My Dell Precision M4400 was locked up this morning.  It wasn’t connected to the network or my Verizon XV6800.  Next theory?

I’m beginning to think the lock up issue with my Dell Precision M4400 may actually have something to do with my Verizon XV6800.

Woodway Treadmill:  51 minutes, 3.0 miles, 3.5 mph, HR=125.  Stamina L3 was too fast and too flat.  My Dell Precision M4400 keeps locking up.  The only resolution is to force a restart by holding the power button.  I believe it’s a conflict between the Symantec Corporate Client that Rent-A-Geek installed on Thursday and Windows Defender.  It worked fine at home all weekend when I was not attached to the network.

Early Mass.  Rebecca Hahn took our Christmas Card photos.

Marsh Nostalgic 5k:  59 minutes, 3.91 miles, 3.9 mph, HR=157.  Since I’m preoccupied washing rugs and otherwise (do NOT ask) cleaning up after this @)(&%(@*#&$*(!@_#)*(@&#% dog, read Suzi’s report.

Hanna and I went to bed early last night.  Steve allowed Winnie full roam of the house, rather than confine her to the bedroom.  I have no idea where she slept, or if she slept.  All I know is I did! 

Winnie was up all night.  At two something I vowed if she was still bothering me at three I would put her in her crate, in my car, in the garage.  It didn’t come to that.  I noticed 21 missed calls while I was getting my hair cut.  Someone opened the front door, set off the alarm and closed the door four minutes later.  The Policeman was waiting on my front door step, they don’t enter a home if there’s a dog inside unless something looks amiss.  Turns out the SaltGuy opened the door we forgot to lock when my Mom left last night.  He was going to do me a favor and put the salt down by the water softener rather than leave it on the doorstep.

I voted!  It took all of ten minutes.  Yay!  My Mom & Dad’s dog is staying with us while she goes on a cruise.  It’s a little dog.  I’m not fond of little dogs.  Enough said. 

TechnoGym Wave:  54 minutes, 8 miles, 8.8 mph, HR=138.  The BigGuys at the John Deere store insisted the 48” Aerator would NOT fit into the back of my car.  Right up until they had the darn thing in there.  WTF?!?!  To their credit, they did humor me in the trying.  Thanks to Suzi, I have just committed to two 5k races this month. 

LuceLine West Out&Back:  84 minutes, 4.72 miles, 3.4 mph, HR=101.
