Fly-Juice-Air

I do not like it when people swing a used fly swatter near my face.
It could get fly-juice-air in my nose or mouth.
What is fly-juice-air you ask?
You know when you smack a fly and the fly's juices get squished out?
Those juices are on the fly swatter and when you swing it through the air it makes FLY-JUICE-AIR!

Super-Fun

We had a really fun time last night; Matt, Marci, Lori & I drank some beer, bbq'd some burgers, and played cards in the back yard.
We ate dinner then played Texas Hold-em, but we didnt have any poker chips, so I improvised with leaves from the tree. Everyone started with 20 leaves.

I didnt take any pictures, so you will just have to visualize the 4 of us sitting around our backyard table under the tree(the bank), under the stars and a full moon, playing cards and betting leaves worth $1000 each. It was hilarious.
I was laughing so hard, my face hurts today.

That is what I call Super-Fun Saturday night.

A good garden

I have been meaning to update my blog but I really didnt have much going on to talk about.
So my exciting news is my garden. Here are a couple of pics of my very first homemade cucumber and one of my homemade yellow squash. There were both grown from plants that started as seeds. I am excited to really be able to eat veges (other than tomatoes) I grew myself.



I have grown tomatoes before and I planted 10 regular tomato plants, plus one sweet 100 plant. My tomato plants are out of control. They are so big the tomato cages are tipping over from the weight of the plants. I love them, they are awesome.


The picture above is of all 10 tomato plants I have planted next to my driveway. It is a little blurry but you can see a few red ones in between those leaves. I just love them.

Trip to Ely

On July 21, 2008 I had to go to Ely, Nevada to work on an Aloha system. Matt decided to go along with me.
This is one of the many preserved animals in the Hotel Nevada. This one is inside a plexiglass box, that is why you see reflections of the neon around the wolf.
The pool at the hotel we stayed at. I never got the chance to use it.
Matt enjoyed the hot tub and pool while I did my job.
You can see how the pool is inside the hotel just behind the casino area. It is a small hotel but it has alot going on.
Traveling home from Ely, Nevada. The road betweeen Ely and Mesquite is long and somewhat boring. The road between Mesquite and SLC has a few interesting sights. Like "The Tree". The leaves that fell from "The Tree".

My trip to Georgia..

My trip to Atlanta, Georgia was pretty good. The travel part was not so fun, but the time I spent there was fairly enjoyable. Radiant Tech Fest was the reason for going. It is 3 days of classes to learn more about Aloha software and Radiant hardware that we sell and support at POS Technologies.
The Westin Buckhead hotel I stayed in was very nice. My room even had a mini bar with liquor and snacks. The picture below shows the view of the Lenox Square mall out my hotel window.
The building in the picture below was also one that i had a nice view of out my hotel window and I found it to be very unusual and striking. I think it had trees growing on the roof.
The picture below is of the Lenox Square mall. It was a very high end mall with Macy's, Bloomingdales, Cartier, Crate and Barrel, and tons of other shops. It was huge AND it has Valet parking. HOly cow. I saw a Lamborgini parked out front along with lots of Mercedes and BMW's. Down the block from the mall was a Saks Fifth Avenue. So this whole area (Buckhead) seemed to be an affluent area. The picture below is of a statue in front of the Lenox Square mall. I thought it was cute. Below is a picture of the room at Maggiano's where we had our closing dinner for Tech Fest on Monday night.
Below are two pictures of interesting sculptures in the Atlanta Airport walkway. I think they are very cool.
