The diet Blitz is over. I've lost 10 pounds. Hooray! I hope to lose more but I know it will not be coming off fast.


We did go to see  ' Dark Shadows ' . It was a good movie. We enjoyed it.


I was able to make my Nook Color Tablet do a triple boot. That is to say, I can make it boot normally, or boot to one of two OTHER Android operating systems. Mine are Cyanogen Mod 7 and Cyanogen Mod 9 as Ice Cream Sandwich. It's like having your desktop PC boot to Windows 7, Ubuntu or Linux Debian. CM 7 is the one I am use to, CM 9 is good for me to explore.

What's next? I may root my Panimage tablet, a Samsung Intercept cell phone, or my trusty Droid Incredible. More than likely I'll work on the DVD of our trip to Jamaica. Or I could work on modifying a boot iso file. I have a boot CD that I want to modify. It is a Secure Web Client, "Lightweight Portable Security", which boots a thin Linux operating system from a CD without mounting a local hard drive. It is from ATSPI Technology Branch; the DoD and the Air Force Research Laboratory. It is free at http://spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm. If you have suggestions on how to modify their iso; let me know.

On the diet side, my calories have floated around 2,100 but my net calories have averaged below 1,800. Net effect is, I am loosing weight.

I gave in to letting our daughter and her hubby seed the lawns' bare spots. There are just lots of things I can't do right now and it bugs me to no end. I told my better half that she could not work in the yard today, since she abused her back so badly doing it the other day, trying to seed the lawn.

I've thought about posting a rant on how easy it is (on the inter-web) to be misunderstood; and thus being labeled as a perv (or at least, undesirable). The more I think about it, the more I think I would be misunderstood. Ironic? No?

Mothers Day: 

Yes, I have something for my wife. Also, we plan to go see  ' Dark Shadows ' . Bet you didn't know I was a fan of Jonathan Frid.  More info at http://goo.gl/S0kFJ.  Hum, Dark Shadows on Mothers Day? Will I survive?

Diet Day 11

OK, this is getting tiring. I don't think I'll post every day if I have nothing to say but how many calories I've eaten. Did Thursday with only 2,133 Calories consumed.

On the down side.... Adobe just released, today, ANOTHER update for Flash Player.

Diet Day 10

I think I skipped a day some where. Oh well.

2127 Calories consumed yesterday, Wednesday.

I turned in my numbers for mid-week. We do that to help remind us to keep track. It works! Tonight is POTATO night! Hoop Yahoooo, Yippy! With a bunch more veggies.

Diet Day 8

Walked a lot today. Also replaced the bath room FAN in ceiling. I am tired.
