Monday

All good things must come to an end, but this is an exciting day to end the weekend on. Now we have to take our collective noses and stick them back onto that grindstone known as life and get back to doing what it is that we do for a living to make this a better rock to live on.

I had to correct Kiwi and Peanut's sign for them, they still had the Big Ole Hairy Friday sign up, not on a Monday. That is nothing short of wishful thinking..lol

Hopefully everything can get back to normal today, I only worked 4 hours on Friday (and 4 9's) to take half a day off and manage to get the grass cut for the first time this year, which I did. But that was Friday and this is Monday. I've got the home GIS crew ready to start working, they are getting really good at this stuff. Peanut does good, Kiwi though is just a one bill pecker on the keyboard. 

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Michelle made a small ham and Kiwi made the deviled eggs (they were white rabbit eggs, not the chocolate kind) and Peanut finally figured out how to peel potatoes without making French Fries. Two multi-talented pets right there I got to tell you. 

Looking at the week ahead, I found some open source data that is pretty robust for our purposes that is also pretty cheap. I ran it up the chain of command on aquiring this dataset which is mostly what the client is looking for. 

Have yourselves a great day

Happy Easter

Here I sit in a semi-quiet household, Kiwi and Peanut are up having an absolute blast. They spotted the Easter Bunny running around hiding eggs and they wanted to go and find them all. Kiwi wonders why Rabbit eggs are hard boiled and decorated. It didn't take long to occupy him and change his train of thought. 

Happy Easter Everyone. I hope today is a time for friendship, fellowship and family. A day where hams are cooked, deviled eggs are eaten and most importantly memories are created. From my family to your family we would like to wish you a Very Happy Easter. 

So what was the big surprise I wouldn't talk about in yesterdays blog? Friday was my brother in law Jim's 70th Birthday and we had a surprise Birthday Party for him at his favorite restaurant the Grand China Buffet in the old Washington Mall. I didn't want to risk him reading my blog and messing up the surprise party. 

Have yoursleves a great day and go make some special memories. 

Saturday Morning Ramblings

Here I sit once again in a quiet household, Kiwi and Peanut are up and at em and they are starting our Easter Dinner for tomorrow. Kiwi has made the deviled eggs (he thinks they are Rabbit eggs instead of bird eggs, you know the whole species thing with him) and Peanut is peeling potatoes.She tried to do a couple with the claws in her paws, but we had to re-emphasize that these are for Mashed Potatoes instead of French fries. They are both so helpful, just please no one tell kiwi rabbits don't lay eggs, they just deliver them on Easter. 

Our plans for the day? Can't really say anything yet, just in case one specific potential reader may have to stumble across this and figure it out. I'm not going to take any chances in tipping them off. 

Other than that Michelle was off yesterday and I just worked half a day (worked longer days all week to get a few hours off with Michelle), so we did manage to get a lot of our running around done yesterday. It makes it nice, especially with this being a Holiday weekend. 

Have yourselves a great day and enjoy yourselves. 

Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.

It is also Good Friday and Michelle is off with a holiday, maybe that is why the animals are celebrating, Mommy's home but Daddy's working. I see how they are. 

Another week that has come and gone, it's time to take a step back and relax and celebrate. Kiwi and Peanut have decided they are ready to party, of course I think you all already knew that about them.

I'm getting a little antsy for the NFL draft, which doesn't begin until this coming Thursday night with the First round. I need my NFL Football fix, who the Steelers are drafting and are any Mountaineers are getting selected are my biggest questions leading into the draft. It's really the last of the Football news until Training Camp begins, so I need to get my fix in...lol

Have yourselves a great day.

Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.

This weeks pic is of my lovely wife Michelle. We had taken a trip down to Nick and Terri's for an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Nick grilled out as Nick likes to grill out. I can't tell by my pictures, but something tells me we had chicken that day, you know the ones that laid the plastic candy filled eggs for the kids to find. 

Have yourselves a great day.
