New website look

If you hadn't figured it out yet, the website is undergoing a major facelift. Stay tuned for more changes.

kids are funny...

Last night we watched "it's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown". Katya thought it was funny. When it got to the part where snoopy was flying his doghouse, Katya said "why is he flying his house?" I have to admit, that is a pretty good observation for a 4 year old to make....

Had a good weekend

Well, we had a good weekend. Rain drove down to try & gt more comfy with the drive. She also started a new job yesterday and so far she likes it. This is a good thing.

 

 

Its been a bit of a busy week. We're nearly 2/3 the way through re-recording all our CDs to MP3. Rain is starting a new job next week, so life is about to get a little more interesting I think. We're off to MD for the weekend....

New brakes

I had to do the front brakes on the bike last night. After 7500 miles they were pretty much gone. It was a simple enough job to replace them and the squealing is gone. I need to be sure to have DOT4 brake fluid on hand next time. I lost a bit of fluid and the reservoir was pretty low. The brakes were very spongy until I topped it off.

 

What a trip!

The trip back for Chicago was interesting to say the least. Our flight was scheduled for 1:50PM. When we got to the time when they would board the plane, they announced a delay due to a fuel gauge problem. About 15 minutes later, they announced that due to lightning in the area, nobody was allowed outside on the tarmac, so all work was on hold. Once the lightning cleared, they resumed work. At about 2:30 they cancelled the flight and began rescheduling everyone on other flights. We started out at gate F10. Our rescheduled flight was at gate E8 - a little bit of a walk but not too terribly far. Our rescheduled flight was to take off at 4:10. At about 3:30 they announced that the incoming plane was delayed due to the weather. The time was first updated to 4:30 and then to 4:55. Due to the last time change, the gate had to be changed... to F10! We then walked back to our original gate. Our outbound flight took about an hour longer than it should have due to the fact that they had to route the plane around the storm system... We landed at about 9PM EST! 6 hours after we were to originally take off, and it is only a 2 hour flight. Needless to say we were all tired.
