Claiming the Man Space

It's finally my space, I started a renovation last Spring on what was formally a Garage. The original intentions were that we were going to create a wonderful "Family" room for us to just hang out in and have fun. It was too bad that I did too good of a job on the renovation that my wife decided to move our bedroom down there instead so we could be below our youngest son. After a year we finally convinced her that we should move back to the main house and re-create our "family room". Now I get to go shopping for some new gear to set up our room, first of all we needed a new LCD flat screen to mount up on the wall for our super movie nights and of course for our oldest son's new PS3.
I can't wait to finish off the room with a home theatre to finish off our theatre experience. All I have to do is head down to the store for some popcorn and soda's and get ready for great nights with the kids.

Camera Critter : Puppy Days of Summer

To Join the Critter fun click HERE

Riley seems to be making himself right at home here, he had a great day today, here he is after having a swim with the kids. I think his teeth are almost sharp enough to actually chew through this cable, he loves to run around and when you are least expecting it he will muckle onto your foot with those teeth.

How could you really stay mad at a face like this, yes he may have just dug 2 great big holes in the lawn but common you have to give it to him for being cute.

He and Breigh are starting to get along well and enjoyed an afternoon nap to get away from the heat. It has been more fun than I thought it would be having 2 dogs, hopefully they will continue to make it fun.

Building Security and peace of mind

Every so often you here on the news about an airline plane that has had problems but when you really think about all the planes and all the flights that happen everyday and the vigorous task given these air crafts it makes you consider where are the parts created to keep these planes in one piece as they soar through the air.
It truly is amazing to research the manufactures that work in the aerospace industry day in and day out and the amazing tests that they do on a regular basis to ensure all their Fasteners are of top quality and will stand up to the abuse they will take at high altitudes, pressures and conditions time and time again. It isn't that they have to make a part that will last once but they create parts that work without fail for multiple applications.
My wife is heading on a flight with my daughter and her dance troupe tomorrow morning which made me start to run through all the different scenarios for their flight. Luckily I found a website for Airplane Part Manufactures that goes through the entire process and reliability. I will be able to sleep easier tonight knowing the time and effort that went into preparing the aircraft that will be carrying the two most important ladies in my life.

After finishing 2nd in my football fantasy league the last couple of years I decided it was time to make the move so I could be collecting the big prize at the end of the season.

Camera Critters: Down on Grandpa's Farm

On a recent visit to my folks home we were hanging out in the yard one evening. The kids love visiting Grandpa's Barn because you just never know what kind of animals he will have in it when you get there. We have seen just about everything over the years, pups, cats, sheep, chickens, cows, horses, pigs, rabbits, probably the most exotic were the Peacock and the Emu's. Grandpa has been cutting back a bit the last couple of years and basically has sheep, cows, chickens and his dog. I took this picture at dusk with my son and his cousin hanging out on the fence looking at the sheep playing in the field. It was a fun trip and hopefully there will be some cool animals there when we head back next week to pick up our new puppy.
