to arrive.

I still had loose ends in the camper so I used the time to take care of those things.  Fortunately I had completed everything before the telephone rang.

We had a great time in Ybor City at the Tampa Bay Brewery Company where we spent our time, ate and had two Cosmo drinks.  That got me under the weather.  We discussed Dad as he had come up in the conversations.  Before leaving for the restaurant, I had Don and Sharon in the camper where I played some of my Greek music to them.  They enjoyed them.  On the way to the restaurant I took them into the church building and showed them around.

After all this, I needed to get some coffee, so went to John's where I wound up the rest of the evening.

As I knew would happen, this would not be a productive day for any of my campaigns.

Notes:

Suggestion made via comment to put task content into tables.

I have been working bit by bit on an old project I had started over a year ago...my first contribution to the Wealthy Affiliate Training Area.  It is on the topic of working around employment and getting things in WA done!  The project is almost completed and will be published soon. 

My WA Spaces Daily Planner & Gratitude and Achievement Journal

  • Gratitude:  Visit with Sharon and Don went very well and I'm grateful for Sharon's health consciousness.  It is something the needs to rub off on me.
  • Today's Top Opportunity:  To be able to discuss things with Sharon and Don
  • What needs to be done today?
    1. Clean the church building.  Receive Sharon and Don.
    2. It is very unlikely I will be able to go into anything else besides this.  Things will automatically be moved forward into Sunday.  This space will continue to be occupied by GoPro campaign.
    3. Work on Larry's website and see if the Amazon Store can be resolved.  Try to get to Mike's campaign.
    4. Recode functions.php file or copy existing file from AHSMD to AHSup.  Work remains to be done with the Google Analytics plugin.
    5. Do the section on AHSMD Report.
  • What have I done today?
    1. Cleaned the church building.  Received Sharon and Don, Entertained them and then we went out to eat.
    2. As was noted above, there was no time to do anything other than the above.  Everything will be carried over to Sunday.



  • What Is My ToDo List for Tomorrow? (to be completed near the end of the current day.)
    1. Go to worship.  Paint John's bathroom. (not much to do here.)
    2. GoPro campaign:  Finish the page specified earlier.  Do other loose ends with this campaign.
    3. Work on Larry's website and see if the Amazon Store can be resolved.  Try to get to Mike's campaign.
    4. Recode functions.php file or copy existing file from AHSMD to AHSup.  Work remains to be done with the Google Analytics plugin.
    5. Do the section on AHSMD Report.
  • Plan B (To Be Done Should There Be Bad Weather or Other Interruption)
    1. Work further into the WABinars that can help me with my campaign.
    2. Deep-clean shower area.
    3. Do the Painting in John's Bathroom.  Moved up into Tomorrow's Agenda.
    4. Mix solution for bleaching of John's house and the outbuildings for algae removal.
    5. Work on pipe for hot water.
  • I appreciate the following Individual[s] because...  *Don --He has been showing a lot more friendliness towards me and much more respect.

What are five things I accomplished today?

  1. The camper is completed in all phases of declutter and cleaning!
  2. Took Sharon and Don into the church building so they could experience what they could of this.  I was able to discuss things they experienced and made not to them that there are no mechanical instruments of music there.
  3. It turns out that the water book I had evidently belongs to Sharon.  I was of the impression that I either had purchased this book or that it was given to me (by Sharon.)  Whatever the situation here, she has the book now and I have ordered a copy for myself.
  4. I have also ordered the first and fourth volumes of Divided Legacy.  I will need to order the second and third when I can.  These are must-haves in my library!
  5. Finally, I ordered another Robert Kiyosaki book about financial education and IQ.

My Task Bank

Solved Problems/Problems in works:

Green Font Denotes "Done." 

  • John wants the house pressure washed.  Also part of this deal is some painting to be done in his bathroom.  This is a small project that can be done fairly quickly.  John wants the house and buildings to be pretreated with chlorine and Spic & Span solution
  • Dirty and dusty conditions in camper.  I will be able to clean out this camper very well.
  • The breaker panel is missing a screw and it needs to be dusted.
  • John wants the roof pressure washed.
  • Purchase new mp3 player or get an external speaker for existing one...or both.
Unresolved Problems:
  •  Eventually the carpet needs to be torn out and replaced with the wooden flooring I have in the shed.
  • Roof leak in front of camper.  The roof is still leaking.
  • Septic problem.  Run a septic line to the main line from the house and tap into it.  It will cost about $100 for materials to do this.
  • Support for awning coming off.  Take the pressure off it by putting the awning all the way up and reinstalling it to the camper by putting a bolt and nut through however way it can be done.
  • Hot Water Source #1 Install a tankless water heater for about $218.  The water heater can be installed above where the bookshelf is now.  There will need to be adaptors for the camper's piping to the conventional on the heater.
  • Hot Water Source #2  I am currently working on a pipeline from John's hot water heater to the camper.  This other option will be kept here but is secondary to this latest development.
  • Broken windshield.  It will cost about $200 to have the windshield replaced.  Someone can come out and do it.
  • Camper will not start.  Not only does the camper need to be started, it also needs to be moved slightly so the tires to not rot.  The battery needs to be tested and then charged if still good.  If not, it's time for a new battery.
  • Auxiliary batteries dead or not charging.  The batteries need to be tested.  They did not take a charge when I tried last year.  New ones need to be purchased if this is the case.
  • Lawn mower has no place to be stored.  It needs to be stored back where it was and covered.  It is now covered with the mop pail.
  • Lawn mower will not run.  Needs new spark plug and other work.  The carburator probably needs cleaning.  Also the blade needs replacing with the new blade I had bought but never installed.  This has not yet been done.
  • Charging unit in this camper not functioning?  Find out if it is the batteries.  The charging unit may be just fine.  This has not yet been done.
  • AC unit for this camper needs to be reassembled.  Try to get the AC unit working.  It will be used on the hottest days, or at night.  Found the components having been sitting in water on the roof.  It appears they are destroyed.
  • AC unit cap needs to be fixed so it can be bolted down.  Figure out how to fix this so it can be bolted down.  Else it will fly off if on the Interstate or other highway.  This has not yet been done.
  • The water tanks and entire system in this camper needs to be drained and sanitized.  The problem with smelly water seems to have been in the long hose which is no longer in the system.  Though this sanitization still needs to be done, having changed the water line has fixed this problem.
  • John wants a new sidewalk put in. 
  • John wants a rubbish enclosure built. 
  • John wants new shutters put up on the side of the house. 
  • John wants that area landscaped. 
  • John wants the rose garden weeded. 
New Problems:
  • Carpenter ants have done extensive damage to the roof and other places in the camper.  They are so damaged that they need to be replaced!
  • Something needs to be done with one of my student loans.  It's about to go into default!

Sometimes you just have to let go and live your life. Taking time to socialize in the real world is a necessary task too. Constantly living online can be rewarding but isolating. I hope your visit with your sister was worthwhile.

I had a wonderful time with my Sister and her Husband, Don. I received them into my camper, which I had spent four days making presentable for them. I entertained them with the Markos Vamvakaris music, which they were fond of. We had a great time...and then they took me to Ybor City to the Tampa Bay Brewery, where we had beer-laden food and fine drinks. I topped mine dining off with a warm apple cobbler. Don had an upside-down pinapple cake and Sister had some sort of dessert that resembled blueberry oatmeal that had hardened somewhat. I forget what it was. We had a blast. I might put the pictures on tomorrow's blog post. My social life, and everything else in my life has been getting better. I can attribute all this to my mentor and to WA. Both are God-sends!
