bored on a saturday afternoon.

It’s been a few weeks since I actually posted more than a link, or tweet. I don’t feel like writing a lot about anything important. So here is an update, and enjoy the pix.

Today is a gloomy day in Sierra Vista. The weather report online says it should rain later, which is cool. It didn’t seem to rain much for our monsoon season this year.

I’ve spent the last hour or so finishing up watching a really cool DVD I started watching a week ago, called Walt Disney’s Tomarrowland. It has some really great old school Disney animation, and effects. I’ve really enjoyed the first 2 of 3 episodes on this disc.

My dad went to go see his College team play. So today I’m pretty bored and alone, and the dog is mopping around the house too. Coming out to the living room whenever there is a noise outside.

I’m kinda getting hungry so maybe I’ll go get something to eat later if I can decide on somewhere to eat. It’s amazingly difficult to choose where to eat in a city this small. I don’t know if that’s saying a whole lot for the choices around, but more or less where do I feel less disgusted eating at. Thinking of food, man-o-man was the food at Neil’s wedding good and tasty. This makes me wish there were more ethnic food places locally to patronize. Cheap mexican food is likely on the menu again tonight.

An observation I’m having right now…

There is a flat bed tow truck across the street, it just pulled a car out of the garage. The thing is, the garage is like 3 feet raised above the street level, and the driveway is short, so the angle is like 30-40 degrees. It’s been interesting to watch for the last 10 minutes. Had I thought more about the flat bed truck, I would have made a video with my camera.

Ah, I know what else I can write about. I got a new phone when I was in California at the end of August. After just under 3 weeks with it, I finally decided it was not worth another 2 year contract to me. The Nokia 6085, just did not like my mp3 collection, and the quality of the camera phone was foul at best. I did manage to capture a couple nice pictures on the ride home from California though. I need to figure out the html code, or whatnot to get the pictures and text to line up better.

laptop battery capacity

I lost some capacity on my laptop battery to{day,night} because I accidentally left it on and unplugged when I went out to dinner tonight. :(

The last full capacity had been 8331 mWh for quite a long time after I began keeping track of my battery usage, and draining the battery at least once every two weeks hoping to extend the life of my new battery. Ohwell.

new battery update

I haven’t really been using the new battery that much, I kept it around a 40% discharge, then I charge it up or let it sit, and use my older battery, and leave it plugged in to the wall. Since doing the initial charge cycles, the battery doesn’t appear to have lost any more capacity.
