0606 Mo
  * up 7:30; W=199.8; drugs, nose, teeth, hair, laundry, coffee
  ~ forgot to re-enable the goddamn alarm again.  :(
  * lunch via the BBB (not to be confused with BB&B)
  @ ebonypearl: Find Our Hearts
  @ Copenhagen Suborbitals Launch Videos (wcg)
  * productive at work
  @ marypcb: Cut the price of Windows: managing the desktop several ways
  @ firecat | It's expensive to be poor  Firecat provides a good
    summary; you may not want to bother with the cracked.com article
  * our new Trane HVAC will be installed this week.  I expect it to pay for
    itself immediately, in the sense that the savings should exceed the loan 
    payments.  Stay tuned.
  * 15min: locate maple for cutting boards
  * bath ~10:15; to sleep ~11

I forgot to turn the alarm back on after the weekend, and got up at 7:30 (an hour late). Made for a slightly tight morning. But work was reasonably productive, so that's good.

And Colleen arranged for our new HVAC to be installed later this week, so that's good too. It will take a while to show up on the bills, but I expect the savings to be considerably more than the loan payments.

Cool link: Copenhagen Suborbitals Launch Videos -- this is an amateur group building a sub-orbital passenger rocket. Way cool! Some of the other links are less happy -- our society is pretty screwed up.

In model rocketry, we call that "wad-o-plastic recovery," as opposed to parachute recovery.
