Ah, the weekend! I was hoping to get out on the trail tomorrow but I am headed to the SQL Server Saturday meeting up at Mr. Biggs. A team member that I work with Mr. Mark Halstead is presenting and several others are attending.

Walking to work and back
I got of my ass and walked to and from work today. Took the longer route both ways and managed to get six miles in. I left the house at 6:30am and got home tonight at 6:30pm. Got to walk in the dark for most of the trip home.

Colorado Birds
Over the last couple of years I have been taking pictures of birds when I come across them on the trail or around the house, mostly in the back yard. I took some of the pictures and made an attempt of making a video montage. Some of the pictures are better than others. I hope you enjoy!
Party's Over
Holidays are over and tomorrow it is back to work. Going to be a busy year and looking forward to it. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you the best for the New Year!
Let’s see I was planning on doing the Mt. Rosa loop on Sunday but my hiking partner slept in. Then I thought I would do it today but I didn’t want to spend my last day off gone for 6 hours.
It was a great day to be outside so I headed over the shop to see what work I could get done.
I got a new blast cabinet a week of so back and today seemed like the day to get it all put together and ready for operation. It went together pretty easy doing it by myself. I need to get some sand and then I can look forward to blasting something. This one is larger than my old one so I should be able to blast bigger pieces.
Once the blaster was all setup I spent a little time working on the west wall. I have most of the insulation up and am just about ready for sheetrock but that will have to wait until spring/summer, just too darn cold in the shop without any heat. Heat is on the list but it is going to be a while.
I loaded up a new back pack and will be trying it out this week for when I walk to work. I am planning to try to walk everyday this week. I started a new spreadsheet for 2012 to start tracking my mileage and diet. I have a lot of travel planned for the month of January so I am going to have to get used to the treadmill when on the road.
Happy Hiking
