cycling

as everyone already knows, i used to be an avid cyclist. the years have caught up to me since i quit ridding, but i have been getting a little cycling fever lately. an old riding buddy and co-worker of mine has my very first "real" italian bike frame. it has a little age on it, but i used to ride that frame when i was very good. he is going to give it to me along with some parts. hopefully i will be able to get it back in running condition and start riding again.

anyway, here is a link to some cool bikes. cool bikes

boo!

scared ya didn't i!?!?!

we have a new member of our culdesac. he is a rather large yellow lab that has decided to wander into our quite little neighborly area and create a little tention/excitement. he is definitely a stray as he is emaciated. it looks as if he has been shot with a pellet rifle. our dogs are very curious and are not sure how to react. be friendly or be aggressive. thankfully they tend to lean towards the friendly side, and so is the new lab. our next door neighbors, neighbor has decided to keep the big guy and (hopefully) get him his shots and neuter him. if they do, then he will be a good guy to have in our little circle world. :-)

summer is almost over and i don't remember it starting. time goes by way too fast when you get older. i attribute it to always having something to do. unlike when we were kids. time seemed to go on forever.

school start in two weeks. the kids have been staying up til midnight or later every night, so they are going to have to start going to bed at 9:00 from now on to get back into the groove of things. they are hating it.

staying up late is something that i never really found to be "all that". why is it such a draw to them to stay up late? all it does is make you lose more of your day the next day. i would much rather go to bed earlier and have more daylight to work and play in. just my opinion. of course this whole website is just my opinion!

um..hello? anyone there?

sorry guys, work has been a little hectic lately and i have not had time to post much of anything. to be honest, there really has not been too much to talk about!

my step daughters birthday is this weekend. she will be 14 going on 25. already begging to drive the cars. that would be a big no way!

after a little over a year, i have finally gotten the two dump truck loads of sand moved from out in front of the house to various areas of the would be yard. i know, i should have done it in a weekend. I just tend to be slightly slow in that arena. next up would be the deck on the back of the house.

big foot

i have always enjoyed things supernatural. there's just something about it that makes me want to believe. big foot is something of a phenomena and i consider it in the realm of the supernatural. the below site is dedicated to finding the bigfoot or yetti or sasquatch.

hiking in the mountains

hopefully if the weather holds and the planets align (which they truly are right now)we will go hiking this friday. it's been awhile since we have gone. last time was a trip to table rock. a must for anyone who can exert the energy to see a wondrous view from the top of a granite mountain.

this weekend we will go a different route. same area, but different trail. we will not see the wonderful view from the top of the mountain, but will see a beautiful stream for most of the hike and huge trees that must be over 100 years old, some small caves and maybe a few wild creatures.

4th of july

is quickly approaching. two things happen this weekend. first and foremost is my wife's birthday! happy birthday sweetie! i love you very much!

second if the celebration of our nations independence. this deems pretty important in our times today. it was the beginning of what we call freedom. freedom is special to us, as it's the foundation of our society. with our soldiers fighting over seas to help protect our way of life, we should truly be thankful for what we have and what they are doing to help preserve it.

this guy needs to be slapped!

rant again?

i know i have covered some of this before, but today just seems like a day to express.

music....music should be an journey. traveling along the musical plane. carrying you into a world of sensory overload. drifting along the waves of beats and rhythms.

lotus notes....i am not sure if anyone reading this even knows what lotus notes is, but i have to express a little. this week has been notes week. corporate is changed from a server based lotus domino environment to a mainframe domino environment. this has caused us to have to migrate the server on people's notes client. it should be as simple as changed a server name, but NOT! it's been hell week for sure. along with the server migrations we also have a client upgrade. this is the upgrade from the 5.x client to the 6.5.2 client. again, you would think that all you need to do is upgrade the software and be done with it. NOT!

i guess i shouldn't complain. i have a job and i definitely have work to do!

work'n it
