Hello. Today I bring you a collection of random thoughts and things to catch up on last month interspersed with random pictures.
Today, I read a paper from the Journal of Basic Engineering. Ah 1969, what a simple time you were.
I’m not doing the half-marathon. Plantar fasciitis has reared it’s ugly head and is stubbornly refusing to vacate my left foot. So I am fat and lazy and my left foot hurts.
Last week there was a vinegaroon wandering across the living room floor. Ugh. I should have taken a picture, but instead Ken flung it out the back door.
I got first in my class in a metallography contest. Fun!
Ken smoked salmon for Kristina and I on Sunday evening. It was delicious.
Ken made profession of faith and I officially joined the church last week. It was a joyous occasion.
We bought a LED TV. It seems ridiculously decadent.
In the 200IM men’s final, there was a guy with the same last name as me!!! We must be long-lost cousins.
There are more things to record for posterity, but they all have associated pictures so they shall have to wait until later.
In pursuit of cold work 
Yay, Ken! That’s cool! How big was this vinegaroon? They look scary. I was cheering for Deibler as well – he was looking pretty good at first with that race last night! The house looks great as well! Must have been lots of work… were you successful in meeting your deadline with Kristina visiting?
It was just a little vinegaroon, maybe 4″ total including the tail/stinger/whatever that thing is.
