New Digs...

Busy, busy, busy... Haven't posted in some time now... New job and residence has been keeping me on the move.. Just thought I'd throw up a few shots of the new place. I'm liking it very much and summer is right around the corner.. Still trying to sort through some of the stuff from the move and get somewhat organized. My room isn't ready for pictures just yet but here's the rest of the place..



Sunken family room and the fireplace are great...



As is the formal living room...



How to beat the summer heat!!!



Courtyard in the back...



Shaded area if things get a little too hot...



I shagged some of the old pallets from some of the freight deliveries at work. Broke out the Ryobi 18V Cordless toys I own, snapped in some freshly charged batteries and starting ripping...



The resulting fire that evening kept my toes nice and toasty...


That's about all to report for now. Hopefully I'll find the time for more frequent entries...

Be well all,

Nice Day on the Lake...

Hit Irvine Lake this morning with the Dad. Gets a little bit cold out there in the morning so I bundled up with the waffle knit, a fleece vest and a top coat. Nice and toasty. Not to mention the skullcap to keep my ears from freezing. We zig zagged all over the lake trolling for a Trout or two but came up empty. Got about 4 hits throughout the day but nothing ever hooked up. Daybreak was kinda nice though and I snapped off some pics... Thanks to the Dad for the breakfast burrito and a fun day on the pond. Better luck next time!!!


Sunrise over the transom...

Prepping for takeoff...


Good seat up front...

We'll have to try this again in the near future...

New Template...

Man, I was getting really tired of the blue background with the polka dot pattern. Playing havoc with my eyes. So I started cruising the web for blogger templates and found this little #. Prashant here at work showed me how to grab the source code and make a few tweaks to the margins and viola... Everything lines up just as it should provided you have a 17" monitor or better...

This is much easier on the eyeballs and I think the colors are pretty snappy...

That's Andy MacDonald all suited up and in game action by the way...

Happy Holidays to all,

Winds of Change...

Changing things up a bit around the first of the year... Moving to Mission Viejo if all goes well. Nice spacious home with plenty of creature comforts and a very nice host... Ms. Winnie Sille (Wendy) and a Pool!!!! No more sweltering summers for me..

Here's a shot of Winnie and Me at Splitz... We were goofing on Fabian and wouldn't you know it, his new ultra hitech IPhone can't even accept pictures.. What's up with that???

Starting a new job as well. December 10th will be my first day. Without going into too much detail it's a local company, (a whopping 2 blocks from my current employer) with a better rate of pay, a benefits package that puts the present one to shame, 10 sick days, 2 personal and a bunch of other incentives that I just couldn't turn down. I'd slag on the place that I'm at but I was always taught... "If you couldn't say anything nice..." Some of you out there in cyber space know exactly what I'm saying here...


Scott chillin' with Winnie Sille...

Well that's about it for now. Have alot of sorting to do before the move. I've managed to accumulate quite a bit of stuff over the years that I have absolutely no use for at present and don't want to move it. Therefore I'll be tossing a good portion of it away or selling odds and ends via Craigslist...

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving... I'm sure I'll have some pictures of the feast at the Mikkelsen residence...

This is getting spooky....

My job sucks ass.....

But,... There always the opportunity to throw a line in the lake at dusk..

Got these two dudes in about 20 minutes as the sun was setting today.. Life was good for about a half hour..


The big guy...



The little guy...

Gutted the second guy but I'm getting pretty adept and removing the hook through the gills with my hemostats... No blood and he swam off just fine...

The Road Warrior...

Okay, this should be interesting… As you may or may not know, my brother Darryl is an OTR big rig driver for Covenant Transport. You can find out more about the company here. www.covenanttransport.com I was goofing off with Google Earth the other day and decided to capture the 48 contiguous states and put their names in place as best I could with MS Digital Image Pro. Now the deal is, when Darryl checks in from the road I’m going to add a line from his starting point to his destination. He gets dispatched all over the place so I’ll probably have to color code or insert arrows so everyone can tell which direction he’s going. As always, just click on the picture for the full sized version.

Green lines indicate that his truck is loaded and the white lines indicate that he's running empty enroute to his next pickup. That'll have to do for now... Let me know if anyone has a better system...


Tennessee to Long Island, New York 9/25/07
Long Island back to Memphis, TN 9/27/07

I’ll also bump the posts when there’s an update or possibly even just set up another page. That way anyone who’s interested won’t have to navigate a bunch of posts to find it.. One of these days he’s going to have to replace his missing digicam and get me some shots of his travels..



Be well all,

-Scott

P.S. Just put up a dedicated page for this subject.. See the links section...
