Wednesday 20
Jan. 20th, 2010 11:20 pmWednesday 20- I did my stretches; still can’t go for a run because of weather…
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 38 and 54 degrees, S winds at 6 to 20 MPH, humidity around 61 percent, stratus clouds covering the whole sky bringing lots of rain later in the afternoon and evening just like the last two days.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. High near 52. Breezy, with a south wind 11 to 14 mph increasing to between 22 and 25 mph. Winds could gust as high as 44 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Thursday Night: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. Low around 38. Breezy, with a south southwest wind between 20 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.”
Marcie’s son Paul dropped off an old Mac G3 laptop yesterday for me to checkout and setup dialup internet for him. I got it all completed and he came later in the evening to pick it up.
I went over to Stoney’s for a short visit; the weather has been mighty damp and misty with overcast skies and I needed to get out of the house. On my way back home I noticed that Ginger’s horse Princess was out of her corral and running lose outside the property, yikes! I quickly drove over there to see if I could get her back, but she was just running around paying no attention to me as I called out her name. I didn’t have my cell phone on me and I had to drive back home to get it. Once home I called Ginger and she said she was on her way from Yucca Valley. By the time I got back down to where the horse was roaming Ginger’s neighbor Gary had secured Princess in a yard down the street. That was great news for me because I wouldn’t have to chase after her! Ginger showed up a little later and she decided to leave the horse there until she could mend the broken fence tomorrow. We brought hay and water over for Princess as the rains started again. Ginger said that there isn’t a dull moment in her life, and I jokingly said that there wasn’t one in my life either since she moved into the neighborhood.
I got back home and practiced my guitar and read “The lost World” for a spell.
No evening walk for me because of the rain was coming down hard. I forget when I had last gone for my walk because the weather has been so bad lately.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today" beginning the chapter on the solar system, and “The Cell: a Molecular approach” about Photosynthesis.
I started a digital electronics course that I bought a little over twenty years ago; talk about procrastination! It has cassette tapes, books, and electronic components that you plug into a breadboard for the projects in the course. I now know how to convert binary to decimal numbers and convert decimal to binary! I messed around with the course until “The Human Spark” came on PBS. It was the last show in the series and it gave me lots to think about; a very good program!
Then I continued to read “The Lost World” until late into the evening; just like last night and the night before.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
