So, there is something I have be able to do recently that I never before had the ability to do not because the technology wasn't out there but because I didn't have the technology to do it. Since I got my laptop I now can view TV on my computer. Hadn't checked it out until last night when I was helping a neighbor out and finding on her computer the site for the NBC Movie of the week The Last Templar for her. She has gotten the converter box and uses it. The picture is great but there are times, like in the old analog signal days, when the signal isn't there so she had watched the first part on Sunday with no problem but last night the signal was in and out so I found it for her online at NBC.com she had to wait till today to see last night's part but will be able to view it tonight. SO when I got home I started playing around on my laptop and spent the rest of the night finding some of my favorites online. I watched to first part of The Last Templar, an episode of NCIS and one of House. Was so excited to find House full episodes online! I haven't had TV of any sort in my own home for going on 4 years now not home enough to pay to have cable or satellite and too lazy to go buy rabbit ears so if I watched anything it was a dvd or at someone else's house. So last nights find was lots of fun! I watched part 2 of The Last Templar today. Like I said I knew this ability was out there but had never played around with before so I guess I am catching up with the times a bit.
Today I walked my puppy to work and back then I got on my neighbor's bike ( because mine has the seat only a 9 year old girl could find comfortable) and rode it to work and back too. Not a bad trip took about 20 minutes round trip. Definitely a doable thing for everyday work transportation. We shall see how my body feels tomorrow and weather permitting will be biking to work. After I get the new seat for my bike I need to work on a basket or saddle bags to carry things in so I can more easily bike to the store or bring things home from work.
Found 26 cents on my walk brings my total up to close to a dollar now I remember the day I found 41 cents and today's 26 but have also found nickles and a couple of dimes and some other pennies so I think we could call it a dollar now. Not that I will get rich finding money on my walks but it does add up. Could have brought home five cans of root beer the other day if I had had a bag with me. Someone must have lost them out of the bed of their truck leaving a store one can was already run over and smashed but the other five were still sealed and fine.
Not to give the impression the I am a trash digger just find it hard to waste so if I had had something to carry them in I would have picked them up. I have thought seriously about bringing a bag for trash pick up with me on my walks or at least doing it once a week or so. But the area I live in does a good job of keeping clean. Even so there are some litterbugs out there.

lol - we haven't bothered with upgrading our tv because we only use it for dvds. Welcome to our world. :D
You are such a thoughtful person. Who would even bother to think about picking up trash. This is a really clean city but for the Tim Horton's cups. I guess it's like Starbucks or some other popular coffee place down there but 1/4 of the price. I think there is a Tim's every 4 blocks here so there are a lot of cups around.
What the heck am I talking about! hahaha...Take care!
