Usual oatmeal breakfast. Removed the OWC/Newertech ministack from the rack to troubleshoot its noise problem. With the drive powered off and several blasts of compressed air up its rear air vents, it seems like it's back to its normal quiet self again. Began setting up Time Machine again. For a few days there I thought I would have to send it in for service and be completely without a backup. Stretches. Weight training: shrug, superslow one-arm dumbbell row, dumbbell fly. Stretches. House chores and home improvement. Prepared packages for shipment. Dinner at Loi's with Patrick: bbq cow and shrimp pho for me, bbq chicken and shrimp pho for him. $18 after tip. Began preparing my taxes. Some documents have not arrived yet, so I can't finish yet. I realized today that Goldstar had half price tickets for John Cameron Mitchell's show coming up, and I hadn't seen the Goldstar email before we bought tickets at regular price. Wah! Oh, well. Stretches. Warm-up cardio. Weight training: superslow tricep kickback, superslow concentration curl, superslow dumbbell press, crunch. Cool-down cardio. Late snack: lowfat yogurt, hot nonfat milk.
