I placed the below ad late Sunday afternoon to get rid of the old, large, back-projection TV we had received from our neighbors down the street when they moved out 3-4 years ago. Within 30 minutes I had responses from 3 different people. I responded to all of them just after 5 p.m., and set … Continue reading Dynamics of placing a Craiglist Free Item Ad
Fitness Update: Swimming and tracking thereof
Okay, this week I finally got back to the pool. I swam Monday-Wednesday-Friday and ran Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday. My FitBit Flex 2 did not track the swimming.

Fitness Update: Bicycle and sans Bicycle
This week I intended to swim, but when I went down to my bicycle on Tuesday morning, intending to swim, the tire was flat. No problem, just pull out the pump and see if it holds air. Except when I attached the pump the nozzle attachment came off. So no way to fix the tire. … Continue reading Fitness Update: Bicycle and sans Bicycle
