Treadmill time

I forgot about it until fairly late in the day. It's been a while since I've tried to reserve a treadmill after about 3PM. It gets very crowded after 3:30 or so.

Anyway, 40 minutes, 4 miles, 6.0 MPH constant, random difficulty 6 incline (this varies between 0 and 5%). I think I'm going to bump the incline up a bit. I wasn't really breathing hard, though my heart rate was 180 every time I checked it. That's pretty typical for me though; my heart rate is always running 30 bpm higher than what's supposed to be the "max" for my age.

Well, I was going to photograph it like I did the last one (only better) but I was in the middle of trying to get the new 750G drive installed in the MythTV box before Mythbusters started at 9AM, and it was being cranky. There were 2 250G drives in there and I couldn't remember which one was the primary so I had to boot several times to get things sorted. I did stick my nose outside a few times and look at it, and L took some pictures.

I got a pile of stuff today; the $10 MP3 players arrived today, they're pretty nice. I probably should have gone ahead and gotten 3 since T grabbed one immediately. From Newegg, the 750 showed up on Monday, and today I got a handful of SATA cables and a KVM switch for J's mom to use to switch between her Mac Mini and her old Dell. Also some eBay stuff arrived, spare battery and chargers for J's new phone, but the chargers are wrong, so we'll see if the seller makes good. I checked the description and it definitely says for this phone.

Anyway, the MP3 player is all loaded up with last week's Cartalk, Lucifer's Hammer on audiobook, the next 10 lectures on Biology from TTC, last week's Science Friday, and This Week in Science. At 1GB it's at least 2 or 3 weeks worth of listening.

The 2nd battery on the Zen Micro is dying. I'm probably going to let it die, steal the 8G CF from it and use it in my camera.
