Being sick…

I hate it.  I left work on Tuesday afternoon and didn’t make it back to work until Friday afternoon. Some people would enjoy this…I hated it.  Despite just about every device in the world to entertain myself I was still bored (there really is NOTHING on TV in the daytime).  I did a bunch of [...]

Bud-weis-er!

Friday night we went to Fort Collins for dinner at a sushi place. My wife and I passed on the sushi, but did have some rolls that were pretty good. I’m not sure if I’ll be a sushi person or not because I got a bit queezy off of the rolls. On [...]

…in bed

On Thursday, my wifes birthday, we met for lunch at a Chinese place.  It was the first time that I had been there and her second time.  It was busy since it was noon and it’s smack dab in the middle of down town where everyone takes their lunch break at noon.
We finally get a [...]

Dead computer and cars

Those 4 words about sum up my weekend.  More so on the dead computer than anything.
My wife had been complaining that her computer (the laptop) was slow.  Most of the time when she complains of it being slow it’s the user being impatient.  That was not the case this time.  Luckily I was able to [...]

Medicine Bow National Forest

Medicine Bow National Forest
This is the photo I promised.  It’s not the greatest panorama, but I thought it turned out pretty good.  Next time I’ll get the tripod out and take my time.  Despite the cars zipping by at 60 MPH! (click on the image for a larger view!)

To Saratoga and back!

I mentioned awhile ago that my wife and I were going to a place called Saratoga. This last weekend was that trip. A guy that I worked with recommended that we go there since we were interested in hot springs and the nearest one, that we knew of, was pretty far away. So [...]

Takeoff!

Takeoff!
We made it back successfully from Saratoga. I’ll put up a bit more later this week. For now it’s my hopefully weekly photo. This was caught on our way back from Saratoga. Almost gave my wife a heart attack, but this photo was worth it. So were the hot springs. [...]

The technical industry

Most of the time I really like working in the technical industry.  I really like solving problems for people and have them go “wow” when I’ve done nothing more than setup their e-mail.  However there are times, that I wish I wasn’t in the industry.  Take today, 1 minute before I was supposed to leave [...]

Ka-Boom!

I was informed by my wife this weekend, who was informed by a co-worker that if there’s ever a nuclear war, we’ve got nothing to worry about.  The reason being is that Cheyenne, will be one of the first targets if not the first.  To top it all off, we live about 2 blocks away [...]

Not 60 Degrees!

 
Yesterday we turned on the AC in the car on our way back from Loveland/Fort Collins Colorado. This is what we woke up to this morning!  That’s the west for you!
