Weather, Fun, Weekend
Another beautiful weekend has passed. Warm temperatures, clear skies. Well, clear skies except for the pollen. As you may be able to see in the photo, the sky looks green/yellow. That is all of the pollen floating around in the air. Winters in the north make cars ugly from all of the salt and snow on the road. Here in the south, all of our cars take on a similar tint due to all of the pollen.
Joshua got a rock hammer this week. We took another trip to "Garnet Hill." A few more garnets for his growing geology collection. Prior to our trip to the side of the highway for garnet collection, we went to the Rolesville Middlel School and Rolesville High School FFA AgFest. We enjoyed looking at the farm equipment, animals and even picked up a few plants from the plant sale. My favorite was the chicks and ducks. I was having Friends flashbacks of Joey and Chandler. While looking at some farm equipment I saw a piece from Lansing, MI. Unfortunately, Gina had to work that morning and missed a piece of her home state. The owner of the piece was from Howell, MI.
Saturday night we got the fire pit going and made s'mores. We sat outside, under the moonlight, by the fire, enjoying our family. What an exceptional way to wrap up a wonderful day.
Sunday was also nice. My usual morning pick-up soccer game. Back home to do a little pick-up around the house (cleaning variety.) The afternoon included our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. Three of the four kids are still old enough to participate, though this is the last year for two of them.
Gina and I prepared chicken kabobs. About two minutes after the grill was on, poof. The flames go out. The gas was all used up. Fortunately I was able to use a neighbors gas to complete the meal. Dinner on the deck
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.
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...
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...
