Rochester

I took a trip to ROC last week. It was nice. I ate really bad food, had 1 or 2 beers, watch brainless movies and visited coworkers at the Roc office.

I did miss celebrating Electra's and my birthdays with the Family but I made it up to E on Monday.

We went shooting at a local range. She said she wanted to do this every birthday.

Later!

The Challenge 2012

Its 2012 and I decided to do a challenge.

The goal is to bike 4500 miles in 2012. That means I need to average 375 miles a month. In January I completed a little over 200 miles. Day 5 of February and I have completed 53 miles. With my travel this month I will be challenged to meet the goal.

Starting in March I will train for a century ride. More to come.

2012 - February

Long time no post.

I want to get out of the complaining mode and into the, wow this was good mode. New year, new outlook, same me!

I've lost over 50# in 6 months. I had some help from multiple programs, Myfitnesspal, Mind&Body, Nutrisystem, and the many people that have pushed me to keep trying. I thank you all.

I have ridden on average 16 miles every other night accourding to the recumbent exerciser. Woot, (Knock on fiber material) no pain to speak of. I am supplementing with a dose of protein within 30 minutes of exercise.

This is a busy month for me. Trip to Rochester, NY next week, a trip to Dallas, Tx 2 weeks after, followed by a trip to Co 1-2 weeks after that. Diana might think I'm working for the Ma-Bell again.

School is going well, only 2 more years left. Work is good, just work. ;-). Kids are spoiled rotten.

Find something that makes you happy!

Well $4it

Not the words I wanted to hear on 11-10-2010, after moving and while trying to sell a house almost 1200 miles away.

"Mr. Sharpe, I calling you because your neighbor noticed an unusally high electric bill. Mr Sharpe the water pump is going out."

Shit will I ever get a break.

Yea, this sucks.

I worked on my last post for about an 30 minutes only to lose it all somehow. This week is sucking big time. I redo the last post later.

Notes:

Business

Flood

Washington DC/Voip

Basement floods again. Typical Sharpe bad luck.

Sorry been a long time and forgot what everything was about.

Let me try to fill in blanks.

Business - I want my own. Did the one I looked at flood in the great Nashville 5-2 flood?

Flood - Funny how Nashville got 5 mins for this most destructive flood in it's history. OK so an oil well is still dumping oil into the ocean, that is important too. But please, only 5 minutes.

Washington DC/Voip - Last minute decision to take a trip to WDC for a conference.

Basement floods again - Daughter went to wash pants needed for trip, comes running upstairs to tell me the basement is flooded. Sump pump died. Because we have power outages all the time the backup alarm was turned off. Backup pump died.

Later.

April, now May.

Does this mean that the Amish and Mennonites will get subsidized insurance even though they don't participate in our economy? Probably not.

"The Amish believe that the Bible instructs them to care for church members who have special needs, including the elderly."

Some news articles say that Muslims, Amish, Mennonites, Sciencetologist and others may be exempt. Although young children not officially members of the church may have to join the program. How hard is it to get out after you get in?

School house bill Parody

That is what I found interesting today.
