Welcome to
the month of December- a windy and cloudy day outside.
I did my
stretches and ran a mile and a half.
I updated
the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.
Sunday 02-
a bit windy but pleasant.
I did my
stretches.
I went
over to Linda H’s to pick up a barbecue she doesn’t want anymore. It’s kinda
weather-beaten but I’ll see if I can get it working again. I also did some work
on her MacBook.
I watched
“Castle”
Monday 03-
windy with clouds.
I did my
stretches, yoga, ran a mile and a half, core trainer, lifted weights, and punched
the heavy bag.
Guy with a
gray truck was on the side of the road by the house west of me. He was calling
a dog when I saw him. When the dog wouldn’t come to him he drove away really
fast. He threw out a coffee maker onto the road; pissed me off!
The lady
who lives in that house took the dog in when he left and was trying to call its
owner from the numbers on tags. He came back an hour later and went to a
house a half mile off of winters, and that's when I got the pics.
Something
ain't right in the head with this guy and I really don't want to get involved
if ya know what I mean... Just knowing where he lives is good enough to keep an
eye on him.
I went for
my evening walk.
I did my
stretches and did a night run.
I took a
picture of the Moon rising and it looked mighty cool!
Tuesday 04-
cooler and cloudy all day.
I did my
stretches, yoga, lifted dumbbells, ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs on each
wrist, core trainer, lifted weights, and punched the heavy bag.
UPS
delivered my ChromeBook today. When I received the package it was bent at one
side and I thought it was damaged. It turns out Amazon put it in a large box
and the box with the ChromeBook was okay. I spent most of my time getting used
to it and discovering what it can do and what it can’t. It can’t do Skype so
I’m looking for a work around for it until Skype gets it together. The browser
works fine except it loses cache if you leave to visit another page for too
long; Gmail will reload if left for 5min or so. I think this is to
conserve RAM..
I have Google Voice and was able to make calls to landlines no problem.

I watched
Star Trek “Voyager” on Amazon Prime to see how it worked on Chrome, it played
okay, but I should had tried something more recent that had widescreen..
I'm going to watch to see how Hulu performs.
So far it's been a good experience.
When you get your's plug it in first because it come with an uncharged battery (says that in Quickstart Guide) and when you hit start nothing happens. You will be surprised how fast it charges up!

Wednesday 05-
an alright day with lots of clouds.
I did my
stretches.
I went to
Yucca Valley to take care of some stuff I needed to get done at the bank. I
stopped off to get a burger and coffee at Jack in the Box and then went to
WalMart to get a few items. I dropped a few coins to the Salvation Army Bell
Ringer and some more to the guitar player who hangs out there.
I was
going to go to Home Depot to get a few things, but this long Marine convoy
turned into the parking lot and I felt it’d be too crowded and decided not to
go.
Thursday 06-
clear and sunny day.
I did my
stretches, yoga, ran a mile and a half, core trainer, lifted weights, and punched
the heavy bag.
Bob Fenger
called to chat for a long spell about all kinda stuff. He rebuilds pianos and
leaves them around town for people to play. I plan on visiting him someday. He
comes from Torrance just like me.
I went
over to help Roger with a stuck garage door and did my laundry while I was
there. We sat around and jawed at each other and when we had all the answers to
the world’s problems my clothes were dry and I went home.
Several
people called me and then Linda called telling me to come on over to watch Ridley
Scott's film “Prometheus” with
her; how could I resist. I thought it was great.
I did my stretches and went for a night run.
Friday 07-
very nice and clear day!
I did my
stretches, yoga, ran a mile and a half, core trainer, lifted weights, and punched
the heavy bag.
I went to
Dhamma Dena to work on their computers for a spell and helped someone set up an
email account which they quickly forgot their user name, wrote down the
password though. So when I had her go login again she couldn’t… I'll help her set
up another new account some other day. Then I went to Linda H’s house to put new RAM
into her laptop.
It was
dark when I got home and didn’t go for my evening walk but fed the doves and
quail.
I did my
stretches, lifted dumbbells, and went for a night run.
Saturday 08-
a very nice day!
I did my
stretches and went for a short walk around the neighborhood.
I was
doing work around the house inside and out getting things straightened up.
Sherry
dropped by to chat and brought me some candy bars!
Linda H.
called to ask if I wanted to go for a hike in the secret canyon and I said I
did. Linda has this thing about picking up trash when we hike and it ends up
being put into my backpack to be hauled out; I really don’t mind.
I watched
an episode of “Elementary”.
Sunday 09-
another nice day with temps into the mid 60s.
I did my
stretches and went for a short walk.
I tried to
update the Copper Mountain Mesa Website, but where I have it registered didn’t
do an auto-renewal and the site was down. I got in touch with them and said I
wasn’t a happy camper. They put my website back up later in the evening and I’ll
do the update tomorrow.
I mostly
messed around the house cleaning this and putting away that.
I jumped
on my scooter at 7pm and went to my mailbox on Lear Ave to pick up whatever
mail was there. It was a cold and dark ride; gets dark around 4:30pm now.
