Sunday 12- The weather mighty windy and cold!
I’m sick….
I did my stretches.
I did my studies.

Monday 13- Cold and windy!
I did my stretches.
I’m still sick….
I did my studies.
Kelly and I went to the store and ate Chinese.


Tuesday 14- Cold, cloudy, and windy.
Sick
I did my stretches.
I did my studies.
Chris called needing help restoring his computer from a bad virus- was able to talk him through the process over the phone- backing up all his files and docs- then we did a clean install of Win XP.
I watched a new episode of “Castle” and “EndGame”.


Wednesday 15- The weather was clear with sunshine. Until around 1PM when clouds came and flooded the sky and blocked out the Sun. Then it grew very dark and rained the rest of the day and into the night, flooding the ground.
I did my stretches, lifted weights, core trainer, ran a mile, and punched the heavy bag a little. I didn’t push myself any, just a light workout.
I did my studies. Had a few days to catch up on because being sick I didn’t feel like doing anything.
I finished reading “The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe. A wonderful adventure book written in 1719.
I watched lesson 17 on the Berkeley biology course about: Genes are made of DNA.


Thursday 16- It was a cold and blistery day!
I did my stretches and lifted dumbbells.
The people from Dhamma Dena brought Ruth’s hard drive from her laptop she gave away without taking her documents off. They retrieved it from a computer store after it was replaced by a new drive and thrown away. I spent four hours on it trying almost everything I could think of to get my computers to recognize the drive, but I kinda knew when I first hooked it up and heard the noise it made that it was a brick. I have one more trick to try tomorrow and if that doesn’t work I’ll have to give up.
The UPS guy delivered my new T-Mobile Samsung Dart Android Prepaid Phone. The reason I bought the phone was that I could use to make calls on their prepaid network or on free WIFI (like at home, McDonalds, or at Starbucks) without any charges. But T-Mobile isn’t very clear about that and the wording is misleading. It’s like what if I’m surfing the web or making a call on my home WIFI and find out I’m using my prepaid minutes- that wouldn’t be so good. So until I find out I’m not putting the SIM card in and just using Skype for now. It’s a neat little phone and for $99 at T-Mobile I couldn’t pass that up.


Friday 17- Nice weather today.
I did my stretches, yoga, lifted dumbbells, ran with weights, core trainer, lifted weights, rode the bike, and punched at heavy bag.
UPS dropped my new scanner off this afternoon- it has an automatic feeder- I’m going all digital and get rid of most of the dang papers I’ve been storing.


Saturday 18- Another nice but cool day with a bit of a breeze.
I helped cleaned Kelly’s house most of the day. She made dinner for us and it was mighty good!


Sunday 19- The weather was cold and there are high wind warnings for our area.
I got a call from Denny telling me he got a call from Roger saying that part of the roof was coming off and if I would call the guy who I recommended to fix it to go and repair his handy work. I called my friend and he needed help so I told him to come pick me up. We fixed roof in about an hour.
I get back home and there is a message on the phone- John Massey got his truck stuck in the dirt by the sand dunes out where we were searching for gold. It took me a half an hour to find him, he had dug his truck down to where the undercarriage was buried and there was a lot of digging to be done to clear that away, and another two hours to get him unstuck and on his way.
I stopped at Kelly’s to pick up 6 bags of trash to throw away and ended up staying there and resting for a spell.


Monday 20- Presidents day- I just mellowed out and got caught up on some reading.


Tuesday 21- It was overcast with a low into the 60s.
I did my stretches, core trainer, heavy bag, and ran a mile.
I went for a walk listening to Astro 7B lecture #7 by Joshua Bloom.
I stopped by Kelly’s to dig a grave for her kitty that passed on recently.


Wednesday 22- The weather is mighty nice with temps into the mid 70s with clear skies and a light breeze.
I did my stretches, yoga, lifted dumbbells, ran with weights, core trainer, lifted weights, rode my bike, and punched the heavy bag.
Kelly wasn’t feeling well so I went over to her house and sat with her for a long spell.


Thursday 23- Beautiful weather, temps in the high 70s!
I did my stretches, yoga, lifted dumbbells, ran with weights, core trainer, lifted weights, rode my bike, and punched the heavy bag. Dang it, I forgot that I did all this yesterday. I’m supposed to have a one day break in between and take the weekend off.
I went to WalMart and Stater Bros. to get supplies and pick up mail. Gas is at $4.08 a gallon!
I did my studies.
I watered the plants around the house, and fed the doves (I feed them almost every day).
I went for a walk listening to Astro 7B lecture #8 by Joshua Bloom.
I watched lecture 18 and 19 on the Berkeley biology course about: Gene Expression 1- DNA is transcribed into RNA, and Gene Expression 2- RNA is transcribed into Protein.
