It is a cloudy and maybe rainy morning. I have gone about 36 hours without much food. I hope there is a significant drop in my poundage. I may have to do this a couple of times to knock off about fifteen pounds. It is so easy to get out of control. I need to make a decision about what to do with that book that was sent to me and should have been sent to Schimmele. I am not sure what is going on at the scalehouse. There might be a couple of trucks for pellets and some more containers. I will check in again with Mikey. I just wonder how much longer they are going to be in Portland. They are such a changeable group that they could be any place in two months. I just cannot get too bummed out with their behavior.

I heard from Steve and Nancy. Nancy’s big thing was that Riley tried to commit suicide last night and is in the hospital. I never thought he was too stable and I really feel sorry for Sam. He deserves a better guy. Then Steve responded to the notice of Joel’s blog. I was surprised that he enjoyed reading his stuff. It seems that according to Ellen Paul is about as conservative as his dad. I really cannot see why he would prefer McCain to either Clinton or Obama. Business has been fairly slow. I had a couple of trucks – one guys especially was sort out of it.

I called Mikey at five thirty and got voice mail. I called at seven fifteen and after some rings Mikey came on and was in good shape. He said something about seeing me on Friday and then there was some conversation. And he came back on to say that if he behaved himself he could mess around with me. There was a very pregnant quiet time. I was really pissed off. I told him I saw no reason we could not see one another. Later on I tried to call Katie back and got her voicemail again. I told her I was very upset with the conversation I had with Mikey and it was important and she talk to me as soon as possible. I plan to let her know that my coming and going is not going to be using me as some sort of threat. What a diabolical bitch. I guess I might as well get ready to part the ways because I am not going to be a puppet on a string for her or anyone else.
