Dave Kopper's WeblogDress like flowers and eat like birdsTest- March 28, 2006 This is a test of the new weblog location. My new weblog URL is: http:www.birman.orgdavehttp://www.birman.org/dave/2006/03/27.html#a429 Spring is getting close...- March 18, 2006 Last week we got up to 60 degrees a couple of days. Lot's of birds have returned. This week we went back to around freezing again. Spring is right around the corner. I exercised everyday this week. And a pointer for kids today: http:kids.daveramsey.com - go there and you can readwatch one of the kids books that Dave Ramsey created. These have stories of how kids can learn about money. Really well done.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/18.html#a428 Monday - Oh baby! It was a good day!- March 14, 2006 I made some great progress at work today (fill in blank here... just can't talk about it :-) Today was weight lifting day. I did two reps of the whole set of lifts. Some days you feel like a whimp :-( I'm working on getting healthy and it's not fun. But I'm feeling better day by day. Today I had to reduce the amount of weight to something that I thought I'd be able to handle until the end. I only had 30 pounds for the barbell and eight pound weights for the others. It's not a huge amount of...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/13.html#a427 Gaming old school- March 13, 2006 I've always liked video games. More adventure related games - like final fantasy. The old game systems aren't nearly as spiffy as the new ones. But there are a lot of great old games. Maureen really liked playing a game called Bust-a-move. It's a puzzle game that ran on the good old Super Nintendo. We might be able to dig it up again if I dug around long enough... maybe. Fortunately there are emulators for a lot of the old game systems. I played around with one called SNES9x for Mac OS X,...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/12.html#a426 Exercise exercise exercise...- March 12, 2006 I'm still exercising. Day by day it's getting a little bit easier. Last week I skipped a total of one day (Wednesday - because of DnD the previous night). I used the eliptical trainer three times and lifted weights three times. The good part is that I'm getting better at it. On the 4th I got to .62 miles in 20 minutes, this morning it was .69 miles (I'll take my 0.07 miles thanks :-) I've almost made it to 4 miles... :-) In financial news - we're on budget and doing pretty well. Gotta get our..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/12.html#a425 More exercise...- March 6, 2006 I did the eliptical trainer both saturday and sunday (20 minutes each day, 0.61 miles and burned about 122 calories each day). I also started the weight training program on ifit.com and lifted weights this morning. http:earth.google.com is kinda cool if you like looking at the earth. Slick 3D animation from place to place. Maureen pointed it out today... well... actually delayed me getting to work because she wanted it installed on her computer this morning. Time to wrap up work for today....http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/06.html#a424 I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!- March 4, 2006 I've gone over to the light side. What am I talking about Lots of stuff. Listening to the Dave Ramsey Show everyday, I keep picking up sayings and books. One thing that Dave Ramsey says is that you need to have a 'I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and I'm going to do something about it' moment. This is when you are going to change something - whatever 'it' is. It started with Financial Peace University (see http:www.daveramsey.com for lots more). We had fought with our finances for...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100104/2006/03/04.html#a423 |
