On our way...

My family and I are on the way towards another adventure! I am pretty excited as usual. We are headed up to provo and then the tetons, and back to provo then back to vegas. This is going to be pretty nice. I have found several places to shoot that I haven't before and a few that I have. I am excited.

We are also canning some food and That gets the chills going up the spine as well! PEaches, Soup Mix, Beans and some other tomato products hopefully.

Anyway, work is almost done for the day and month! I have just a few more things to mix, cool and let sit for a few weeks!

Okay that is all for now, but I will be on in provo!

Fwd: Bike and Sore Knees

I have discovered that I have really sore knees lately! I am pretty sure it is from riding a bike that just doesn't fit me. It is so aggravating. Mentally and now physically. My wife tells me to just go and get a new one. I don't want to spend the money. Well I guess if buying a bike keeps me from buying a new car it is really worth it to buy a nice bike to commute on.

I still haven't talked myself into it. I think it is mostly that I don't want to spend my money on something like that just yet. Funny that I will drop cash in a flash on some things like camera gear or almost anything my wife will let me buy her. I am glad that I have restraint in some places at least. That is nice. Now I just need to not focus on the places that I have no restraint, ignore them and only think about the places I don't want to spend money. Then I will  keep money in my account for a while longer at least!

Okay, I am heading home. Tonight I am going to the temple with my wife. I am pretty excited about this. I love going with her. Lately we have had a plethora of people tending for us and it has been nice to be able to get out with my wife and do stuff with just her. The kids are great but they have us all the time!

Anyway, I am out. Hopefully the knees will make it a while longer...

More Work!

Today I found out about the new job posting that my boss created for me. I hope that it works out well. I mean I hope that I get it, and can support my family. That is the plan, but I guess we will see if things go according to my plan and that of my boss's. It would sure be nice, and make things really convienent in supporting my family. That is my main goal. I can't imagine my family not having what they need. Well I honestly can, and don't really want to do that.

The job is basically the same position I have currently, and would be a raise of 8 dollars an hour. That will be really nice. That will make paying off debt especially easier. That is a big thing my wife and I are trying to do currently. We will see if we can meet our goal of being out of debt by December of 2011. That is a while away, but we have a pretty be pile.

Now I am headed off to try and fix a machine for my old professor at the DRI. That seems to be going okay at the time being, but you never know what trials you will face when your dealing with the unknown.

Valley of Fire

Tonight I am going out for some night photography at the Valley of Fire State park near Vegas. I have wanted to head out for some time, so I am going tonight. My wife is pretty loving. Really romantic of me on a friday night. Sorry honey, but this can at best happen once or twice a month...

Anyway, I have quite a few shots I am hoping to get. We will see how things work out.

I made a little story board so that I can have an easy visual reminder of what I would like to shoot. We will see how the vegas lights affect things!

Websites...

So I think I am a website-aholic. Perhaps even more descriptive would be the fact that I am a project-aholic. This may be worse. I think of a decent idea and then think how awesome it could be, glossing over any serious work that would be involved and then jump in. Sadly I usually jump out before the real work hits.

Well I have been thinking that I pretty regularly spout off about information I have built into my little brain and I rarely actually am doing some of this stuff my self.

Case in point. I was giving advice to my brother on how he could perhaps get his little business started. He is very good at ceramics works. Well I was spouting off and thinking to myself this is really a good set of ideas to be busting out. To bad I don't really do the same type of things he does because I could make myself rich! or a little better off! Well anyway, after I hung up the phone with him I kind of kicked myself and said hey loser, that actually would fit beautifully with your work.

So I decided to go out a do it myself. So in the next few days I am going to follow my own advice and out the process I was preaching. We will see how well it works out. I am actually getting chills thinking about how neat it could really be!

Well I am off to start it happening. I will let you know what I find out from actually doing the work at hand...
