Looks like the department in the company I work for met it's monthly quoto so we are all being taken out to a hign price Steakhouse for dinner in the near future.
Boss just came and told us to take off work a couple hours early today. Early start to the 3 day Memorial Day weekend.
 
Well, kind of kept this quiet on the forum, but Foch and I are heading off to Russia in five days. It's a college trip, we're going with one of our professors and four other students. Leaving the US on the 2nd of June and coming back on the 11th. Getting excited.
 
Let the weekend begin. Hit the grocery store for some BBQ fixin's. Tonight some soccer and then some burgers on the grill. Tomorrow pork spareribs smoked for 8+ hours.
 
what cheered me up today was puttin' up the American Flag! :salute: unfortunately, i can only keep it up for so long cos the weather here in Washington State changes a lot, and it'll rip the flag to shreds, so I'd have to take it down again :(
 
Feeling very "Green" today! Built a solar heater for my swimming pool. It's a coil of 400' of 3/4" black agricultural tubing that I will put on my Garage roof and circulate pool water through. It's suppose to bring up the pool temp 10 up deg F, and seeing that my pool always seems to be at around 68-73 F that will be welcome.

Helped my dad by moving his flower text files (he grows orchids, hostas and cacti) from his old laptop to the new one, and installing a camcorder driver on the new 'pooter too, so that he can now mess with video files from his video camera.
And I love that he asks me about a lot of things when it comes to the computer - it isn't always that I can answer him right away, but I can look up things for us on the internet, and so I learn in the process, too. That's great fun. :)
I think my dad's pretty cool - he's 83 years old, and I love his curiosity when it comes to cameras, computers and all things technical. ;) :thumbleft:

EDIT:

Met a sweet elderly gentleman in our laundry room in the basement.
We ended up chatting away while waiting for the washing machines to finish the laundry.
It turned out that he had worked for Revell in the US once upon etc., and then we started talking planes, cars and motorcycles - awesome guy! :thumbleft:
He had been on the german team, making the basic model molds for the jerry planes, and the german team competed with the brits, who build the Spitfire and other british plane model molds for the company; they had a great time while working. Cool. :D
