I rode the whole way home without having to stop, except for at 7th Ave and Capitola Road. And only slight slowing at two other lights. I hit all the other lights and traffic was light. Pretty much full throttle all the way which means 25mph on the flats, 20mph up hills, and 30 mph […]

I had this $2 off coupon for Streetlight so I decided to see if they had a CD I wanted. They had 2, Five Iron Frenzy’s “The End is Near/Here”, and Kermit Ruffins with the Rebirth Brass Band “Throwback.” On the down side to this little excursion, there were no Original Cinn for me to […]

Ever since I got a new tube filled with EZ-Seal I not only haven’t had a flat tire, but I haven’t even lost any air. That’s over a week with no pressure loss at all! Before I had to add air every other day. I also drilled two 1/4″ holes and installed my license plate. […]

With the painting that is. Nicole and and I finished the second coat last night. This morning I cleared out all the stuff on the floor of the room so the carpet guys have no obstructions when they arrive sometime this morning. Hopefully the paint and carpet don’t clash. Oh yeah.

I’m nearing a big deadline on a project right now so I’m not really working out so much. I’m still getting some exercise from working around the house when I get home but nothing too strenuous overall. I’ve cut back how much I’m eating to compensate, so now about 14 zone blocks.

Yesterday I weed-wacked the back yard (front is this week), washed down the walls in Darlene’s room and prepped it for painting, and did a few loads of laundry. A good arm work-out but I’m glad it’s done.

So I’m trying to transfer some other laser discs to dvd to get practice for when I try with Star Wars. In anticipation of this I got a newer better video capture card, I got Adobe Premiere Pro, I upgraded to Windows XP so I could run Premiere Pro. There’s a lot behind this. Premiere […]

I was playing Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and saved my progress. After a few minutes I was tired and turned off the Gamecube and when I turned it back on I couldn’t get anywhere from where I saved. I check on-line and sure enough, it’s a glitch in the game that if that was […]
