The First 24 Hours of 2010

Happy New Year!  Ok, the first 24 hours aren’t quite up, but I’m posting this now anyway.

• Went to bed at 12:40am. The fireworks have died down enough to actually go to sleep.
• Built a small model airplane (of a jap zero from WWII)
• Grilled baby back ribs and fillet mignon for dinner
• Exercised
• Played Farmville

• Created an avatar for Dupree (our cat) on Wii Fit Plus
  

2009 – The last 24 hours of the year (decade?)

Here it is…my list of activities of the last 24 hours of 2009.

• Passed up a motorcycle ride (horror!) to New Braunfels for Cooper’s BBQ because I had to work AND the weather was nasty with fog and wet roads.
• Drove the car to work again (see weather description above).  On a normal day I would have ridden anyway to beat traffic by riding in the HOV lane since I have the right riding gear, but there was like NO traffic on the main lanes today.
• Went to bed last night at about 1am because I was up late installing equipment on my motorcycle in case I went on the ride today (see bullet #1 above and yesterday’s list)
• Went to Ranch Market on I10 at Blalock and bought 3 Fillet Mignon for $3.79/lb
• Printed a copy of the last paycheck of the year.
• Studying for flight review
• Left work early to pick up the kids from daycare
• Drove the car through the car wash
• Went to a friends house for a little new years get together.
• Home just before midnight.
• Got kids in bed, now doing the same myself.

Cya next year!!!!!

2009-12-30 – The next to last 24 hours of 2009

Like yesterday, this is not necessarily in chronological order and even though I may have done things several times, it’s only listed once.

• Almost slept too late.
• Drove the car to work since none of my motorcycle gear was prepped for cold AND wet weather.  It could have been, but then I would have been really late for work.
• Ate lunch at Chicken Pirata (aka, "Pirate Chicken”)
• Started studying unit 2 of the Gleim Pilot Refresher Course
• Played Mario Bros on the Wii with the kids
• Installed new GPS mount and GPS power cable on the Inteceptor
• Worked to earn dockets for spending (and from now on, if it's a weekday, just assume I went to work.)

The Previous 24 Hours

Things that I did in the last 24 hours, not necessarily in order and say if I did something at 9am and again later at 1pm, it’ll only be listed once.

• Took the kids to Daycare.
• Played Mario Bros on the Wii
• Organized most of my digital photos on my home PC (need to archive some to CD/DVD storage later)
• Quicken
• Went to the grocery store (on the way back from taking the kids to daycare)
• Watched some WWII in HD while doing other stuff.
• Oh, and it was a work-from-home day so I did some work stuff.
• Played Farmville

And don’t worry… “Pick the kids up from Daycare” isn’t listed, but they WERE picked up!  

Trying Windows Live Writer

I thought I’d test some software on an old system before I wipe it clean and start fresh.  This is from Microsoft Windows Live Writer updating my seldom-used blogspot page.  I think it’s owned by Google now.  Let’s try a picture upload.  This is the flying club’s Cessna 182 parked on the ramp in Denton one evening a few years ago.
