travis' brain dump

a busy one for sure…

i’m glad we get every other friday off here… i don’t know how i could have fit everything into a 2 day weekend. out of it all i’d have to say friday/saturday were the busiest. friday i got up pretty early to get some snow tires on amanda’s car… did that just in the nick of time as we picked up quite a snowdump from friday afternoon through sunday morning. amanda also got her first experience driving in the snow, lol… she did really good actually.

most of friday was committed to an install at a client’s site where they were doing a full server upgrade/replacement. pretty awesome to see them up and running with current hardware and software though… it’ll make the support job easier for sure. a big thanks to Myke for hooking me up with a good reseller for the hardware and software, it saved quite a bit. after the install, speaking of Myke, we went over and met up with him and his wife to go head out for some dinner. we had a great time and i know amanda enjoyed the adult company outside of the house and away from kids, poor woman has been stuck making conversation with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old who doesn’t say a word during the days… i think Andy and I have probably become stale being the only other two adults she sees on a regular basis… lol we had a blast though… amanda made a comment to me about how scary it is how alike Myke and I are… (ridiculing bad drivers and the general same thought process) she said things along the line like it was like watching us both have a conversation with ourselves…. LOL

saturday was way busy… I was finishing up some things on our home network and then we headed out into the snow to run errands and go pick up our Christmas Tree. (you absolutely rock Andy!) after doing that it was back on the errands again with the usual Costco/Wal-Mart run to pick up odds and ends. then there was the 4-5 hours of decorating for Christmas… we decorated the tree, setup some lights, the usual gig… it was fun and Amanda had a blast with that as well. I think she’s happy it finally feels like Christmas around the house as we’ve been too busy to really do anything with decorating the last couple of weeks… have fun keeping those kids away from the tree though babe! hehe 🙂

today you can tell is a monday though… glad we’re having the christmas lunch for the company today… i’m starving. other than that, its oddly quiet here today… almost eerie. anyway… enough blogging… time to go do something production for 30 minutes till lunch. 🙂
