A short entry
I think a sensor on the Sebring is kaput. The oil pressure light came
on this morning. Then it went off. Then it came back on before going
off again. Eventually it stayed on so I took it back to JiffyLube after
going to work for a while. They had changed the oil about a month ago.
They gave it a once over and verified that it was not their work that
was at fault — there was plenty of oil and no signs of leaking. So I
drove down the street to the dealer who accepted the car for work that
day.
Appointments are for suckers.
No, I don’t mean that. I normally try to make appointments, but this was an exception. By 8:30am I was back at my desk!
Again,
the weather is gorgeous. Sixty degrees and sunny! I worked out again
and really kicked my ass. I worked hard and felt really good afterwards
– like I had accomplished something. I had a small lunch of V8 and a
roast beef sandwich. I haven’t been weight training lately and I think
I need to change that. Honestly, I’m not trying to burn off all the
calories I take in on a daily basis. If I work hard and sweat like a
beast for thirty minutes that’s still (at most) 200 calories. Which is
about a bagel, I think.
Its nothing, is it? But what I’m
counting on is between cutting down on inbound calories and increasing
the burning of the calories that I can loose the weight. Additionally,
I need to increase my metabolism. And adding muscle will increase my
metabolism. So I’ll see if I can work some weight training in to my
schedule a few times a week.
Its supposed to rain cats and dogs between torrential downpours this weekend.
*sigh*
Hey,
here’s something cool. I got a good price on a bicycle mount for my
Garmin eTrex Vista GPS unit! I think it will be fun to fasten it to the
bike and have it track where I’ve been and how fast I went.
Additionally, I’ve always thought it would be fun to go geocaching on a
bike. Well, faster anyway. I think it will be fun!
