As is typical, things did not go as planned.

I'm having a helluva time with my website. I know I'm not an HTML expert but I do okay. The hosting company offers a webbuilding program and it's not doing what I want it to. It's pissing me off. On top of that I have absolutely no patience for computer things. I'm really good at computers and programs of all kinds. I can pretty much get them to do what I want when I want without too much problem but I have no patience for them, I just don't. Some day I'll tell you about my brush with glory, when I actually got to see the infamous Jobs garage where Apple was born. I've been working on computers my entire life. My first job was a key punch operator on a mainframe. Okay, enough about that, the point is, my website is not ready and probably won't be until next weekend - aaarrrgghhh!!!!!

Moving on. This weekend was okay. We had truck issues and had to take the truck in on Saturday. Due to a last minute change of plans we did not take my car, we figured we'd just wait for the truck. Needless to say 5 hours later we were still there, aaaarrrgghhh!!!!! I know, it was our own fault but still!!!!! Anyway, the truck is fixed.

Moving on. This morning I had planned to bike ride up to a little area called Punaluu and look at a house we might be interested in. But, when I woke up it was pouring rain. Plan B: bust out the trainer and catch up on All My Children. So I had these grand plans of riding for 2 hours (what the hell was I smokin??). After 40 minutes my butt was screaming. I did manage to stretch it to an hour so I was pleased with that. Then I jumped on the treadmill for 15 minutes (must always run after riding) and that was good. Also managed to get a good stretch in, and that was good. So overall today was good :)

I'm feeling very strange today (can you tell by the way I'm writing??). Kind of goofy and a little off kilter. You know what's really pissing me off??? There is 2 hours of Dancing with the Stars - gag me!!!! They cancel Desperate Housewives for that, oh please!!!! At least Grey's Anatomy is on.

I sent in my money for the Iroquois Point Tri, so game on. I decided to go ahead and do it even though I have all this upheaval in my life because it'd be good to keep me training and focused on something other than my life. It's only a 400 m swim but I'm trying to plan my training for the next month so I do well in the swim section. I'm going to focus on swimming and running with the bike on the weekends. I've also decided that February is over. I'm not going to make my goals in running or biking so I'm going to call it a month and shoot for March. In the next couple of days I'll be posting my goals for March and my plans to meet them.

That's all I have to say. Things are going along and hopefully will be all settled soon. Once I get this settled I'll explain, I just don't want to jinx things by talking too soon. I'm a firm believer in karma and I don't need to screw mine up any more at this point in time.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm off to try and get something done on my website - aaaarrrgggghhh!!!!!!!

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
