Upgraded my phone to oreo, and everything's alright. There's actually some minor improvements. I'm always leery about phone upgrades. Seems like things get worse, but this has worked out well so far.

Appraisal on the townhouse came in at $99K, paying $98.5K

Had a customer that was due for 3/2018, $900 balance. Went to her Dad's house. He brought me a payoff check.

Another idiot due for April...equifax gave me his new address for a whole .25 cents. I went and throat punched him.

All in all, a good day so far.:)

A quarter or a quarter cent?

As I approached a RR crossing today I laughed put loud as there was a sign reading, “Yield to Trains.” It made me very happy for awhile. :)

A horrible virus infected my work PC and wreaked havoc on the network, so now I don't have to work tomorrow! Three day weekend!

I went to the grocery store earlier today. They had some fresh baked apple pies sitting out, and I was immediately drawn to them for some reason. It's as if a hidden force gently took me by the hand and guided me to the pie stand. I knew I was meant to take a pie.

Then, a bit later in my quest, I was walking by the ice cream section and suddenly the vision made sense: My future was somehow intertwined with apple pie a la mode. I was relieved that it was a force for good, not for evil. I bought the most expensive vanilla ice cream I could find.

I just warmed up a piece of apple pie and scooped some vanilla ice cream next to it on a plate. It's heaven. When I die I must go to a place where apple pie a la mode is being served.

There is truly nothing greater in this world that a warm slice of apple pie served with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. Some things may be as great, but nothing is greater.

Ish... IMO apple pie is only good for fuckin (say "Like warm apple pie" as you hold two fingers up). Pumpkin pie is good though. Or cheesecake with blueberry/raspberry/blackberry topping. And yeah with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with it... yum.

For me, I guess that today is Friday and I'll be able to sleep in this weekend as the 'rents aren't visiting. Just make it through 3.5 more hours...

Rode my bike downtown and back and didn't get hit by a car. Did get called an idiot, though. :D

BTW, sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie.

I did some code optimizations to my game server and for once it actually went really smooth. Years ago I converted my Ultima Online server from flat file to MySQL but there was some stuff that was not that efficiently done, so I improved it recently. Also fixed a bunch of issues where if the server happens to crash at a critical moment, it corrupts the database. Just feeling great that my code is actually working as intended. :p
