Working on some modified images
The WLD that appears throughout when turned the LD actually resembles a lower case e.

Some things I forgot to post here
on the page labeled notes.
line five the sixth character is a 6
line ten, the seventh character in from the left is a 7, the seventh character in from the right is also a 7
Also on line ten it starts with what looks like a crossed out 1 followed by 6mLSE7
assuming the first character is a 1 you have 16mLSE7 if the m is actually a sideways 3 and the S is actually a 5 you have 163L5E7 which makes the 1,3,5, and 7 appear in the proper sequence for the line.

Gambling references??
Others have put forth theories on this being gambling notes for a bookie. I don't give that theory much weight because bookies can normally pay their bills and don't get evicted. The word bets does appear a fair amount and I noticed red sox at the top of P1. Here is an attachment in case anyone is interested.

Return to the bus route theory
Having the knowledge that Ricky was being evicted I am wondering if it is possible that these two pages could include information on his search for a new apartment. I am going to look up apartment complex names aroud these bus routes to see if anything matches up with any of the code. Also, the 71, 74, and 75 NCBE on the page with P1 at the top. I wonder if those could be dates. July 1, 4 and 5th.

A little light hearted guessing
A theory I briefly entertained but I don't think I posted about was that Ricky was jotting down notes about such things as Movies. Some movies that came out around the time of his death that can be found in one form or another in the text are:
South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut sprk and uncut clearly appear in the code.
Sixth Sense
200 Cigarettes
I have seen some others but I am curious if anyone else sees this. I quickly moved on from this but thought I would revisit it here.

Only sort of Ricky related
I found it interesting the number of people that are interested in this topic from all over the world. I know about Joseph from Spain as he actually comments but here are where some other recent visits were from.

Cleaned up image
I cleaned up the image that had all of the dark splotches on it. There some areas I left unmodified since I wasn't 100 percent sure what the intended letters were. I did this on a pixel by pixel level to minimize any mistakes.
