<p>The problem is if you stop running.</p>
<p>MOWC…any suggestions for a running shoe for D2 who has a large bunion on her left foot??? She basically looks for shoes with mesh inserts to allow the bunion some room. She needs to get new shoes this week.</p>
<p>Gosh, I don’t know! She should probably go get helped at a running specialty store and try everything on to see what feels the best. A roomy toebox and mesh for sure. Nike Frees would feel good but don’t have much support.</p>
I just got out there and cut the grass before the temperature went too far up in the 80s. Supposed to be 90 by tomorrow. I sensed the battery was running down (electric mower) so I literally RAN the last 1/4 of the yard. Good thing I was in the back or anyone observing would have thought I was rather strange. 
My father used to sort of run when he cut his acre of grass/weeds with a regular mower. We used to snicker but I think he just wanted to get an unpleasant job DONE.
Anyway…I worked up a sweat and feel I had a workout. Right? Time for iced tea.
<p>At the new place, waiting for the moving van to arrive. Yesterday was hell. Today, moving day, looks like a piece of cake.</p>
<p>Do you have to be out by Thursday?</p>
<p>Just a quick question. Has anybody else here been getting weird spam messages from roadrunner.com addresses? Not to be confused with Road Runner Sports.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>No, but there are a lot of hackers out there who get into people’s accounts and send out spam/advertising emails. I get them from some yahoo addresses.</p>
<p>idad, was Post #17,385 your first post from the new place? Time for champagne!!</p>
<h1>17375 was from the new place yesterday afternoon after Larry the Cable Guy left… I then drove back to the house, stopping for a take out order of fried clam strips and (yes…) onion rings. After dinner, I worked non-stop til after midnight getting organized for the movers… Breaking down desks, emptying bureau drawers, etc. I was as tired as I’ve ever been.</h1>
<p>Movers arrived at 8 this morning. Everything went easy/peasy and they finished at 1 pm. I’d already reassembled the desk, gotten the plasma TV on its stand and so forth. I’ve got high def big screen TV, internet (but still have to move the computer), and I’m drinking my first cup of coffee and eating my first blue cheese salad for lunch.</p>
<h1>17385 was this morning, waiting on the moving van to arrive from the old house.</h1>
<p>I’m just going to putz around here, hang a mini blind, move the computer, etc. Eat dinner at Cracker Barrel and call it a night. The round trip would definitely be no good on the holiday weekend Friday rush hour. I’ll head back to the old house in the morning and take stock of what is left to be moved (food, kitchen, garage stuff, odds, ends, some dump runs) and try to round up the kitties. They were in full freak mode this morning.</p>
<p>Thought about a workout this afternoon, but I’m so still and sore I can barely get up out of a chair.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We have to be out by Tuesday night. Closing on Wednesday. The house is basically empty now. Just some odds and ends, some more kitchen stuff, and the contents of the fridge and freezer. Then cleanup.</p>
<p>Leave it to a guy, right? I needed to bring some plates over today and I had a half full hamper of clean underwear. So I just put in a plate, a layer of underwear, a plate, a layer of underwear! Worked so well I put the underwear back in the bin and will go for another load of breakables…</p>
<p>^^^That might not be a guy-thing. Makes sense to me!</p>
<p>Two sets of tennis with the better guy. We split sets, 6-4, 2-6. He gave me my strung racquet back and I started hitting with it and couldn’t get any power out of it. I thought that it was the strings (he used Luxilon Fluoro which is a fluorescent green color - popular with younger players. After hitting for about ten minutes, I went to switch to my other frame which isn’t matched to my current frames. It wasn’t a perfect match and is my last choice but it does have more punch. While switching, I realized that there wasn’t any lead tape at 3/9 - I guess that I took it off at some point. So I use a racquet that’s a little too heavy for me - you can lose power with a racquet with too little weight or too much weight. Too much swingweight and you can’t accelerate the racquet-head fast enough. Too little swingweight and there isn’t enough mass behind your shot.</p>
<p>So I’ll put some lead tape on the one that is strung. I also gave him my other racquet that also needs strings. I’m going to ask my buddy in France if he has any more of the ones that I like.</p>
<p>I had a considerable workout today. Was quite drenched when we were done. I froze two liter bottles - half-full of water and filled the bottle with water before heading out. This guy really makes you move.</p>
<p>I’m at the office right now - getting ready to go to the apartment with a bottle of 409 and a roll of towels to do final vacuum and clean the bathroom and countertops. We should be done but I may come back Sunday night to do some more cleaning if I feel that I didn’t get everything done.</p>
<p>Then a little furniture assembly tonight and I welcome a long sleep tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>Ewwwww – you mean that after you move everything out you’ve got to go back and clean!!! </p>
<p>For me, the cleaning is a workout in and of itself.</p>
<p>I don’t have to. But I like to leave a place in good condition. It’s an hour of work at most.</p>
Yeah. Tell me about it. I’m under no illusions that the next four days will be a walk in the park. But, the good news is that at least I’m settled in and starting to get organized. Put in a window air conditioner this afternoon. That’s two of the three.
Installed the third mini blind in the living room. That’s where I was concerned about TV and stereo gear being an inviting target through the windows. The living room actually looks great. The wall of TV and stereo stuff fits. I brought one love seat and a matching rocker, an end table, and a coffee table. Next on the agenda is minimal hi fi – front speakers and center channel. After that I’ll decide on the surround speakers and subwoofer.
Got the computer moved up to the spare bedroom/office/Airdyne torture chamber. Everything works. I have a 50 foot ethernet cable snaked up the stairs from the cable modem in the living room. I’ll need to spend some time taping that down, but it’s functional.
<p>Why not get a wireless router?</p>
<p>Good timing on the AC - it’s supposed to be humid tonight and in the 90s tomorrow.</p>
<p>I ran a CAT5 cable between the basement and first floor many, many years ago. We have wireless too but the infrastructure is more wired than wireless. The wireless is needed for iPod Touch and iPad devices.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a possibility. My impression, perhaps erroneous, is that there is a significant performance hit, but that may not be the case with a single user?</p>
If you have a Wireless N router and Wireless N devices, then you should be fine for performance unless you are copying huge files around. Even Wireless G isn’t bad for most stuff including streaming video.
