At about 10:30 this morning I backed my brother's U-Haul up into our driveway, which had departed in convoy style along with his Mazda (we switched off who got to drive what) at 3:00 PM the previous day (Pentecost) from Boston.  We had a most incredible road trip/adventure in the hours in between, most of which I will never remember because I was ( Read more... )

Well, I am no longer living the two car lifestyle, which has somewhat relieved driveway congestion here. There has historically been as many as 9 cars here, and one could make justification for there being 10-11 only from family and siginificant others. One less won't hurt a great deal, and Clawd went to a good home.
It has been a strange mother's ( Read more... )

Yet more time has passed since I have updated this thing.  I fear that I am loosing momentum.  Oh well, you'll all just have to deal with it.
Work continues to be stimulating and exciting.  I spent $24000 on Friday buying sensors and ancillary devices for my newest project.  That was exciting.  It makes the $1000 in fixtures for my current ( Read more... )

So a friend at work found out my girlfriend is moving to Minnesota, so he insisted that I watch "Fargo."  A good, disturbing movie, I must say.  Ugh.  Don't watch it right before bed.

I realize that is has once again been more than a week since I have updated this thing.  It still remains hard to come home and jump on the computer after sitting in ( Read more... )

So I haven't been posting nearly as often as I'd like (or checking up on friends, for that matter - I guess I'm just not internet people), but here it is: my lent and holy week reflections, all blurted out in no particular order ( Read more... )

Last week at work was testing, which meant lots and lots of data reduction behind a computer.  Getting home more late that usual, combined with trying to sleep enough meant basically that I didn't have the motivation to get behind a computer yet again.  And somehow I don't think that updating from work would be a good idea. . .
I got a new computer ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning and realized I didn't have to be anywhere until 10 AM, so did something I almost never do anymore; I went back to sleep. When I finally did get up I realized that it was a beautiful day: blue sky with fluffy clouds, birds chirping, bees trying to have sex with the chirping birds . . . uh, I mean . . . yeah, spring is here!

Life is very good. I returned unscathed from Boston (apart from a few paintball welts), and have resumed engineering 8 to 9 hours a day ( Read more... )

I've arrived safe in Boston, and spent the day bumming around with my siblings.  Well, not completely bumming around.  We went paintballing, and took turns dishing out and receiving punishment.  Probably the high point of the event was when I took out the entire other team (3 on 3) in less than 30 seconds.  Nerf wars definitely helped to prepare me ( Read more... )
