Bridge
Here’s a peaceful river scene from our Clark’s Fork campout this summer. Now that we’re in the depths of winter (the Weather Channel actually reported light snow in Stockton this morning, but I don’t think anybody actually saw it), campouts are but a pleasant dream. Sigh.
No post on Friday – I was on vacation. But it was certainly a busy day! We went to a couple of stores on Black Friday. It was certainly an early morning, but it went just fine and we got a few really good deals. Would I go again? Maybe. If I wanted a big-ticket item, definitely. But maybe not again at 4:00 in the morning.
The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. Loyal Reader Number One and I were really busy on Saturday (finally) installing the new radio in the Miata. We went to a local car stereo store and bought the only installation kit available for the Miata. It’s a pretty chintzy plastic universal kit, but it fit with a minimum of cutting, filing, and mucking about and it looks fine. The radio works well and sounds better than the factory relic it replaced. LRN1 pointed out that this is probably the most extensive auto modification I’ve ever performed. He has a point. Oh, and I really like the remote control, although I’m not sure I’ll ever use it. I certainly don’t need it. It’s not like it’s hard to reach the radio itself or anything.
One of the things I like most about it is that it has a jack on the faceplate where I can plug in my iPod. No more cassette or radio adapter! In fact, there’s no cassette player at all (of course). It has a nice CD player that can handle MP3 CDs and even displays the album title and song name. I need to burn a CD so I can check it out Real Soon Now.
During the installation, I pulled a muscle in my arm. Ouch. It was quite sore for about 24 hours and it still hurts a little, but it’s getting better quickly. Pity me, Loyal Readers.
Loyal Reader Number Five called this evening and told us her Thesis defense was tough but successful. She’s earned her Masters degree! Many congratulations, LRN5.
By the way, did I mention that LRN1 got his acceptance letter to BYU last week? Probably so. At any rate, congratulations again, LRN1.
Thanks again to Anonymous for his/her vigilance and to everybody else for their comments too.
See you tomorrow.
