Rainy Projects

2009-06-23T10:28:00.002-07:00

Well I this last weekend I was going to work in my backyard and get rid of weeds and whatnot. But for the last several Saturdays that I wante dto work in the backyard it has rained. So instead I worked in my upstairs bathroom. For the longest time it has been driving me crazy that there was carpet in my bathroom. It is a pain to clean. So I finally did something about it. It tooks about six hours with a few breaks in there to rip out my carpet and put in some tiles. It turned out pretty good. I have a few things to finish and fix but overall it turned out great and I am happy with it. Maybe this saturday I will get to the backyard.

3-day Weekend

2009-05-26T22:05:00.004-07:00

So this was a nice weekend. i pretty much took it easy. Did a little yard work. Had some BBQ. Monday i got to hang out with my Sister and her family at my Brother-in-law's family home in Midvale. It was a nice visit. i played a lot with the kids, they are a lot of fun. After i left there i stopped by some Friends in Lehi and had a nice visit with them. Played with even more kids. By the end of the day I was wore out. So I came straight home and went to bed and had a nice long sleep. The End.

Somewhat Busy Good Friday

2009-04-10T22:18:00.003-07:00

Well since I had the day off today I decided to sleep in. Staying up late helped that. But I didn't intend to sleep in till 11am. By the time I got up and ready it was almost noon. So I had a little shopping to do as my twin nephew's birthday is next week. So since Kmart was close I decided to look there. Boy was that a mistake and a waste of time. I am always amazed that Kmart is able to survive. So I decided to travel a little farther. I ended up going to the Springville Wal-mart. While on the way on the Freeway there was construction and the off-ramp was packed, so much that I didn't get in line fast enough and ended up going to Spanish fork and back. Though I almost think that was faster than getting in that off-ramp line. Anyway I got my shopping done and head to the UPS store in Provo to ship my nephew's gifts as well as a computer for my parents. Next on my list was to go work on a new computer and get it ready for use at my church building. Got it to a good point, have to do some more with Church tech support but can't do that till next week.

During all this I went and saw Monsters vs Aliens. I thought it was fun and entertaining. They story was fun and not to crazy. Though i had fun with it, it probably isn't one that i would buy for re-watchability.

To close the night I just took it easy and watched some TV. Watched the season finale of Terminator. I am a little bummed as it seems it may be the series Finale. I hope not but who knows it is Fox.

Maybe Tomorrow

2009-04-09T09:29:00.001-07:00

Just a quick note. I have been busy and have neglected to post here. I have tomorrow off so maybe I can come up with a few things.

The other day we were moving some furniture and in the hallway I happened to run into the drinking faucet before I saw it and pinched my hand real good. As you can see in the pictures. I don't think either of us won.

President's Weekend

2009-02-17T15:39:00.002-07:00

So this past weekend was busy and not so busy. It had it's ups and downs. Saturday I went and did a bunch of shopping and browsing. I did so much walking around my ankle didn't like it and I had to go home and rest it. I tried shopping some more to the same result. I got most of what I needed to do don so that was the good part. Sunday was a busy day at church meetings from 8:30am till 4pm. After that I took it easy and just lounged around the condo. Monday was nice, I slept in. Then later that day I helped some friends empty their basement in preparations for them to finish their basement. When I got home from that I was sore. It turned out to be a good workout. That evening I played on the computer and watched the movie The Rocker. It was pretty funny and I enjoyed it. So that was my weekend in a nut shell. I hope you all had a good weekend.

There and Back

2009-01-26T13:34:00.002-07:00

Well the last two weeks I was in California. My boss and I went down to our office down there. We got to learn about all their IT needs and fix a few things. We were very busy, several days I was really wore out. We did have a break from work during the 3-day weekend. We went to Disneyland. My friend's family surprised him and came down for the weekend. We had a good time. I hadn't been at the land of Disney in a while. They have a new Toy Story interactive ride/game that I liked. It was in 3D and you got to shoot stuff. Having 3 days there was nice, gave us a chance to get everything we wanted to do in. It was a lot of walking but still fun. Though it wasn't easy it was nice to go down to California. The first night we stayed with my parents. Had a nice little visit with them. I am glad to be home now. two weeks in a hotel is not as nice as your own home.

Well

I wanted to post some pictures but was having a challenge with my phone camera so it will have to wait. Anyway I had a pretty good holiday. My parents came up from California and my sister was also in town. We got together the day after Christmas and visited and excahnged gifts. I had to leave to go to my friend's wedding. The wedding was also good. It was nice to see my friend happy.

The day of Christmas I took my parents and went to a friends house up north of me. It was an interesting drive because of all the snow. It had snowed all week long. For a little while I thought maybe we might get stuck up north, there was a lot of snow. But all was fine. We had a nice visit and dinner with friends.

New Year's day I went over to my friends house again and had dinner and hung out. Played some WoW and card games. We have been playing this one called Bohnanza(we call it the bean game.) It is a fun card game where you have to grow beans and harvest to get money. Good times.

My family had a safe drive home, but one of their dogs did not have a good day. He got hurt and ended up losing his eye. He is now doing better. They have been taking good care of him.

Today it is once again snowing and it has me a little wore out. I am tired and it is going to make it hard to get a lot of stuff done today. My eyes are bugging a little also. So for now this is all I write. i hope to post some pictures soon.

The Holidays are over.

2009-01-05T10:43:00.001-07:00

Wow I survived the holidays once again. Though I haven't taken time to post in a while so today I plan on posting a few items. So check back later if you like.

WoW Nerd Fest 11-13-2008

2008-11-18T13:29:00.008-07:00

On Wednesday night I walked over to the mall and got in line with 500 or more people to get a computer game. The new expansion for World of Warcraft came out. So I went about an hour or so before midnight and got in line. I was suprised to see so many people there. Once it hit midnight the line went really fast. I got my game went home installed it then watched the opening movie and then went to bed.

Though Friday I went over a friend's house and we played quite a bit.

If you know the provo towne center, I was waiting in linein front of Mario's used games. The line went from Gamestop, down to sears, around the corner. It was quite a site.
