Sunday 08- still windy (8 to 20MPH) but the Sun is out shining down upon our little community.
I did my stretches, yoga, core trainer, and dumbbells, ran a mile with weights, punched the heavy bag, and lifted weights.
I read a few chapters of “Robinson Crusoe”.
Monday 09-the weather was pleasant.
I did my stretches, but that’s all I did before John Massey came over to pick me up and go hunt for gold at this abandoned mine he found in the hills south of where we live.
I went to the Neighborhood Watch meeting. I wasn’t feeling very well and didn’t stay for the CMM board meeting.
I cooked up some chicken in a pot with potatoes and carrots, but somehow I didn’t do it right, a miscarriage of chicken soup; it tasted awful. I ended up throwing it away outside in the vacant land across the street. I went out there the next day and some poor hungry critter had eaten it all up.
Tuesday 10- another nice day but I wasn’t feeling too well to enjoy it. I did do my stretches, completed all my studies, and listened to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: the Hubble Constant.
FedEx delivered another Palm M105 that I ordered for $6 on eBay.
I read a few chapters of “Robinson Crusoe”.
Wednesday 11- the weather was a little overcast and temps got up to about 65 degrees.
I did my stretches, yoga, dumbbells, core trainer, lifted weights, ran a mile, punched the heavy bag, and rode my bike; I felt better today!
I did all my studies; Latin lesson, drew something, and did a lesson in the 1100 Word workbook.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: the discovery of dark matter.
I watched lesson 5 on the Berkeley biology course about: the laws of thermodynamics and how it relates to the metabolism of the cell. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and how energy is derived from losing a phosphate atom through a hydrogen bond or some such to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) with a helping enzyme is able to create more energy; I now understand the process but find it hard pulling it from memory and putting it into words right now. There’ll be more in the next lecture.
I watched “Castle” and an old favorite I used to watch as a kid “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” on Hulu.com.
I read a chapter of “Robinson Crusoe”.
Thursday 12- the weather got nice again, but temps still in the 60s and a little breezy.
I did my stretches and ran a mile.
I did my studies.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: more on dark matter.
I watched lesson 6 on the Berkeley biology course about: enzyme structure.
I watched an episode of “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” and the first episode of “Sea Hunt” starring Lloyd Bridges.
I read a chapter in “Robinson Crusoe”. I woke up very early and read another chapter and then went back to sleep.
Friday 13- the weather was nice into the mid 60s and little breeze.
I did my stretches, lifted dumbbells, yoga, core trainer, lifted weights, ran a mile, punched the heavy bag, and rode my bike.
I did my studies: Latin, drawing, 1100 Words workbook.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: CMB and very large structures in the universe.
I watched lesson 7 on the Berkeley biology course about: cell membrane, structure and metabolism.

I spent the better part of the day building some shelves in my computer room for food storage. I will paint them tomorrow when it's not windy.
Verizon Phone Company finally got my phone working again around 2pm; it has been out since Thursday or there abouts. It seems like other folk’s phones were out in our area because I seen four Verizon trucks drive by my house today.
I did all my studies, Listened to an astronomy lecture on the expansion of the universe, and watched Berkeley biology lecture 8 about: Regulation of enzymatic activity.
