Something About AC and DC Currents

May it rest in peace :(

Month and a Half Later

Guess who is still on the roof!

Twenty bucks worth.

So I've been wanting to get a treadmill for Abby. I have been patiently fixated on KSL waiting for the deal of the century. And then it happened. Practically new, for only twenty bucks! The only catch was that the computer didn't work. Hey....who cares about the computer as long as the belt goes around, right? I talked to the owner and asked several different times in several different ways, to be sure that the belt actually turned. He assured me that it did.

So Al and Dustin ponied up and went down to Spanish Fork to get it for me. Seems that the 100 lb machine was actually considerably more than that and twice as awkward, BUT it truly is beautiful, practically new and perfect in every way and... I'm sure the belt can go around. Except, it really can't because the computer won't come on to tell it to. It doesn't run. At all. At. All.

So I guess it falls under the "too good to be true" catagory. But Al knows a BYU student graduating in electrical engineering. He is looking at the schematic. He says he thinks he can rewire and bypass the computer. So I am keeping the faith. Until then... Abby and I practice getting on and off. She's got that part down really well. She stands there wondering whats suppose to happen next. Now...if it would only move.

Important numbers for 2010

150
12
100,000

I wouldn't bet any Lotto tickets on them, but these numbers are my New Years resolutions.
I've had alot of resolutions go soft as the year actually began to show teeth,
But this year I'm feeling particularly motivated and especially clear.
No distractions.
No weak sauce excuses.
No more wasted time.
Done, done and done.

Help.

Is this a posture of yearning? Or of gratitude.

But wait.

What about this posture?

Gratitude? Yearning?

Are gratitude and yearning the same thing? I didn't think so. But how do they express themselves in the same posture? And how can two postures be so entirely different and yet be expressions of the same emotions?

What?

Abby and I met this chihuahua while we were out today. Abby was very confused about what to do when dogs bark at you from their rooftops. So, she sat quietly next to me in bewilderment as I took this picture. Gotta say, it was kind of odd!

In Short

Since my last blog became an epic tale, let me just simply state that as this Thanksgiving weekend closes, I feel immense gratitude.
