What a difference 24 hours make. Yesterday afternoon it was about 90 degrees and this morning it was in the mid-40's when I was driving to work. I actually had to turn on the heater this morning.
Wonder how long until we get some snow?
Google is giving everyone a chance to watch Chris Rock’s new show on UPN via the internet for free before it gets canceled:
It is a pretty funny show, but you will need fast internet to watch it.
31 Shows. 31 Days. 31 Countries. Begins October 1.
My DVR will be getting the work out of its life during October, Missy on the other hand will be getting the bore of her life :). If history documentary watcher guy is a full time job and paid better then security specialist I think I may be looking at a career change.
What is on You DVR?
We had some Ribs that we needed to cook and we don't have much room to BBQ so I found a good recipe on the Internet for Oven Baked Ribs.
The recipe is quite simple:
Mix 2 bottles of barbecue sauce with 1 cup orange juice.
Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan.
Place ribs in pan and flip using tongs so ribs are coated.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a 300°F oven.
Total cooking time can be as short as 2 hours or as long as 4 hours.
Flip ribs over halfway through cooking.
Thomas (Missy's little brother) threw a pumpkin in their backyard earlier this spring and it has sprung into a mini-pumpkin patch. I told him I would take some pictures and put them on our website.
Here is a link to the picture gallery.
On another note I asked him if he was going to stay all hallowen night in his pumpkin patch and wait for the Great Pumpkin and he looked at me like I was crazy. Apparently kids are not watching nearly enough cartoons these days. I think I remember actually watching this cartoon in school.
I have updated the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) on our webpage and made some more layout changes. If you would like us to link to you leave me a message or send me an email.
Tomorrow is the first day of autumn and the Autumnal Equinox.
Here is a good link to describe the Autumnal Equinox.
This can only mean that the weather will start to get colder and HallowThanksChristmas day eve is just around the corner. I really love the upcoming Holiday Season and this year it should be twice as nice with my new wife.
Kenny came home from school in Illinois to pick up his car that had been in an accident and in the body shop. So we thought it would be a great Saturday to get out and play some golf.
Eric, Nick, Kenny and I headed out to Tanglewood Golf Course for a two on two scramble tournament with the losers buying the winners ice cream. I am proud to report that Kenny and I whipped Eric and Nick by 7 strokes before they forfeited on the 17th hole.
Missy headed out to Wal-Mart and the grocery store for some more shopping and bough $150 worth of “stuff’ for the next couple of weeks. So today I am going to cook some Chili and we are going to watch some of our favorite Sunday Shows (King of the Hill, Thee Simpsons and the new show The War at Home).
but Christmas is 99 days away.
I think I want an Xbox360 for Christmas... whats on your wish list?
I am having to start to wear ties to work now and have a few quick questions that if someone knows the answer to they should let me know:
1) How do you wash a tie?
2) How often is acceptable to wear the same tie (once a week or once a month)?
3) Best place to buy ties?
4) How much should you spend per tie?
Here are some more pictures from the trip:
I have returned home after being in the south since Thursday! We got all of the Red Crosses V-Sats setup and ran out of stuff to do. It was a really interesting experience. I don’t have many pictures due to Red Cross regulations but I do have this one picture:
How to hang an $800 access point the Red Cross way.
I may be returning back in the next week or so if they come up with more networking stuff they need done.
I now know where I am going and what I am going to be doing. Tomorrow
morning I will be heading to Montgomery, Alabama and will be traveling
through the south setting up mobile command units using VSATS, Cisco
Pix/Routers and Windows XP.
I will be playing the "Connection" game with my flights tomorrow.
Here is the list:
LV COLUMBIA JEFF 600A
AR ST LOUIS INTL 644A
LV ST LOUIS INTL 725A
AR MEMPHIS 838A
LV MEMPHIS 930A
AR MONTGOMERY 1050A
There is also a little hang up with the Red Cross funding structure.
The Red Cross normally gives each volunteer a MasterCard with $900 for
equipment, travel supplies and living expenses. Melissa at Red Cross
said they will try their hardest to have cards available in Montgomery
but they couldn't promise anything. Who thought they would ever run
out of credit cards?
That's all my update for now. I should have email contact all 21 days
I am gone, email me and I'll try to WOW you with stories from the
front.
Today Missy starts working full time at Classic Travel Tours and Tanning. So if your looking for some Classic Travel Tours or Tanning you should stop by and see what she is up to.
