You better start dreaming.
I started my mission almost 20 years ago. Today I got an e-mail from my first mission president that had a link to the newest mission presidents blog. So I have included that in my cool links. He’s already got a couple great pictures on his blog.
I should find one of my mission pictures to scan.
Another day spent hacking up WordPress. Slowly but surely I am getting deeper into the guts of word press. It really is able to do a bunch of cool stuff. And it is getting more and more like a web site management tool and less and less just a blog. It really does make it easier to setup and mange websites.
Just testing one of the new plugins I installed

I worked on several websites today and didn’t get out to do anyselling. It was good to sit down and do some design work. I swam 4700 meters today. I had to stop when I got a cramp in my calf.
I also found some more plugins for wordpress.
One thing that I learned today is that the whole process of manufaturing microchips on silicon wafers is done in a vacuum. Because everything is so small that free molecules interfere in the process. Charles Next door neighbor here in Austin, Spencer. Works in his family business selling the pumps that create the vacuum for this manufacturing. He also said that space has a better vacuum than we can create here on earth. When space travel become cheaper chips will be manufactured in space.
I spent a good part of the day out talking to small businesses about websites. I did get a couple of warm leads. I always meet a couple of really great people. I met a Lady Named Jane that was working in a Dance Teaching studio. She loved the place she worked and really was passionate about the place. She really did a good job of selling me on the benefits. It would be fun to do with Amanda.
I met a guy in a hair cutting place named Roosters, He was from Belaruse and lived in New York for 20 years and recently moved to Austin. He gave me some great advice about my Hair and what to use for my swimming damanged hair. He said to get a conditioner called Loreal Paris. he said to leave it on for a couple minutes and within a few days my hair would be alot better.
I was also able to do a little running and swimming. 2000 meters. I also ran a bit. But I am feeling my tendonitis coming back a bit and spent the last 20 minutes walking.
Liz and Charles are moving this weekend. Which means I will be moving all weekend. In some ways I am looking forward to it. Moving fully for 2 days is going to be hard. But it will be better than any other workout I could do.
I am excited to get out there and meet new people tomorrow.
Pulled Through.

I’ve always thought that was a funny quote and so I think Occasionally I with throw it into the mix.
