Thursday 04- I did light stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 39 and 64 degrees, NW winds of 14 to 21 MPH, humidity around 37 percent, sunny skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 64. Calm wind becoming southeast between 6 and 9 mph. Friday Night: A 10 percent chance of rain after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 44. South southwest wind between 7 and 10 mph becoming calm.”
I’m still kicking back after the tooth extraction because I don’t want to put any pressure on where the tooth came out. I think I’m just going to take a break from everything for a few days and begin my routine again on Monday; sometimes it’s good to take a break, relax and gather your thoughts.
I went for a walk down to Ginger’s to feed Princess an apple and carrot. I then drove over to Mac’s house to get the bag of bird seed I left over there after we went to WalMart a couple of days ago. We sat around telling tales for a spell.
I went over to Stoney’s to take a shower and collected a rent check from his tenant. I’ll give it to Jimmy when he comes with his family this weekend. I’m supposed to keep an eye on Stoney’s house for his family but it feels so lonely there without Stoney that I don’t stay that long.
I got back home and called Sprint to change my rate plan to one that has more minutes and I can call for free after 7pm instead of 9pm when no one really wants me calling, also it has Sprint to Sprint so I can call Kevin anytime because he also has Sprint.
I watched “Star Wars” (1977). I remember when the first week it came out and me and my friend Bob Lee and his two sons went to see it at a theater in West Los Angeles. The lines were wrapped around the block and we almost didn’t make it inside because the theater was getting filled up. What a great film! Way ahead of its time!
I joined this website called “Day Zero” the other night that is about creating a list of a 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days. Now I have to decide what 101 things I want to do. The first one on the list is going to be making up the list so at least I’ll have one completed when I finally get the list made up!

Friday 05- I did light stretches.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and its calendar and sent out the Newsletter. After that I didn’t do much of anything except surf the web. I found a site that sells solar panels pretty cheap but you have to buy two of them and they ship it by truck freight. After 7pm I call a few friends now that my evening minutes start at 7pm instead of 9pm; makes a hell of a lot of difference! I mean you don’t want to call to late in the evening.
Joel brought me my mail. I was waiting for an envelope from Andrew that had a 4Gig SD drive in it and the letter finally arrived. He recorded a MIT Biology class video for me! Maybe that will help me understand that molecular biology text I been reading.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today", more about the Moon and Mercury; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach”, about gene transfer in plants and animals.
I watched “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). In the summer of 1979 I was in Sweden on a train coming back down from Norway when one of the locals pointed out the window and said that they filmed part of the movie right there in the mountains. I thought that was pretty cool!
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
