Trails Challenge 2009 – Regional Parks Foundation – Day One
Posted on 18. Oct, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Well, I picked up the t-shirts for the “Trails Challenge 2009” probably around early May and as of Friday morning, October 16, I hadn’t done one trail. Not good. Even though we didn’t complete the challenge, last year we did this as a family and think we got in three trails, had a good time and saw some great scenery and wildlife.
The challenge is put on by the Regional Parks Foundation with the challenge being to […]

A New Running Site
Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Update – April 20, 2015: It would appear that this site is no longer operated.
While still in its infancy, maybe even a toddler, the InfiniteRunners (http://www.infiniterunners.com) site by Brian Hock is well thought out and designed. It is in Beta phase but I think he is off to a very good start and suggest you register and check it out. What I like most is […]

Got a Run In and Found a New Training Site
Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Today was a run day. I’ve actually gotten more than 20 miles in so far this week! The last time I got that much training in was the week of May 31. Not counting that week, or this week, I’ve only been averaging about 8 miles per week. That’s pitiful! […]

Out for a Hike with Sadie
Posted on 23. Sep, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
I haven’t been running as much as I really would like to and, as such, have found I’m a little bit out of shape. On the plus side, I’m pretty much injury free! Well, after a third day in a row of a five mile run in the hills around my neighborhood, the 1,000 foot climbs over the distance finally did me in. That last run yesterday totally wore my legs out and I was pretty much useless the rest of the day. I also hadn’t been taking Sadie on my runs since it has been hot and she is out-of-shape for this long a run. The last time […]

Garmin nüvi 765t Review
Posted on 09. Sep, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Wow, after thinking my iPhone was a great traveling companion for navigating the highways and biways of life and finding points-of-interest, I am quite happy that I decided to give a device engineered specifically for the task a go.
The Garmin nüvi 765t 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator is the product I went with after doing a lot of reading and sending a note out to my FB friends. I was originally leaning toward the Garmin nüvi 265WT but […]

Uninterruptable Power Supply for the Office
Posted on 04. Sep, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
This afternoon I shut down all the computers, network equipment and network storage devices so that I could put in a new Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). I’ve had two previous UPS’s, one that lasted several years that was built by APC and one that didn’t last very long that was built by Belkin. […]

Keeping Your Passwords Organized
Posted on 27. Aug, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
I’m just writing a quick Post today as I continue to marvel in a product that my brother, Jon, turned me onto; KeePass Password Safe by KeePass. This cool little utility is an Open Source Windows application that lets you store any number of passwords in a secure manner and also will generate strong passwords for you. […]

Height Adjustable Desk
Posted on 21. Aug, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
I finally got tired of the pelvic and lower back pain I’ve been having while sitting and I decided to take action. I think part of my problems are due to my running and several weekends with heavier than normal weight bearing activities. I enjoy running, so, I don’t want to reduce that activity. The busy work around the house and in Scouts also isn’t likely to go away, so, I had to find a way to make my work environment more conducive to a happier body. My quest has begun! […]

Hello everyone!
Well, I decided it was time to move my personal blog off of WordPress.com and host it myself. Fits in better with all the other sites I build / manage. I’ll try and be a “little” better about putting something up here once-in-awhile but no promises. […]

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is SO BAD, it’s good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Pun of the Day 8
Posted on 12. May, 2009 by Unknown Author.
A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to ‘persuade’ them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he’d be back if they didn’t close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. But why they asked, as they moved off. ‘Because,’ he said, ‘I can’t stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.’

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can’t have your kayak and heat it, too.
