Well if future funds depend on past efforts then I'm about to experience a bunch of checks, I've had 5 days without checks this week and its been awful to live through. For my little company survive the daily expenses for data, fuel, internet etc I need daily small amount of cash to drift in, this week it has not drifted in at all. So I'm hoping tomorrow will turn things around.
However the orders have come in, my working board is totally full of orders, many of which need to be written up and others are waiting to be seen. I am deeply grateful to a loving God who has allowed me to have this kind of volume of work. Now to be responsible and get it seen and written up. Jessy, my faithful helper has agreed to come on Sunday to help and even though she will have to use the little laptop to do her work she will be an extreme help in the whole process.
So I drift off to bed tonight with a grateful heart knowing God is good, and all the time.
Love to all
Tim
A fun moment today was to catch up with Kallie as she went in the parade from her school to the little shopping center along with all the other children, all in costume and to collect candy from many businesses. Fun stuff indeed.

its great to have work
I'm afraid I don't get those people who dislike work, sure its fun to be lazy but after a few minutes it gets very old, seems we were created to be active and produce something.
So today I produced something, jumped up early, skipped the walk and found it cold in the house, no furnace will do that to a person. After a very warm shower I came down and made a decaf in my little Kurig and found the office nice and warm, heated by the computers that run all the time. I settled in a finished an appraisal that was bugging me last night, one from Stockton that was of a house located east of Highway 5 in area area with widely divergent quality of homes. Mine was good but no good comps to prove it. Finally got it done and out the door.
Left at 9 am for Suisun City, one hour drive, great place, I mean really nice and challenging to measure. Then to Dixon and an on time arrival another great place and nice seller. Then back to the office to discover a couple checks had arrived, I was so thankful to a loving God, I did the mobile deposit thing from my phone and tonight they are very much in the account, thank you Lord.
Tomorrow morning it is back out into the fray, a Livermore property with a lock box, no bothering anyone, just pull up and open the door, do the appraisal with no one in the way. Then to Mountain House to confirm that a house is completed, then back to the office to jam out as many reports as I can for the day. I just love to have work, it pays the bills and I have plenty of them these days!

Putting the week to rest
Dear family and friends,
Tonight the week finally comes to its close. What a week it has been, with many appraisals under my belt, many new owners met and enjoyed, many miles driven with safety and the chance to come home each evening in one piece. I am thankful for so much tonight and yet I always long for more, don't we all.
I am grateful that the pace of work has picked up, that new orders are coming in and that I'm healthy enough to do the work and keep up the pace. God is indeed good to us every one.
So tomorrow I think I'll be with the kids doing what they are doing, not totally sure of that yet but it can't be bad if it is with the sweetest kiddos in the world.
So I'm sending love to all
God is good and all of the time, He is strangely silent sometime when I long to hear His advice and counsel but I know He loves and cares for me, for us all and I am grateful for His forgiveness for our foolishness, our sins and His guidance and protection always.

Good day
As some people say any day you wake up alive is a good day. I went to bed at 2 am and was up at around 6:30 this morning, dealt with some issues successfully and then had a very good day, inspected a local duet on the water, same tenant for 16 years and the place was perfect, now being sold so poor guy has to move after all these years. Great people. Then onto a nice place in Brentwood, huge house was over 3600 sf, guy worked at home and a sitter was caring for children, very pleasant family and super nice house, $76,000 in upgrades when they purchased a few months ago.
Today was good to me in the mail and I thank God for the blessing. helped to clean up some bills that had been threatening. Gradually things are turning around, I'm being more productive and there are more orders coming in, 3 today alone. All good news.
Life is excellent right now, will explain more later.

