Moved to Shelton, WA on Monday, the 15th of January of 2018, which just so happened to be Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I returned to America around Thanksgiving 2017 after teaching English in Vietnam for 5 years from 2012-2017. So, I went back to living with my dad in the trailer I grew up in in Forest Grove, Oregon. So, I went back to working in landscaping for dad. I would attend the Dilley Bible Church, mostly. So, like I said, I hopped on an Amtrak train on MLK Day and journeyed from Portland and towards Seattle. Moved in with my mother. The next day, helped Larry cut down like a tree near the burn pile and trampoline. That month, I did some web design for Larry's Shelton Music LLC website which is for his music store. I started attending the Mountain View Alliance Church in Shelton, WA. We took some junk to the dump on the 19th. We changed the lights in the big garage probably that same month. I began organizing things. I was taking photos of stuff. Made some videos.

Maybe in December of 2017 - Around this time, I bought a Seagate Backup Plus external hard drive (HDD) device at Walmart in Cornelius, OR.

2017-12-20 - Wednesday - Around this time, I was partitioning my drive and may have deleted partition and data by mistake.

So, early in 2018, I was writing about how I was trying to fix it and everything.

China Man Portland

07:00 AM - I went with dad to Portland, OR. We probably stopped by 7elevn. Dad got me some coffee. We hopped on bus 57. Then onto the Max train to Portland. We stopped by McDonald's because dad had to used the bathroom. Then we like hopped onto another bus to get to the house of Jack, AKA the China Man, towards where Free Geek is, around where Katie lived a decade ago at the Madison House.

10:00 AM - We made it to the house. We first had to look around in order to find the house. We moved boxes out of the basement and into the shed. Jack was talking about moving back to China.

02:00 PM - Lunch at McDonald's in North Plains. Jack offered to pay. So, I ordered a sald. But it was really big. So, they were waiting for me to finish eating. Eventually, I did. We dropped off a toilet at China Garden and then dad to our trailer home and then me to the Forest Grove Library.

Whatever happen to the golden days of Hollywood where people would stand in big long lines to see movies at the cinema? I took pictures as I was walking through Forest Grove. I rode the free bus. I worked weeding a garden at a house towards the mountains towards China Man and near a pool house.

Friday morning, I emailed my mom and my brother a message where I talk about the value in how Steemit works. My Steemit Rep was 52. I told them I bought my 2017 plane ticket with some of my Steem and some of my Bitcoin.

Got my Oregon Replacement ID Card. All the cells in our body are replaced every seven years. We lose all of our body weight every two to seven years. Well, we also gain it back as well. But there is hope in all of that.

2009-10-25 - Sunday - I sold my $45 Free Geek laptop for $80 to the black Muslim guy or maybe to his friend or something. I knew a black guy at Alder Housing. It might have been him. The laptop was $90 but I had a discount to buy it for $45. This was Sunday the 25th of October of 2009. This was probably around 11:00 AM or before the morning church service at Moore Street.

2009-03-22 - Monday - 11:45 PM - Departed on the Greyhound. This picture says that the schedule arrival for me to Los Angeles was Wednesday the 25th of March of 2009 at 06:30 AM. There might have been another bus going to Long Beach according to this ticket, maybe, unless if it was canceled or who knows what happened. Maybe I missed it. Maybe not. Maybe they made a mistake. But regardless, Lincoln Hawk picked me up in LA that morning. The ticket says departure time 06:40p and 05:45a, the first from Sacramento and the second from Los Angeles to Long Beach. So, I must have arrived around midnight on Wednesday. Eventually, Lincoln came.

Moved to Shelton, WA

2018-01-15 - Monday - 08:00 AM

Finished watching episode 22 of season 5 of Lois & Clark. I saw dad washing dishes. He asked me where I was going. I said the library. After that, I picked up my backpack and walked to the Cornelius Library. Called mom and asked if I could come see her and see agreed. We were already talking about this before that day. I hopped on bus 57, the Max train, stopped by a shop to buy a sandwich and a drink in Portland, OR, and then hopped on the Amtrack train to Olympia. After some hours. I arrived and then hopped on some buses. I talked to people to get directions. I found out that some of the buses were off (like some of the buses in Mason County) because it was Martin Luther King Jr Day. I made it to like a shopping center in Olympia. I ate some tacos at like Taco Bell at 04:45 PM. I stopped by like Safeway and a few other stores maybe. Larry came that night and picked me up. That is when I first met him.
