New Year's Eve / New Camera

As a holiday gift to ourselves, Shannon and I purchased a new point & shoot camera.  It will be helpful with our upcoming trip to Belgium, but also with the formula.  Not having to haul my DSLR around for every pict will be nice.  Tonight was the first image taken with the new camera at Mike G's shindig.

Streamlining

Today I was able to start packing up some socks that won't be needed because they will not work in the formula for the rest project.  There is a light at the end and I can see it.  I think?...

Retiring a Special T

Today was the last time that I wore my original lite grey heather Jaguar Climbing T. The shirt has been permanently retired from the formula. It was originally called to duty back in Autumn of 2005. I printed the graphic for my first year of coaching the Jag Climbing Team. It was semi-retired in Fall of 2008 because of excessive wear, but was repaired and brought back into service for the formula project. Check out the final presentation of the T at my website.

Day 200

200 days in...  While it seemed like the first 100 days took forever, the last 100 have gone by pretty smoothly.  Well over the halfway point and cruising towards the finish.

A Visit from the Lame Sauce

Damien came to visit us for the first time in Syracuse.  Poor kid drove 10 hours round trip to spend less than 36 hours with us.

Halfway Done / November Reward

So today I am officially over the halfway hump. It's all downhill from here with less than 6 months to go.

As an added bonus November is the first and only time during the project that the month starts on a Sunday. Being that the days of the week t-shirt point values count from 1 to 7 (Sunday through Saturday), my upperbody wardrobe for the next week will only need to consist of a single T-shirt. This is a treat and a reward for making it this far.

Awful stache = 0 points on anyone's list

Blogger Sucks

Just wanted to note that half the reason for my delinquency with blogging is that I spend three times the amount of time that is actually  needed, trying to get the formatting to not glitch on me. Seriously, is it that hard for a program to format simple text.  My apologies for all the formatting errors with the text size and blocking.  I officially give up on this crappy program.

In need of positive low point socks!!!

So I've been not wearing socks for much of September. It seems that while I have every possible color of stripe socks (negative points), I don't have as many pattern socks (positive points) as I thought. It would be especially handy to have some grey pattern socks (2 points), which when added to blue jeans (7 points) would give me the total needed to represent the ninth month. Fortunately my canvas belt (also 2 points) has been able to make up the difference. In theory I could wear plaid pants (10 points) and multi-colored stripe socks (-1 point) to make up the value, but that seems even more ridiculous than not wearing socks.

In an attempt to warm my feet I've made several unsuccessful shopping trips. It appears as though I will have to go to the internet to find adequate socks.