Terrific day
Every minute of this day has been packed with meaning. Many new orders are in, I've seen 4 properties this afternoon and only arrived home a few minutes ago. yet I thrive on getting work done and so I'm pleased tonight.
I also possess a secret that will remain a secret for two more days but it gives me a great deal of pleasure to consider it.
God is so good in His blessings, this morning I woke to find that a major client had dumped a good amount into my account with direct deposit. I earned it and have been working very hard to keep them happy lately and so the relationship is working out well.
Well I'm still trying to get something done tonight so I'd better do it.

good day
nice time of year, a little sprinkle on the windshield, a good inspection of a little house, work being set up on my desk, many mochas later I'm heading to bed now. had a great dinner with mixed veges, brown rice, a little thin butter and soy sauce, some little sausages mixed in and good eating for sure.
Tomorrow I'm in the field again.
Let me tell you a sad story, Tim pulls up at a house in Dixon, the loquacious owner comes out and chats me up, Tim starts measuring and forgets to take the front photos of the house. Now tonight I'm writing the report, all done and ready but no front photos so back to Davis I go tomorrow, not fun but I'll go on my way to Richmond and get the two photos shot, even a veteran with 30,000 of these inspections under the belt can forget easily at times. I just hate to vary my routine, it never fails that I'll forget something then, like if the homeowner says, can you do the inside first, bad idea since you need the outline of the house to put all the inside rooms in place. Anyway it keeps me humble. Some money came today, so thankful for that, always grateful for new orders, they came today as well.
Ray and Lois came home finally, so glad to have them back, good friends. Get this, a circuit board failed in their relatively new clothes washer. They just bought a new machine for less than the board replacement plus no one had the board to sell even. So with discount they pay $300 for a washer and the board was over $400. Figure that one out!

I'm wrapping up now but I've been at this computer all day trying to get work out and fix things that have already gone out.
Life is not easy right now, money is tight and I've been happier but I know God is good.
Hoping for a good week for all of us.

Beautiful day
Oh this time of the year is so nice weather wise. My face is feeling the affects of sitting at a 1 hour soccer game today in the sunshine, I got a bit burned. But it was enjoyable to see the little girls race around chasing the ball, Keanna's team got slammed by a superior team with a couple girls that are twice as tall as Keanna. But Keanna knows how to scrap and stay in the fray and kick and even has made a goal earlier in the year.
This evening I was in Tracy so found myself at the bar at Olive Garden where I enjoyed bowl of soup and some salad. I was wedged between two couples and the wait for a table was an hour, no thanks. The food was good and I got to listen to love in action, fun stuff.
Just had a nice conversation with Jerry, earlier to Art who leaves for a trip tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a work in day to see how close I can get to being caught up with work. I'm going to bed soon now and catch a full night of rest.

Busy week
Dear Friends and family
What a busy week with orders coming in like old times. This is a nice time of year with the summer heat abated and fall in the air. During this week I popped a hose in the bug and had a stressful night getting home with the heater on full and the sunroof open to take out the heat. God was good and its only a minor repair, less than $200 and probably on Monday if time can be arranged.
This has been a slim week for accounts receivable so that part is not fun but God has been good in many ways and given me health again, great nights of slumber and raccoon free evenings. Well until tonight when Pooka barked, I ran to look and there were little raccoon eyes looking in at me through the slider. The little critter did not leave until I ran at the door and then it bounded away. Very bold and they love my dog food.
Well the Sabbath is here at last. Its always nice to catch a change of pace.

A big day
Worked until 2 am this morning getting out an important report. Up at 7 and started working again after a Starbucks run, got two reports out today and then left for the field to see two homes this afternoon, one 3600 SF and bank owned, so sad what people can do to a home.
Now heading to bed, very tired but happy. Several new orders in today, a huge blessing and from companies that pay promptly!

Blessings and challenges
The challenge came when suddenly a red light came on in the green bug, engine was overheating and with an aluminum engine you don't have long to get it cooled down. So I turned the heater on full blast, opened the sunroof so the heat could escape and found water, I slowly added the water to the overflow tank and soon the red light went out. I limped over the Ray and Lois's home where I was meeting them and we went to dinner, then Ray gave me a gallon bucket of water and I headed home with the heater blazing. About half way home at the top of a hill the red light came on again so with the engine running I poured water into the over flow tank again and the light went out. It did not come on again.
I think I hit a curb just wrong to a driveway and cracked the radiator or cut open a hose and shortly later my problems began to take place.
The day went great, up at 6:30, around the lake, oatmeal with banana and then cranking out work, setting up appraisals and finally leaving to see three properties, one in Livermore, the next in San Ramon and finally in San Jose. God was good to me today and traffic moved nicely.
Upon arriving home this evening some money came in the mail, I am so thankful, the bank needs the infusion.
Sending love to all
Very thankful for a safe trip home without further mishap.

