I Will Run 500 Miles!
Week Five: Lazy! Lazy! Lazy! Again, I did not get out during the week. Only ran once during the weekend. It was a great run. Afton again, so beautiful.
Totals for the week: 3.0 miles
Yearly Total: 23.1 miles (-20.92 miles)
Week Six: Ran only on the weekend and then only once. 4.81 through Kingston to Hinton back on 70th. Not fun on 70th because I had to run on the road. I fear for my life running on the street in the winter. I feel like a car could skid out at any moment.
Totals for the week: 4.81 milesYearly Total: 27.91 miles (-25.92 miles)

Project Ping Pong
A friend of my, JT, once told me that no project was easy and no project would take less than four hours.
Twenty years later, I have found that this is true with an addendum. If you think the project will take more than four hours, it will inevitably take a multiple of four hours.
This was true putting together the boy's Christmas gift.
The following is a blow by blow picture documentary of the construction project.
The box. Heavy and exciting! The project begins.
What you can not tell is that the temperature outside the garage was ten below zero, temperature in the garage, not much warmer.
I swear, 30 minutes later.
Looks easy, not. One hour later.
Another hour later, total project time so far 3 hours.
Two hours 45 minutes. Ok, maybe I ate dinner during that time, and maybe, I made and drank hot coffee, and maybe I had some help by Anthony.
DONE!!! Total time of project: 8 hours! Theory hold again.
Note, we had the first Cauthorn Ping Pong tournament that was won by me. The boys were shocked. Get used to it boy, get use to it.
