I'm watching my cat go bonkers because leaves are falling and she wants part of that action. Other than that, I'm trying to get motivated to actually go to the office today, but I'll have to get through my 9 and 10 AM con-calls 1st.

You know its soon to be skiing time when I dig down in the magazine rack next to the hopper and find the old (c. 1993) Peak Ski Guide and re-reading for the 100th time the resort blurbs and looking at 17 y.o. trailmaps....(based on that description, I'll leave it to you to guess what I'm actually doing!). A cold shower is next as we still have no gas......the crew is outside now hopefully getting it finished...then the office. TGIF!!!

I just got done hooking up the replacement AV Receiver for my home theater. I've been in "the cone of silence" for more than 6 months when my 10 year old Home Theater In A Box died. I couldn't justify replacing that kind of stuff when I was unemployed. Noise in my living room came from the crummy speakers on my TV set or a portable Altec-Lansing iPod dock.

I got a $299 @ Best Buy Pioneer VSX-819H 5:1 audio model. So far, I have the TV, DVD player, iPod, and my Polk Audio studio monitor fronts working. I fiddled with the setup and disabled the crossovers that were preventing the bass from going to my speakers. I have some AR studio monitor rears to cable up as my next project.

TV audio, DVD audio, and iPod all work. I'm now in iPod mode.

It's really cool to be able to control the iPod through the AV receiver remote using the TV screen.

My iPod was playing B-52's yesterday so it woke up playing the middle of their first album. I then flipped to some Acid Jazz; a Jamiroquai greatest hits compilation. I realized my next door neighbor was up this weekend and dialed it back. I now have Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik going.

Back from the Women's Tri. So glad I volunteered! 4 other ladies and I ran the 2nd trail water stop (3rd water stop overall) and it was so inspirational seeing these women on the last leg of their journey! After already doing a 1/2 mile open swim, 12+ mile bike, we saw them 2 miles into the 5K running--just over 1 mile from the finish line. Awesome!! Ladies of all shapes and abilities were invited and they delivered! (As a side note, while I did not compete I did walk about 3 miles total between where I parked to volunteer check-in, to the water stop, and then back), so at least I wasn't a slug. :)

Now eating lunch....

That's great Sev. I know when I did/do the Livestrong ride...having volunteers run the water/rest stops is a really great thing....

I'm actually going out now to meet someone who is riding a Petition that is for the Spoke of Hope ride I'm doing tomorrow. http://forums.alpinezone.com/62882-spokes-hope-9-14-09-a.html

The petition is signed by people and then its being ridden all around the country from person to person who are part of the ride....it will eventually be handed to congress on the steps of capital hill in washington on Wednesday at the culmination of the ride.

I picked up that petition...actually its not from all around the country...but it did start in Maine..and was ridden down through NH, Mass, into RI and CT. It's pretty cool to see signatures of people who rode with it from all around NE. I now have it and will bring it to NJ for tomorrow's ride and then down to Maryland and DC. Pretty cool if you ask me!
