Odd Morning Conversations

Mr. Container is reading "Dummies Guide to Freemasons". It's actually pretty interesting. We were talking this morning about the Freemasons allowing Lords into the organization back in the day, like the 1700's, in England. There are only 3 levels, but some of them added more and more levels, like the conspiracy-tastic 33rd or 31st level. Something like that. We starting talking about how the Lords were probably not the ones to start this as they already had weird ceremonies and levels, like the 4th Duke of Burkinshire and Barron of Paddingtonbearvilleinshire. Too many Dukes, Barons, Marquesses, Earls and Viscounts. (Thank you Wikipedia for those titles.)

Mr. Container busts out with, "When you wear the crown of Aqualonia upon a troubled brow it might be nice to lay those troubles aside from time to time.... But I don't think Conan would ever join the Masons."

I love my Geek.

Psalm 40:2 (New International Version)

² He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

I wonder if this is true

The verb “cleave” is the only English word with two synonyms that are antonyms of each other: adhere and separate.

Sunday Adventures

Today brought another adventure.

We drank coffee at the shop again. They're very busy on Sundays. We sat out front this time. It was nice, but just a bit cold.

I did more programming, learning loops for the first time. Exciting!

Yesterday I wanted to ride our motorcycle. It's been a while, I've been trying to get over the fear and back into the "I love it!" feeling. The bike won't start. Our neighbor and I agreed that it sounded like the battery. I looked up instructions online on how to jump start a bike. Turns out it's the same as jumping a car. If you're jumping from a car battery, you don't start the car. It will ruin the bike's ignition system because the car battery is more powerful.Today I got out our jumper cables, figure out how to expose the battery on the bike and hooked it up. No love. So I went down to Escondido Motorsports and bought a battery charger. I spent the next 30 minutes following the instructions in the manual on how to remove the battery. I think I've conquered a bit of my fear of electricity. Progress!

The battery is now charging in the "mud room"/laundry room.Every weekend I also try to do a little house work. Yesterday I figured out how to change the code on the garage door pad outside. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought. I just needed to find the make and model and Google it.

The internet is amazing. You can find anything from how to jump a motorcycle to how to change your garage door passcode.

Rock on Internet!
