I went into a sorta local town to sell off my aluminum cans. Went from there to the garden center. They had the nice plant water saucers I like on sale for half off. Wasn't on my budget, but I bought several of them. As the young man was helping me load them into my truck, I mentioned they were for tortoises. Come to find out, he is interested in getting one for his daughter. :) He's thinking sulcata and I tried to warn him of the problems with them. I also told him about this site, so perhaps he will join up.

That's very cool :) I have experiences like that when I go to Home Depot. :)

I will relay the message to my man about working safely. Yes we are still working on the bathroom, and hopefully we can finish the kitchen too

I'm back from visiting family in Oregon! It seemed sooo dry and smokey.

Today we had parts of the freeway closed due to heavy rain flooding! It was like driving to work in a monsoon...

I'm still just trying to begin wedding planning. Mainly trying to figure out budget and guest list buut even that has me stuck. Wherever we have the wedding a lot of family or friends will be left out so just having the wedding/small reception in Alaska I think and a large reception in Washington or Oregon.

Does anybody have awesome plans for their weekend?
Awesome is debatable to some, but (aside from a buttload of homework) I have an awareness walk tomorrow and then my first 10K race sunday... a race I am now by no means prepared for due to school taking my training time. but im still excited for both... and to sleep in tomorrow :)

The island of Kauai have wild chicken running wild all over the road.

I ask why, are they protected?

The answer is: Those chicken meat are very tough. so no one catching them and they have no nature predator.

I say: the island do not have enough Chinese people on it. Between my wife and my mother in-law.........gave them couple month, no more public nuisance.

What this app/device you use called? And whats wrong with the reading?
It's azumio instant heart rate app. And a normal resting heart rate is very rhythmic. It should be between 60-100 for a normal adult. Mine drops down into the 40's if I'm having preventricular contractions. I feel faint and tired when this happens. It I have too many of them (sustained bigeminy), my chest will hurt.
Any lower than 47 and I tend to lose consciousness. Just seconds before this my heart rate was 109 because I was standing, which is totally normal. It dropped to 48 and climbed to 49 during the reading. This is just a screen shot of a scrollable reading.
