Weekend Wrap-up, No Fooling


 The first weekend of April 2014 was a busy one.  Saturday morning started out with the scout kids each heading out to a different event.  The webelos scout went to a Math Day and earned his math belt loop and pin.  The older boy scout went to a horsemanship merit badge event.  I spent an hour at Wake Forest Dirt Days with Gina and Josh. Josh had his picture taken next to a screech owl and holding a corn snake.  Brendan spent four hours in the park with friends from school and one that changed schools this past year.  Playing basketball, water gun fight.


Saturday was also the 34th birthday of R.E.M.  A lot is still going on in the world of R.E.M. even though the band officially no longer exists.  A Record Store Day release, Michael will induct Nirvana to the Rock 'N Roll hall of fame, Peter has a new album, and some "new" merchandise is being sold from years gone by.  Click the link above for more information.

Sunday saw another loss for Arsenal.  This time falling to Everton.  Focus will now turn to Wigan and the FA Cup.

After my normal Sunday pick-up soccer game, again I was leaving the house with Gina and Josh.  This trip was to the farmers market.  New vegetable plants were bought and some flowers.  Now, all we need is some better weather so they can go outside to put those things into place.

A busy and fun weekend.

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...
