I have recently been enjoying the 25th annaversary Back to the Future Blu-ray trilogy and it has made me think. What are my favorite film franchises. So here is my list.

1. Back to the Future

2. Harry Potter

3. Star Wars

4. Lord of the Rings

5. Ocean’s Trilogy

[and a sixth because I can… Austin Powers]

I know today was supposed to be like 110 degrees out in San Bernardino today, and maybe it got up to that. But I was running around all day in the heat going from classroom to classroom and I have to say that I don’t think it was to bad outside toady. Maybe it was because it was a dry heat. Whatever the case may be. If all 100+ degree days can be like today I would be fine with that.

Won $10 tonight which was enough to cover dinner. Thanks San Manuel!

Never had to fix a flat before. I try cheating my way out of having to fix it by pumping that fix a flat stuff into it but it didn’t work as I had hoped. The fix a flat stuff only lasted for one ride and then the air would slowly leak out and by the time I wanted to go for another ride I would have to pump it up again. The tire stuff I used was for car tires so that may have been the problem. Next time I try the stuff I will get the one made for bike tires.

I had purchased an inner tube from Target® but once I pulled the original tube off my bike I discovered that it wasn’t the right type. The tube size around is fine but the valve was not long enough. I ran over to a bike shop here in Rancho and they stocked the right tire for a buck less than I paid at Target®. Got home and was able to pretty easily put the tire back together and get it road ready. If you don’t know how to fix a flat, Schwinn has a pretty good how-to for you to follow. Now lets go hit the rode!

That is the only word that can describe this past weekend. Lots of time at home doing nothing but watching TV, playing some PS3 and browsing the web. Went on a bike ride tonight which was fun. Now going to undo all that exercise effort by eating a milk chocolate with caramel filling square.

Had a great night last night with everyone at San Manuel Casino. Started the night out eating seafood buffet and was able to let our waitress know that it was Jacob’s birthday with out him knowing. They brought out a special cake with a little candle on it and sang a little happy birthday song that included a line about hoping you win some money.

After dinner we headed out to the casino floor and Jacob got to try out his luck. He was up $35 at one time but you know how it goes when your gambling. I think he came home with an extra Andrew Jackson in his pocket. His dad was the real success story winning $300!

Later on Jacob and Cheryl made it over to our apartment to watch Hot Tub Time Machine (I liked it) and have some drinks. I discovered some new favorites that were pretty good. Try making yourself a Blue Ice cocktail (equal parts Hpnotiq, Malibu Coconut Rum, and Triple Sec). Jacob has yet to find something that really wets his whistle, but that will come in time and experimentation. The night ended with everyone passed out except me. I awoke to find Jacob asleep on the couch and Cheryl gone. She was like a little ninja gone with out a trace. 

I just want to thank everyone who made it out last night to help celebrate Jacob’s 21st! You guys made it a blast. 

Second day finished at the new school and all I can say is what a mess. There is stuff all over this new school site. Different computer parts in different places. The old tech didn’t really keep everything in one place and therefore there isn’t any organization to speak of.

So the plan is to first get everything in one place. One thing nice about this new site is that I got my own office now, so everything is going to go into there. Once all that stuff is in a central location and I know what I actually have I will feel much more at home. Wish me luck!
