Aneal Khimani: DO NOT READ

  • Home Improvement – No Tim Allen needed

    So for the last year (yes, it’s been a year now) we’ve been slowly redoing many parts of the house. I’ve replaced ceiling fans. I’ve mounted Televisions. I’ve replaced baseboard/trim in a couple rooms. We’ve repainted. We’ve hung floating shelves. Everything said, the house is coming along nicely, and it almost seems like human adults […]

  • I got wood, how ’bout you?

    So I completed my first Asa No Ha Kumiko panel. It’s in the image below. This took me several hours to make because: It’s made of basswood which is pretty soft, and cuts easily with various methods. It all began with an ~8ft board of basswood, approximately 8″ wide by 15/16″ thick. I started by […]

  • Some progress

    So my attempts at woodworking are coming along nicely. I have completed my first project. I’m calling it a Shoji Lamp. It’s a small wooden lamp that utilizes a battery powered tea light as its source of illumination. It stands around 11.5″ (or ~345mm) tall, is made of ash and maple and shoji paper. It’s […]

  • Strokin’

    So for 2 sessions now (Fall 2022 and Spring 2023) I’ve been playing pool in an APA League. Last session, (Fall) I did pretty well (for not having continuously shot pool in some years). My record was 8 wins/3 losses. This season (Spring ’23) has not been… so good… I started off with 4 losses. […]

  • Spring is (almost) in the air

    Yesterday, the weather was fantastic. It was clear and sunny, the high was around 74º F. This is a nice change from the recent high temps of less than 50º F 🙁 Because the weather was so good, when I got home from work, I promptly put on my ‘work clothes’ and headed out onto […]

  • Workin’ that wood

    So I’ve been hard at work in the shop. We’ve moved to Decatur (last August, 2022). The house we bought has a 1200ft2 out-building. I’ve began renovating it by adding insulation/plywood cladding to the walls. Also, I’ve been buying woodworking tools (table saw, miter saw, sanders, bandsaw etc) to begin making small furniture/etc. projects. I […]

  • Holiday magic

    So I now officially have my Real Estate Salesperson license. It’s in an Inactive state because I haven’t selected a brokerage to ‘hang my license’ at. Basically, to make Real Estate transactions in Georgia, you must be associated with some brokerage. I have chosen an online company called EXP Realty to be my broker, but […]

  • Moving forward, maybe?

    So I attended a Real Estate investor group meeting a couple weeks ago. I came across it while browsing BiggerPockets forums. It was in Fayetteville (at the IHOP). I met several interesting folks there. All of them were investors. Some were Real Estate Agents, one guy was a licensed contractor (he was tired of trying […]

  • Agent Time

    So I was able to pass my Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Test. That said, I’m now eligible to get my License to practice in the state. There’s 2 ways you can get your license in Georgia, Active, or Inactive. If I opt for an Inactive license, I can take my test results, a criminal background […]

  • TheRapist

    So I started Occupational Therapy today for my left wrist. As some of you might remember, I fractured it during my motorcycle accident in May. As a result, I had to have the scaphoid bone in that wrist “Affixed” by having a screw surgically implanted in it. Now that I’m 6 weeks out from surgery, […]

Got any book recommendations?