Busy day
Busy day
I started with a 3 mile walk, then did research then hit the road for Vallejo, Fairfield and finally Stockton, all in all a good working day. The little car ran fine, I'm listening to a good book, a gripping one about a police force in the 70s and the weather was not bad. During the middle of the afternoon I remembered I had not eaten any lunch so I found a Starbucks drive through and while I was at the window asked if I could have a grilled cheese. They had three left, well I only needed one and it was very good, a huge slab of whole wheat bread, three kinds of cheese and with an iced decaf over ice I was set. The iced decaf lasted until I got home and until this evening when I had some brown rice and peas with corn and soy sauce I managed just fine.
Last night during the evening I heard Pooka bark once. I went out and discovered that raccoons had come in, as I looked down at the family room there was one looking up at me and he could not get out, so I went down and opened the slider and thought he went out, this morning the raccoons had opened the dog door, not an easy process and had made a huge mess, opened up a dog food sack of unused food, turned the water dish into mud and eaten a lot of food, the floor was a huge mess. I was so upset just to have them in the house, they are dirty and getting more and more friendly, got to get one of them trapped and take him far away out in the field somewhere else. Sick of them running around here.
So tonight the house gets buttoned up even tighter, you can count on that.
Well I'm wishing everyone a good Columbus day tonight,
Love to all

Nice day - had Kallie and Keanna
Good evening
This morning Kallie and Keanna and I went to church. The girls enjoyed their time with their leaders and I really appreciated the adult SS class I attended.
Then we drove to Olive Garden in Stockton where we met up with Bob, our dear friend and had a great lunch together. Then we came back to my house and the girls relaxed with their computer games and walked the dog.
Later we took a little trip over to Toys R US in Antioch searching for just the right gift for a certain little girl who is turning 4 tomorrow. Then I returned the girls to their loving parents who were enjoying watching the Giants win another game. Upon arriving we learned that Kona, their 17 year old kittie had passed. The girls were very sad over her death and spent some time thinking about all the fun times they had had with her over the years.
Then I came home and have spend the evening in the office.
I certainly need your prayers as I face the near future. Oh how I need to know clearly the mind of God and His leading even over the next few days. I do want to express my appreciation for the kindness of my friends and family, what a blessed life to have such great people around me.

Friday night arrives
Good evening,
I'm on the way to bed now, been a busy productive day, nail in the tire, horrible traffic, wonderful little home with an 85 year old jazz singer who is doing clubs and festivals now but was only discovered 8 years ago. They gave me his album and what a talent he is. Its fun to meet people and see their very clever homes with lots of thought put into them.
This morning I wrote an appraisal, then wrote a second one and suddenly it was time to hit the road to drive to Richmond, that is never a fun drive but it was OK today, coming home was very slow and people seem to bunch up on the highways in the most unusual places, then suddenly everyone is going 70 once again.
Tomorrow is Twins Sale for Nikki, twice a year she enjoys helping out and selling hundreds of items there. I'll have the girls for Sabbath School in Tracy and then we'll find lunch someplace, might meet up with Bob for lunch, that would be great.
On Sunday Mia turns the next year in her life. Only yesterday she was born and now she is this very exciting little person that can charm you so easily with her smile and happy ways.
God is good and He continues to bless in my life.
Love to all

God is good, not just part of the time, not just on Sabbaths, no He is good all the time!
What a day, walked my 3 with Pooka, then showered and hit the desk to work, morning appointment cancelled out so just kept working. Decided to take a run to Oakland to do a driveby that turned out to be a duplex. Went and shot the photos, then back home to find a check, so I used my camera and deposited it to the account.
Then the rush orders started to come in. One ended up being an appointment at 5:30 today back in Concord, nice place, unusual people. Then it was dinner time so the Old Spaghetti Factory came into focus. Great meal
Now home and bedtime looms.

