travis' brain dump

Aside from the fact I came in this morning to our tape libraries are down and the usual cleanup from the weekend it’s pretty calm… so all in all not too bad of a day actually… especially the fact I’m out of here in about 30-45 minutes. 🙂

This weekend was pretty awesome I must say, aside from the fact I’ve been sick since I got back from Mexico… no, I didn’t bring back any illegal immigrants in my intestines again, it’s just a freakin sinus annoyance. It’s a good thing I kick these pretty well. We got back to find almost a foot of snow in the neighborhood… that was kinda cool. Christmas day dumped a nice amount with some followups on Thursday. It’s so nice to see all the snow falling not only here but in the mountains as well…

Went up with Amanda, Becca and Mike on Saturday to do a little boarding which was fun. It started out pretty rough for poor Amanda but in the afternoon session she started to get some balance and learn the ins and outs of her balance. I’m so proud of her. Becca did pretty good too… she was the first to get up on balance but still needs a couple more days up there to get some steering down. I also got in a good run at least with Mike so that was nice. 🙂 I look forward to snaggin another day up there soon though to go beat myself up… maybe this weekend if I’m feeling better.

The rest of the weekend was spent doing some cleaning… Christmas Tree removal, etc… Also doing the new year cleaning frenzy which is always fun. I’m trying to figure out how much of the downstairs stuff I can clean out to prepare for the remodel of that room… Time to do some project budgeting again! YAY!

At some point I need to get out in the garage and pull the turbo off the rolla… stupid thing decided to blow up on me… *sigh* oh well… at least it wasn’t the motor this time, lol. I actually think it might be cold related somehow… it appears only a seal has busted and oil leaked into the system…. all that means is I get to feed my OCD side and do some massive cleaning on the old girl…

Oh… speaking of the garage…. some nice remodel/additions going on in there as well actually… Andy got me a new workbench/desk for Christmas… I’ve so got to take some pictures but it’s really cool. Thanks a ton man, that was an awesome addition to the garage! Now I just have to clean the files and misc crud out of the old desk so we can break it down and move it out of there… I think sometime this winter (maybe while working on the family room) I need to pick up some more sheetrock and put a ceiling in the garage. It’s time to try to insulate that thing and make it a little more livable out there during the winter months… it’s ridiculous right now. Part of it will be getting that furnace working out there as well, that will make a huge difference. So many things to do…

Well, time to get some things wrapped up here so I can get out of here… Happy New Year!
