Wednesday 07
Apr. 8th, 2010 01:08 amWednesday 07- I did my stretches and ran two miles.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 44 and 68 degrees, NNE winds 8 to 10 with gusts over 55 MPH, humidity around 13 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 77. Northwest wind between 6 and 9 mph becoming calm. Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 48. Calm wind becoming southwest between 8 and 11 mph”
I wrote my column for the newspaper and sent it in to them.
I drove down to feed Princess a carrot and when I arrived Ginger had her in a trailer to take her away to the other house nearby. I fed her a carrot and a lemon drop (she likes them) and said goodbye to her. She’ll be back sometime next month after the horse show Ginger is preparing her for.
I went online looking for a used telescope and I think I found an old Meade 8” with a German equatorial mount with an electric clock drive for a good price and I submitted my bid for it; if I win the bid, that’s cool, if I don’t, that’s cool also. It’s just like the one I used in college so I’ll be used to it. I had a lot of fun learning to work and use that telescope.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: Extra-Solar Planets; Our Sun.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" about Mar’s atmosphere; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” started chapter 5 about Replication, Maintenance, and Rearrangements of Genomic DNA. I only understand about one percent of all this now!
I continued to read “Cold Harbour”. Our heroes found the twin sister of the agent who was killed in and air crash. But it turns out see wasn’t really killed in the crash but raped by Nazi soldiers when she dressed like a peasant to make the trip over to England. They only tell her twin after she declines to take the job of impersonating her in France at her aunt’s mansion to retrieve the German plans of the Atlantic Wall. After take her down to the basement where her twin is being held and she see the hideous state her sister is in she decides to go along with the deception and becomes an agent at Cold Harbour.
I forgot to mention yesterday that I watched “Nova: Hunting the Edge of Space: The Mystery of the Milky Way”. It was very interesting for me because it had a lot about telescopes old and new with a little bit of history thrown in. It is continued next Tuesday!
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
