Catching Up

[Last Saturday: 6; Monday: 3.4; Wednesday: 3.4]

I can’t believe I have let a whole week go by without posting something.  It has been my goal to run about three days a week and to post on the days I run.  Obviously that didn’t happen.

So I have to catch you up to the past week’s events.

Last Saturday we went to running club in the morning.  I worked on an Oracle consulting project in the afternoon, loading linux on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and getting Oracle -XE and mySQL running, making a database link between the two.

Sunday I went to church.  We had a very good sermon on Abraham (we are in a series on Abraham).

Over the course of the week I painted the old boat yellow.  I have some boat registration numbers I need to put on it and I thought it would be good to paint it before doing that.  I have some more to do before that is done.

We had some baby chicks hatch.  There were three to start but only one of them survived to today.  So we have one chick and one hen in a box in the solarium room of the house.  Chickens in the house… again.

I have a busy week at work, lots of things happening.  By the end of the week I think everything was working OK.  It’s nice when all of the broken stuff is tidied up by the weekend.

I got the new Beaglebone Black running at the Starkville weather station, and got that re-installed.  We may have some adjustment to do there.  The cumulative rainfall number seems to be out of wack, about twice what it should be.

Tomorrow is the first Mississippi State football game of the season.  They play Southern Mississippi at home.

We’ve been watching “Criminal Minds” on NetFlix.  It is an interesting show but I am starting to lose interest after the first two  (3?) seasons.  It is getting repetitious and the stories are now focusing more on the feelings and interactions of the people doing the detective work and less on the twists of the case.  Doesn’t it seem like most television series shows run out of gas after about 2 years?  Some die faster than that by giving everything away in the first couple of shows.

We started a new car repair project this evening.  My son’s old Ford Ranger started dripping brake fluid today: rusty brake line. So we have ordered a few parts and hope to get it back up and running tomorrow or Sunday.
