A couple of brief showers put an end to any thought of a bike ride this morning. I have been riding every morning up until today. However I delivered over 160 newsletters by foot on Monday in lieu of a bike ride. I think I would have preferred a bike ride actually.
I am off to buy and install a WD TV SMP media player today for one of the ladies from the Computer Club later this morning. She gets a steady stream of movies and TV Shows from me and has been watching them on a very old model media player. It doesn't even play the more modern file types.
If everything goes OK it is straight forward to setup. The major hassle is being able to access her home wireless network which I have set up for her some time ago.
We have begun watching Season 2 of the TV Series "Rome". After a couple of nights we have watched 5 episodes.
I managed to get a copy of the TV movie, "The Challenger". It was about the inquiry into The Challenger shuttle disaster when a space shuttle blew up around 80 seconds into its flight, killing all on board.One physics investigator on the inquiry wasn't prepared for a white wash and persevered until the real cause was discovered.
It was a gripping story and one we enjoyed very much.
We are slowly getting into gear for our trip to Melbourne for Tammy's wedding in a fortnight. Our "Melbourne" car has been resurrected, it was suffering from a very flat battery, Our daughter Kate informs us it is currently running delightfully. Good friends June and Keith look after the car for us and garage it at their place. Usually Keith starts it up every couple of weeks but he overlooked it once. The RACV got it going OK it appears.
We are only in Melbourne for a week and one of those nights will be spent in a hotel after the wedding, another night will be spent with Chris Wendy and the grandkids the night before we are due to fly back home. So we will only be with Kate for 5 nights.
I have already 'teed' Brian up to drive us to the Maroochydore Airport and to collect us on our return.
