What is up? 2007-09-27 13:56:00 Not much here. I just took care of the yard. We have a small chance of rain today and i will be at work all weekend long so i will not get a chance to do it then. We can use the rain here, it is very dry and we have not received any substantial rain in over a month. The lake is getting very low again. I am sore from working out this week. I got in over 15 miles this weekend on the bike and i was able to work out yesterday at the gym. I might go tonight as i will not make it back until Monday. Well, i need to finish stuff around the house.Laters for now...P.S. If you like good Progressive Trance, check out this track by Paul Van Dyk Feat. Wayne Jacks - The Other Side [Original Mix] I do not know how this one got past me as it TOTALY ROCKS OUT!! The male vocals are very good and a nice change from all fo the female vocals that most prog trance has in them. It kind of remindes me of Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald with the guitar and chord progressions; perh ...

Sun Behind a Cloud... 2007-09-24 23:10:00 This was also taken on September 16, 2007 in the same field as the two previous pictures in the last post. I thought that it was neat how the sun was behind the clouds but it was so bright that it nearly washed out the clouds. What is your opinion?Blogroll Me!Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ...

Virga... 2007-09-24 22:59:00 vir·ga (vûr'ge) n. Wisps of precipitation streaming from a cloud but evaporating before reaching the ground.[Latin, twig, virga.]I took this on September 16, 2007 in a vacant field in Sandston Viriginia. The field is located off of Technology Blvd. I was going to work on that night and I have taken other pics from that field. I saw this cloud and thought that it would make a nice shot. I hope that everyone likes it...What is your opinion?Blogroll Me! Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ...

Vista Downgrades... 2007-09-24 21:43:00 The XP alternative for Vista PCsMicrosoft is quietly telling PC makers they can offer a Windows XP "downgrade" to customers buying systems preloaded with Vista.By Ina FriedThe program applies only to Windows Vista Business and Ultimate versions, and it is up to PC makers to decide how, if at all, they want to make XP available. Fujitsu has been among the most aggressive, starting last month to include an XP disc in the box with its laptops and tablets."That's going to help out small- and medium-size businesses," Fujitsu marketing manager Brandon Farris told CNET News.com.Hewlett-Packard also started a program in August for many of its business models. "For business desktops, workstations and select business notebooks and tablet PCs, customers can configure their systems to include the XP Pro restore disc for little or no charge," HP spokeswoman Tiffany Smith said in an e-mail. She said it was too soon to gauge how high customer interest has been. "Since we've only been offering (it) ...

Shiny Floors... 2007-09-24 21:30:00 I understand the necessity of keeping the floors clean and shiny, but putting out warning signs to tell everyone that they are slippery? Why do they have to be so slippery? I understand the ascetics of the clean, fresh appearance for the "Clean Room" effect. In our plant, we have over 2000+ people that work here and lots of them go up the stairs to the Fab area. We have three flights of stairs with about 20 steps in them. They have placed signs out saying to hold onto the rails as they might be slippery. That is CRAZY!! Making the stairs that slippery is just a lawsuit in the making. With as many people that go up and down them, one would think that they would want to keep them clean with enough friction so that people can walk them without the chance of falling. Now, back to your regularly scheduled program…-- RMSTringer+++++++++++++++ Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ...

Buttermilk Trail System... 2007-09-24 14:52:00 Mark and I got in a 7.8 mile ride on the trail system yesterday evening. It was a good ride and i liked the trails better then i had before. I will hope to be able to ride them again soon as they are very challenging and the hardest trails that i have ever ridden on. They are 4 sections and some are harder than others. The first time i rode them i hated them, but my skills have improved more and i was able to ride them better.What is your opinion?Blogroll Me!Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ...

The cosmic perspective 2007-09-23 20:54:00 You know what is very cool?  Mr. Tyson replied to my email that I sent to him on Thursday night.  With respect to Mr. Tyson, I left his email out. Here is the email that he responded to about.  It, to me, speaks volumes about his character.  In the grand scheme of things, I am no one, just a person that aspires to be a blogger and to get my name out.  My. Tyson  is a world renound PhD in Astrophysics that goes on the lecture circuit and helps humankind.  For him to respond to me is just amazing in my book and it is the highest praise that I could receive.  He could have been like take down the story that you published of mine, but instead, he thanked me for it.  I emailed him to be courteous to let him know that I used his story with the thought that I would not get a response from him. I did and that speaks volumes to me…         From: neiltyson] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 6:53 AM To: Robert S ...
