Wednesday 10- I did my stretches, lifted weights, and went for a walk to feed Ginger’s horse Princess.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 37 and 56 degrees, NNW winds at 6 to 11 MPH, humidity around 48 percent, mostly cloudy skies with light rain here and there.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 61. West northwest wind between 3 and 6 mph. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 40. West southwest wind around 6 mph.”
Roger Smith called telling me his computer won’t boot up. I told him I’d come on over to have a look see at it. He had to go to town to cash a check and would be back in an hour or two so while I waited I practiced my guitar and then I read aloud from the textbook: “Astronomy Today" more about Earth’s atmosphere.
Johnny (Stoney’s grandson) called and wanted to go over to Stoney’s renter with him in a few hours and I said no problem but I’d be over at Roger’s if I wasn’t home.
Roger finally called two hours later saying to come on over. I found that his hard drive has died, but I’m still going to test it tomorrow to see if it’s really dead over at my house where I have the equipment to do so. Roger had baked some beans in his crock pot and we ate them all up.
I fed Ginger’s horse on the way back home and went for a short evening walk.
Johnny showed up at my house at 7pm just as I finished reading aloud “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about Recombinant DNA; and the Digital Electronics Course, a review of what I learned. We went over to the renter’s house to get some the bills straightened out of what he owes. Everything seemed to have worked out with the renter and I went back home where a nice warm fire in the woodstove awaited me; dang cold outside!
I did some webwork for a spell until it had gotten very late. Then I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Thursday 11- I did my stretches, went for my run and stopped off at Ginger’s to feed Princess and continued on my run, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 40 and 60 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 37 percent, sunny skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Friday: Sunny, with a high near 65. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 41. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.”
I tested Roger’s hard drive and found that it was working, call him and told him it was something else that was wrong and I needed to come on over to work it out. I arrived about an hour later while he was attending his bee hive and there were bees all over; I quickly made my way into his house. The problem turned out to be a bad electrical connector to his hard drive so I just switched it with another and the computer booted up just fine; Roger was mighty happy about that and I was glad not to be stung by any of his bees.
I got home only to hear a recorded message from my insurance company saying that the guy who hit me is saying that I was at fault; kind of made me mighty mad too! He stated that I had on my right turn signal when I turned left; which is not true. I’ll call my insurance company tomorrow to see what action I need to take. He knows he is at fault and is trying to lie his way out of the situation; why do people lie and make things tougher on their victims?
I went for my evening walk down to Ginger’s to feed Princess and brought her a carrot; she digs it out of my jacket pocket, such a sweet horse.
I practiced my guitar and then I read aloud from the textbook: “Astronomy Today" more about Earth’s atmosphere and ozone layer, “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” more about Recombinant DNA; and the Digital Electronics Course which I need to listen to a few cassette tapes before I can progress in the course; I hope I can find something to play them on.
After I called a few friends who helped settle me down from my being upset about the insurance news, I watched “The Scorpion King” (2002) which kept me entertained for a spell; especially Kelly Hu!
Then I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
