another day, but no rain

another day;never made it back yesterday; hit pretty well at the range though only short stuff while i work on things, but then came home and spent 2 hours trying to get pc to work doing all of the scan stuff, etc. partially works now. something still wrong with norton 360 and i cannot watch my videos or listen to them or watch tv or golf. do get videos on bbc on real play. why?

anyway- frustrated by pc as usual. somehow this little enhancement tool has morphed into society's way of life. one can spend all day on the computer if you hardly try at all and phone calls which used to be so short now take time to do over the email.

but i digress and sound old. not really; i embrace technology- have a huge award from the commerce to prove it, but i want it to work and i miss having my own computer staff. now when i yell lisa or burnetta no one comes.

i did have 5th win on ebay and am putting together a whole new setup i hope; can see small ways of making money here but doubt i will spend the time. will just save what i can. now to see if the other people are as integrity driven as i am.

went out and stayed out for 10 miles this morning, including 22 x 100 yard sprints/striders. beautiful constable like morning as i call it. pretty and clear blue sky. the rain that passed through overnight took away some of the leftover clouds. snow now ahead they say. maybe i say. the horses wre lying down in the filed and that is not a sign of snow. but bbc says an artic thing is coming through.

ran in new shoes today. always nice the first time out in new shoes to feel the cushion. won't be that way the next time, but it enabled me to throw away my old trail shoes.

went up to st margaret'shurch and then ran the striders on my measured course and then back to the church and over the channel through port meadow to the oxford canal and down the canal to the back trails behind the train station and then stopped to get a paper and ran back to the grocery store to get some yogurt and a tuna sandwich.

home to clean up, do some laundry, grab some breakfast, clean the back porch, prune the mum and water the other plants and move a couple back outside until the next flood scare. will do the yard later, depending on the snow.

anyway-this is where we are. january 30th, 6 long months to go and half a computer. need to get hold of a better schedule here for my track work, but it is not easy to plan that given the weather and everything else going on. planning a trip to wales later when the weather turns more consistently dry.

off i go. more to follow.
