My Co-Worker Barry on UFO Hunters!

Last night we watched my Co-Worker Barry Fisher on an episode of UFO Hunters! It was about the first UFO sighting before the 1947 Rosewell New Mexico incident. There were 6 UFO’s sighted around the Puget Sound area where a boater claims to have seen 6 UFO’s flying above their boat. One was having [...]

Lions and Tigers and Dentists oh My!

Ok, well maybe not lions and tigers, but at this point I’m more scared of Dentists. We’ve had three dentist appointments this week in our family and that was just by Tuesday.
I’m 1 crown away from having NOTHING wrong with my teeth though! So excited! (Although the weirdest thing happened while I was getting a [...]

Halo 2

Got the XBox swapped out at Game Crazy and this one worked fine, including the network interface. So we played some 5 player (We didn’t have enough bodies for 8 player… or joysticks..) Slayer matches, capture the flag and a fun game called Monster Trucks. This is basically crash up derby with the armored Warthog [...]

The Office

Ok, I’ve never seen the show, but I know all about offices, and desks and computers.
This weekend it was time to get a new office desk for Tracie since her corner desk ate an entire 1/4 of our home office.
It was also time for a long overdue computer overhaul for Tracie’s computer (And a new [...]

Tiny Dancer

Ok, well she’s as tall as the high school cheerleaders there, but I liked the title
Melissa went through Cheer Camp again this year with her sister Kayla and she was able to perform with the state champion Cheer leading team at a Skyview High school basketball game during halftime! (She practiced a LOT [...]

3 day weekend update

Although it was a 3 day weekend, it was broken in the middle by a scheduled monthly downtime at work so from 11pm Saturday night until about 3:30am Sunday morning I was at work patching and rebooting servers. (Being just under 5 hours means it was a smashing success..)
Kevin performed his final evening of “Once [...]

Big Weekend!

So Friday night we joined Grandma Carolyn, Sam and Fiona at Kevin’s school for his play “Once Upon a Mattress”. The drama team has been working on this play almost since school started this year and it shows. It was a two and a half hour production filled with dance choreography, volumes of acting lines [...]

So I was all up in her grill…

Because that was the only way I could remove the old crunched hood from Kaylas Ford, the grill had to come off because her hood was munched in and it wouldn’t unlatch gracefully. We had stopped by LKQ Wrecking yard and removed the hood from a 1987 Ford Taurus station wagon and it was a [...]

…And today I’m the Fool

I don’t know why it happens to me. I try to be aware of my surroundings, I really do. I don’t know what makes me walk up to a store clerk standing in front of a 40 foot long light bulb display and ask “Where do you guys keep your light bulbs?”
Possibly the same thing [...]

Where’d the weekend go?

Well, I got to play dump trucks on Saturday (Need to get the truck looked at though, it keeps trying to die when I hit the gas…grrr), and we watched some movies, played some games and went grocery shopping. Oh, and I spent 4 or 5 hours troubleshooting some print server issues from home. I [...]
