Tuesday 29

 Tuesday 29- did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 70 and 97 degrees, SW winds at 7 to 18 with gusts up to 35 MPH, humidity around 21 percent, a few altocumulus clouds.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 80. Breezy, with a northwest wind between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 54. Northwest wind between 11 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.” 
The wind was really howling when I went for my run this morning, so when I got back I just stayed inside writing out checks for bills to be sent out tomorrow and trying to figure out where to place the wiring in the bathroom before I commit to plastering the walls.
I went over to Mac’s for lunch at 3pm. He concocted some kind of vegetable stew that was plenty hot and I had a five alarm fire in my mouth! I brought my two binoculars over so he could figure out what kind he may buy. We sat for a long spell in his front yard looking at the countryside with them.
I stopped by Stoney’s on the way back and watched part of Cowboys and Indians movie with him.
It was too windy for my evening walk so I read “Astronomy Today” until “NCIS” came on. It’s one of my favorite shows! I read stories over at NCIS Drabble at Live Journal that people makeup based on the characters on NCIS. There is one very talented author, Ami-Ven, I especially like to read. I then watched “NCIS LA” but I can’t to get into the characters. It just seems to be written for thirteen year olds; if I was thirteen I’d probably like it.
I did my stretches and went for a night run; checked out Delta Cephei which appears brighter tonight; practiced my guitar; wrote my column for the newspaper and sent it in; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Wednesday 30

 Wednesday 30- did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 62 and 84 degrees, NW winds at 6 to 18 MPH, humidity around 28 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 79. North wind between 10 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 51. North northwest wind around 9 mph.” 
At 1:30 pm I picked up Ron Dehart to go down to the theater in Yucca Valley to see “Surrogates” starring Bruce Willis as a detective who is in hot pursuit of a new weapon that when fired kills the surrogate and its operator. A surrogate is a perfect human looking robot that is controlled remotely by its human operator who lies in bed wired to a device that gives the operator the experience of being in the surrogate’s body and living their lives through the surrogate; kind of like the perfect couch potato! Ron and I both liked the movie and I think it’s a must see!
We stopped off at Radio Shack to pick up a UHF antenna to replace mine that’s completely unfixable. I asked the salesman if there were other cities that didn’t go digital with the DTV like the rest of the nation, and he said there were about 200 cities in California that didn’t. We went to WalMart first but they didn’t have one. WalMart is undergoing a complete remodel and we found it hard finding anything because nothing is where it used to be. The city of Yucca Valley won’t let WalMart build a Superstore so it’s expanding this location. My friend who used to work at WalMart said that they are spending well over two million for the remodel.
When I got home I went for my evening walk just as the wind picked up; it looks to me that cooler weather is on its way. I spent a few hours yakking with friends and doing some webwork.
I did my stretches and went for a night run; took out my binoculars to checkout Delta Cephei which is brighter tonight; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
Goodbye to the month of September which flew by to quickly!
