Car free days 20 & 21

Saturday (day 20) passed without any car use. I walked out for a couple meals, and went downtown to Henry's 12th Street Tavern to celebrate the birthday of one of my friends. Sunday (day 21) was mostly spent inside, looking out at the weather, and also watching stuff on TV/computer. I did, however, drive down to the liquor store to buy some aquavit, which I need for sf0 tasking on Thanksgiving. I didn't know about this need until today, and the liquor store which I could realistically get to via transit didn't have any in stock, so I drove down, and stopped for food while I was out. Again, my weakness breaks a rule of the car free month, and I am disappointed in myself. Though, in general, I have been very good about keeping to most of the rules, and am quite happy that I made the decision to do this experiment.

Random stuff

Its been a while since I updated. Here are some developments on what's going on:

Beer - I've been in a sampling mood, so have been buying tall boys instead of six-packs. Mostly Rogue of different styles, but also a stout by Pelican, and an ale by Cascade Lakes. I still have one more tall boy (don't remember what kind), and a six pack of Pike's Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale yet to sample. I'll probably work on that later this week/weekend. Last week I joined the Rogue Nation at the brewpub down in Portland, and I feel I should be a good citizen and head down there again for beers relatively soon.

TV - I finished Doctor Who, all the way up to the end of Series 5. I started in on Torchwood, but I have a feeling that it will be a bit slower to get through it all. I missed some of my typical TV shows on DVR due to a problem with my cable. It turned out to be a faulty router, which was preventing my STB from getting its guide.

SF0 - I completed centroid exploration, but am very disappointed in the completion. It could have been so much better!

Geohashing - I fixed a lingering bug in the ape. I just didn't know it was lingering because its been a while since someone planned an expedition before coordinates were announced. I then proceeded to forget to turn the ape back on, so that it wasn't updating for a day or two.

Music - I have found myself going back to an old favorite, The Dandy Warhols, recently. Though this morning I did create a new Pandora station for Bloc Party.
