Late Night Dog Park Fun

Late Night Dog Park Fun

Working late, eating late and going to the dog park late.  That seems to be the trend lately.  The one plus is that we usually have the park to ourselves.  The negative aspect of it is that Mooch and Callie’s buddies have already been there and they have to find their own fun or I run around with them.  Callie loves to chase me or other dogs.   This past visit was another night where we were all alone and it…

Been meaning to do this for a while now

Been meaning to do this for a while now

Well, I’m downloading my archived info from FaceBook and deleting my account. While FB is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends I struggle with the ability to not comment on posts with which I disagree.  This has caused trouble for me, my family and some of my friends.  Since I cannot seem to keep my mouth shut (i.e. fingers from typing) I feel this is the best solution. Well, let’s see how long this lasts….

Pot Luck Goodness

Pot Luck Goodness

Today our department had a potluck lunch.  Typically potluck meals are not my favorite places to eat, but this lunch may have changed my mind.  There were many vegetarian dishes made and all of those were extremely delicious.  I appreciate my coworkers and their healthy meal choices.

Fun Tuesday

Fun Tuesday

Tuesday morning I woke up in quite a bit of pain after hurting my ribs on Saturday.  I had had broken ribs before so I knew the feeling, but this was a level above that.  Off to urgent care I drove…  After my examination the Doctor there told me to go immediately to the emergency room, which I did.   He thought I had a ruptured spleen based on my pain level and how swollen my abdomen was.  Well, so…

Riding, playing and picnic

Riding, playing and picnic

This past weekend was great!  I went for a motorcycle ride with friends up to Bartlett Lake after a stop in Cave Creek for some breakfast.  Here is a photo of our stop at the lake. When I arrived home Callie and I were playing around the house and having a great time until I tripped over her and fell onto the coffee table in my front room.  The table is fine, but I ended up with a few broken ribs….

KleinPad! moving to WordPress

KleinPad! moving to WordPress

I’ve used WP for quite a few other sites and after getting tired of using iWeb and manually managing the process for a few years now I have decided to utilize WP for the KleinPad!  Migrating my blog info from 1997 was a pain in butt because none of the automated tools worked. Well, we’ll see how it goes!

Prius Stats – Love this car

Prius Stats – Love this car

At 86,000 miles I have used about 1,791 gallons of gasoline with my Prius. Compared to 4,095 I would have used with my old Subaru Legacy or Audi A4. That is a savings of 2,304 gallons of gasoline or about $6,912 in fuel savings at $3.00 per gallon (Prius also takes regular and my others took premium). Plus, the Prius was less expensive to purchase and maintain.  Yes, I do think it was a good investment and at 86,000 miles…

Where has the time gone

Where has the time gone

This year has gone by so far so fast.  I’m now on vacation in Rapid City, South Dakota visiting family, friends and checking out my old home town.   The vacation started out with an all school reunion at my old high school, Saint Martin’s Academy.  The local catholic diocese recently purchased the school from the Benedictine Nuns who ran it for many, many years and have converted the high school into the new grade school, added a new retreat…
