Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

90 with heat index of 101.

93 with a dew point of 82 here - that's around 115 for a heat index.

Is 2015 not good enough?

He's in a different social strata than GTO with his exclusive credit cards, fancy pillows and such.

Went home to take a shower and change clothes. Maybe not the most efficient, but I found new places to sweat I think. Go back and more or weed trim some.

When I try to run it is like I am stuck in neutral. Maybe my shoes are the problem.

Take off the pedal cleats?

Also needed to take mom to the clinic for some blood tests. Lady just walked by with two black eyes.

Not inferring or implying anything, but it sounds like I need to make a trip to Iowa, and then down to Mexico.

James Bond is turning into pencil pusher.

Or he is sending us all for a loop and James Bond got in trouble and moving to KC is code for spending some time in Leavenworth.

So I am thinking about getting more serious about the whole running for fitness/fun thing and was talking with a friend. They suggested going to Running Wild (A local running store) to get shoes so I know that they are good, will fit and what not. He said he spends $130-$150 on a pair and goes through 2 ish pairs a year. Is that normal?

Yes, except of the $130-150 a pair. Unless you have problems you may not need to buy the most crazy expensive. Or get the close out models. It's not like they are reinventing shoe tech every year.

I would look at fitting and such on a site like Road Runner (assuming you have no special needs/hurts etc) to at least get an idea on your own feet and whether you need cushioning or stability or both etc.

it's deceiving as I sit here running my heater. Looks breezy and sunny. No haze and can't see the heat radiating from the parking lot.

$12 copay for a doctor visit? That seems suspiciously low.

RUNNING HEATER???!!!! WTF?! Too COLD? To a person outside sweating, those are fighting words. You're lucky it's too hot outside or you would look like the lady I saw in the clinic.

I also find it ridiculous. But they crank it up because the upstairs gets warm. I sit downstairs. I have two degrees of temp control in my office. I'm probably not the only one down here running a heater, either. I can't imagine the amount of energy waste from it.

Sorry WDSM, sounds like CG is cold downstairs.

shut off my heater now.Wonder if the server is overheating or something like in tv shows when hard drives melt. Transferring at the speed of molasses. Wonder if it's going to take a **** again like this morning. Gah, it better not, I'm so close to done.
