Weekend Update
It was nice to see Dennis finally made a couple posts and I some how missed a bunch of Kelly’s. Things have just not been so great at work the last couple weeks. Last week was really bad since I was primary night time oncall. I didn’t get woke up exactly one out of seven nights. I think last night was the worst, I got paged at 2am, 4:30am and again at 7am. I finally just gave up, put the tickets in pending and said I was driving into work. I wondered around like a zombie all day and left at 4pm. I didn’t take a nap, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to go to sleep tonight and not have one of those over tired cycles.
This weekend was the yearly NWAPRS summer gathering. This is another ham radio thing, but one that I didn’t have to organize or do anything but show up for. It was a little sad actually, because the thing is dying a slow death. There was probably a 1/4 of the people there that attended just three years ago. The talks were starting to be re-runs of stuff done at other places and all the other signs of a thing dying. The good news is that I got to sit and talk with a couple people I don’t see often. I got some software problems solved by the actual developers and otherwise had a nice time.
Sunday was a Isaac and Daddy day. Rosie is still doing hikes on the weekend, so it was just us boys for the day. We rode bikes, had Subway for lunch and spent a bunch of time playing with his GeoTraks trains. I can’t believe his 3rd birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. I’m quite proud of myself, I already got all his b-day presents, all but one has showed up from Amazon even. The best thing is that we watched the original Star Wars Sunday morning. Isaac found my R2-D2 and CP30 action figures and spent all day Saturday playing with them, so Sunday I got the DVD out and sat and watched it with him. He is only good for about 45 minutes at a time, but we managed to watched the whole thing on Sunday. I sat with him and explained the parts he really didn’t get, I hope I didn’t scar him for life with the more violent parts.
