Hey, just wanted to let everyone know I did make it to Honduras in one piece.  Some flight delays, but we made it through customs with no problems and still have all of our stuff!!

Hey, It’s almost Thanksgiving and I’m not going to be in the country to celebrate it!  Landon & I are headed to Honduras, C.A. to build a bunch of computers for the mission down there.  It’s nice to have skills that are useful!  On another note, I got a digital picture frame that I keep on my desk so I can see and be reminded of places I’ve been and things I’ve seen, I really like it.  They guys in the office think it’s pretty cool as well.  Everything has worked out perfectly, the dogs are taken care of, the luggage and equipment is taken care of;  the only thing left for me to do is pack my personal stuff and I’ve already started on that, I just have to finish.  I am a little sad that I won’t be home to celebrate with the fam, but Christmas isn’t far away and we’ll all be together then.  Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving

Today I verified that the first PC I built after college has died and it makes me sad. At least I got to witness the death with the screaming fans and pictures rolling repeatedly through the monitors. Well, I guess 5 years is pretty good for a machine that rarely gets turned off and I’m just glad it wasn’t a disk failure, I verified today that there’s something on the motherboard that has gone short and the power supply crowbars on it; most certainly a dead chicken.

I took a quiz today and here are the results:

I think that pretty much sums it up!

I have finished uploading all the pictures from the Colorado vacation.  The last set was from the Garden Of The Gods, an incredible park full of all sorts of weird rock formations.  Most of the rocks were really red due to their high content of iron oxide.  I was even able to get a tiny flower in a macro shot, fairly well focused without a tripod!  Here are the two of my favorites from the park:
