Sunny Rainpartly cloudycloudyOvercast, then a bit partly cloudy, by noon it was raining a little but the sun popped out now and again.

Work was a bit productive, fixed a bug that came back since they tested with a newer different device, Psion, than I fixed the bug for. It was about the specific device so what do they expect? Meeting today, oh joy.

Didn’t get out on the trail due to the rain until afternoon, after 2pm to be exact. I only saw a few mushrooms, a few toads, and a blue jumping spider. Used the 36mm extension some of the time, figured I would just look at things close-up since I have my shitty contacts in and I really can’t see anything closer than about 4 feet. The misquitos were ferocious today, lots of bites on my head, hands. They were buzzing around my eyes, damn. It was also still very wet out there and the cuffs of my pants were soaked.

Headed out after work to the John’s Creek special Beer Cask. On the way there it began to darken and the rain POURED out of the clouds, the slowed, I stopped in at Pops and picked up a couple of beers for Brian and then another two New Holland’s for my self. I saw Meg and Tommy there, wow she is cute, they were looking for some beers and a couple of root-beers. When I arrived @ the Mac I first had the Duck Rabbit Rabid Duck, Stout, and a couple of chicken tacos to line my stomach. The Cask was a Sweetwater Exodus Porter with Chicory, Cocoa Nibs and Vanilla. The manager, Scott poured all the beers from the first to the last. They started pouring just a bit before 6pm, after a very messy spray while taping in the spout. Katie, Daniel, and Meg were working the bar. All the folks I’ve almost ever seen there were in attendance. Even the adorable Chantel and Alyssa were there. Alyssa (now a manager @ MallofGA) looked fantastic in a very bright striped sundress that showed off her attributes quite nicely.

Went on home after opening another T-Mac Brewniversity card @ John’s Creek. First beer on it was the John’s Creek Cask of Exodus Porter. Came home and took out the trash along with chatting with Brian and Nicki for awhile before watching the movie, Jack the Giant Slayer that Brian picked up for me, need to get him the $90 plus the $11 for the DVD.

Nicki asked me about her car insurance again, I’m going to have to tell her it’s over and she will have to take care of it from now on. She is driving all over to help Jorael and it’s not my intention to help finance his life as well as hers.

heavy rainpartly cloudycloudyCloudy this morning and a bit cool. The sun popped out about 10 until abound 2 or 3, off and on. Then the bottom fell out of the sky and it was pouring out right when I was leaving work. Got soaked getting to the car.

Work was OK but I got almost nothing done. Gregg wanted me to complete some security stuff for SAP, just video/computer training that needed to be finished, took most of the morning to do that. I then started updating my install on my main machine with SP4 but failed like usual. I haven’t been able to get the UI to work on my main system.

Drove home in the pouring rain, but by the time I stopped in at the Shroom for dinner it was mostly dry but still overcast and looking like rain. Michelle was there, since the beginning of the week Lauryn is over in the pan-handle of Florida for a vacation. Not much else there, wishing I would see the nice gal whom I met before mom’s day.

Went home and chatted a bit with Nicki and watched a bit of TV, just the end of a movie. I then went upstairs and started to work on my TriggerTrap again, finished up with the resistors and then the diode, stopped at the light/ir detectors mostly due to not being completely sure the orientation of the devices.

My daughter’s cat, Krash, is becoming a real pain in the ass. Half the time he thinks he is a dog and puts things in his mouth and drags them around the house. He is also getting really good at chewing things up. He climbs all over my table in the office and knocks things down and then either moves them or knocks them all over the place. In addition he loves to tear apart and shred the rolls of toilet paper either on the roll or off of the shelf.

thunderstormcloudymostly sunnySunny in the AM but I wasn’t up very early for it. Had such a night last night and didn’t get back to the house until very early and didn’t really get out of bed until almost 11. Sunny and some clouds all day, rained after bed.

Mom's Garden

Got up and went out to the Kroger and finally picked up the stuff I’ve had on a list for some time now. I chatted with Nicki and bit after that, getting my “Happy Father’s Day” and then talked with my Dad on the phone for awhile. Shawn and Gail are having another cook-out like we did for mom on mom’s day, complete with ribs. Hope they are better than the one’s I cooked. :)

Talked to my dad about visiting the cousins up in Illinois. They are heading up to Rossville, IL and then later maybe up to MI sometime at the end of August. Deanne and Richard invited Brian and I and I know I’d like to go. Mom and Dad don’t want to all drive together since they are free to head off where they want and they know we will be needing to get back to the ATL before too long. I figure I’ll be going by myself which is cool. I figure I’ll do the weekend and then maybe either the end of the week or the beginning.

