A few steps forward, a few steps back?

Yes, it must happen. Just as things were smoothing out, my debit card from my old bank was canceled. At first I was not even sure what to do. Then I realized I could simply write a check for most of that account into my account here and begin using this account. I cannot close that account yet, as my checks still go there. For the moment, it will be a temporary hassle though. If, as it turns out, a real if minor one.

I have been doing a lot of looking. I installed Google Earth, and have been locating where the shooting ranges are, where some interesting driving has been, some places I would like to go, and some places I will need to go. It is quite an amazing tool. I have 6 yellow "pins" so far, indicating those places above. Though, and to be honest, Utah is not a difficult state to navigate. Most of it is central, most of the northern areas have only one or two access points generally speaking, and "the big cities" are rather close. Logan to Ogden and then to Salt lake City is a rather short drive. There are a few places which take a bit to drive to, but not like Iowa, Illinois, and other flat states. Though the drives might be a bit more indirect due to mountains, they are more sure. I cannot wait to show these things to my neighbor. I think, honestly, he will be amazed.

I have accomplished a fair number of things today for being a nearly nothing day. From shopping, to information gathering, to planning, and a few tinkerings that do not involve the computer at all. I suggested that I would be buying a spotting scope to target my .22 rifle. My neighbor had one he has not ever used so he offered it to me! Well, okay. I do not know how well it works yet but for free, how could I turn down the opportunity. His eyes, he says are going. I tinkered with it tonight, as did he. We could not get it aimed on Jupiter (he says, if I remember right), but it was a fun first go. I think I will need day time practice with both the scope and the tripod. Both can be a little fussy and have particular needs and requirements. It should work just fine though.

I was supposed to get some business done today, but with a credit card cutting out on me and my bank card coming up broken too, there was little chance of that. As frustrating as that is, I will get it all done as soon as possible. Bit by bit, one thing at a time, dancing in and out, weaving toward my destination. Whether I must go as slowly as a turtle or whether I am able to hop along like a rabbit, I will get it done. Hehe, or not. At the end of the final day, no one will ever be able to say, in finality, that I just quit. If too they might wonder why not. That is my secret, and probably yours now too. I simply cannot quit, I do not know how. Heck, I cannot even die! Well, or so far.

Hmm, I must have something to eat around here. Good night. Or, I could just go to bed. Yeah, bed. I am trying to go to sleep a little earlier. If I do that for a week, then back it off another hour, I might get my days straight. Who knows, but I will try and find out. Yep, good night.
