What is this??

So facebook has taken me over! Blogging is a rarity! I am sure you have already noticed that.

However summer is over, the girls are back in school, including Shannon.

So you can find me and connect on facebook.

Not sure how much I will blog.

Fun in Florida

Here are a few pics from Florida! I have been here a week so far. I have an ocean front room on the 8th floor. So I have a beautiful view. The hardware support manager had a get together at his house Friday evening. Sunday afternoon I went fishing down at Sebastian Inlet.

Views from the hotel.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to Everyone!
We had a great Christmas, and we hope you all had one as well!
We had a nice White Christmas. Lots of SNOW!
The girls have their sled trail from our house all the way down to my mom's house.
They ride down in the sleds and we tow them back up on the 4-Wheelers.

This Sled hill is by far the best!

Tag 4:4:4:4 Here is how it works.

1. Open your photos folder

3. Upload it

4. Tag 4 others

I tag the first four to look at this...I am a fun hater.

This didn't work with me.....I opened my 4th folder and then all that was in it was folders, so I opened the next 4th folder and I had one picture in it....hmmmm

Oh well here is that picture.

This is my attack bird Sunny. He beats everyone up but me.

Where did November go?

Man I missed a whole month! Hope you all had a great Turkey Day! So what happened in November????

I have seen some new places. I have now ventured to Cleveland, OH...well suburbs at least. It was pretty cool. I had a job at one of the Philips facilities, and we toured the facility. They make CT Scanners and MRI's there, plus a few other things. Those MRI's are CRAZY and EXPENSIVE. Then again allot of the equipment there is expensive. It is pretty interesting to see how they put everything together and how long it takes from start to finish. Plus they hold a lot of training at this facility for customers and employees.

I have now been to Austin, TX as well. I stayed in Downtown Austin at the Hilton Garden Inn. It was annoying because you have to park your car, and the only way to park it at the hotel is to have it parked by a valet. 25/night to park the car. There is no other option. Plus I would say I was in the "Ghetto" of Austin. According to the hotel staff it is best to not walk around at night in that area. Blah blah blah. Who goes walking in a strange area at night by yourself anyway? I had to rescue one my fellow cohorts. He hurt his back and was trying to drive to a job, and got to the point where he couldn't drive anymore, he couldn't even stand up. He was about an hour away, so I drove up and picked him up. Then another coworker from Houston drove up and we went back to get his rental car and return it. 5 hours worth of driving back and forth...wheeeee.

Afterwards I did a couple of jobs in Waco, TX and then stayed up in Arlington. I was able to go to Dennis and Wendy's and hung out with Ryan. Ryan and I went to Fort Worth and bar hopped all night. We all flew back to SLC about the same time, they were on American and I was on Delta.

We spent Turkey day at the in-laws. So we ate dinner with Mike and Susan, Lindsay, Rachael, Scott, Louis (Shannon's Uncle), Brady (Louis's son), and Kyson (Brady's Son). They ate late because Rachael didn't get there until ~4. They didn't have any yams or sweet potatoes. :(
Afterwards Scott's kids came over. So we got to see Dallan and Brooklyn. Then we went back to my parents and hung out with the rest of the family.

Sat after Tday dad, Todd, and I went to our Annual Turkey Shoot setup by Muskrat of the Willow Creek Free Trappers. He does this annually for the Homeless Vets. He takes all proceeds and donates it plus any clothes we can donate. This is a trap shoot using Black Powder Muzzleloader Shotguns. We have 6 stations to shoot from and 2 birds per station, 1 round before lunch, and one after. For lunch they had octo-pork sandwiches (Pulled Pork) and some Elk Chili. Dad took first place overall, so he won $40.00, and I took 2nd so I won $30.00.
Plus they have a raffle after as well. It worked out well. Dad paid the 25 to play and then 15 in raffle, so he won back what it cost him. I paid my 25 and 5 for the raffle, so I ended up even as well.

Posting...

is overrated.
Work work work, all day long, I work work work while I sing this song.

Ok 10 things I have done since I last posted.
1. End of Sept...I went Deer hunting...didn't shoot at anything. But a bad day hunting is better than a good day working.
2. First of Sept...Peach Days...yea....umm...it gets more boring every year. The parade is still fun tho.
3. Installed 3 labs in Boulder, Colorado....not fun, but I found a great Vietnamese food shop called Chez Thuy.
4. Went to Florida for 2 weeks straight, working at our division offices. Stayed on the beach. Never touched the sand. However we did go to Daytona's Biketober Fest. Good times there. Wish I had a bike.
5. I have been watching football! Geaux Saints!
6. I am at a loss here...can I just change it to 5 things?
7. Rumor has it I have a family, somewhere in Utah.
8. In a month's time I have been home 2 Full days, and 2 Half Days, and 2 Partial Days (get home at ~10 PM) So that makes about 3 Days and a few hours total.
9. Oh yea, I got some new Glasses...I don't have to wear my old ones from High School.
10. I have a new fav series on TV, called TrueBlood, on HBO. Vampires rule.

Ok there ya go.
Vote McCain!
