Was the Facebook launch a flop? It really depends on who you ask. But we will talk more about that later.
Friday, I took Man Child to school and made sure the dogs were very quiet as to allow Devin to sleep in a bit. I had dropped off my computer at Apple the night before so I really couldn't do anything about the blog. Devin and I went shopping for exercise equipment we looked at a GTS machine and the Precore treadmill. At the sporting goods store there were two models I was interested in. When I asked the salesman about the difference between the two expensive models will he looked at me as though I was an idiot for asking.
There was about a $400 difference between the two models. Apparently if you're spending a lot of money on a treadmill it is stupid to ask what the $400 difference actually buys you. The salesman said "I will have to find the manual to find out." That was his upsell line I guess. We suggested he go and get it. Then we asked him to plug in the floor model so we can see how it worked. He was not very happy. In the long run we bought the more expensive one because we will be able to hang more laundry on it.
Now a GTS machine is like a Total Gym (Think of Christie Brinkley and Chuck Norris) on steroids. It is supposed to be really cool and you can really hang an awful lot laundry on a GPS machine.
Then Devin I did something we have not done in decades. We snuck off to a matinee too see Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp. Okay, now Depp was not there with us, he was in the movie, good movie. I can recommend it is worth the price of the matinee and admission.
For dinner, Man Child wanted a Taco feast as I was learning the world of Macintosh. So far I like it, but had a couple of glitches with the printer and the Trackpad.
This morning I played with the computer and downloaded a few toys. Dragon Speak Light was one of the applications that I downloaded. I am using it right now to do this blog. I talk and it types with about an 80% accuracy. So you can expect much much longer blogs. Then I went to Fullerton to meet Dennis at the world-famous Marriott's fly shop store for a seminar on surf fishing for Corbina. It was interesting and expensive, as I need new gear to fly fish in the surf. It is good exercise and I'm actually looking forward to it. My buddy Dennis and I stood in the back of a standing room only presentation. We have our list of things to buy so we can be kings of the surf fish whisperers.
Tonight Devin and I dined on hotdogs and tater tots then we watched a few season finale programs and now it is time to blog.
