This is where I live

This is my current room setup. I moved from many people on a floor sharing a public bathroom to this. The space is about the same but now we have our own bathroom. We also have a living room with a tv a couple of chairs and a couch. The "living room" is shared by six rooms.

This was on a saturday. During the week we have to have our room in inspection order and it is really clean and tidy. On the weekends we do laundry and other stuff etc. I pull out stuff for doing leather work etc. It gets messy for a couple of days and then back into the regimented life. Actually I have here a clip of my first room and how life was a bit. Hope you enjoy!

While under construction. . .

I unearthed a golden nugget from the past while digging around. I found some of this and with just a little bit of polishing I present to you a typical Saturday.

This was a little work on David's house.

Under construction

So there are quite a few posts coming your way but unfortunately it isn't today.  

Under construction with Bullard ( I'm the tall one )

One Year

There is a bunch of stuff going on right now.  I am pretty busy getting some stuff together and it should be good for an interesting post or maybe even a few.  But I just thought I would ask this question:

What did you do one year ago today?  

Culinary delights

I just wanted to mention a few noteworthy things.  Well, actually only one at this time.  FOOD!!

This is a picture of some people from class and we are cooking lunch.  Never mind my bad hair cut.  The guy that does it forgot one of the sizes and just butchered the side so tried to then even it all out.  It's a good thing I don't pay him very much.  Anyway, this is my buddy Jafar (that is just what I call him, long story)  and he is chopping up some greens with some assistance from Dave for some egg drop soup.  Speaking of eggs, their are both good ones and are nice to have around on a long day.  Yum Yum!

And wow.  On a scale of 1-10 if a 16 oz new york steak is a 7 this dessert is a 19!  I mention that because the steak was first.  It was amazing.  Oh so tender.  It was accompanied by some veggies and a baked potato.  My natural tendency to snap a photo at every opportunity was quelled by the fact it was a nice place.  What a view!  right on the corner of the bay.  Melodie was kind enough to have her cell phone with her to take a picture.  She saved the day!  For any visitors this is a must see location.  And by see I mean bask in the goodness of this wonderful location! 

From 18,000 feet up. . . (part b)

So this was one of my other favorite pictures that didn't post to the previous one.  

Topsy turvy eh?!?

From 18,000 feet up. . .

Saturday morning I woke up and all I saw was fog out my window.  Sad right?!?  Not so, I have lived here long enough to know what happens a short time later.  It got up to 90 degrees or so.  What a beautiful day.  Which happened to work out really well due to the fact that I had made some plans with a few friends to go SKYDIVING!!

We waited around for a bit and of course had to sign some papers.   Then we went up.  Took a plane to 18,000 feet.  It only took about ten minutes to get up to altitude.  Then the door was opened and guess who was the first to go.

Yep you guessed it.  We did our front roll out of the plane and then proceeded to do a free fall for about 90 seconds.  Think about that.  If you have a watch on go ahead and look at it.  Count off 90 seconds and see how long that is.  Now imagine falling for that amount of time.  

Keep in mind some of the physics involved.  We jump out and certain things start to take effect.  Gravity has a force of about 9.8 meters per second squared at sea level.  We accelerate rather quickly.  Factor in drag and a few other elements and we reach terminal velocity which is about 120 mph.  Yeah, it gets windy.

This is my jump master John.   

This whole thing was awesome!  What a great day!
