This post is broken up into random bits of things happening, life, and updates:

Computer: I ordered 2GB of DDR 400 ram from new egg a few nights ago, and they shipped it basically in 1 day (and that was with free shipping!). I now have 3GB of ram installed, woo. Everything is most definitely faster, and overall OS use is less laggy.

Life: Bonita and I have both been staying pretty active. Last weekend I rode Rob’s 2nd bike to a park between our houses, and kicked a soccer ball around with Rob and Karen. Afterward we rested at their apartment for a while, and then I rode back to the house, showered, and we went out to eat. Randomly throughout the past couple weeks we’ve gone swimming at April and Thomas’ apartment. Other random times Bonita and I go and walk around the neighborhood. All this while still keeping a regular gym schedule Busy busy!

Speaking of the gym, our progress has been good and steady. A few weeks ago I pulled or overextended something in my left shoulder/rotator cuff area. I gave my arm a few days of gentle care and use, to see if I really needed to go to a specialist or not. Luckily it did heal on it’s own. I found some pictorial guides on rotator cuff physical therapy, and those really helped. I’m back into my normal routine, but taking things very slow. This program we’re doing now is typically 3×8 sets, but i’ve broken the heavy shoulder work down into 6×4 sets. It seems to be fine so far. This morning I weighed 210.5 again (I hit 210 about two weeks ago, and have steadily floated around 211). It’s time to see 209 hit the scale.

This weekend i’m going with Bonita to her 10 year high school reunion. It’s been quite an asinine experience on the planning side… lack of interest, delays, not picking venues that anyone liked. Finally they agreed everyone will meet at the Bulldog in Jackson. I think all 5 people and myself will have a good time….

Mark and I have finally set a date to go get our motorcycle endorsements. I’ve been studying a bit each night through the manual. I’ll definitely be ready when the time comes. We’ll have to take a written test, and then do a riding test. The current plan is to haul the bike to the Laurel DMV, do everything, and I ride the bike back home, and Mark heads into work. I’ve taken the day off because a) It may take a while to get both tests completed b) I want to ride around for a while with my new found 2-wheel freedom. The on-bike experience I have now has been riding around the neighborhood, and a local church parking lot that’s connected to the neighborhood roads.

This has been the most random post evar, but I wasn’t sure how to get it all down, so I just started typing .
