Cold!

OK, I guess I'm really not ready for winter. It's gotten a little bit too cold to ride my bike, even though yesterday I saw an old guy up on the Bizz riding his bike. In fact, I told him it was a little too cold for bike riding. He seemed to agree with me but I couldn't hear him very well through the music that was coming through my headphones so I just kept walking. Nice guy,huh!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day. I'm going fishing in the morning up at Eagle Lake with Rene, an old friend of mine. I've been skunked four times already, which incidentally, is the total number of times I've been up there this year. I'm hoping tomorrow breaks that string of bad luck. Unfortunately, the weather is not looking too favorable for a good day at that lake. I usually like to see some clouds, some wind, and my bobber going down a lot. The forecast is for clear and cold so bundling up will be the order of the day.

My Vista computer has been experiencing some strange behavior since a Microsoft update was applied a couple of days ago. Previously, when I click start and then shut down it would go into sleep mode, completely powered down with just the power led flashing. Now, when I click the power button the monitor shuts off for a second and then comes right back on. After several tries I can keep the monitor off but nothing else is powered down. I'm almost positive that it's related to that update, which is the only change that has been made to my computer since the problem started. There are several work arounds that I have available to me but applying an update should not be causing these types of problems. Ahhh... The wonderful world of computing.

Well by looking at my thermometer I see that the temperature is finally gotten above freezing so I guess I'll head to the store. You Gotta love the cold!
