Log
08:45 AM: I’m up.
09:00 AM: Facebooked for perhaps ten minutes. Friend count: 620 (up one). Fan count: 114 (unchanged).
11:10 AM: Leaving now to to shop for glass block window supplies at Lowe’s. Back later.
01:30 PM: I’ve finished shopping at Lowe’s. Now I’m waiting out front for my ride, just inside the exit doors. It’s raining.
02:00 PM: While waiting, friend Wanda happened by and saw me. She offered me a ride home once she was finished shopping, and invited me to wait in her warm car until she came back out. Nice lady. Our family has known her for decades. In fact, she and I were in the same class when I attended public school in the late 6os. Hmmm. If I’d have known I’d run into her, I’d have brought the windows home with us, instead of paying to have them delivered. Oh well, I’m still saving a boatload of money by installing these glass block windows myself instead of paying a contractor.
03:15 PM: I’m home, and still feeling somewhat wiped out from Momday’s treadmill workout.
04:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of Dr. Phil, called Why Am I Still Single?
06:30 PM: Closely examined the cellar windows to see how best to remove them, so that I can replace three of them. They’re to be delivered tomorrow. I removed the bottom portion of the frame of the first window, and also learned how to remove and re-attach the window glass. Even with the bottom frame removed, you can still put the glass back in the window well. That will be handy for keeping the cold air out until I’m ready to install the glass blocks.
08:30 PM: Read the table of contents (ten pages) of this new book I bought last week, called Upgrading and Repairing PCs, the 20th Edition, by Scott Mueller. I haven’t reviewed this information for several years, and this book discusses some technologies that I’ve never studied before. Yep, it’s time to review as well as expand what I know about computers.
10:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News broadcast via the DVR.
11:00 PM: Talked to [Emmy].
11:20 PM: I’m heading to bed. Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content. 
Good night.
12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count for this run is 958, up from 954 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
