A Stumpy Morning *&*
Saturday morning and Open Diary is once again acting up. After a few days of working fairly well it is back into “time out land”.
One thing that I learned from my “Writing for the Media” class was to be sure to be able to back up any facts of which you write. I was going crazy trying to get information on “Apple Airlines” the short lived low cost carrier I flew on. Then it hit me, that airline name was New York Air!! They used a slogan pertaining to New York being “The Big Apple”.
Instead of attempting an edit to my previous entry I figured I would just correct that misinformation today!
A New York Air jet photo pulled from the innertubes:
I started my Concept 2 Challenge yesterday. I keep track of my meters at my on-line logbook at the Concept 2 site. I’m posting a screenshot of that logbook for my first day of the challenge, and I’ll post the last day so my meters will be out there “to the world”! The number on the left is my lifetime meters and the right number (10,000) is my challenge meters. I need to get over 200,000 meters to qualify for a challenge pin. I’ve got to do it… this year will make for pin number 5!!
Wednesday night I cooked up shrimp and pasta. This is such an easy meal to prepare. Olive oil, butter, garlic, a splash of white wine, some lemon juice, and seafood seasoning sprinkled over the cooked shrimp. I mix the drained pasta (cooked up with rosemary) to this in the cast iron frying pan and plate it up. Stump joined me, but he does not really care about shrimp, so he did not stay long by my supper.
Not long after I heard Stumpy making a commotion in the dining room. Checking on him, he was very agitated. He had a mouse! What a good boy. I opened the front door so he could get right outside. That goober boy just growled at me and ran to the back of the house wanting instead to go into the back yard. He took off through the cat door to parts unknown. What a life we lead!
Speaking of Stumpy, here is an illustrated history on how he starts his day:
After his pill and wet food it is time to sack out on the bed.
He needs to do stretches:
Waking up for a bit to get more food:

Time for more sleep:
I’ll always be in awe of what computers and the internets enable me to do. The first three pictures I took very early this morning. The last shot I just spun the chair around and snapped. To think I’ll post these pictures to photobucket and from there they will attach to my journal entries which can be read all over the world is still almost beyond my comprehension.
Must get on with my day…will be on the Concept 2 this afternoon……
