A good Friday morning to you all!
 

Morning folks,

Hot as hell here today, I'm sweating like a horse here behind my desk. Time to get out the fan.
Nothing special on the agenda today. I'm already looking forward to my weekly Friday night beers this evening :)

Have a nice day all!

Good morning world |waves|

Hot here too, Fonz. At least it was when I let the cats out a little while ago. Inside it's nice and cool, and I don't plan on getting out in the heat much today if I can avoid it.

Wishing everyone a Friday good enough to make you take the weekend off.

:)

Have a great day everyone. |waves|

Good Morning,

Got up way to early but I feel good.|thumb Not 100% yet but much better than the last few days. I now tomorrow will be even better!
I see a nap coming up very soon and then some work. My to do list is getting longer and longer since I've been sick, laying in bed all I could do is think of new stuff I have to do and the time I need to do it. I need like 48 hr days and I don't think I would catch up for a while.

There is rain predicted for this weekend, and I have to go up north for a birthday party this Sunday. (Happy Jack just north of Payson; Pat knows where that is) It is supposed to be a beautiful drive. I sure hope the weather stays nice.

Have a wonderful day full of money making opportunities!

hm. it's soooo gonna storm today... dark skies, feels like late evening tho it's middle of the day... brrrrrr

Good Morning Everyone!

More showers and funky weather expected today and all weekend long.

Looks like the chance to cut the grass is right now so Im gonna get out there and get that done while I can.

Have a great day!

I'm going to make it out of the house today even if I have to go aimlessly wandering naked through the streets.

Didn't have a car for two days due to a dead battery and then yesterday I was rather hung over then I got an IM letting me know about an iPhone plugin for Movable Type. It was an easy drag and drop install but then I discovered that my Movable Type install was too old so ended up spending all of yesterday in script upgrade hell. All I can say about the new version of Movable Type is wow it is fucking fantastic... at least after banging my head for hours migrating over to new templates and learning how to use the new software. I'll probably be wasting even more time tweaking the new template over the next few weeks and discovering even more features of the new software.

My plans were to finally make it to the gym this morning but I got a call late last night asking me to go to the beach this morning but it is looking like rain so I'm thinking gym it is.

Good Morning Everyone |waves|

Good Morning.

Lots of work again today and some errands to run before heading out tomorrow afternoon for another vacation.

Mornin All
Tech Angel enjoy the mountains

Coffee's On

Just had the driveway paved this morning - they did a fantastic job and all under 15 minutes! Amazing what 4 guys and a paving truck can do!

Got a lot of errands to do today for the upcoming wedding.

Morning...|yawn|
I seem to be having every other day, a productive day.

I just realized that we are leaving on Monday for 3.5 weeks and I've done very little to prep for the trip. The tickets arrived yesterday which I think brought on this realization.

I have an overnight on the 30th in NOLA..if anyone is interested...8pm-7am.. we'll be hanging in the Big Easy.. sweating..

anyway.. have a |waves| good TGIF.. and try to make piles of money.. |thumb

Good morning folks!

Good morning. No rain today but hey, it's early! Have a great day.

Good Morning All :)

Mornin' y'all,

|coffee is on, help yourself...

Good morning all.

Getting woken up by the boss of a group of men ready to work on the driveway caught me unawares this morning and when I went out to move the car, I was still half asleep and promptly jumped in the passenger seat rather than the drivers seat |banghead|
Coming from the UK, getting into that side of the car was the natural thing to do but boy, did I feel stupid when I realised what I had done and you can imagine the laugh they had when I had to get out of the car to walk around to the other side :D Hell even I had to grin despite the fact that I felt like an ass.
Oh well they did a hell of a job and for $75, the driveway does look good.

Hey Tek that drive sounds awesome. If we make Vegas for the next xbiz I may have to hire a car and do some driving myself rather than sitting in the casinos for the rest of the week.

Have a good one whatever your doing |thumb

Emerald should get one of those kiddy steering wheels for the passenger side of your car. :D

Since I am driving to Vegas, maybe we can go and explore some of the parks outside Vegas together, since I already have a car available. :)

About 4 years ago when I was in Vegas for about 10 days we went to Zion National Park for a day. If you like that sort of thing, Zion is incredible.

Zion is one of my favorite parks. Another good one close by is Red Rock Canyon .

That is really close to Vegas, it can be visited in less that a day. I went there in June (110 degrees)

Kiddy steering wheels... Good one Cleo :D

Tek that sounds good to me and Twiceshy mentioned that if she got down to the next show, she may be interested in seeing the grand canyon to. That way Emmy can gamble while we go walkabout after she called the grand canyon "a fucking big hole in the ground" :D

Cleo. Zion I have never heard of but your photos of red rock canyon look nice. I'll have to make a list of places to see for the next trip. It will be a damn site cheaper than staying in the casinos :D

Good Fucking Friday |angry|

My |loony| Dr changed around when I take my meds & I'm now supposed to take one at night, but that kept me awake & tossing & turning, so I got up & worked for 2 hours & then went back to bed. ^ hours later, I still feel exhausted |thumb

|bow| to Cleo

Good Morning :)
Lots of work on the agenda and then going out with my good lady tonight. Wishing everyone a great Friday.

