54 mpg

Monday: Woke to MB telling me the furnace was out again. So that's why it got so cold in the basement last night. Up, and called the plumber. Breakfast with Gus. Heated some water on the stove, which I then splashed over and around myself in the tub. Gus treatments. Down basement for practices, drums and some guitar. The plumber showed up, and it was a loose wire, which had probably caused the other malfunction. Drove the long way around to work.

Saw Adm on the ride up in the elevator, and touched base about travelling to Allen's memorial service. Not a terribly productive day. Looked at a feature enhancement, but decided it was not the right time to tackle it. Coffee. Re-rooted my glitch-reduction branch (which was more difficult than I thought it would be). Burrito. Spent some time reading about networking. Tried to reproduce a bug. This led me to re-install driver software, which required a couple of machine reboots. Finally realized that I just had some bad hardware. Was able to reproduce the bug once, but only in the ship build.

Wnd picked me up around 7:00. We had dinner at Tanjore (we both ordered too much). Took a nice long drive in her new Prius out along the Charles and through Lexington and Lincoln, finally finding our way onto Route 2. We averaged 54 mpg on our trip. She dropped me back in Harvard Square. Drove home across town.

Hello to MB. She was eating rice pudding and reading Rolling Stone. Some hanging out. Down basement and lots of email. Made plans for next installments from TG. Hello again to MB. Back down basement.

gmm is definitely cool, but it eats battery power like crazy as it constantly chatters over the 'net.
