Had a great time with the two Weber (Japanese special exhibit) tours. Grace Googin was there for the first one and I had about 15 on the other tour. Folks seemed to be into it and thanked me a lot after we were done. This is the first tour in a long time where knowledge accumulated over time has begun to break through in the tours. I know, for example, the linkage between Chan Buddhism from China and Zen in Japan. Not like an expert of course, but certainly at a level that helps folks on the tours gain a deeper appreciation for both.
After the tour I drove over to Interior Gardens where I picked up an everything-o-meter that will make the hydroponic part of the work so easy it will almost grow by itself. Well, not quite. It measures electrical conductance, ph and temperature, all three important data points for the reservoir of nutrient solution. Also picked up 100 more pellets for starting seedlings and three bottoms for the other flats. We’re in day three of the sprouting process. Sometime in the next week we should see some shoots. Fun.
The woman at Interior Gardens I remembered because she had injured her leg in a running accident. That was about ten months ago. During surgery the orthopedist discovered that her cartilage had pulled a divot of bone out of the knee. This made it difficult of reconnect everything and she’s still not fixed. She’s a runner, too. “Oh, well. If they can’t fix it, I’ll get into biking!” She has a cryogenic device she puts on it at night that takes the pain right away.
On the way home I was, unfortunately, really hungry–back to back tours with no food in the middle–so I (you might want to cover your eyes for this part.) stopped at McDonald’s and got a McFish, which, also unfortunately, I like. By the time I got home I was sleepy, no nap, and feeling guilty. Guilt won and I just finished 40 minutes of aerobic workout on the treadmill.
