Log

08:45 AM: I’m up.

09:00 AM: Facebooked for a bit. Friend count: 633 (up one). Fan count: 113 (unchanged).

12:00 PM: Removed the lattice work frame from beneath the south porch.  You’ll recall that I had to detach the lattice work itself last month while upgrading the basement windows to glass block assemblies.  Well, it’s time to put the lattice work back together now that those basement window upgrades are finished.  As this frame was nailed in with the nail heads sunk into the wood, I had to actually break the nails apart with a chisel and hammer.  No problem however.  Once the nail bodies were snapped by chiseling, the could be easily pulled out from both the lattice frame work wood and the porch itself.

12:30 PM: Unfortunately, the chiseling broke the lattice work frame.  So, I just glued it back together and clamped it.  The glue should be completely dry in the next day or two.

02:00 PM: Watched the 2012-02-16 and 2012-02-17 episodes of   The Young and the Restless   via the DVR.

02:20 PM: Watched last night’s edition of   NBC’s Nightly News    via the DVR.

05:30 PM: Leaving now for an evening ‘out on the town’ at a local club with sister Christine, her husband, and a couple of their friends.  They believe that my knowledge of popular music due to my disc jockey experience, will help their team win tonight.  Well, we’ll see.

12:30 AM: I’m back home.  Our team indeed did win.  The winning song was the Jimmy Castor Bunch’s hit Troglodyte.  Many of the songs I did not know however, and even if I did, the group and song title often eluded me.  But apparently, we all knew enough to place first in tonight’s contest.  The bar atmosphere of the club was much more enjoyable than I recall in decades past, now that many bars and clubs no longer allow smoking within.  Though the scene tonight was a crowded and noisy one, I really enjoyed myself.  Thanks go to sister Christine for inviting me.  Perhaps next month, we’ll do it again.

12:35 AM: I’m heading to bed.  Good night and do stop back tomorrow for more content.  :-)    Good night.

Today’s Diet: 2012-02-18

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

I keep this food and fitness diary to stay aware of just how many calories I’m eating daily, my weight, and blood pressure with the hope that seeing these numbers repeatedly and often decreases the likelihood that I’ll overeat.  It seems to work, so here we go with another day…

Today’s weight: 176.0 pounds.  That’s unchanged from yesterday.  The 2012 year low weight so far: 176.0 pounds (established on 2012-02-13). The high weight for 2012 so far: 184.0 pounds (established on 2012-01-01).
