Sunday Sep 5 Day 95
Well all my theories about moisture and power connection to my laptops has been blown to hell. My major concern had been the complete failure of my PC to charge up and be usable. This morning I discovered that the power supply had been disconnected for the last several days. My Mac is working just fine and is connected when ever the electricity is on. I need NO major fix to continue using my laptops. This is a great relief!!
I am continuing to acclimatize myself by taking walks each morning and afternoon. I am also trying to figure out how to use my GPS unit to record the trails. It turns out that I failed to load interface program onto my machine so I am out of luck for that project. I am now testing to see how to record the elevation and distance of individual trails by hand into a excel spreadsheet. The first day I used the track log program I discovered that the track was cumulative from the time you start the machine until you clear the track log. My GPS device listed that I had traveled 5.8 miles but my map showed it as only 2 miles. It was adding all the tracks together. I hope today’s test will solve my problem.
It is raining again. Yesterday I discovered my new umbrella does not keep all the rain out. It leaks a little where the stick goes through the cloth. At least it keeps my back pack completely dry. It is really interesting to see the water gushing through the down spouts and over the hill side. The only problem is I need dry weather to do my taping so the rain is not what I need no matter the beauty. The scenery has changed completely. The hillside is unimaginable green and the ferns and flowers crowd the trails. The narrow trails and are just narrow paths between the foliage. Everywhere there are fern and moss covered trees and patches of wild dahlias. I can hardly wait to start taping.
Shirt and pants get wet where the rain gear is in contact with them. I am having trouble warming up with wet clothes on. My room is a balmy 62 degrees which doesn't help in getting dry. The only way to get the clothes dry is to wear them.
I discovered an interesting by product to extreme moisture. II need to break one of my pills in half. Usually this entails having a pair of stout thumbnails to accomplish this task. Tonight I was able to break the pill using only one thumbnail. The pill broke apart at the slightest pressure. While digging the pills out of my daily container I evidently pressed down on another pill and part of it broke crumbled into powder. The moisture has softened the pills and I shall have to make sure I do not shake the bottle or all I will have is a container of powder. We have all tasted the powder of pills and how will I be able to get the correct dose?
