BMW F800S

It is my primary means of transportation and the perfect accessory for my life here in Southern California. ...However, I had been having some trouble starting the bike recently and eventually had to bring the bike into my local dealer to get the starter replaced. ... While my bike was having work done on it, the dealer loaned me one of their new bikes, a 2007 F800ST. ...Where normally I have to shift out of first gear if I want to even have a chance at speeding up, with the 800 I was able to ride in first for what seemed forever before the bike whined for me to upshift. ... At least on the 800 it is, because with the active stabilization and other enhancements of this bike highway speeds are smooth sailing.

The Hearing

rjraimo@gmail.com — 2008-03-25T22:37:31-07:00

We had the hearing tonight and now it's over. It certainly wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever been a part of; and the direct and cross-examination certainly wasn't the most thorough or put together piece of work I've ever seen; but it's done. ... To give you hint of what we were working with here is a link that tells you a little more about blood spatter. And for fun, enjoy the Chewwbacca defense which I probably could have used instead of my supposed "real" legal argument. ...

Blood Stain Pattern Analysis

Tomorrow we have our mock Motion in Limine hearing in which we argue our case as to whether our expert gets to testify as to blood spatter which was covering the inside of a trailer home in our mock case. ...On February 14, 2006 at 2:56am Fire Chief Sean Patrick, who was at the local fire station, was awakened to cries for help from John Doe, who had just pulled up in his vehicle and was traveling with the body of his girlfriend, Jane Doe. ...On the evening of February 13, 2006, John Doe and his girlfriend were talking on the couch in his living room. ...After killing her, John Doe grabbed her body, placed it in his vehicle, drove to the local fire station and pretended he and his girlfriend were victims of a crime. ...Further analysis determined the void was likely the result of a large object, such as a body, in between the wall and the couch and blocking the spray of blood.

What a day

The funny thing is that I received it as more of a last ditch effort to use some expiring air miles. ... As anyone with dogs will know, if you don't exercise them you are in for some trouble. ...We are able to go running on the trail and when we come back the boys go play at the park. It's a win-win situation because I get in some exercise, the dogs get to use some energy, and then they get to socialize. So we played at the park after the walk and then I went inline skating for an hour.

Prepping for ceiling fans

rjraimo@gmail.com — 2008-03-12T06:54:00-07:00

We've decided to put ceiling fans in the house to help save on energy costs during the summer. The idea is that with some open windows and fans to move the air around the house we'll be able to drop our electricity bill to below $100 during the hot months. The would certainly be nice as we were paying nearly twice that last summer. ... I've been able to find a good deal on a basic fan for about $58. ... You can see the boys are quite interested as I look at the ceiling mounting brackets.

San Diego Water Treatment Facility

Today I went with my Environmental Law class to see the San Diego Water Treatment facility at Point Lloma. The trip consisted of a tour of the facility and how the waste from the San Diego County is treated before it is released into the ocean. One item worthy of note, the facility was designed in such a way that with the use of gravity and useful energy generating ideas such as reusing methane gas to heat the plant and hydroelectricity from water flowing through the plant's pipes the treatment facility is not only self-sufficient energy wise but it in fact is a energy supplier to the city of San Diego. Obviously some engineer was using their head when they designed this plant. ...Goodbye to another day!
