This past week

I did a few things I haven't done for awhile, or before.
I had some roadblocks and I am now moving them out of the way.

• I did up a stew that is great, and mixed it down to make it last.

• We went to Levittown last Saturday to support a Facebook friend, and Neshaminy Alumni. He had a CD release party at a place called "Cheeseburger in Paradise". I called out to a bunch of folks, and we had a nice reunion. Friends from Pennsbury showed up, and it was great. We stayed at the booth for about 3 and a half hours! We got to hear Michael Francis Hughes (I will try to remember to post his website). The waitress was great and we tipped her very well. She was happy about that. Nice memories were shared, stories were told, claims were made, no disclaimers!

• I am supposed to be going for a sleep study to lower the pressure on my CPAP machine, but I may not go because there is quite a charge involved and I can't really afford it. I will have to put up with the strong wind blowing all night.

• I put an ad on a website to try to get some music going.I have been playing guitar since I was 11. Last weekend, I saw my old friend and original guitar teacher. He and I were friends first. We played music to get girls and we did! Not as many as I would have liked, but you can never get enough now, can you?
• I took pictures of my guitar in order to send it out to the builder so he can post an updated shot on the website.
• I did a workout today while wearing leg weights. I pumped on the total gym, and did more free weights than I have in quite some time. It felt good, but I could feel it when my energy levels dropped. I had a bottle of protein drink with me and sipped it throughout.
• Then, I carried some of the junk up the stairs, and took it to the trash pile. I will take it down to the curb tomorrow night if I can still walk! I still have a truckload of stuff to bring up, but this is a new part of my life. Every time I come up the stairs from now on, I will carry stuff until it is gone. The leg weights are 5 pounds each and feel like they are 100 pounds!
• I am talking with my best friend about building a design that we have been talking about for months. It is a speaker system that is a miniature of a concert system. I will use it in small clubs. If we do it right, it will sound great and be able to be heard clearly. My buddy has CAD programs for this type of thing, so as soon as we finish with that, we will start to gather materials and assemble it. I didn't know how complex this could be.

• I am down to 215. These last 3 pounds have been the toughest so far. I think I am building muscle and my body may be getting used to the lack of food. So, every weekend, I will try to mix thing sup a bit food wise, and exercise wise. For the past two months, I have been eating pretty much the same thing everyday. I will start mixing that up. Also, it is getting warmer, so I will get out more often.

My Helix won't start, so I may take the Metro out soon. I have to dust off the 21 speed and get that going.
Anyone want to buy some music equipment? I will have it listed soon.
