Spring Is Coming

Spring is definitely coming. Around these parts, I can tell the days are definitely getting longer and that the afternoons are brighter. That’s a good thing for me

There’s a pretty strong wind coming from the north, yesterday was rough at my beach lunch and the cruise ships stopped on the south side of the island instead of the west. Probably will be the same today.

I am supposed to get the new (used) Kindle today. Hopefully.

That’s it! Gotta go! Have a wonderful day! 

Bus Today

Yesterday I left my car for an annual inspection and an oil change. So I took the bus home last night and am taking the bus in this morning.

Work is too busy.

I’m trying to make a deal on a used Kindle here on the island. The seller refused to ask a price and  wanted me to make an offer. So I made a low offer, never heard back. So I emailed again, “Hey, I never heard back from you, what’s the deal?” So I got a reply “I have an offer for $40. Does that work?” My reply, “I’ll give you $40, cash today”. For cryin’ out loud, tell me how much you want for it, I’ll give you the money, you give me the Kindle. Why the games?

That’s it, gotta go, I have to leave early to catch “Da Bus”

Dead Kindle?

image

I think my Kindle died. Took it out to read and the display was like it is in the picture above. I tried to reset it yesterday, but couldn’t see it to read it. I can see the screen change behind the partial wallpaper that seems permanent.

I’m already looking for used new ones, but my wife says I have too much electronics, I should just get an app for my tablet… She has a point, but the screen, THE SCREEN! Tablet can never beat that Paperwhite at the beach. Plus, the Kindle is inexpensive enough to take in harms way, like the beach or pool. My tablet is my lifeline to the planet!

This morning I put it on “deaf mode” so that it talks to me. I’m going to try a reset it today, but I’m afraid my Kindle is dead.

But, on a brighter note, IT’S FRIDAY!!!! Supposed to rain this weekend, but I don’t care.

Decline In Jumprope Ability

I’ve been noticing these past few days (weeks) that my ability to jump rope has dwindled to nearly nothing.
As you recall, I started a morning exercise routine as a new years resolution on the 2013 to 2014 new years. Jump rope has been part of it since the beginning. Although I never got really good, I could jump a dozen or so times before tripping up, my record number of jumps is 50 or 60.

But lately I trip up on the first, second or third jump. Can’t explain it.

Doing OK on the sit-ups and leg lifts and pushups though.

Sheba our dog is really fat. Maybe she needs me to take her  running regularly….

School of fish , from which the barracuda eats

Baracuda

Above are pics from lunchtime yesterday. I wonder if it’s the same school of  fish and the same barracuda from previous posts.

I (sometimes) take pictures, mostly I want to put them here, but sometimes I post them on Facebook, then I feel like I’m repeating myself by posting them here. Plagiarism of me by me. 

I passed my final real estate test yesterday. Now we’ll see what’s next.

I don’t have much to say today. Kinda woke up and didn’t sleep too well after 2.

What a game.  Seattle had it in the bag and threw it away in the last 20 seconds.

It was a quiet weekend. The Wife is trying to not catch the cold that has been going around. We stayed home all weekend, except I went out to get her some cold medicine.

It was a beautiful weekend, weather wise, too.

I don’t have much to say, I’ve been feeling kind of “flat” lately. Not good, not bad, perfectly neutral.

Tomorrow is the final real estate test!

Have a good week.
