My back is hurting again, but at least I don’t know it. It’s been hurting for a good half-week now, and I finally broke down and took some ibuprofen this morning. It was sore over the past few days to the point where it was affecting my posture, which I think was probably exacerbating the situation; I’m hopeful the restoration of my posture helped by the lack of pain at the moment will help eliminate the pain long-term. We’ll see.
Good, albeit tiring weekend. I put the rest of the beadboard up the in the kitchen, took the kids to church Sunday morning (Diane wasn’t feeling well) and had a reasonably productive Sunday afternoon and evening. The job I’m doing for my father-in-law requires the use of a tool which happens to be portable, so I brought it home and clamped it to my (awesome) work table in the garage. I’ll be able to put in a lot more hours this week, and get the job done more quickly, which is a big win-win for both Mr Eppley and myself. I’ll be down there tonight, listening to my homeboy on the radio starting at 9 p.m. whilst I crank away. Should be fun.
I’ve had a real hankering lately to play the old games in the Gran Turismo series. I was a huge GT1 and 2 junkie and played most of GT3 before GT4 came out. But when I saw the size and depth of GT4, I decided I didn’t want to spend a month holed up in my house completing the game, which I certainly could have done, so I kind of fell off the horse. This was during flight training in ’05-’06, so I certainly had enough to worry about at that point without getting engrossed in a video game. And I’m still not sure I’m ready for something that immersive, but…I would like to revisit the earlier games. GT1 and 2 at the very least. I remember blasting up Trial Mountain in GT1 with an Impreza WRX…good times.
