Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: good Morning Adams
Riddle Sideways: ㋡

Adams Rubble: We have workmen in the basement working on our system
Riddle Sideways: is it still hot there?
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: ok
Adams Rubble: It sounds like a termite party
Riddle Sideways: fun
Adams Rubble: lots of banging
Adams Rubble: afraid to go downstairs
Riddle Sideways: exciting times

Adams Rubble: my RLers stress test has been rescheduled for tomorrow
Adams Rubble: more fun times
Riddle Sideways: sounds like this might be a stress test
Riddle Sideways: daily life IS a stress test
Adams Rubble: as soon as the the test was scheduled, RLer could feel stress arising in body
Adams Rubble: but only two day wait this time
Riddle Sideways: "this is only a Test. Had this been the real life, you would have been given instructions"
Adams Rubble holds up paper of iunstructions
Riddle Sideways: ah good, you got them

Riddle Sideways: there was one small word missing in your blog. Is your AC on or off? ㋡
Adams Rubble: AC is off so it does not electrocute the workers
Adams Rubble: AC has been off for a week but they advised to keep fan running low to circulate the hot air
Riddle Sideways: good to circulate the Hot air in a heat wave
Adams Rubble: fortunately the last few days have not been as hot although very humid
Riddle Sideways: good

Riddle Sideways: we have house guests staying in all the bedrooms(that are now offices) sleeping now.
Adams Rubble: good you do not have the partying termites in basement
Riddle Sideways: so am on laptop and is funny how unusual this is
Adams Rubble: wow, I haven't seen typos. I am a mess on the laptop
Riddle Sideways: the coffee cup is on the Left side.
Riddle Sideways: funny how that is uncomfortable
Adams Rubble: I understand. I would not like my drink on the right side

Adams Rubble: I guess since you mentioned the AC that you saw my blog today
Riddle Sideways: yes, but not completely read
Adams Rubble: trying to notice where the Space was in the remembered events lead right into my mind
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: In other words most of the action took place there
Adams Rubble: it happened partly because I did not leave enough time
Adams Rubble: time and space
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, hard exercise
Adams Rubble: hard in one way
Adams Rubble: easy in another
Adams Rubble: just being aware that things happen in time and in space
Adams Rubble: not so hard to recognze that many of the things are jut arising in the mind
Adams Rubble: I thought of the Abhidharma last night
Adams Rubble: did not mention that in the blog

Adams Rubble: there are six ways things get input in the mind
Adams Rubble: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching and the mind itself
Riddle Sideways: that sixth sense ㋡
Adams Rubble: there was some hearing and seeing (emails) in the events but most came from the mind
Adams Rubble: from the mind into the mind processor
Adams Rubble: the mind that inputs attached with a usb connection
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: the mind that puts off immediate processing to play scenes back later
Riddle Sideways: and alters how they are presented
Adams Rubble: I can see that happening but I think there are more immediate inputs too
Adams Rubble: THE (dreaded) KLESHAS
Adams Rubble: may arise from previous experiences I think
Riddle Sideways: and the distorted dream theaters playing back movies
Adams Rubble: In I may case I made all these plans, why are others ruining it for me
Adams Rubble: (well you shouldn't have made so many plans)
Adams Rubble: it needed more space and more time
Riddle Sideways: the best laid plans of mice and men
Adams Rubble: WHO is impatient?
Adams Rubble: yikes
Riddle Sideways: then the Others come into play
Riddle Sideways: sorry
--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: am dealing with different Planning issues lately. seem to be doing the time maths incorrectly and showing up an hour early or an hour late.
Adams Rubble: awww. so sorry
Adams Rubble: too many time zones
Riddle Sideways: would like to blame that, but no. just bad maths
Adams Rubble: SL time is your time
Riddle Sideways: yes, that is good
Riddle Sideways: often it has been good to have somebody that re-checks.
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: get those blank looks of 'what are you doing going out the door an hour early?'
Adams Rubble: as one gets older there are some things the mind feels are no longer worth remembering
Adams Rubble: like the numbers on the jerseys of your favorite spotrts team
Riddle Sideways: want to say that this memory has been leaky forever
Riddle Sideways: but it has gotten worse
Adams Rubble: someone told me yesterday that we are very hard on ourselves
Riddle Sideways: wha???
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: then there are the daily meetings. in which I find that this I has placed priorities in the wrong order
Riddle Sideways: might be closer to your planning issues
Adams Rubble: I need to plan less
Riddle Sideways: yep

Adams Rubble: soread things out. There is no need to rush
Riddle Sideways: sorted?
Adams Rubble: apread :)
Adams Rubble: spread
Riddle Sideways: ah
Adams Rubble: /me sings "a spoonful of patience helps the schedule go down, the schedule go down
Adams Rubble: run smooth
Riddle Sideways: just a spoonful

Adams Rubble: big box just wheeled up driveway
Riddle Sideways: The Delivery
Adams Rubble: some big part. The workmen look tired
Riddle Sideways: termites and big box
--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: spread things out, so you can watch the big boxes move around
Riddle Sideways: watch the fun
Adams Rubble: lots of banging and dragging things in the cellar
Riddle Sideways: plus, in the heat you don't want to move so fast
Adams Rubble: I wonder if there are more workmen here now
Riddle Sideways: oh dear. one of the guests is doing Jumping Jacks. too much exercising
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: ohh the box contained a whole new external unit
Riddle Sideways: yes, hope the big box came with more workers
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: maybe not
Riddle Sideways: old unit needs to be completely replaced
Adams Rubble: Well I am paying enough :)
Adams Rubble: replacing both inside and outside

Adams Rubble: I didn't know i was so rich
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: wealthier then you thought
Adams Rubble: will be less wealthy when pay bill :)

Riddle Sideways: exercising person is waking the rest of house
Riddle Sideways: and making this old person tired, just watching
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: we can end at the hour
Adams Rubble: or sooner if need be

Riddle Sideways: wondering what music or inspiration is coming into those earbuds
Riddle Sideways: so much RL activities
Adams Rubble: the work being done here is making me tired
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: getting tired just watching
Riddle Sideways: yes
Adams Rubble: just listening here
Riddle Sideways: termites and jumping jacks
--BELL--

Adams Rubble: starting to feel bad there will be so much waste because they are replacing rather than fixing
Riddle Sideways: yes, happens a lot now
Riddle Sideways: seems nobody repairs things much anymore
Adams Rubble is glad they are trying to fix my rl person rather than finding a replacement
Riddle Sideways: giggles

Riddle Sideways: young person thought the meadow looked like a great place to exercise
Riddle Sideways: then we talked about mountain lions
Riddle Sideways: and weeds that have stickers
Riddle Sideways: a re-think of plans
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: now running in place on the deck
Adams Rubble: do you have ticks?
Riddle Sideways: which wakes the neighbors
Riddle Sideways: probably some ticks, but more in the wooded areas
Adams Rubble: they thrive in our meadows
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, had not thought of that

Adams Rubble: ohhh very noisy sounds that are grating on the ears
Riddle Sideways: big expense things have to come with loud noises
Adams Rubble: grating sound like chalk on blackboard except it is metallic
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Adams Rubble: they are working on the ducts
Adams Rubble surrenders
Riddle Sideways: more Duct Tape ㋡

Riddle Sideways: strange to hope you will have hot weather, so that you can enjoy new AC
