Working out daily no matter how late/early it is

I just want to build up my body again. At least back to how I was in college. I started my workout campaign since Sunday. It's been great. I even get up early at 3:30AM to exercise. That's how much I want to work out. In the past few days, I went to bed really early. From 6PM ~ 10PM depended upon my tiredness at work. Oh yea, why would I rest so early if I'm not tired. I would be playing some Celtic mandolin!

I ordered a mandolin guide book by Simon Mayor which is my favorite mandolinist. I wish to improve some techniques that I'm not that good at yet. Such as tremolo, it's really one of the greatest sounds that can be played on a mando. I know practice does make perfect. A month before, I couldn't play two notes on a single beat and triplets. Now, I can do that. That's some improvement. I'll bring it to another level!!! Oh yea.. also I ordered some Michigan made orange oil for cleaning fretboard. I need that since I delayed my string replacement. My mando fretboard is dirty as hell. That's how much I played after I get it in February.

I enjoy using my MacBook so much that I actually want to sell my gateway desktop. I love Mac's built-in PDF creator/reader. It does not go thru any 3rd party software like you see all the time in Windows. This speeds up the process dramatically. No kidding! This is awesome! What about the built-in screen capturing, oh wait Mac can resize/select section that you want to capture on your screen. There's shortcut for that too (Command + Shift + 3 or 4). Perfecto!!!

What time is it?? It's 5 AM! Bye!
