bobdeloyd - Friday 15

Friday 15- My toe is feeling much better now and I’m not hobbling as much. I did my stretches, rode my bike, and lifted weights.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 83 to 105, slight breeze but picking up at of the SW at 15 after sunset, humidity around 46 percent, altostratus clouds covering us most of the day. According to the National Weather Service “Saturday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11am. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 100. Light wind becoming south between 12 and 15 mph. Saturday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 77. South southwest wind between 7 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.”
Got cracking on the weekend update for the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the newsletter.
I decided that my old HTML editor that I had since 1999 is just too dang old. I’ve gotten very comfortable using it over the years but it has to go now that I am starting to do websites for other folks. I took an online class where we used NVU Website Developer and found it to be pretty good, opensource and free. I played around with it last night after I wrote to my journal to get familiar with it again and did some updates to Ken’s website and saved them to my thumb drive so I could work on it later on my other laptop I use for business. I did a few more tweaks to his site today and then uploaded it to his server. I just have to get used to using the new HTML editor along with all the other programs I’ve been learning just recently.
Called Stoney to see what’s up and Roger S. was there. He asked me if I saw anyone dump garbage on Winters Road and Borland Pass. I told him that when I was on my bike ride that I saw a green homemade camper shell lying off to the side. Roger said that he saw and knows who dumped it there and is going to report them to the police if he can find the license plate number he copied down but misplaced. I don’t like people who dump in our desert and I hope they get in trouble!
I spent a good part of my day optimizing XP to run on the Asus EEE laptop (the EEE has a 4Gig Flash Hard drive). I also loaded Word 2000 and Service Pak3. But the good thing about install is you have time to read while it loads. So I got to reading a few chapters in “Surely You’re Joking MR. Feynman” and will probably finish it tomorrow.
Talked to my brother Kevin for almost an hour (53 minutes) before I had to go on my evening walk. The walk went okay without any pain to my toe, so I give it the weekend before I go for a run and just continue walking. I really miss my runs!
I got back home to do a little more reading and then I went online to do a little work and mess around. Then I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Current Mood: chipper
