Last week I picked up a couple new bands on iTunes. I have been jamming out this week to The Last Vegas (TLV) http://thelastvegas.com/ If you are into jamming guitar riffs and sleazy rock tunes then you will probably like these guys. My favorite songs include: The Other Side, Evil Eyes, Whatever Gets You Off, I'm Bad and more. I have been listing to the 2009 album release called Whatever Gets You Off. The album Bad Decisions was released in 2012

Another band to check out is Foxy Shazam http://foxyshazam.com/. These guys seem like they would be cool to hang out with. I really like their lyrics and the horns they incorporate. The lead singer Eric Sean Nally, has a Freddy Mercury look going. In the video's I have seen he is also quite the showman like Freddy was. I downloaded the album Foxy Shazam released in 2010 and The Church of Rock and Roll released in 2012.

Take a look

What’s up race fans? Let’s see, so I managed to get 13.7/miles in this week. Most of them were on the treadmill at the gym. Yes, I joined a gym. There is one close to the house and with the cold weather; it makes it nice to be inside. In addition I find myself doing some lifting, etc. while I am there. I try to get in by 6:30 am and spend about 20 minutes on some of the machines and then hit the treadmill for an hour. Shower up and then head to the office.

Candy and I went out for a 3/miler today and I am guessing we saw over 30 deer on our walk up Orion to Gold Camp Road. Candy got a picture of a big buck. Larger than this one that was in the neighbors front yard that I had taken.

Traveling tomorrow and wanted to get the shop cleaned up and finish getting the sheet rock on the fascia. Finished out the fascia and swept up the floor and loaded all the trash to take over to the dumpster. Managed to get most everything up off the floor and boxed up on the hanging shelf. Looks pretty good and now I have a clean palette to work with. Probably should have hung the Christmas lights today, but maybe next weekend.

For the last week and half I have been working my way through a learning Java book. Having a blast, I get to use my old VI and Sys-admin skills. It came back pretty quick. I did run into a couple of issues but with Google I was able to find the answers I needed.

I picked up some new tunes for the IPod, Redlight King, Everlast and Black Label Society. I am really enjoying Redlight King and the album “something for the pain”. Check out the website for music and videos Redlight King

Nothing New

I didn't get any miles in today, made the drive up to the Denver office today. Left the house about 6:50AM. Got home this evening around 6PM. It was raining/sprinkling so I told myself I would make it up tomorrow. Working from the Spring's office tomorrow so if it is not raining I'll hoof it in.

On the ride up on the I-25 Motor Speedway, I had the tunes rocking. Driving the stretch between CSpring & Denver and the reverse is a new experience every time. No road rage today on my part. With the rain this evening that slowed everyone down and they kept a little more distance between each other.

Here is the song of the day. This is the band Operator and the song is called Nothing to Loose from their Soul Crusher album.

Note to self: Call Marv and see if he can help me on Friday.

Happy Monday

I drove Candy's car today over to the Toyota dealership. Somehow moister got behind the clear plastic that cover's the instrument panel. So when looking at your speed you could see it but through cloudy glass. So dropped it off with them to have the glass replaced and the oil changed. From the dealership I walked to the office. It was just under two miles.

Busy day at work today and has been for the last several months. Makes the day fly bye! From work I walked back up to the dealership and picked up the car. Headed home and started dinner, threw a load a clothes in the washer, folded the clothes in the dryer, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. Man I would make the perfect wife! :-) I put pork chops in a baking dish, added a can of cream of mushroom soup mixed with a can of water. Poured it over the top of the pork chops then layered 7 slices of bacon over the top, followed by sliced onion. To accompany this fine dish I made homemade mac & cheese.

I logged 3.8/Miles on the GPS so that puts me at 43.22/Miles for the month. Tomorrow is a Denver day so I will have to either get up at 4:30AM or walk in the evening when I get home. Going to opt for the evening as there is no way I am getting my ass out of bed at 4:30AM. :-)

I am not a big fan of country music, but as of late I have been listing to Hank Williams III. I am not sure that you can really call him country, but here is video of one of his songs that I have been listing to.

MISS CRAZY

Crazy

So it has been crazy insane at work these last couple of weeks. I have found myself making numerous trips up to Denver, usually twice a week. I have to admit I have been pretty lucky with the traffic. I try to avoid the rush hour traffic so I leave early around 6:30 or mid-morning around 9:30. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining glad to be busy. It’s an awesome team with very smart individuals and we are growing.

Looking back at the date of my last update, I have a few updates to catch up on. I haven’t’ been to the shop at all this week. I have gotten a little more done since my last update. I decided to go with canister lighting instead of the 8ft Florissant lighting. I put them in and have run all the wiring, but not connected them together yet. Here is a picture of the latest. I hope to get over there this weekend and get the wiring done for the lights and the sheet rock up on the wall. These last couple of days we have finally gotten some much needed rain fall. I have not seen it yet, but at the company BBQ today it was mentioned that snow had covered the top of Pikes Peak. I found this link from the city maybe in the morning we might be able to see how much snow has fallen: http://www.springsgov.com/units/pikespeak/index.asp

For the last week I have been trying to make a real effort to get some miles in. I started a new diary tracking what I eat, my weight and how many miles I have walked. For this week I am up to 13/miles. Candy is off tomorrow and plans to walk with me for half the way. She was off on Monday and walked with me then as well. I have put some new tunes on the IPod and made up a new playlist. Most of the music I listen to is Rock or Alternative. You will find a little Country and Pop in the list but they are songs with a good beat. Here is what I was listing too as I walked to and from work today.
