25 & 27

I have some pictures but not my camera, so I'll post pictures of my weekend tonight, but I thought I'd post something since it's been a while...
This weekend I went to Albany for several reasons. On Saturday Mom, Dad, Stess, Nicole and I all rode our bikes in the Strawberry Festival Centenial Ride. No, we didn't ride 100 miles, but we did half that. Okay, some of us did half that. Since we had a beautiful little girl and a cute dog who couldn't join us on the ride Nicole and I switched off. She started with Mom, Dad and Stess and they rode the first 25 miles, from Lebanon High School to the other end of Foster Resivore in Sweet Home. I followed with the baby and the dog.
Mom and Dad have two tandem bikes, one is an upright and the other is a recumbant. I prefer the recumbant by far! They all did great on the way to Foster. I met them at one stop and was very glad to have mom nearby as the little one had a blow out and didn't want to drink the formula I'd made. Good timing I must say. Then it was off to the half way point. Once there I switched with Nicole and Dad and I rode the recumbant. That's a fun bike! It's amazing how much easier it is to ride with someone than on your own bike! We made it all the way back to Lebanon High School where they had strawberry short cake waiting for us. All told, they did just over 50 miles and Nicole and I did 25.
After the ride we went home for showers and rest. Since Sunday was Father's Day, and my birthday, and since no one wanted to cook dinner, we joined my Aunt and Uncle for dinner and then saw the new "Indiana Jones" movie. I'm not going to give anything away for those of you who haven't seen it, but I'll tell you that I liked it. Now, I'd heard mixed reviews so I didn't have high hopes for the movie, but hey, it's Indiana Jones on the big screen. That was worth it for me.
Sunday was my 27th birthday and Father's Day! Church was great, lots of friends and a good sermon. Mom and Dad joined us at Faith. It was good to see friends. Dani Warren's birthday was yesterday too, so I got to bless her as well as be blessed. Thanks for all your birthday wishes!
Stess and I had lunch with Mom and Dad, got to take a nap, cleaned Stess' kitchen, Dad mowed the lawn and got to watch golf, and I got free coffee at Dutch Bros. Stess gave me a Sisters book and a cool plate and Mom and Dad fixed up my bike so I have nice road tires. Now I won't kill myself so easily when I try to ride to wrok.
So, it was a good weekend! I'm glad Stacy's back in Portland. Hannah and I are going out for Margarita's tonight and it's sunny!

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!

Barn Party 2007

I had a great time tonight at the 3rd Annual Barn Party! For the first time I entered into the chili contest and the pie contest. I was quite surprised to actually win both! Of course, mine was the only fruit pie, but I was up against some tough competition with spicy chili. Especially since I don't really like chili, or spicy stuff. I had Crista taste it first, and then another friend. I actually didn't taste it until after Stess had put some in her bowl. Wow it was spicy! I do have a funny story to go along with my items. Pictures are worth a thousand words, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, so you'll have to use your imagination. On the way to the party Stess had the crock pot of Chili sitting in a large cardboard box on her lap. In her hand was the pie in it's pie plate. We were driving her little Mustang and I was driving, trying to do so carefully so as not to spill the chili or dump the pie. We went up a small hill and realized that the chili wa...

Crybabies!

Some adults are such crybabies! I've been teaching a new product training class these past few weeks and it's amazing how some people are flat out crybabies when it comes to doing their job. This class has a test at the end, 12 questions. True, some of the questions aren't that great, and there are a few that are wrong, but for the most part, the test is fine. This week I'm working on having those people who didn't pass the first time. They are a bunch of babies! Now granted, there are some great people who know it's a test, know there's not a lot they can do about it and know that I'm just the messanger. However, it's the people who come in griping and grumpling about how they're just stupid tests and they've never passed one before so why worry now that really frusterate me! It's not my decision to test you. I didn't write the test. I didn't decide to make the product work, or not work, the way it's designed. Just...
