Jan. 31st, 2012 12:52 am Tuesday 24- The weather was clear skies mostly with some wind thrown in.
I did my stretches.
I went to town to get some special cat food for Kelly’s cat and picked a few things up.
I saw a car for sale in a parking lot of an auto shop and stopped to enquire about it. I took it for a test drive where it immediately ran out of gas and I was able to coast into a gas station. I put three bucks into the tank and drove it back. I asked them a few more questions about the car, but the girl there said she’d have to get back to me on it.
Then I went to Kelly’s house to give her the cat food and we buried her cat Elvis who passed on a wee bit ago.
I did my studies.
I watched lesson 9 on the Berkeley biology course.
Wednesday 25- The weather was a bit breezy with a few clouds. Temps were around 64 degrees.
I did my stretches, lifted dumbbells, yoga, and core trainer, punched the heavy bag, lifted weights, rode the bike, and ran with weights.
I did my studies.
I went for a walk listening to an astronomy lecture by Alex Filippenko about: the last lecture about the Drake equation.
I watched lessons 10 and 11 on the Berkeley biology course: Cellular energy production, anaerobic and aerobic.
Thursday 26- Beautiful day with temps of 76 degrees and clear skies!
I did my stretches and ran a mile.
I did my studies. I put a whole bunch of new words from the book “1100 Words You Need to Know” into my flash card program. I also put a few new Latin words into the program, and then did a review of both.
I went for a walk listening to an Astro 7B lecture by Joshua Bloom about: cosmology.
John Massey came over around 5pm for dinner and to do a little stargazing when it got dark. Lots of fun for me to have someone over and doing a little astronomy!
I went online to find that my package containing a power unit for my NEC MobilePro 900 is in my mailbox and made a mad dash down there to pick it up and get back to plug it in to charge it up!
I watched lesson 12 on the Berkeley biology course: Photosynthesis- the light reactions.
Friday 27- The weather was mostly cloudy and overcast with temp into the mid 60s.
I did my stretches, yoga, dumbbells, rode my bike, lifted weights, core trainer, punched at the heavy bag, and ran with weights.
I did all my studies.
I went for a walk listening to an Astro 7B lecture by Joshua Bloom about: different types of possible universes.
I watched lesson 13 on the Berkeley biology course: Photosynthesis- CO2 fixation and related processes.
I received an email from a friend of George's saying that George had passed away in his Wonder Valley trailer this past Monday, January 23rd.
George was a really neat guy with some wild and crazy ideas and it was great receiving those emails of his. He would come by my house in that old van of his complaining about the thieves who worked post office losing his mail, the VA messing with him, or them there criminals out yonder in Wonder Valley. He was real happy when he got that 'new' truck recently.
Such sad news :(
If any of you are in contact with his family, would you please forward their information to me to that I can notify them.
Sorry to hear that you left us George. Give them as much hell as you gave them here wherever you end up :)
Saturday 28- The weather was cool and a little hazy.
I did my stretches, core trainer and ran a mile.
I called family and friends to bother them if they were so unfortunate to answer their phone.
I headed down to our Potluck with some turkey stuffing and rice I cooked up. There, almost thirty of our community’s finest showed up- Tim Atzei cooked up a concoction he called Mac and something. Elaine brought her family; husband Kevin, and two sons Timothy and Matthew (their first time at the community center). Karry Kearns provided us all with beverages. Dave Royer baked up a fancy French (I thought he wrote trench) lemon tart pie thingy. Marybeth Rubin made some curry bites that were delicious. Marybeth and husband Alan had property here for thirty years and have just moved in permanently six months ago. Chris Jonas made his famous world renowned macaroni salad. Rose Matich brought along her husband Joe and steamed up her peas and corn for us to enjoy. Mary and Chris Koval created a lemon pumpkin dump cake (Mighty fine), and chicken mushroom mac casserole. Ruth Malton surprised us with red jello. Marie Morrison whipped up a German Chocolate Cake! There was plenty of fun in the Treasure Room especially when young Cody was clowning around with a woman’s wig and a bra- the girls got a kick out of that.
I watched two new episodes of “Fringe”.
Sunday 29- It is beautiful outside today!
I did my stretches, hopped on the Harley and took it out for a little ride and collected my mail along the way.
I spent the rest of the day doing whatever I wanted, and later in the evening I watched an episode of “Castle” and one of “EndGame” because I felt like it :)
Monday 30- It was a little overcast today with altocumulus clouds peppering the sky, I think we got your clouds Ginger :) with temps in the mid 60s.
I did my stretches, yoga, dumbbells, rode my bike, lifted weights, core trainer, punched at the heavy bag, rode my bike, and ran with weights.
I did my studies. I’ve been slacking off the Latin for a bit because I need to get caught up with the audio portion before I feel I can continue on the written portion.
I went for a walk listening to an Astro 7B lecture by Joshua Bloom about: the cosmological constant and Hubble’s law.
I watched lesson 14 on the Berkeley biology course about: Somatic cells- mitosis- and gametes (meiosis) inherit genomes… Yikes! I should just stick with astronomy :) Nah, I really need someone I can discuss and go over this with…
