Welcome to the month of February! - Clear skies and a light breeze which built up to high winds later in the evening. The temps are still on the cool side.
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 went on my evening walk listening to Astro 7B, lecture 1 about: parallax.
I watched lesson 17 on the Berkeley biology course.
I watched a movie that I borrowed from a friend called “Cowboys and Aliens”, a mighty fine Sci-Fi!!!!

Thursday 02- The sky was a clear bright blue, but the temps didn’t get over 65 degrees.
I did my stretches, core trainer, and ran a mile.
I went on my evening walk listening to Astro 7B, lecture 2 about:
I watched lesson 18 on the Berkeley biology course.
I watched the movie “Apollo 18” (2011). It was really wasn’t that great except for the special effects made up for it; made you feel like they were really on the Moon.

Friday 03-
I had to go into town to do some necessary errands and bought a car.
I did my studies.
I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the newsletter.

Sunday 05- The weather was sunny but a bit windy.
I did my stretches and just mellowed out all day; no Superbowl for me.

Monday 06- It appeared to be a nice day, what I seen of it from the inside of a car or store.
I woke up very early to do my stretches, yoga, dumbbells, rode my bike, lifted weights, core trainer, and punched at the heavy bag.
I did my studies.
I left the house at 9:30am to spend the rest of the day taking Kelly to her doctor's and shopping. We got back really late. I'm not a shopper- I just go in and get what I want/need. Women can spend long hours picking through this, sorting through that while shopping. I am glad the day is over! Tomorrow, maybe, I'll go pick up my car if it's ready. Otherwise it'll be Wednesday.


Tuesday 07- The weather was cold and cloudy all day long; looking like if could rain any minute.
I did my stretches.
I did my studies.

Wednesday 08- The weather was pleasant.
I did my stretches.
I got a call from Linda and Blake that they took John Massey to the ER this morning. I went to John’s trying to find his cell phone or some contact info for Linda so she could inform his family. I found a journal with names and such and Linda was successful getting hold of his son.
Blake was kind enough to give me a ride to pick up my Cougar in 29 Palms.
I paid for it and got to the DMV just before it closed and got it registered. I stopped off on the way home at Kelly’s to show it off.
I did my studies.
I went on my evening walk listening to Astro 7B, lecture 3 about: relativistic Doppler beaming from a standard frame.


Thursday 09- The weather was again pleasant.
I did my stretches, lifted weights and dumbbells, core trainer, and punched the heavy bag.
John Massey came over to ask if I could take him to his doctor tomorrow- I said I would and it wouldn’t be a problem.
I did my studies.
I washed my car. I didn’t think of it until now that I haven’t had a car since the early 80s when I sold my Porsche 914. Oh, I’ve had trucks and motorcycles, but no cars. It’s a nice change and I’m ready to travel. The Harley is cool and I’m going to keep it, but I’m getting too old to ride it any vast distances… then again maybe not.


Friday 10- Temps into the mid 70s!
I took John to his doctor in Palm Desert to get the stitches taken out. That took most of the day. When I got back Kelly’s cat was dying and I went over to help and support her and just be a friend.


Saturday 11- The weather started out really nice and all, but then it got mighty windy and cold, clouds started moving in!
Kelly’s cat died this morning; he was my favorite out of all her cats.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the newsletter.
I went on my evening walk listening to Astro 7B, lecture 4 about: relativistic energy and momentum.

I posted this on FaceBook:
I think we should try to put forth the effort to love one another! I love all my friends, all my antagonists, all the different religions and people who believe in them or not, all citizens of all nations of diverse political beliefs, and all the people I’ll ever come to know or never get to know. I hope we can spread that kind of love around and share it with the world and all its inhabitants! Okay, that sounds kinda 60ish, but I believe, truly believe that is something we lost over those decades between the 60s and now... LOVE and PEACE Let’s bring them back. Spread the word… I LOVE YOU!
