From hotel in Vancouver

Took a quick video with my flip from my hotel room in Vancouver last week.  Good view of the mountains.

Vancouver Week Three

I’m beginning the third week in Vancouver.  It has been fun but I am ready to get home and relax.  Only one week though, I’m booked for the first two weeks of May in Vancouver again.
Last weekend I traveled to Seattle to visit with Jeremy, Kate, and Laura.  From there we went to Seaside, Oregon [...]

Long day

I was contacted Friday to be at our Atlanta office on Monday for a week long class.  It was up to me and I chose to make the change to my flights so that I could be there.   I missed my flight on Sunday and was not able to make it to the Monday class.  [...]

Planes come within 400ft of eachother

This happened to a flight I was on once.  While they didn’t disclose to us just how close we were to the other plane, it was enough for the pilot to shoot us upward several thousand feet in just a few seconds.  We were approaching for landing and all of a sudden the throttle was [...]

The Gopher

Here are some quick snaps from my trip to Vancouver.  What can I say, I was there on business and taking real, good, pictures was not that easy.
The SmartCar.  Smallest four wheeled car I’ve seen.  Apparently they are showing up in Seattle too?
 
The customer I am working with has a mascot for each project.  Mr. [...]

First trip out of the USA

I have traveled on business more than 50% of the year for about the last 5-6 years now.  None of those trips took me out of the USA.  Finally, I made it a few hundred miles over the border (if that much) to Vancouver, Canada.
Here are some snaps of the harbor outside my hotel room.

Yes, [...]

Finally, A Marriott in Huntington!

I hope they make a deal on this.  Kinetic Park in Huntington may get a Marriott TownePlace Suites.  When I am on the road, and including next week, I stay at a Marriott brand hotel every chance that I can get.  With one in Huntington, I can trade in points for stays when family and [...]

My eyes are bugging

I got a new HP 24″ display yesterday.  While it was not cheap, it was cheaper than others in this size range.  It has great color and resolution, good value.  I am often writing/drawing while referencing two or more other documents.  Yes, I could continue to flip between windows (Alt+TAB), but I don’t wanna.  [...]

My first ball cap in over 10 years

Not counting the hats I wore in the military, this is my first ball cap in 10 years.  It is just too much of a hassle to shop for and find a cap that will fit my big gord!!!  Size isn’t the only reason.  I’m not a fan of wearing ads, displaying large symbols, etc. [...]

Snow comes pouring down in Ohio

I didn’t account for having to clear off the car this morning when I was getting ready to go to the customer site.  So, I was a few minutes late.
