Work load

Hurray for the NJEA convention in AC! I’m not there, but it gives me an opportunity to do something I’ve needed to do for a while. This afternoon I tore apart the rear end of my Harley. The rear fender is rusting badly and the strut covers are almost entirely eaten through.

I’ve got the fender pulled up, rough sanded and primed. I’m hoping that tomorrow I can shoot it with black. I looked into rescuing the strut covers, but those are eaten all to hell. Ordered a set off ebay and I’m hoping they get here this week so I can full reassemble to bike for my Sunday ride.

We’ll see.

Road trip!

Kim and I are on our way to Nashville to see the Devils play the Predators. 15 hours each way for a hockey game? Sure, why not.

I made a new personal record by driving through 5 states before the sun came up. And now we’re eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel in VA, talking hockey with strangers. This is going to be a great trip!

I own it!

Paid off my Harley today, more than 14 months ahead of schedule. Feels good!

Being sick sucks

I slept 24 straight hours yesterday and today. I feel no better. Being sick sucks.

Busy day

At 2:30pm I sat down on my office couch and realized I was sitting on yesterday’s and today’s breakfasts, still untouched in the bag. Apparently I’ve lived the last 2 days on coffee alone.

Also, today I fixed 127 different issues/problems at work. I’m on fire!

Are these two items related? Maybe. Let’s see what happens to my productivity today when I lay down for a nap!

A little relief

4 days until school starts and I have 9 days of work to get done. The only relief is that one of the major summer projects has just gone live! There are still some details to be ironed out, but it’s 99% finished and the product has been delivered. Everything else can be fixed dwn the road with patches.

I think the next 48 hours must include my gf, a case of beer and some fun in the sun!

Earthquake!

My floor of my building was rocking, hard enough to give me a literal headache. (The wall was smacking me in the head.) Apparently the effect was entirely dependent on the exact square foot of floor you were standing on at the time.

Either way, the entire scenario took 30 seconds and sent me home from work while the building was surveyed by the engineers.

Such is life =)

Decisions

About 10 years ago I had a decision point put in front of me. The details are not important, but the upshot was life of good vs. evil. I know more than a few people that would have (and did) chosen evil, but I chose not to be there.

Do I regret the deision? Sometimes. Do I mourn the life I might have had? Not really.

Sweet

Apparently this is my lucky weekend. Last night I won some pretty good money at poker, and just now I hit 5 consecutive scratch offs for enough to cover dinner out tonight.

Must be nature’s way of telling me it’s time to play PowerBall

Ugh! and Ooooooo!

Spent most of the day banging my head against my desk, trying to streamline the new website. Apparently my boss doesn’t feel it’s intuitive enough.

I did learn how to make some pretty slideshow/carousel effects though… Links coming when I have them available publicly.
