Double Standard In Washington 03.30.09

I’ve been thinking all along that Washington is going about the “bailouts” of the banking industries and the auto industries completely unfair.  Whether you are for or against the bailouts of either sector, I think that should be one thing you can agree with.  Banks have received money numerous times, CEOs still intact, wasting millions [...]

All-Nighter And Much Needed Sleep 03.26.09

I’ve said a few times before that I “feel like I haven’t slept at all,” but after doing my first all-nighter and operating for about 36 hours, most of which was working, with absolutely no sleep at all, I know exactly what that expression is supposed to feel like.
Tuesday I worked my regular 8:30-5:00, and [...]

Learning QuickBooks 03.23.09

I’m giving my parents a hand and am going to start doing the book-keeping for my dad’s work.  For the past 20+ years, they’ve always done everything on paper, and since I’m going to be doing them, I’m making the transition over to doing it all electronically in QuickBooks.  The plan is to finish this [...]

Fell In Love With This Car Yesterday 03.23.09

On our way back from Decatur, Alabama yesterday evening, we came across a Chevrolet dealership that had numerous Corvettes.  Among them, this beauty, a Velocity Yellow Z06 and a red one just like it sitting beside it.  It’s a 2009 model, and is the first one I’ve seen in person with the new wheel style.  [...]

Sign Of Spring 03.21.09

Yesterday was officially the first day of Spring, and the trees are wasting no time.  Here’s a closeup of the Bradford Pear tree in our yard.  I wanted to take a shot of one of the ones up in Loudon, Tennessee while we were up there, but didn’t have a chance.  Things up there are [...]

Foggy Morning In Loudon 03.17.09

I’m out of town working for my brother again this week, and spending a majority of it up in Loudon, Tennessee.  As soon as we get a job done there, we’ll probably be doing a bit of work in Knoxville, and then head towards middle Georgia.
Anyways back to the point of this post, to show [...]

Hiking, A Blast From The Past 03.11.09

Today at work, my brother and I were asked to go and GPS some new bike trails that are open to the public.  My supervisor is a mountain biker, and wants us to create some maps showing the different trails that are in Raisin Woods, which currently contains 4 different trails that total about 5 [...]

9k Mile Bike Oil Change 03.10.09

The past few days here have been wonderful outside — mid 70s and mostly sunny.  I usually like it hot outside, but I must say that the mid 70s range is the most comfortable.  Having these nice warm days, especially over the weekend, allowed me to get my bike out for the first real enjoyable [...]

View From My Office 03.06.09

A slow friday at work makes me really wish that I at least had an office with a window.  Below is a shot of what I see if I look out of my office door.  Not much of a view at all, is it?  I see only a tiny glimpse of the outside through another [...]
