How is everybody today?
How was everybody's weekend?
Mine was pretty mellow aside from my Ikea trip. I did however get my hardtail out and on the rollers for 5min till my tire went flat. :)

Find anything at Ikea, stosh?

My weekend was fantastic. :)

Friday night: Dek-hockey game (a 2-1 loss) followed by wings and beer
Saturday: Awesome breakfast, then a great workout at the gym. Then I finally bought some various ingredients for my bar, and I spent all afternoon mixing different drinks for me and the wife.
Sunday: Got some great deals on some work clothes (pants, shirts, ties, shoes), had a kick ass burger on English muffin for lunch. To finish the weekend, me and MMcG won our 10:00 PM hockey game. I scored the game winner on a sweet breakaway goal late in the game. WOO HOO!

Does Ikea make a cool looking A/V componet cabinet?

Worked on replacing the faceplates on the eaves.

Got in an hour ride at the trails yesterday.

Both kiddos and the wife are sick. At least the little ones are sleeping through the night.

That about covers it.

'morning stosh.

My girlfriend's mom asked for some of my macro photography mounted in a multi-picture frame.. Finished matting it this weekend, and she's going to hang it in her new living room. Kinda cool - it's the first time my photography will actually be displayed somewhere other than my computer :)

I think I'm going to try to start getting out for a short urban ride every day after work... I'm horribly out of shape!

Morning all. No riding for me this weekend. It's snowed every day. Did get a bunch of stuff done. Dog to the groomers, removed/ cleaned up shock off bike to send in for service, went to the movies yesterday and saw "Closer".

Weekend was OK - spent the bulk of the day saturday doing stuff around the house and running errands. Sunday I finally got some time to hike around some of the land behind our house. Took the dogs out - they had a blast because the top layer of the snow was icy enough that they didn't fall though. Hiked for about 2 hours, covered a fair amount of ground. I was surprised at how many trails were cut... there is some definite riding potential out there.

Watched I, Robot last night... decent movie, some good special effects - the surround sound got lots of action.

Hey - had a great weekend!

Friday night - my son Liam played a full game with his team at the Hartford Civic Center before the Hartford Wolfpack game. They won 5-2! After his game, we all went to dinner and then hit the Wolfpack game after that. The Pack crushed the Portland Pirates 7-2 or something like that!

Saturday - Connor skated and I watched, then we hit a hockey pros shop and bought some stuff, then drove to Bridgeport where LIam's team won - 4-0! Then out to dinner for Mexican!

Sunday - more Hockey - another shutout for Liam's team - this time 5-0 over Hamden, CT! Then pizza at Laura's and Deck hockey at 10:00 pm where Babs kicked ass and scored the game winner on a sweet hustle breakaway play!

I wish the weekends included Mondays though.

I've been around... just not as much as I used to... Lately, I've spent a lot of time on car sites trying to keep our fleet running...

We're slow here at work right now, so I'm playing with ACAD ABS again...

Autodesk Building Systems. Sort of the MEP equivalent to Architectural Desktop (ADT). Now when the archichoke gives us plans in 3D, we can put 3D lights, switches and receptacles in to match... plus there are some interesting circuiting and scheduling functions similar to ADT.

wow cool! We were thinking about going to Autodesk Revit but the time to learn it and switch over would take to long.

Helped at the Torture Test on Saturday and rode the SS yesterday. They put in one huge climb that I don't see me needing to try anymore with a 34-18 gear. Pretty fun. I hope it is drying up so I can night ride with Wumpus tomorrow.

No doutt about that... The learning curve seems pretty steep... the set-up especially if you want to intergrate your company standards into the system. In a way, it requires you to completely re-think every aspect of how you design stuff... and toss out all of the old menus you've been using for years... which can make some of the old crusty CAD operators a bit nervous...