Nicki went off and I then headed out to the Hooters for a late lunch, had the fish tacos and a 420 that I didn’t even finish. Yes, it was that kind of night last night. Beth was working the bar and the crew that is normally sitting at the bar was there too. Rick, the photog with the Corvette was there, Bruce arived a bit later and then the Lawyer guy, I totally forget his name. Saw lots of dads there with their families, not mine though.

I came home and hit the bed for a small nap and Nicki came home with a card and a very nice olive oil bottle that I’ve been needing for some time as a gift, thanks Nicki!

Sat around the watched some TV, and played on the iPad.

mostly sunnySun out all morning altought I didn’t see any of it, it was mostly sunny and then hot, but the time I went to lunch it was over 80 Nix shine up to 90 later.

I w up and started some laundry before Brian and I went out for lunch. The gang there was cool, Rebecca, rein and michelle. Not much business unit we left.

Came back to the house and did the watering and some more laundry, finished the towels and whites then. Did the watering of all the p lasts, chatted with Brian some.

Went out to taco Mac, when I got there I found that there was some sort of falcons things her for football, falcons carnival thing that started at noon. I couldn’t even find a place to park my car in the area so I parked in the lot by Ashely furniture. I then had a nice long drinkfest at the Mac, met a couple of dudes that were there for tht falcons thing that lived in the midtown area, their key Mac was the metropolis. There went to the suwanee Mac after they left. Then Dan and Cathy came in and we talked a bunch about their trip to switcheland and movies and books, seems that Cathy didn’t know I read (listened) to a lot of books and she will be sending me some things to look at. They also have some movies I may like to look up, one being Kalifornia with Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt.

Like an idiot I went over to the Parma and thought I was going to only have dinner and go home it was 10 and I had had pizza talked to Myia and Britnnany, had my pizza, Katrina and the gang, Daniel and little mike showed up. Also Aimee, the cute as hell blonde with the thin figure sat with us at the bar and had a couple Fat Tires and talked about her two kids, boys 4 and 6 and her ex who she is still in the process of divorcing.

Met a cute petite gal named Meegan with long E, very nice with long dark hair small but nice breasts, very nice. Chatted with her and she worked for the contact lenses company in johns creek, as an engineer. I wonder if that is the place that ChrisW works or if she still works there, I know she was at a dental place but I thought she moved to the contact place. She closed her tab and then sat on the other side of Daniel and chatted with him for awhile, we had a shot of grand mariner. She split some time after that and then Brittany sat down and had a beer with Daniel before we all got out of there, I just passed out in the car. Not pretty but I didn’t drive home.

sunnySunny and warm, the top down on the car while driving into work. Cooler up until noon and then it got a bit warmer.

Went out on the Greenway a little earlier today, got out there about 9am or so and stayed out until about 10am, it wasn’t all that bad, still cooler most of the time. It did begin to get a bit warm by the time I got in, sun was out and the breeze had calmed. First off I saw a couple of deer, one just sat there while I took several photos, two cops on bicycles drove by and stopped waiting until I had gotten my shots, one a gal and the other a dude. I saw them come back down as I was in the woods. went through an area I hadn’t been before, jumped over a small creek and ended up slipping since it was a bit muddy. Got my pants quite muddy on my right knee and I was going to Midtown tonight. I also jammed my second toe quite horribly, I may just loose the nail as it is turning a light purple and is very sore.

I then finished the next patch, had to do a lot of backing out of stuff from the now gone HF10.

I realized t hat photoshop Lightroom released earlier this week, on Monday, version 5, also found that the Lightroom plugin guy, fried found a rather hairy bug in the published grid view, where it edits the wrong file. Updated my MacBook and then had to get out of dodge and go to the Marta.

It was hot when we got off the Marta train at arts center, there was also a very hot lady coming off the train along with us, she was wearing a very tight black dress with spaghetti straps, a very voluptuous figure and some cleavage that makes you want to dive in.

sunny and hot again, 90+; work, build troubles; botm, nice chat with daughter, big storm and odd light @ sunset

heavy rainmostly sunnysun out early Butthead breezeway nice all day. I went out about 10:30 and it wasn’t so bad, it was in the 90s by noon though.

I had a bit of trouble with the build, the same guy who broke it last time did again. He hadn’t checked in a second file or not a third file.

Out on the trail at about 10:30 and it got really HOT really quick. I only took a few photos and then I went over to the Panera Bread and picked up a sandwich for lunch.

Went over to the Johns Creek T-Mac for BOTM today, got a second regular pint glass since they only have two glasses this month. The next week is the same but after that it’s the wheat, small pint. Meg was wearing her little shorts that show a bit more of the ship tattoo on her left thigh and hip. Brian, the fitbit guy was there, then Peter the hippy dude came in later. Chatted with Scott the manager (larger bald guy, really nice) about the reschedule of the John’s Creek cask. Alyssa stopped in and said hello, she has moved to the Mall of GA store and I hope to see her sometime this weekend, she is looking great and was trying to gather some of her old buddies from JC to go out.

