Friday 16

Friday 16- I did my stretches and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 51 and 82 degrees, winds out of the west at 6 to 12 MPH, humidity around 17 percent, hazy skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 81. West northwest wind between 7 and 10 mph becoming calm. Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 54. South southeast wind 6 to 10 mph becoming west.”
I worked on Kath’s laptop doing a few tweaks here and there and it’s all done and ready to be picked up.
Joel called the server site where he has his website and got the correct password and I was then able to upload the HTML; it is now up and running. I don’t mind doing these little projects for friends but I don’t like when there are problems like this where I spend a lot of my time trying to figure it out and it turns out to be someone else’s mistake.
I started working on the patio roof, cutting some of the pieces of wood; I still have to make some more measurements before I actually start construction. A little at a time gets it done!
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: The Quest for Black Holes.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" more on Jupiter’s moons; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” DNA Repair: Error-Prone Repair, and Recombinational Repair, amazing!
I called Kath earlier today to pick up her laptop; she arrived at 6pm.
I thought I’d take the night off from reading and spent the time mindlessly surfing the web.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Saturday 17

Saturday 17- I did my stretches, ran a mile, and lifted weights.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 54 and 81 degrees, calm winds, humidity around 17 percent, hazy skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Calm wind becoming south southeast between 12 and 15 mph. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 57. Southwest wind between 7 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.”
I started working on the patio roof again. This time I got it all figured out and got most of the supports for it hammered in. Spent around three hours doing this and would have gotten more of it done except that I bought the wrong size lag bolts, dang! I’ll pick up the right ones Monday.
I called Family and Friends throughout the day.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: The Milky Way and Other Galaxies.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" Jupiter’s moon Io; “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” Recombination between Homologous DNA Sequences.
I continued and finished reading “Cold Harbour”. The plot thickens and our heroine finds that she has been betrayed by British Intelligent and is told this the Good looking German Officer when she is caught stealing the plans for the Atlantic Wall defenses. He asks for the plans back and tells her twin sister was working for him and now he wants her to work for him or else he’ll do something ghastly to her Aunt; he doesn’t know she had already taken pictures of the plans. Our heroes arrive in France, one of them sneaks into the Chateau that is under heavy Security only killing three guards, and climb onto her balcony. She tells him she can’t leave because of her Aunt, so he says they’ll take the Aunt along. But the Aunt says she has a bad heart and only has a few months left and will stay. Our hero and heroine escapes by forcing the good looking German Officer at gunpoint to drive them to the coast where the Fast Boat is waiting. The German Officer pulls a gun from under the dash but before he can shoot anyone he is shot by our heroine in the back three times; he dies. They make it to the boat and cross back over to England but before they arrive they are fired on by that crazy British agent who poses as a German pilot flying a German plane. He kills almost everyone on board before he is blasted out of the sky. She and one of the heroes she likes, survive. They will have dinner at the Savoy and get lots of medals for producing the pictures of the Atlantic Wall’s defenses and save many lives on D-Day. The End.
