Much updates, so topics

So many things have been going on lately.  I've been really busy at work, using Autocad instead of Revit.  Can I proclaim my distaste for that now?  The workflow is so slow compared to Revit, Xref-s, layers, blocks, multiple files.... Horrible.

My usual coed soccer team began the season last night with a convincing win.  It seems as though the opposing team was a new formation and they even played down a player the entire match.  So a 7-0 win was not surprising.

We had more winter weather this week.  A bit of freezing rain made the roads slick and postponed my trip to work Tuesday.  Not sure if it is related, but a window in our house broke Tuesday morning.

This weekend I will be trying out a new game/sport called footgolf.  Imagine soccer combined with golf.

Recently I took my son to see NC State lose to Miami.  That was his first NCAA Div I basketball experience and we both enjoyed ourselves.  Unfortunately, my Droid Razr turned into a nice paper weight a few days before, so I was not able to get any pictures.

The wife found a concert for us to attend coming up in May.  Neon Trees with Smallpools and Nightmare and the Cat at Lincoln Theatre.  She was excited to see Neon Trees were coming to town.  When I saw Smallpolls would be joining them, I jumped on the opportunity to get tickets very early.  She has been looking for something to balance out the musicals we have been attending lately and I think this will fit the bill.

And yes, Arsenal dropped to third in the Premier League.  Still, there is a good chance they can finish strong and reclaim the top position.

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 ...
