From the Desk of John Rourke – February 11th, 2015

So it looks like Radio Shack is pretty much done as a business. It’s a shame. I remember going in there as a child and was fascinated with all the gadgets there. Memories…..

I want some time off. Hate to burn a few vacation days this early but man would like to take a few days and just sit around and do whatever I want. Maybe a trip to the mountain or out in the country and stay in a cabin. Yeah – that would be nice….

Those looking for a USB flash drive to hold pictures, video’s, and documents – Amazon has a 32gb model on sale for $12.98 with free shipping on orders over $35. Great deal on massive storage space. Amazon changes prices often so I have no idea how long it will be at this price.

My continuing pursuit of fitness has led me to a place I never thought I would go:  6,000 meters on the rowing machine.

When WOD’s(workout of the day) would have rowing I would run instead. Now I have grown to really enjoy rowing and it is great for cardio fitness. Would like to get one for the house. 6,000 meters….time to set a new record.

Just picked up a rain barrel – free. Co-worker was trying to get rid of it so I was gracious enough to take it off his hands.
