Noticing The Aging Process

Yesterday was a holiday in the Cayman Islands.  Heroes Day. So this Tuesday  morning is the first day of the work week.

Up until now, if you asked, I’d say that I feel the same as I did in high school. Yesterday, I  woke up thinking that I feel older. Also, suddenly, I notice I look older in the mirror. 
Write it Down, humans feel the same till they are 56, then they notice the aging process for the first time. 
Hanes a good day. And week.

Back On Twitter

I’m back on Twitter, i never really left, just haven’t opened the app in a year or so. @markd60.

Taking the scooter to the shop today after my crash. I have a kinda big scab on my upper lip, and still, A swollen ankle. No beach lunch, no transportation.

I’m very interested in MH370, the lost plane. I guess that it will fall out of the news into obscurity.

Have a great day!

The Plan

Todays plan was to ride my scooter to the repair shop, drop it off, and walk to work. But I don’t feel like doing that now. Maybe I’ll put it off for a day or  two. Maybe I should just put it behind me and git ‘er done too.

Last night I made steaks and potatos on the grill. Wife made asparagus inside. It was quite good, except the we were out of aluminium foil, so I cooked the potatoes without it, and the skins were a little dry  but not burnt.

After dinner, I researched why asparagus made your pee smell funny. Very interesting, you should look into it.


And that’s it! Have a great day!

Motorcycle Crash 2

thursday on the way home from work, I crashed my bike. I was overtaking someone and they turned wth no turn signal. It was stupid of me. I waited till I thought they weren’t turning, went, and they turned.

Basically the same thing that happened to me before.

I did a face plant in the street, fat lip; messed up my ankle, mostly my big toe. The bike has twisted forks at the very least. Not to mention busted plastic.

I took a sick day Friday, spent the weekend resting and recuperating, and it’s back to work today.

American football. The only team I like that’s left is Green Bay Packers. Lets go Pack!

Almost Friday!

Woke up thinking it was Wednesday, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that its Thursdaym, and tomorrow is Friday!

Hopefully  got my SD card issues sorted out. I thought all was well yesterday, then my music disappeared again! First, the music player says it “cant play this type of file”, then the folders empty, then they disappear. I swapped the SD cards beetween my phone and tablet. I can play music now, and the tablet seems OK too. We shall see.

Have a great day!

Ongoing Phone Problem

I’ve mentioned how my phone lost everything on my SD card. I read on the internet that it needs to be reset. After proving that the card was good, amnd trying everything else, I did a hard reset, and set the phone to factory conditions. In hindsight, I realize that the problems started right after a big update. Soooo, maybe if today I put some music on my SD card, it will stay there.

One annoying thing. I kee getting a notification that an app needs permission, but won’t tell me what app or what permission.

Also, I need a new tire on my car. I put two cans of fix a flat in it yesterday, one at lunchtime and one before the ride home. I hardly ever drive it, but have been this week, because of the windy weather.

Another day. here we go! Have a good one!

Handshake VS Fistbump

In the Caribbean, many years ago, I noticed that people tended to “fist bump” rather than shake hands. Almost immediately, if not immediately, I liked it better than handshaking. 

Did you ever shake hands with someone who had wet, or sticky hands? Or with someone who had a hand like a cold wet fish? Or sometimes I don’t “get in position” quickly enough, and the other person grabs my four fingers and I think, “great, now they think  I’m fishy handed”.

I like fist bumping a whole lot better than handshakes.

I kinda thought this was going to be an origina-ish post, but when looking for the above images, I found much on the subject, and apparently, I am not alone in my thinking.

Today it is still quite cold and windy. It seems like super cold weather all over the northern hemisphere.

I almost got done with my closet that I’ve been biulding, and decided I kind of have to start over. I have scratches in the plaster and you can see the boundary between the old wall and new, and I think I’m going to have to sand more and re-paint. But the closet is quite roomy and really nice. I’ll post somepics later on.

Have a great day!!!

Data Loss Weekend

My SD card on my phone was full, so Friday i got a 64 Gigger to replace my 32 gigger. I transferred all the data from the 32 to my ‘ol windows computer, put in the 64, and copied it all over to the new. When I got done, there was nothing on the new card. And nothing enywhere else, all my music and pictures were gone.

Crap like that only happens to me. I KNEW I should have used the android to move the files instead of windows, I thought windows would be safer, having more storage space.

I have all the music backed up, but the camera pics on my phone were not backed up, and lost.

Here it is very cold and windy. 7-9 foot waves on the north, no swim today. It should settle down in a few days.

And that’s about it, another Monday. NFL wildcard games were this weekend, don’t really care anymore.

Have a great week!!!
