We had one of those weekends where almost nothing was scheduled. This is pretty rare for us. We spent Friday night working on my lap-top trying to restore it to some of its former glory. We had the hard drive that was in it and one Dell sent us to replace the one in it. We put the one inside the machine into a hard drive enclosure (like the one pictured left) and effectively turned it into an external hard drive (a very small/cute one at that). Then we put in the new hard drive and pulled over necessary files from the old one. All of this is part and parcel of a 101 goal, but unfortunately, it's not done yet. I still have to format the hard drive on it, but I'm reluctant to do it so far, because I don't want to lose some data I forgot to take off.
Saturday we took a ride from hell around Green Mountain. I stupidly did not eat before we left and when it was time to climb the big hill, I crashed bad … not physically … but I had 0 blood sugar left and I got all dizzy. So not a terribly successful ride, but I did go farther otherwise than I ever had before, so that was good. And we spent the rest of the day chilling out and watching errands.So Sunday was Father's day. We did an adventure sort of day over a big gifty sort of thing. We took my dad to Le Central, a nice little Bistro in Denver. It's got excellent brunch. Then we took him to the Lewis and Clark exhibit at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature which was very enjoyable and very very in-depth. He also got some goofy gifts including a camoflauge t'shirt that says “Ha! Now you can't see me” on it.
What a neat weekend!
