Tuesday 22- I did my stretches; cold, wet, and windy outside.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 33 and 51 degrees, winds of 21to 34 with gusts as high as 60 MPH, humidity around 41 percent, mostly clear skies later in the day with some rain in the early morning.
According to the National Weather Service: “Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 49. North northwest wind between 18 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Wednesday Night: Clear, with a low around 33. North northwest wind around 11 mph.”
Ginger invited me over for a Christmas Eve dinner and I thought that I’d better get down to Stater Bros and pick up something to share. I also needed to get something for this Saturday’s potluck. On the way to town I stopped to check on my friend’s property while he’s away on vacation; all was well. The wind was blowing so hard that the plastic window that I Mickey Moused on the driver’s side started to cave in on me while I was driving down the road. I had to stop and stick it back in before it lopped my head off. I stopped off at Stoney’s on the way back to deliver his mail that I picked up and take a nice hot shower. I also ate some more of that delicious lemon cake!
I got back home; it was too windy for an evening walk, so I messed around on one of my old laptops. I’m trying to decide if I want to put Win 3.1, Win95, or Win2000. It has Win 98SE on it now; I like playing around with the old OSs. Maybe I’ll start with DOS and work my way up.
Chris called to tell me that there isn’t going to be a potluck this Saturday. I had already put it in my newspaper column of last week that there would be a potluck, dang! It’d be nice if folks told me these things beforehand.
I watched “My Name is Earl” and then a rerun of “NCIS”. I practiced my guitar for a while until the Jay Leno show came on to catch his monologue and ended up watching the whole show. I then did my stretches and lifted weights; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Wednesday 23- I did my stretches and ran two miles; it was a very cold and windy run!
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 31 and 51 degrees, NW winds of 12to16 MPH, humidity around 36 percent, mostly clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 53. North northwest wind between 10 and 13 mph. Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 33. North northwest wind around 7 mph.”
The dang bird feeder fell out of the tree and spilled all the seeds on the ground that the squirrels quickly devoured. I refilled it and stuck it back up while the birds watched from afar. As soon as I left they pounced on it!
I decided to install Win 2000 on the old Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT. It has a whopping 2Gig hard drive, a Pentium MMX 150, and 48Megs of RAM! It took hours to install the OS and I let it finish while I went for my evening walk and then over to Stoney’s for dinner. We watched “Man Vs Food” on the Travel Channel; I just can’t believe how much food that guy can put away!
Win2000 had finally finished by the time I got back and then I installed the updates I have on CD for it; that took a few hours! I watched “My Name is Earl” and I think it was the last episode! It was one of the best sitcoms I’ve seen in a longtime, and it had a meaning to it too! I practice my guitar as the updates finally finished. I took the old Tecra online with the PCMCI 3 COM 56k modem and it surprised me. I used the K-Mellon web browser and it performed just fine for such an old machine that was built for Win95. I think I’ll ask J (Name withheld) if she would like it back now that it’s working better.
I watched the Jay Leno Show; did my stretches; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
