The Canadian Spiked Mullet
A punch version of our American classic…having fun in our suite before going out with Natalie
Have you been to Ellen’s lately…to have sex?

Have you been to Ellen’s lately…to have sex?
So Ellensburg, the tiny town where I went to college, has a new commercial and theme to their old slogan.
Apparently so many of us got down and dirty in cow town that there is a baby boom and they all want to go to Ellensburg.
I kid you not…this is the theme to the commercial.
Oh, Ellen…
Ferry fun
Happy Pride!
The world’s shortest IDE cable…

The world’s shortest IDE cable…
Parting out an old server…remember when IDE and ISA cards ruled the
day?!
What a ride…
Going to the Portland office. Only 25 people on my Horizon CRJ-700 -
one of the last they have. Anyways the takeoff was awesome…we
rotated just prior to the 3000 foot marker, were a couple hundred feet
in the air by the N satellite and flaps retracted and power reduced as
we crossed the south field boundary… What a rush!
My aviation friends will certainly understand and appreciate!
Pictures never seem to do it justice

First nice spring sunset, sipping wine on the roof deck
This fruit is drier than Arizona
Birthday via Tacoma!
Had a nice day at the Washington State Museum and the Tacoma Glass
Museum and just general farting around Tacoma. We returned to the
Hotel Murano to have dinner…and let me tell you. Wow. Had this
incredible, indelible filet of beef topped with gorgonzola with prune
gastric and mashed potatos and spinach…unbelievable! Highly
recommended!
Thanks Washington State History Museum!
Happy Hour Friday
Oh, pardon me…
Sorry, didn’t know you had claimed the box…guess I’ll not move it
then after your much protesting my initial attempt.
The cats bless the new sofa
Goodbye old friend…
Today the red couch, which has been in every home I have ever made,
passed down by the parents, will be transported to the big landfill in
the sky. No longer comfortable with springs bursting out the
backside, A sexy new loveseat recliner is taking it’s place. Age
discrimination for sure.
I will miss it. Hell, it’s almost like a sibling it’s been around
so long. I really have quite mixed feelings about it. But the time
must come for all things…
Peace and sleep well, dear red couch.
Weird things in packages
Mystery candy in new, un-opened package of server rack screws. How on
Earth did that happen? The screw factory doubles as a candy store?!
Ana, the hostess with mostness
Luau
We’re getting quiche!
I guess we must be incredibly entertaining house guests to deserve
this…xoxo Ana!
Sunday Bloody Mary Sunday
Blowhole
Coffee
South!
Black sand, wind and turtles
At a black sand beach…see if you can spot the turtle! It is W I N D
Y ! The sand it pelting us in the face…
Volcano!
Flying Hawaii
Kona to Hilo via Kohala coast, Upolu point, Hamakua coast and back via
Waimea. Cessna 182 N5692P 2.2 hours of time logged. Simply awesome.
Good morning!
Here’s the view from our condo in Kona town. Didn’t realize the
powerlines were there… Funny what your mind filters out. The
flowering trees below I believe are Gardenia trees. Whatever they are
they smell awesome!
Aloha!
Kona or bust!
A toast for good toast!
I had a toaster. I hated it. Despised it.
No more!
Look at my new toaster OVEN! I’m more excited about it than I
probably should be, but hey – it’s the little things in life, right?
I already know it makes great chicken nuggets
Cleaning; Cats…again!
Meet Junior…
He’s there on the right next to his brothers of various ages – isn’t
he cute?
I had wanted a smaller device to use while traveling and while
watching TV (it’s fab to lookup stuff/stars/stats while watching!)
I had high hopes for the Apple iPad but the first version that came
out a few weeks ago just didn’t meet my needs or expectations (no
flash player Apple? Come on now…that’s just dumb no matter what)
So I finally got a "netbook" – and it’s pretty neat. One inch thick
and about 2.5 pounds. 10 inch screen running Windows 7. Intel Atom
N450 processor (the very newest Atom processor) and 2 gigs memory.
Keyboard is more useable than it looks. It’s a sweet little dealie
and performs great.
Oh, and here’s the fun part… It’s a Gateway. Yep, remember them
cows? I was going for the highest rated and reviewed HP netbook but
found this little gem that just came out while researching for the
others. The specs beat the others and price was right so I got it.
Hopefully this little guy will continue to perform.
YAY – new toys!
Cat commas?
Or synchronized sleeping?
Feline open parenthesis?
Two cat posts in a row, I know, but they’re just so damned cute…
The poor things…
Blackout!
Power is out on Capitol Hill…kinda fun for a change…
took a shower real quick before the hot water became cold water. shopping at Safeway is fun – very dark and manual checkout.
hope it doesn’t last into the night!
NY Times quotes me!
Read to the end…the reporter chose to quote me! April and Steve (also quoted) are good friends of mine as well (fellow airplane geeks)
Fudge FAIL
I swear I followed the instructions to a "t" — here’s hoping attempt
#2 will turn out better
