Monday 30

 Monday 30 - I did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 39 and 62 degrees, N- NW winds at 4 to 10 MPH, humidity around 25 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 67. Northwest wind between 3 and 7 mph. Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 41. West northwest wind around 8 mph.” 
Ron Dehart dropped by with some bean stew he had made and collect his mail I picked up while he was away. I got to show him my new tile floor and he was quite impressed! He was still getting over the flu and didn’t stay too long; I thoroughly washed my hands when he left. The bean stew was great, I ate it for dinner.
I started to work on Patty’s “New” computer that she got from her sister, who got it from a friend, who got it from who knows where. Unfortunately it started to smoke as soon as I plugged it in, yikes! I called to inform her that the computer is toast and it was beyond anything I wanted to get involved in. There is a reason why folks “Give” computers away and this is one of them.
I went over to Stoney’s to help him with his online prescriptions and updated the anti-virus protection on his computer. I also took a nice hot shower while I was there.
I got home just in time for my evening walk before sunset. I watched “My Name is Earl”; I guess I like the Karma thing that the show is based on.
I read a few chapters of “Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Path” (such a long and complicated title, I’ll just use “Letters from Richard Feynman” for now on). Then read some of “Astronomy Today” textbook that I’ve been neglecting lately. A rerun of “Castle” came on CBS but I watched it anyways.
I did my stretches; 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.

Goodbye to the month of November!

Welcome to the Month of December!

 Welcome to the Month of December! - I did my stretches, ran a mile, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 41 and 64 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 26 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 65. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Wednesday Night: Clear, with a low around 38. South southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.” 
Ron Dehart and I went to the theater in Yucca Valley to see “2012”! Before the movie we stopped off at the music shop in Yucca Valley so I could pick up my Herco Gold nylon picks I had ordered a week ago, got gas for the Gross Polluter, and picked up our mail. “2012” had great visual effects of the ground swallowing building, cars, people, and about everything else, cool! You really have to suspend logic and reality to enjoy it and that’s what I did. I could go into all the errors I’ve found with the science but I’ll leave that for others to do. I didn’t cringe like I did when I watched “Armageddon”; probably the worst movie when it comes to getting the science right. I enjoyed “2012” and it kept me entertained and that’s what counts sometimes.
The Sun had already begun to set when we left the theater and I drove Ron home and then stopped over to Stoney’s. He had cooked up some beans with the bone from the Thanksgiving ham and we sat down to eat a couple of bowls of it. I helped him again with his online prescription drugs.
I watched “My Name is Earl” and “NCIS” which was a rerun. I decided to get an early start on the rest of the night so I wouldn’t stay up till 3am: I did my stretches and went for a night run; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
