Waste Transfer Station

If anything ever would get you to recycle, this should be it. Our machines sliding around on the scum and muck from municiple trash.

Seattle

Some pics from Seattle. Got to spend a little more time than just at the dealership.

IDAHO

Some pictures from my whirlwind Idaho visit. Some from a dairy farm, some from a tater farm.

Denver

Missed the tour but walked around the Denver mint.

Big Iron

A damn big 988G! Just a random loader at the dealership we visited. We in the small wheel loader world call it Big Iron.

5th Anniversary Trip to Las Vegas

Our Anniversary at the Eiffle Tower Restaurant

Our evening wrapping up with dessert after dinner. Great View.

The restaurant is in the dark square part.


Our hotel from out front


Random stranger took our photo after I showed them how with their camera and took their picture. Not bad, just not completely in focus.



Our hotel as viewed from the Rio Voodoo Lounge. Nice 2 sec exposure.


Leaving Las Vegas

Fixed washer

Low speed winding on the washer went out. New motor $200, rewind the motor $300, a schematic, wire nut and crime = freebie! Who needs a delicate cycle anyway.

Landscaping 2011

Updated the landscaping around the yard this weekend. We waited for the hottest weekend of the year. Looks good though.

Patent

Achievement unlocked: patent awarded. Woo hoo!

Painted trim

Hand rail

Finally got the new hand rail installed tonight too. We still need to caulk the edge of the trim and the painters will be back to paint the walls but its so much nicer than the previous one.

New carpet

Voodoo lounge

Bob the Spleen

So long story but my supervisor had his spleen removed. He's fine and since he is we decided to make fun of him. So I sketched this one night watching a movie. Then traced the sketch heavy and traced it on a new piece of paper with ink. Then I scanned it to a digital file and colored it with photoshop. Added the text, printed it, cut it and then framed and matted it. Its on his desk now. I'm thinking my review should go pretty well this year.

New floors 2

New floors!

New floor

This is the new floor we decided on.

New addition

The latest addition to the garage.

Slow progress

Here are some pictures of the windows trimmed out and new paint in the kitchen. Still got a ways to go but I'd rather it be right than rush it.

Still a bunch of ice on my truck.

Flood

Here are some water problem pics. Got much more on the real camera. You can see where it ran out of the back if the house even.
