Well, well, well. Weekly Wednesday Wrap-up actually on a Wednesday. Since last week didn't have so much of the wrap-up due to the hijacking of the post by the sock yarn blanket, this week I shall try to include more of the wrapping-up.
- I am still recuperating from the bike accident. It has been nearly three weeks and my left leg is still chock full of bruisings with a side order of recurrent swelling.
- Picked up my new bicycle to replace the one involved in the accident.
- Only had it out for a short test run last Friday afternoon so far.
- Ride went pretty well though it felt a bit off.
- Toe-clips vs ordinary pedals is like English vs continental: neither one is wrong but when you are used to working one way...
- I transferred the toe-clipped pedals from the old bike to the new bike Friday night.
- Haven't been back to tae kwon do since the accident. Hurts too much.
- Interestingly enough, the cycling didn't affect the injuries. Must be due to the lack of impact.
- When will Sansa come out with a 32GB Clip?
- Burned a pile of iso installation files to disc last week and I wanted to execute a test run before upgrading my operating system, so the dining room now more resembles a server room at a small- to medium-sized company than a place for the family to gather for dinner.
- Good thing there's a table in the kitchen.
- The test run went well so then I spent a bunch of time backing up my data.
- Why is it that when Windows says an hour is required for the files to transfer, it really takes two hours?
- Not that I was surprised...
- I saved a whole 10¢ at the grocery store with my club card today.
- It activated my giggle reflex.
- During our travels at the beginning of the month, I noticed a few things about our GPS unit.
- There are some useful categories in our GPS: gas stations, banks and ATMs, rest areas and restaurants.
- There are some categories which would be useful if they were in our GPS: churches, police stations, libraries, pharmacies.
- Then there are some categories which are included in our GPS but which we find entirely useless: casinos and convention centers, wineries, golf courses, marinas.
- Just our personal preferences.
- I'm sure there are lots of people in Kansas who need to know how to get to the nearest marina.
- Neatnik and I have read almost all of the Warrior Cat books.
- Next volume comes out in November.
- I guess that means that Neatnik is a real grown up type serial reader now: she has to wait for the next installment on a series just like the rest of us.
The hours are the arc across the top.
The staggered months walk up the center.
Stand on the current month and
and your shadow casts the time.
and your shadow casts the time.

10 yarns:
That clock is pretty cool!
Do you have the 8gb Clip with the microSD slot? I think it takes up to 16gb cards (it could take more - I haven't found that bit of info), so you could get it up to 24 gb...
Awesome clock! You amaze me with your riding (and workout dedication in general). WTG Neatnik!
Oooh, I love that clock. Stuff like that always fascinates me. It's like magic or sumthin'.
I still haven't mailed your yarn - I'm in the middle of sending 45 tubes of toothpaste to Texas.
Glad to hear you're healing. And that clock is very cool.
What a neat clock! I'd love to have that in my driveway.
Where did the wizards come in from? And what happened to the dragons? Important questions here.

That sun dial is the COOLEST THING EVAR!!!!!!!!! And of course the bee guy has a web site, how could I possible be surprised???

Yup. That's a cool clock! I'd be the one hogging all the sun and not letting anyone else play so it's probably for the best that I missed it...
I think you should add Harry Dresden's addendum to Tolkien's quote about Wizards (edited for family television, of course...)

What a cool clock!
