Log
09:00 AM: I’m up. My weight dropped 1/2 pound from yesterday; it’s now 174.5 Lbs. See here for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.
09:05 AM: Still nursing this latest cold, that appeared yesterday.
10:30 AM: Began the Adventures of Tom Sawyer book.
11:30 AM: Heading out shopping, to pick up some hardware for the sump pump and outdoor spouting.
03:15 PM: We’re back home again. Another beautiful day it is; clear, calm, sunny, and the thermometer says 66 degrees; the warmest day of 2010 so far.
05:25 PM: Spent the past couple hours organizing the Projects Page, adding dates to all entries under the Finished Projects heading.
07:50 PM: Worked the Gutter Maintenance: 2010 project.
08:55 PM: Worked the Audio Journal Information Page project.
10:15 PM: Talked with [Emmy] on the telephone. Our new phone services became a little choppy this evening; when the Internet’s very busy, the quality of communications suffers. However, we’re hopeful that this will go away over time, as networking companies expand and speed up the links carrying Internet signals. We never experienced this with Verizon. However, it’s probably worth a little cutout now and then for all the money we’re saving. But to those of you in the Altoona and Pittsburgh, PA areas who are considering switching to cable TV-based telephone service, be aware that it’s not quite as reliable as “Ma Bell” lines.
12:25 AM: Read more of the Team of Rivals book.
12:30 AM: Bed time. So until tomorrow,…, good night.
