Monday 16

 Monday16- I did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 38 and 62 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 23 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 69. Light and variable wind. Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 42. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.” 
I decided to jump in the Gross Polluter and head on to town to get another box of tiles. Then I went to the post office and picked up a book I ordered from Amazon.com called “Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Path” by Michelle Feynman that she wrote about her father Richard Feynman. Then over to the Health Food Store to get two pounds of yeast that I use in my oatmeal for breakfast. My last stop was to the library to look through their books they are selling and found “Golden Buddha” by Clive Cussler and paid 75 cents for it; such a deal!
I went over to Stoney’s to pick up my groceries from the USDA food distribution that he gets for me every month. We sat and yapped at him for a spell. He has to go to the hospital this Friday for a test and his daughter is coming down from up north to make sure things go alright.
I got home just before sunset to go on my evening walk. I read “Golden Buddha” until “My Name is Earl” came on and then continued to read a few chapters more when I stopped to watch “Castle” on ABC.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night. Tomorrow I’ll be outside in the cold watching the Leonid Meteor Shower! It should be a good one and dark with the Moon being new.

Tuesday 17

 Tuesday 17- Last night at 1am I braved the cold to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower. Mars was rising in the east and it was a beautiful night. Saw a few meteors and stayed outside for a little while until the cold crept into my bones. Then I went to the warm comforts of my bed and went to sleep.
I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 42 and 62 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 21 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 67. West northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm. Wednesday Night: Clear, with a low around 42. West northwest wind between 6 and 8 mph.” 
I spent all day until sunset finishing the cutting and laying down of the tiles. I wanted to get it done so I can grout the floors and be done with this so I can move on to other stuff I have to do. My whole body aches!!!
I went for my evening walk and then over to Ginger’s to start up her generator. She fed me some hotdogs and I played with her dogs for a spell.
I watched “My Name is Earl” then “California Gold” where we were shown how to make soap; I always wondered about that. “NCIS” came on CBS about thieves who broke into a server farm and brought down the electrical system to Washington DC.
Then I read “Golden Buddha” until it got late. I did my stretches and went for a very cold night run, burr; wrote my column for the newspaper and sent it in; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal. Posted it to the web, and called it a night.
