Happy Birthday gramps! Since you're up early, I hear Spires serves a wicked breakfast. Mmm mmm just love gumming me some bran muffin.

Luckily for me, sleep is still a close intimate friend. Not in the biblical sense mind you. Maybe just the occasional petting. Hmmmm the embrace of unconsciousness.

VASL

Enron, Art, and Mike (and maybe even Jon, considering he has played ASL with more than everyone!): Go here, and download VASL.

Then go here, and download the scenario setups for ASLSK.

Then go here and download all the boards for ASLSK.

Then either get your Skype up and running, or call my cell phone and tell me when you wanna play, and we can type through the program.

I got the rules, which are really not that bad, and we can get some wargamin' on over teh net! You can also save the game state at anytime so it is easy to pick up for a turn or two here and there.

Do it!


BTW: Does anyone else play the "Yeah, Bush TOTALLY died on that hit, nah, not that one, not that one, DAMN!!! Broke his neck on that one! Game" using the fine Bush Ragdoll link? Man, I have been playing it for hours it seems....

It's actually rather cathartic.

EDIT: And this again 'cause it's funny!!! (sometimes slow to preload)

That IS a sweet hat. I wish I had one for Enron to wear.

Sleep-wise, I've found that I like getting up early now. If I wake up at 7:30 on a weekend, I'm stoked because that means I have more time to enjoy my precious day off. I can't sleep in the way I used to but I just don't mind.

What I do mind is taking forever to get over being sick... man it used to take me a few days to shake off a cold. Now it's like going on a nice long vacation, a vacation of sickness. I've had this thing for a week and it keeps getting better, then worse, then worse, then better. Blagh!
Speaking of birthdays.. best birthday hat evar?

NUMBA ONE!
Sleep

Do any of you find it harder and harder to sleep in anymore? After 6:30 this morning I just rolled around frustrated I couldn't sleep. Booo....

Keep your self entertained and relieve stress. Check out the Bush Rag Doll site.

Ohhhh shit! You're all fucked now! Meet Prankston Pranser, 1st level gnome illusionist! He'll cast Nystul's Undetectable Aura on his magical gnome cock and use it to bone yo momma on the sly! He enjoys going into the dungeon, finding treasure, fighting a monster, and boning yo momma on the sly. He wears leather armor with armor spikes added to it and when he runs out of spells, it's grapplin' time! With a 16 Constitution he's got enough stamina to last the whole fight or the whole night! His alignment is "fuck you."

Excited about this dungeon crawlin' campaign!
Happy birthday to Enron! Yeah, I could go out and have fun with you tonight! Instead I think I'll stay in and be sick! Huzzahr.

Pump I am moved by your bard. In fact I may make a bard as well! Mine will be a gnome, however. I think I will print out a character sheet and see what happens!
happy life-day enron!

laserspewpewpew!
Man, I thought even today "Mmm.. Aaron's birthday is coming up soon" Completely failing to realize that it's November 4th already. Jesus. Happy birthday you old fahhhrt.


Eric, to be honest.. we've got a nice mortgage rate as an "owner occupied" dwelling which means that refinancing and/or selling it right this second just wouldn't be prudent. If I was still living up in Washington, I'd be buying up as many four unit complexes as I could, with the intent of consolodating into a 12-24 unit as property values continue to climb. But, so much for that idea. Heh.

It's still something I'd like to do in the future, however. Especially as the housing bubble will be crapping out in the next 4-5 years.. it'd be a very good window of opportunity to get in just before that blows out.
Today infact

Dr. Gina is the December man. Im so old now I fart dust.

When Did You Turn 31?!?

I thought your birthday was in December.

Yeah, Art have you thought about selling your place in WA and moving your cash elsewhere, maybe into a du/4/8/12-plex somewhere? Or are you guys happy with the rent you are recieving and it would be too much of a pain in the keister to deal with selling the place with baby/school/job/Vegas?

Curious is all.
I am old. 31, D'oh.

O Rugs & Elzar : I suppose I didnt answer the main question did I. Mostly because I am not sure. I mean, I have learned quite a bit. Yet, I am far removed from a lot of the action so I am not sure how much I am missing. I have to imagine the worst parts are hidden from my view of the process. SO I guess at this point I would say I do not know enough. Or more to the point, I know enough now to be dangerous.

Pump: I like the cut of your Jib.

Priceless!
Still avoiding teh work.

Already have my character rolled up and ready to go!

Dude.. Aaron is on a ROLL. LOL.


Property Management III

I, too, have quite a bit of experience working with property managers and whatnot through my years as a commerial insurance guy. It's a highly lucrative business, especially if you can grab some mid-range property in a growth area. Depending on how deeply you are leveraged, you can very often see positive cash flow immediately on an existing property acquisition. I, too, am looking towards such an investment for the future. Of course, with the stock market being what it is these days, and interest rates being what they are.. so is everyone else. When interest rates go back up and people get cozy with stock investments again, the real estate market won't be so cut throat or volatile.

BTW, Aaron.. you didn't answer the most important of Eric's questions, me thinks. =)
