Monday 26 to Friday 30
Sep. 30th, 2011 08:17 pmMonday 26- I did my stretches, yoga, and went for a mile run.
I went for my doctor’s appointment in 29 Palms.
I visited my friend Piper in Joshua Tree. Piper is the one who threw the 60th birthday party for me.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: hydrostatic equilibrium.
I watched lecture 26 of MIT Introduction to Biology: Nervous System 1. I found it very interesting.
Tuesday 27- I did my stretches, dumbbells, core trainer, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
I drove to the Harley shop in Yucca to pick up the sissy bar and other parts to mount it correctly. I ordered everything on August 02 and it just came in last Thursday.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: electron degeneracy and white dwarfs; cool!
I went for a night run and then checked on Delta Cephei to find it had changed in brightness and is now about the same in brightness as Epsilon Cephei.
I watched two new episodes of “Castle” on Hulu.
I watched lecture 27 of MIT Introduction to Biology: Nervous System 2.
I read aloud from the textbook “Astronomy Today” about: Observational Evidence for Stellar Nucleosynthesis.
I read from my reading list.
Wednesday 28- I did my stretches and ran a mile.
I got all my chores done and went to put the new parts and sissy bar on the Harley and quickly found out that I was missing some parts and the ones I had didn’t quite fit. I hate when you get set to do something and find you can’t because of something beyond your control. So I made the trip down to the Harley shop in Yucca and Larry the parts guy said they’re the parts that the catalog said would fit. But he found out as I that they don’t. Larry said to leave the parts with him and he’d call when he got it all figured out. Oh joy!
Thursday 29- did my stretches and lifted weights.
I have to wait around my house for FedEx to deliver a new HP DM1Z 11.6” netbook. I water the plants and do little things around the yard until FedEx arrives around 3pm. I spend the rest of the day doing updates and removing bloat from my new netbook. It is really a cross between a netbook and a laptop but more netbook. It has an AMD Dual-Core Processor E-350 (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)+AMD Radeon HD 6310M Discrete-Class Graphics, 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm), 250GB 7200RPM Hard Drive.
I was introduced to a wonderful writer by email from a friend. Her name is Sami and has read the first two chapters of my book. She’s giving me pointers here and there; just what I needed :)
Kelly came by to drop off her cat Solomon for me to watch for a couple of nights.
I watched two new episodes of “Warehouse 13” on the new HP and it performed nicely.
Friday 30- I did my stretches and ran a mile.
I got to messing around with the new netbook so much I got lost in time. The reason for this new purchase is I like the compactness and energy efficiency of the netbooks but they’re a little strained when running multiple tasks and it’s been quite noticeable on my Lenovo S10-2 netbook lately. This new one should hopefully fill the gap with a more powerful processor, more RAM, more everything. So far I’m quite impressed with it.
Larry the parts guy still hasn’t called back :(
I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.
Goodbye to September- you kinda went by too quickly….
