Another week in the books, should I get extra credit?

Another week has come and gone. I think I kept up well with the school work. I am current on all my classes, though now I have some work to do for the coming week. I've also been doing some paying work this week, which is good for a change. Doing some Autocad drafting, not Revit, but it is work. Read this to see my comments about the work.

The kids had their pinewood derby this weekend that was postponed from the previous weekend due to the weather. This year we had two kids doing the derby. They both did well, each car doing better than the previous years cars. Check out a couple of the videos.

Tomorrow is soccer with the fun pickup group. I hope we have a better turn out than last weeks total of five people.

After that I have some network drops to run in the house. I'll be going into the crawlspace to run some Cat5e Plenum cable to the four Minecraft junkies computers. Hopefully having them wired vs. wireless will reduce some of their "lag" issues. Today I changed the two phone outlets in the kitchen to one network drop. I wonder if Mr. Robinson will give me extra credit for my NET 110 class? Thanks Zach for loaning the tools and giving me the cable, RJ45 jack and RJ45 ends for the cable.

Name The People

I was asked by a co-worker to create some Revit families from CAD blocks. They are 2D plan representations of people. I asked the requester if she wanted them named any certain way because this is what I saw.

A Weekend in the VA Mountains

This past weekend we took a trip to the mountains of Virginia. It is an area we have visited before with the Boy Scout troop, but this time we went without the scouts. I have been riding consistently again for nearly a year after I bought a new to me cyclocross bike. You can read more about that here . After more than 2,800 miles on that bike since last June, it needed some more work. The headset was pretty much shot and would not be repaired in time for our planned trip to Virginia. So Gina suggested that I get a new bike. I ended up getting a Giant Revolt Advanced 2 from Giant Wake Forest . We arrived at our rental house very early Saturday morning. 1:30am in fact. We found a place to stay that was literally steps away from The Virginia Creeper Trail . Saturday was to be a day we went hiking at Grayson Highlands State Park . We met Gina's co-workers at the park just after 10:00 am and started our hike. We have camped at this park before with the Boy Scouts but have never ...

Buddhapalooza 2019

If you have been following this blog you will know that I have started cycling regularly again. In my past, I tried racing. I never did exceptionally well, but I did enjoy it. Now that I am back on a bike and getting fitter, I decided to give a race a try. I saw a notification for Buddhapalooza and did some research. It looked like the perfect event for me to try racing again. It is set up as a fundraiser, 10 miles long (7 miles on road and 3 miles single track.) It looked like a fun, low-pressure event not so focused on winning and more on having fun. So I registered for the event and showed up to a course I have never ridden. Billed mainly as a mountain bike race, there were several other people on cross bikes like me. It was a Le Mans start, set your bike down in a given area, all the racers are fifty yards away on foot. When the race starts, you have to run to your bike and then start riding. I placed my bike close to the run start line. I think this was a mistake. By the ...