Good evening
So last night I slept well again, didn't wake till after 7 this morning, felt rested and jumped up for my walk, it was good in the cool morning breezes. Then back to shower and have breakfast.
I settled in to write up reports today, I had hoped for 5 but I'm on #4 now and its bed time. Still I'm pleased that I was able to crank out what was needed today and I'm pretty much on time for things.
I also enjoyed getting new orders today and having a nice direct deposit in the bank this morning, all in all it was a very good day.
This evening Lois and Ray invited me to bring a griller over and have BBQ with them, it was good and a nice break from the routine of the day.
God is blessing in so many ways and I thank Him for that. I know He has my best interests at heart, its a good feeling.

A very special Sabbath
It started with a nice walk this morning, I've managed to patch the holes where Pooka has been escaping, she was out almost every morning at the front door. This morning she was home so I rewarded her by taking her on the walk. She did great.
Came home and decided to knock a little dirt off the Civic, was in the middle of it when Nikki called to say I could take Kallie to SS if I wanted to, well of course I wanted to so I changed plans and we got to SS on time. In fact Kallie was the first child there.
George and Yvonne invited me to join there class discussion and it was excellent today. Great teacher, great and learning experience with everyone entering into the comments and ideas. I found it to be a very good use of my time, thanks church for having the class.
Kallie had to go to Oakley, the other direction so we drove there to a place called Pump It UP. Its a warehouse with jumpy devices that are powered by air pumps and kids climb them and slide down. Talk about fun, there were about 16 kids there and they all had a super time, then it was pizza and cupcakes, then it was open presents time. Well our little 6 year old boy got among things a 32 inch flat screen TV and a computer, wow!
So I had some fun today with family and friends, at church and this evening with Ray and Lois at McDonalds.

A week to remember
Wow, here we are with Friday night at last. For me this week has had some very low points and some incredibly moving ones. And it ends with a positive tone. God has blessed with orders, safe trips to see properties, money in the mail and very loving help from friends. Without any details this has been a warm week from friends who have stepped in to help in amazing ways! Outcomes would have been much different without generous help. Oh God help me to remember to do the same in the future when I encounter others with needs that I can assist with.
One financial challenge that I've been facing for weeks is met tonight and I'm so thankful for that. Its so hard to remember to be as thankful to God after His help as when begging Him for guidance and help. Oh that we could begin to love like God does, we fall so short of His ability to love in appropriate ways, to know when and how to intervene. We blunder through our days trying to do His work but He does it so perfectly and loves through it all.
I'm facing the reality of needing to sell my Civic. Its a second car and I love it, great car and super on fuel, up to 39 mpg and runs like a top but I need to pay back my friends who have loaned me money over the last few months and this is a way I can do it. There won't be enough money from the Civic, worth about $4500 but it will certainly help to repay their kindness to me. This week God has helped me find the pink slip for the Civic, it has a new windshield so I'm getting there to a point of selling it.
Well its time to consider going to bed now.
Hope your weekend and your Sabbath gives you a chance to recharge your spiritual and emotional batteries. If you have someone you love with you, let them know how you feel, to often we let chances to speak up slip by, one never knows when they will no longer have those chances. I know from experience.
Love to all

One financial challenge that I've been facing for weeks is met tonight and I'm so thankful for that. Its so hard to remember to be as thankful to God after His help as when begging Him for guidance and help. Oh that we could begin to love like God does, we fall so short of His ability to love in appropriate ways, to know when and how to intervene. We blunder through our days trying to do His work but He does it so perfectly and loves through it all.

Busy day
God is good, all the time
This morning I had an appointment with the sleep studies department in Martinez of Kaiser. the lady was great and I ended up with a new mask, I love it, light weight and so soft, I have a new machine to try for a week and then return to them. Took some time and $45 co pay but I'm good.
Money in the mail but so many places to put it right now, so many.
Thankful for a new order which came in the afternoon and I saw it this evening and am back home with the field work completed. Great little condo.
Ellen and I are working things through right now for a meeting in Chicago using a ticket Dana supplied to me. We are just praying about how to work everything out.
Please pray for us and if you feel so moved we need funds to pull the trip across the US off.
Do pray that God will guide please.