Went home and chatted with Nicki some. She hasn’t mentioned Father’s Day so I am not sure if I should or not. I really don’t mind hanging out with her but I’m not sure about Jorael too. Maybe I’ll set up a BBQ for Sunday, I should I know but I really don’t think it’s a big deal, just a Hallmark Holiday IMO. I will need to phone my dad, good enough for me to get a Happy Father’s Day.

It began to get REALLY dark out about 7pm and by 8pm it was raining heavily. Nicki said they were predicting hail and very strong winds, so did the Mgr @ the Mac, Scott. It did rain quite hard for sometime but they by about 8:30 it had stopped and although a funny yellow it was brighter than it was earlier. The DirecTV also went out for a short time.

I had been thinking bout giving Katrina a call and seeing if she was up to doing something, but instead I just hung out in my room, messing with the new version of PhotoSmith on the iPad and watching BSG on the DVD. I figured out that the program isn’t really broken as I had thought, they just do a HORRIBLE job telling you what to do in order to get it to sync the files. You must do it from Lightroom but it doesn’t (or mine just didn’t) create the Collection for “All Photos” like it will for all the other Collections you create on the iPad.

sunny and hot, 90′s; patch @ work; no trail; no special cask this week; trivia a bust, feelings;

mostly sunnysunny most of the day, a few clouds roamed the sky and I didn’t get out much besides sitting for awhile with my phone.

I did finish one patch and most of another,

PhotoSmith version 3 just came out today, I realized it about 2pm and by 2:05 I had it installed and it was migrating my files into it’s internal DB. It took over 30 minutes to do that with the 300+ files I had in PhotoSmith today. I needed to remove some older ones but didn’t think of it. Downloaded the new PS Lightroom plug in and then just waited for the photo database to migrate.

Tried to have the Cask from Johns Creek but the re-scheduled the cask to next week on Tuesday. I instead just left and went on home. The two Mikes were there and I sat and chatted for a few short moments. They and another dude I’ve seen before let me know that Alyssa is now working at the Mall of Georgia or at the Alpharetta Store now. The Mike’s do not like the MallOfGA store at all, I realize that the folks there can be a bit uppity.

I wasn’t sure about what to do if I saw Katrina from Saturday, she was there tried to be cool and hope I wasn’t just rude. I did chat with her a bit and was a bit unclear if she was the same gal, thought she was a bit younger than I think she is. Need to find out what the story is or could be with “us”, is she in a relationship or not and just WHAT is the score now. We talked several times and eyed each other several more. I somehow called three people last night @ 9:27pm, My daughter, Autumn, and then Katrina, even pulling out my phone and realizing I was trying to face whatever her. She works somewhere @ 10am every morning, acted like it was 7 days a week. She said something about walking the property, whatever that meant.

John, the manager thanked me for coming back and paying the tab, yeah, I’m glad I didn’t forget that. I should have went straight home after that too.

We were bust this week, Bill thinks it may be due to the team NEVER listening to him when he has the right answer. Said someone was laughing at him. He was pouting outside by the end of the evening, I don’t think he likes to be ignored much. Chatted with him for a bit and he will more than likely be his own team next week. I guess it’s truly not just the fun for him, he must WIN. Some people are just like that.

Had a beer more than I should have, I think due to the oddness of the Katrina thing, it also was really HOT in the Parma. Brittany & Lindsey were even complaining a bit. Gave them both a HUGE tip today and that may be why Brit came from behind the bar and gave me a HUG, or it was about me asking about Katrina and if I was a pain in the butt on Saturday.

cloudyhazyHazy and overcast most of the day, afternoon it got HOT and the sun began to peek out now and again.

Going through a bunch of merges and the backports on SP2 to get things in sync after the crap that was UDID.

I was having trouble logging into my WordPress yesterday and found out today that it was due to the login.php being disabled for some reason. It had been renamed to login.php-disabled, odd.
Viper II
I went on a small walk with the camera, only took a few shots of some mushrooms and then a beetle of some kind. Back in to work quickly since it was so DAM hot.

Went to the Movie Stop and picked up the movie this week, Hansel and Gredel, found out the woman who plays Gredel has the same birth day as I do, Feb 2.

I got my little package from Amazon.com, some CR123A batteries for my NIKON macro flashes and the cute little keychain BSG Viper II pictured above.

Brian and I watched it then and drank a beer, he had two I only one.

Found out a buddy who I used to work with has Colon Cancer, BReed, BrianR will be having surgery on Thursday and they will be taking out about 18 inches of his large intestine. I hope all goes well, he had a CAT scan that didn’t show that the cancer had spread anywhere else so the prognosis looks great. My thoughts are with him.
