Is George W, still in office? Economy still suck, so he must be!

So here we are at Friday already. This week has just flown by. I think it is a combination of all the things going on at work and without the kids here, my nights are quiet.

It has been good to have a week to myself but I miss those kids and it will be good to have them running around here again. I think I will call them today because I haven't heard from them in a couple days. I don't blame them, the last time they called I had a headache and kind of cut the conversations short.

The town is getting cleaned up after the big wind storm. The trees are all chopped up and on the curbs. I can't imagine what the city is going through trying to get all of this mess cleaned up. I am sure it is a huge project.

The rain keeps coming down here. I think it rains almost every day. It is supposed to keep up like this for the weekend and into next week.

I should have a shipment of 52 computers coming in today. The plan is to work this weekend and get the computers installed and that project done. August is just around the corner and time really starts to compress then.

I was thinking about the video blog and when I would record and post it. I think it would be best to do it over the weekend and post it for the Monday post. The main thing is I need to have some event to talk about to even make it interesting. I guess we will see how it goes. Life can be quite dull.

I hope you all have a good weekend. Here is a pic of Drew and Jess last year on their vacation:

I wish I was back at the beach!

We got more rain today, which is something we don't really need. Last night seemed pretty nice. It was mostly cloudy but the temp was good and there wasn't any humidity.

The kids are having a good time on vacation. They call me about every other night and update me on what they have been doing. It sounds like they have found all kinds of fun things to do. It is good for them to get away a bit. Hopefully, they come back refreshed and ready to start the school year.

I just heard my sumpump go off and that is a good thing. We have gotten so much rain that everything is just saturated. I think that is why so many trees were uprooted in the big storm the other day.

Life is dull - nothing else to mention. Here is another pic from California. This beach was awesome! I can't believe people live with this type of view in their neighborhood.

Hump day just isnt the same when you work 7 days a week

I think the video blog turned out pretty good. It was very easy to make the video and if I wanted to edit the video, that would have been easy as well. So far, the Apple experience has been pretty good. I have to work with it in a office setting to see if it can do as well as my PC.

I set it up on the network yesterday and it had a little trouble, but I eventually got there. I have to work with network drives and mapping yet. I also haven't used MSOffice on it much but it looks a bit different. I am not sure what kind of impact that wile be.

I had to go to Gene's house yesterday because on of his golfing buddies called me and said it looked like he had some tree damage.

I took my chainsaw, Nancy and a positive attitude out to his house and there were several trees down. One big tree down against the house but as it turned out, it broke a storm window but not the inside window and pulled the gutter off the house. It didn't look like there was any roof damage besides that. He was lucky. The tree is huge and it will take a company of some sort to remove it. I don't think a couple of guys with chainsaws are going to get that thing away from the house. In retrospect, I should have taken some pictures for the blog.

I have been enjoying this week at home alone. It is kind of nice to have the house to myself and it is always clean. I miss the kids but this has been a pretty good week so far. Almost like a little vacation.

I think the video blog is a pretty good thing. I think I will try to post one video blog a week. I think if I do more than that, you will get sick of seeing my ugly mug.

Here are some pictures from California:
