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.

New Driver + New Car = Less $

Well, the kids are getting older and today our eldest received his license from the state of NC. So that means our insurance will increase, dramatically. Not only that, but we are once again a 3 car family. The wife has the Kia Sedona so that we can accommodate the family of six. We still have the Dodge Charger, and last week I bought a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. Gina and I had been in discussions for a couple of weeks about the "car situation" and I had been tentatively shopping online for a small hatchback. After searching Autotrader , Carmax , Carvana I found the Hyundai through Autotrader at a local dealer . So I messaged them online to make sure the car I had seen was still available and to make arrangements to see the car and take it for a test drive. I left work last Wednesday at lunch and made my way to the dealer. After driving the car I decided it was the right price and just what I had been looking for. Gina was away on an overnight field trip so I sent some tex...

A Thursday Weekend Wrap-up

It was another concert weekend. We kicked it off Friday at Local 506 seeing regional bands Youth League , Knowne Ghost and Cuzco . Earlier in the week my son told me that he remembered seeing the bassist for Youth League at Wreckingball last summer. When we arrived at the club I saw the band outside talking. I told my son to ask him if he was indeed there last summer. Being too shy he declined. I on the other hand have not many reservations about approaching people on the street to talk to them. When asked, he confirmed that he was there. Knowne Ghost was a last minute replacement for Outbound and I was grateful because I was able to hear a "new to me" band. Youth League Saturday morning was an early start. I got up early to see Gina off for her trip to the SAS conference in Orlando. I watched the first half of the Merseyside Derby. Then I headed out to watch local soccer as some of my friends were playing each other before my own 10:00 kickoff. My game was a victory...
