Luau for the dogs

It was a busy evening for me as I shuttled myself between a couple of events last night.

First up was WHLR‘s Bow Wow Luau fundraiser event.

It was hosted by the folks at Down to Earth, an outdoor garden/living space type place that had a lot of neat stuff: plants, fountains, outdoor furniture, that kind of thing.

There were some nice beachy tunes being played and some great food provided by Square Onion.

There were some great baskets being raffled off and everybody there seemed to be having a good time.

Birthday pair

Heather and Mr. Heather/Tim were nice enough to host a party for themselves and invite a few people, so I made the journey out to Moncks Corner to join them.

Shuffling along

I think the running is starting to get a little easier. The first lap is getting a little easier to get through and I’m still sucking wind at the end of my mile, but the in-between parts feel better. I think my pace is getting a bit faster too.

The heat still makes it tough to run although today was a little cooler than Monday’s run. Now up to doing a 3 lap warm up walk, jog/shuffle 6 laps, a 3 lap cool down walk and then 3 more laps on the indoor track to finish cooling off. Total distance of 2.5 miles.

Definitely feeling much better about running than when I first started out, but it’s still tough.

Water + PDA = Hosed

After wondering where my PDA had wandered off to, I found it in my pants pocket.
The pants that I pulled out of the washing machine and was about to toss in the dryer.

Oh. Crap.

This is what it looked like when I put it on the cradle.

See the pretty cloud background? That’s not a background image.

I was actually quite surprised it even turned on. Then it did this

The T3 only has power when it’s on the cradle, so I suppose that means it’s pretty much dead.

I guess this will be my chance to ugprade. It’s too bad Palm doesn’t have anything I want to upgrade to. Guess I’ll be surfing the internets looking for a used T3.

Cristobal christened

NHC has made TD3 into TS Cristobal with the 2PM update.
Judging from the radar loop, it looks like the most we’ll be getting is some breeziness and maybe little rain from the outer bands.
From the 2PM NHC advisory:

CRISTOBAL IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST NEAR 7 MPH AND THIS GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON THIS TRACK…THE CENTER OF THE TROPICAL STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE COASTS OF SOUTH AND NORTH CAROLINA TODAY AND TOMORROW.
