The lights are still on
I know it’s been awhile, but I promise we’re still here! Joy and I have been super busy since August and it looks like we’re going to be barreling into 2012 at full tilt. I’ll post some more when I get a chance (hopefully this month) about what’s been happening and all the exciting news. As you may have noticed, I’ve been testing out different themes for our site and I think we’ve settled on what you see here. I’m still learning all the cool features of WordPress, so I’ll be cleaning things up at the first of the year to make it look a little nicer.

Joy and I decided to invite our Sunday school class over this weekend for a little swimming and grilling out. When we got back from an early breakfast at Little Rosies, I set out to clean the pool. I decided to pull the solar cover off the reel it was haphazardly rolled onto and clean it off before storing until Fall. I drug it out into the back yard and hosed the grass and dirt off it and then turned my attention to sweeping around the pool. After about 30 minutes, I felt like the cover had been lying in the sun long enough to dry, so I went to pick up a corner to drain the excess water off and I was hit with this wave of hot air that smelled like soggy grass clippings. I folded up the cover and placed it under the house, but on my way back to the pool, I noticed...

Joy and I had a great Labor Day weekend this year. We had our usual breakfast at Little Rosie’s on Saturday morning and afterwords we ran a few errands. When Joy settled in for her usual weekend nap, I snuck off to the walking trails to get some road time on my new recumbent. Even though I haven’t ridden in nearly a month, I was able to effortlessly ride to the end of the Indian Creek trail and back twice! Cycling is SO much easier on a recumbent. On Sunday, we had a few friends over for a cook out and some Rock Band. I told everyone to bring swimsuits, but just like the last time I invited my family over to swim, one person doesn’t bring their swimmies and suddenly no one wants to swim. So, we fired up the grill early and made perhaps some of...
Read MoreRed Dead Redemption – 100%
Who’s got two thumbs and finally got 100% in Red Dead Redemption? THIS guy! Sadly, I only have 53% in trophies. Thanks Rockstar, for making an amazing western shooter. Definitely ignited an interest in Westerns… you know, after having lived one. Now I can enjoy a little downtime before Gran Turismo 5 drops.
Read MoreCan you hear what I’m reading?
The other day I was browsing Audible.com looking for something to spend the 2 credits I had accumulated on. I decided to go with “iCon” the book about Steve Jobs and give the other credit to my wife. When I went to check out and download my selection, Audible asked me if I wanted to use Amazon as my Audible log in and just use the same credit card I had on file for Amazon. I clicked yes and then went about my merry business. Last night I decided to pull out my new Kindle 3 and hop on the treadmill for some exercise. I turned on the Wifi and search for updates and archived items to see if there was a new update out or anything. To my surprise, my archived items count went from 7 to 31! I checked out the list and all of sudden all of the books I had ever...
