MIdterms, Re-employment, Spring Soccer

Mid-terms are here! I am a little nervous about taking the midterms. So far my grades are good I just hope I my midterms reflect what I have learned/re-learned accurately.

I am now a full time employee. This is the first time since January 31, 2011 that I am a full-time employee. The first time since May 14, 2012 that I am employed and not an independent contractor. I am working at J Davis Architects and so far, the last two days, it has been a good experience. I hope to get busier soon as right now I am not doing too much work. Tomorrow night I am going to the NC Revit User Group meeting and will spread the good news of my employment.

Finally, the spring season of soccer starts tonight, if we don't get rained out. This season we are in the same division as last fall. Hopefully we can move to the top of the table and get promoted for the fall season. New gloves, new jersey.... clean sheet? We will see.

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 ...

Record Store Day 2019 Roundup

Well, it's been nearly a year since my last blog post . Fittingly that was about my then new turntable. Ever since I received that wonderful gift I have been increasing my collection of vinyl records. This year when the list of records was released for Record Store Day I became very excited.
