Sacramento Rental Inspection Program

Does it not disturb people to sign a paper saying, "I VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO AN INSPECTION," when there is a consequence of getting fined if you don't "VOLUNTEER"? Scary! Nothing voluntary about that. Sounds like blackmail.

I think people are missing the Nazi point here: Volunteer or you will face consequences (a fine) and WE (the government) will still do what we want. Freakin' SCARY!!!!!!

Bottom line: extorting money out of landlords. Why isn't the current Code Enforcement taking care of this supposed problem of substandard rental conditions?

hmmm, it's been a while

Regarding not having anything to defend yourself with:

After I beat their fists to a pulp with my face and stomach, I pounded their feet with my testicles and kidneys until they left with only my watch, wallet and keys. But I didn't tell them where my car was parked and I didn't have any cash in my wallet so I taught them a lesson.

Digital TV Switch

Disclaimer: I've put back a few....

Okay, maybe I'm an idiot and don't know the "secret" way to hook up this new digital tv crap, but it's not working. I bought the converter box and a special antenna but still not getting ANYTHING. I live in a rural area and I was excited to get the switch because of the promise of "a clearer signal." Well, I got nothing. Now I'm hearing about people putting $200 antennas on their roofs to get a little reception.

RANT: This is a bunch of crap!!!!! The one channel I had is now gone! Guess I should just get satellite TV now along with my "screw me in the a**" satellite internet connection with download thresholds and sometimes spotty quality. What a JOKE!!! This sux!!! Maybe I should move back into the city. HAHA, Heck NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Side note: got a good deal on two $20 car covers at Costco today!

New(ish) Car for us

2001 VW Golf. 2.0L. Basic commuter with the extra doors for easy kid access. Have to put off my dreams of a sporty commuter again. Oh well, at least it's the Golf body style I like best. The headlights are just too SEXY! Oh yeah, IT'S A MANUAL! Wohoo! Maybe when these brand new tires wear out I'll look at getting some different rims.

long time, no post.....time to change things up

Since I can't come up with things to post I think I'm going to just start posting things that I fix. :)

...................

Starting with our 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee and its lighting problem. The interior lights were flickering on and off randomly. I thought it was the headlight switch so I took it all apart and cleaned it up. Didn't fix the problem. So I started checking the door switches. It ended up being the rear window hatch switch. I was going to buy a new switch, but after a few tests I found that the switch wasn't really bad, the bracket just needed a little adjusting. So I pulled out my handy Channel Lock pliers!!!!! The bracket pinched together a small bit and now I have a nice connection when the window is closed. Problem solved.
