We ain’t dead, just busy..

We both are working again. I am studying to get my MCSE ( Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer ) certification and it is a bear of a process. We just became members of 24 hour fitness, so we can get our workout on. Overall, all is good.

Cheers!

First things first. Happy Birthday Ma Baxter. Since I have been making wise cracks for the last several weeks about your age, I will behave and not write it down… hehe your old….

It has been a while since I have posted anything worth reading on this site. Oh sure, we all enjoy funny pictures featuring cats and dogs, but that doesn’t tell you anything about how Liv and I are doing over here in Hawaii. So lets update you..

Things are hot, it has been between 85 – 95 for the past month. This is normal for Hawaii and while my ideal temperature would be around 70, I don’t mind a hot day or two. The problem with these hot days is that there are no trade winds. This means it is just hot. Everywhere we go is hot, it is hot at home, it is hot in the car, it is hot at work. We can’t seem to get away from this heat. We are looking forward to when it starts cooling down in a month or so, and the morning rains move from the mountains to the lower lands and bring the temperatures back down around 70 – 80. This will be good, and I will be happy.

Football season is upon us, and this is good. I like to watch football, and Liv likes when I watch football because I am not chasing her around the room, making wise cracks. Hawaii plays Southern Cal this weekend in what looks like it will be a complete crushing of Hawaii. My boss got me tickets. It should be alot of fun.

I took my first test for my certification and just came up short of passing. I get a free retake and will do this in a couple weeks. It was harder then I thought it was going but I did a fairly decent job. I showed up to take my test at the scheduled time and due to network issues had to sit in a room and wait for 2 hours. Now it is a 3 hour test, so 5 hours after I was supposed to start, I finally left the building with a headache. I still wonder if I would of been allowed to take the test when it was supposed to start, if i would of passed. I have found out though that it is tough to study after you have been out of school and working for a while.

Both of our jobs are going well. Our working out at 24 fitness is going well. We both hurt. I dont like hurting…

We are looking forward to the 3 day weekend this weekend and are planning on going for a hike on monday. I will take pictures and post them on the website.

Well my lunch break is almost over. I must go.. Cheers.