Taking the tour of down inside Hover Dam is another great visit. It was built with real pride all in Art Deco style.

Another good one is Valley Of Fire, just outside Vegas, I have some pics that I will post soon. And the Grand Canyon, the first time I went my knees buckled; just unbelievable, I don't care what pictures you've seen or what you think of it, when you see it, WOW, it will blow your mind.

Good fucking again toothpain fryday|shocking| its 4:30 midday here and the sun is shining but bad weather on his way, we get hot weather the next days but with tons of rain and thunder, so its realy time to shoot the weatherman.
For a third time in a row i have to cansel the bbq which we are planning already for 3 weeks on a saturday but the bad weather will ruin it.
I also woke up last night again with a toothpain and that fucking dentist keeps saying the tooth is oke, well i am gonna pull the damn thing......toothpain is so bad|cry| still the painkillers which i use sometimes for my backpain also work for my toothpain:D
Its hubbies last working day and then he is 4 weeks at home.....i have planned to have alot of fun and sex:D
I wish you all a great day and eve and weekend|waves|

Good morning. Cold is back again here and I hate it (I miss summer!). Hope everyone has a great day!

BlueBrit:

Here is Zion

Valley of Fire (of course Emmy will rag on me for the "food" pics)

Hoover Dam (not many)

Zion is actually a nice trip.. about 9 hours via bus round trip. Grand Canyon is about 12 hours and depending on your mode of transport, can be kind of loooong.

Red Rock is about 30 minutes from the strip and quite nice in the fall/winter/spring. In the summer, it's well the desert..and boiling.

My wife said that same exact thing the other night/morning when she got home from boozing with her girlfriend. Should I be jealous?

I've literally only been awake for a few minutes. I've been staying up way too late because I have sooooo many projects which take me in soooo many directions. You know how it is. You get an idea for a site, so you begin searching for scripts and hacks, but you find a couple of other gems along the way and start researching them as well. It all snowballs until you have no idea what you originally set out to do. Joy |loony|

Spent yesterday finishing up some major coding for a project. Noticed that one application engine I want to use has had some updates -- they still haven't fixed their documentation with the submissions my nephew and I have sent in. But, its promising. I have yet to run into a showstopper bug -- just inordinate amounts of time to find the answer.

Putting the final checklist together for my other project so that I can make sure things work as they get down to the wire. When I started this, I didn't have a particular end-date in mind until someone mentioned something the other day. Now, the push is on to see if I can get things finished -- and I think its easily possible, but, I want to make sure I have everything documented so I can tackle each issue one by one.

After fighting more wordpress woes I briefly thought about forking wordpress at 2.5.1 and maintaining a security patch only port -- no new features. When I investigated their bugtracker, I realized that even their bug fixes are mixed in with feature changes making that process almost impossible. And, wordpress appears to hide security fixes in obscure bug fixes.

Didn't realize it was Friday already -- where did the week go.

Hope everyone has a profitable day.

That is exactly my problem, and I can never finish what I set originally to do. |banghead|

Morning All! I've got a guy coming over at 11:30 to build a website for a group, and he likes to chat, that will blow my entire middle of the day as far as getting work done, lol. Oh well, for a good cause.

RedRock, if they would have XBiz when it isn't middle of the summer, has some wonderful hiking trails too. I love the one where you hike back to the falls, yes an actual waterfall. :D

Also Death Valley is weirdly barren/beautiful. And the Furnace Creek Resort is a true oasis in the desert and would be a beautiful place to spend the night. But NOT the place to go in July, lol.

Might also want to check out Mount. Charleston, then stop at the lodge. A lot cooler up there in the summertime. |thumb Reminds me of the woods around Payson AZ, you turn a corner in the road and you are in a forest. It is pretty cool.

And if you like to drive fast cars on a track, our Spring Mountain Motor Sports here in Pahrump is pretty killer. |thumb

Morning!

Thanks to all the tour guides here :D I saw some great places to go visit and some beautiful pictures.

Cleo you cracked me up good with the "kiddy steering wheels" comment that gets a 10!

Glad your up and feeling better TekAngel!

Have a nice day and great weekend all |thumb

Morning everyone. Knocked out some quick work on stuff and now heading off to comic con here in San Diego. Should be a good time. My brother is in town and an old roommate is in town as well. tgif. :)

Cheers.

Here are some pictures from 2002 when we went to Zion and Valley of Fire. Also some from Sedona.

Sedona

Valley Of Fire

Zion National Park

All of the places mentioned sound great and you have some lovely photos but I won't have time to do them all in a few days. I think the best bet is to wait until the next vegas show and if were going I will ask for suggestions of places to visit depending on the time of year. I have no problem hiking but I can't see Emmy wanting to go off on some trail for hours at a time and i don't blame her in that heat.

Hey all!

Done absolutely nothing today, been so lazy! Gonna make up for it by working through the weekend!

Very nice photos Tek |thumb

Good afternoon all....
