Fired up the new grill this evening.

No one has gotten sick yet, so I think everything turned out ok! :P

Grillin’

Since I couldn't keep this from knocking over my little weber grill, I decided to upgrade.

CJ and I were at Lowe's for other things a few days ago and we saw a nice gas/charcoal combo grill. I thought about it for a few days and decided to get one.

While we were there, we disovered it had a firebox option for offset heat for smoking.

I ended up with this . It only took us about 4 hours and a sunburn to get it together.

After spending quite some time getting the Wrangler where I want it...

It's time to get some work done on my brother's Mustangs... The 68 is close to road ready, but the 65 will take some work.

6/08 Outage

Chris — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:03:48 +0000

Apparently we had a power failure today that my UPS wasn’t quick enough to take over for.

Everything is back up and running.

One database was corrupted but we were able restore it from this morning’s backup.
Backups will be more frequent during storm season.

Ku’a: 10 Weeks

Chris — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 02:13:25 +0000

Ku’a is actually 11 weeks old this weekend, but I didn’t get a post done last week.

She’s coming along good. Come, sit, fetch, drop and give are all learned and performed on a semi-regular basis.

Crating is working as well. She won’t kennel on command but she doesn’t whine when she’s in there at all. She is also able to hold her water through the night and has few accidents during the day when she is out. Those accidents that do occur are usually when I fail to acknowledge her attention getting devices.

The next thing we are going to work on is the stay command since this is one of the most important commands and will probably be the one to save her life later.

As usual, you can see all of Ku’a's pics at her gallery.

Farmer Fred

got on Facebook recently and have become addicted to this game called Farmville…. plow the land, plant seeds, wait for it to grow and then harvest what you’ve sown…..and like any game the more ingame $$ you earn the cooler things you can acquire…I’,m working towards the villa with a vinyard

Ku’a: 8 Weeks

Chris — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:04:26 +0000

We picked up Ku'a the blue heeler (or if you want to be technical an Australian Cattle Dog) on 11/14. She's been doing well with housebreaking being able to not have accidents throughout the day but we have to keep an eye on her when she is out playing. Speaking of playing, she has gotten more mileage out of the cat toy than the kittens did. Crate training is also going well. She barely wines when we close her up after she's entered to eat. For the most part all the other animals have taken to her or, at least, put up with her presence. She did run into Rip in the backyard on the first day and was soundly pummeled by the cat for her trouble. Buddy also seems a little put out by her energy, growling and barking at her. She tends to hit the floor in a submissive posture when this happens. I think it's normal pecking order behavior by both parties. I'd forgotten how much energy pups have.

TV’s and Playstation 3

Chris — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:27:57 +0000

I have the first, but it takes up too much floor space and isn’t big enough. Oxymoron you say? I think not.

I want a 50″+ LCD to hang on the wall. Looking at Sanyo, Samsung and LG.

The second I don’t have but I think I deserve one.
