Extended Weekend...

S is for Sarah and Sick
Sarah started on a flu/sinus infection last night and it knocked her down today. I left work soon after I got there to come home and help her out. Along with being sick she was able to find something to give her horrible heartburn.

Go fly a kite
I took G over to castle Park to fly kites. Ya'know what flying kites and no wind equal up to....right, a lot of running :o) Gryphon really enjoyed himself though. After a couple laps of kite running we walked down to the little amphitheater. Gryphon got up on the stage and I got him to do a bunch of Elton john songs. Actually after he did his first he kept going with-out encouragement. He would go around the back and I would chant his name and cheer. He would come stomping out (why he was stomping I am not quite sure, maybe he thinks it is rock star like :o) and perform his songs. He did "crocodile Rock", "Benny and the Jets", "Get back honky cat", "Saturday" and then busted out songs from his other group "...I'll have to get the name again. He would walk around to the back stage area between every song.

RTS Skatepark update
I stopped by the park on the way home and they are very close to being finished. The ramps look larger than the Skatewave stuff I was used to. Maybe that's due to them allowing bankers in. The best thing was that they are not going to monitor the park and pads are only "highly recommended" Whohooo! I may still just wear knee pads since Ill be going during lunches.

Diet
Well I got the scale back up to 173. I haven't been there for a month or 2. I have to start watching what I am eating again. I should be able to knock the bread stuff out again...

Suse 9.1
I have a few things that I need Linux to be able to o do for me to make a major switch.

  • Play Avi's - Cant get it to work
  • Rip DVD's - Haven't tried.
  • convert DVD files to avi - Haven't Tried

that's it so far...Every thing else works fine. The net connection seems slower than from windows and the CPU seems to get overloaded quickly for some reason.
