Not A Bad Day
I got a few of the things done that I wanted to get done today. I got the FASS thing registered, I’ve been having a block about getting that done. I got all my laundry done and I mean done done, put away and everything. I cleaned the carpet in the bedroom. I also fixed…

Triple Bypass & Other Happenings
So my friend David had surgery today and it was a triple bypass on the heart. They took a vein from his leg and chest to do the bypass. I thought they were just doing one. But he’s awake and alive after it all so that’s good. My friend Tim is going in for an…

Opening Day
While it’s not technically the first day of the season, the Cowboys played their first game of the season today against the Cleveland Browns and came away winners and actually looked fairly good doing it. We started the day with a 2.5 hour bike ride that took us 17ish miles or so. I’ve been sore…

Busy Day
For whatever reason, I was up at 4:18am this morning. I mean no big deal but still. I stayed up and then cleaned out the back of the truck and went to men’s breakfast at the church. It was good to see Adrian, Hanna and Mike as well as the rest of the guys. Since…

Azure Certification
I’m trying to decide on what to do with my career for the next 15 years or so and I’m liking the idea of becoming an Azure administrator. It would be sort of poetic that my career started with Windows 95 certification and ends with Azure. To that end I’ve completed the Describe Cloud Computing…

Rainy Day, Amazing
Today it rained all day. A beautiful light rain that made the air smell good and kept the temperature in the low 70’s. These are the days we were looking for and they are so rare down here. I need to find someplace it does this a couple of times a month, not once every…

Sticker Harvest
With our absence, the lawn has run it’s course under the summer heat and we’ve had a bumper crop of goathead stickers. It took me all day but I managed to pull the vast majority of them and then do an initial cut on the highest level which was bagged. I also edged and trimmed…

Trip Concluded & 10 Years
We made it back home today. It was good to be back. 5779.6 miles at 10.4 miles per gallon. That’s 555.73 gallons of diesel. We did knock out the remaining 10 states we needed to visit to complete the lower 48. We’ve also celebrated our 10 year anniversary so I guess you can say we’ve…
