I called friends and family throughout the day.
I went shooting over at Stoney’s with Jimmy and Clarice who drove all the way up here to get away from it all. Jim brought up his hi-powered 30cal Saga which really packs a wallop and his Marlin 9mm rifle. I brought over my two 22 rifles.
We went to Potluck over at the community center where almost 30 hungry folks showed up. I told Chris that this is more than we’ve had in many years. Lots of good food and good vibes!
We went shooting some more.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 7b lecture 13.
I did my stretches and went for a night run.
Sunday 29- I did my stretches, yoga, lifted weights, and ran a mile.
We went shooting again over at Stoney’s until we ran out of ammo and Jimmy and Clarice had to drive back home. We’re getting mighty good at shooting rocks!
I went for an evening walk listening to Astro 7b lectures 13 and 14.
I read aloud from the textbook “Astronomy Today” about Interstellar Molecules and ended chapter 18 with the chapter review.
I did my stretches and went for a night run.
Monday 30- I did my stretches, yoga, lifted dumbbells, did the core trainer, and ran two miles.
I’ve been spending a lot of time this weekend on FaceBook at “You know you’re from Torrance if…”
I read aloud from “Astronomy Today” about Novae- where a white dwarf that is in a binary system with a main sequence star pulling matter to form an accretion disk around the white dwarf. Once this disk heats up to 10 million Kelvin, where hydrogen ignites, it fuses into helium at a very fast rate.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 7b lecture 14.
I did my stretches, core trainer, and went for a night run.
Tuesday 31- I did my stretches, yoga, core trainer, rode my bike, and lifted weights.
For the past three days I’ve been posting on this FaceBook page called “You know you’re from Torrance if…” which has gone viral during the weekend with many folks from Torrance posting stuff from the past and commenting on those posts (Me being one of them). I grew up in Torrance and know many of the old places that are no longer there; lots of fun! Click on the link (you need FaceBook login) and see what I mean :)
I went on my evening walk listening to lecture 14 and the beginning of 15.
I read aloud from the text book “Astronomy Today” about Nova and Supernova, the difference between them, and the difference between type I and type II Supernova.
I did my stretches, went for a night run, and punched the bag a bunch.
Goodbye to May you've been a very windy month!
