Officially the longest i have ever stayed alive. Quite proud of myself. Even if this is on a much easier server than the previous puppet infested monstrosities.... In this episode I find lots of bullets, then I found not one but two hanguns! Huzzah!!! Then I realise that I have every type of bullet except the .45 ACP that I need. #bollocks So, its time to visit another town and see what I can find... oh and stay alive on the way. It's going swimmingly until the Bird comes in and demands I take her to Lunch #howrude ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcR-IjRgjIo
After two years of renting this lovely house its time to move out. It's been a great house, in a great neighborhood but (unfortunately) rented from a not-so-great company called "Remax Advantage - Summerlin". Probably not the worst rental company in the world, but certainly the worst that I've used over the last decade of renting since moving to USA. Any contact with them, leaves a sour taste from their unprofessional handling of all reported problems, ignoring phone calls, voicemails and never replying to emails unless its to demand timely payment of rent.
REMAX - Only interested in collecting rent. Not interested in maintaining the property:
I gave up reporting the problems we had in the house, because none of the issues were ever addressed. The only time Remax sent a handymen to fix the various issues - the handymen arrived, fixed one problem, looked at the others, promised to return with parts and left. Never to return.
Here is a copy of the letter I sent/voicemailed/emailed/mailed a dozen times when I first moved in back in 2018.
"I’ve had no response to my three emails reporting these problems, so I am resorting to mailing this letter.
Remax has never given me a move-in inspection and although there are no major problems with the house I do have number of smaller problems I would like to report: Lots of damage spots and problems like blown bulbs and rear yard electrical problems to report.
House Issues
• Dishwasher intermittently shows an E24 error code – pump fault.
• Multiple in-roof bulbs do not work
• Microwave Lightbulbs over hob do not work

• Front Guestroom Blind cord is not working
• Heavy chip on external pillar in front of garage door
• Front Door latch is faulty and sometimes sticks (leaving door unlocked)
• Carpet is very frayed on entry to downstairs main bedroom – this needs covering with something or it will spread.
• Master bathroom has holes in wall from a previous tenant’s removal of TV mount?? (Guessing).
• Shower rubber seal is broken and needs replacing.
• Small hole behind door in downstairs entry toilet
• Kitchen skirting board has what looks like cat scratches on it?
• Hob gas lighter intermittently does not work on front hob
• Living room gas fire does not work. It will not light.

Morning walkies with Bailey (aka 'pookie') on Sullivans. It was a beautiful spring morning and fun giving him a swimming lesson. Just a month later he is already a much more confident doggie paddler.... now I have to keep the crazy hound OUT of the water rather than entice him in ;)

Some midnight motorcycle anarchy during a cold September evening in France 2002 comprising Triumph motorcycle engine abuse, backfires, rev limiters, flaming exhausts and bang-bang-banging Rob got his camcorder out.
Cast of Characters:
Eric with his pride and joy 955i - banging, popping and snarling
Me on the far left shooting flames from the silver daytonas underseat exhaust
Bang-Bang-Brian living up to his name
Cab backfiring the exhaust while two French guys light cigarettes of the flames (Honestly!)
Gary forgetting that he had just given the engine a serious overhaul two days previously
Johnnie and his rear tyre burnout into the campfire
Remember kids - It's not big and it's not clever
