The week started out with getting a new asphalt driveway at my house. In order to lay the asphalt, the paving company had to remove the old cement driveway first. The only problem was that in the process, a piece of sidewalk collapsed and that was on me to fix. So, after they were done with the new driveway (witch turned out great) I had...

I've been riding skateboards for many years. Some may say I'm too old, but that's just bullshit. Anyway, I had my first wipe out in a long time today. I was cruising around the building at work, and my board stopped abruptly when I hit a manhole cover. The only problem is when the board stopped, I did not! Oh yeah...full superman face plant. Luckily,...

My wife and I got to spend a wonderful (and rare) night out together on Friday night. We went to see Chris Stapleton play live, and he put on a great show. It was honestly way better than I expected.

We even got to do a little tail-gating, and had some food and beverages before the show. We've never been to a "country" show, but

I've recently started riding some BMX again. It's strange to ride again because it's been such a long time, and well (let's face it), I'm old. Even an old guy can still rip a little, and I've been having fun. Here's a few pics of the park I visited today.

I don't post here too often, but I thought this picture was pretty cool. This was taken on the 4th of July. I had to work that day, but since it wasn't busy, I was able to finish building my new bike (which turned out great!).

The very next day, I got to take her on a nice long ride which made me a very

It's kind of a quiet, sleepy winter day for me. I'm usually not working on the weekend, but I agreed to cover a shop for one of my managers. This particular bike shop is pretty cool because it's in an old barn building that's been converted in to retail space. There's been a few customers today, but not many. I've been sipping coffee and chilling...

It was a two Christmas party weekend for me (one Saturday, and one on Sunday). Although I'm not anti social, I'm not one to enjoy large gatherings of people. Both parties were very large and anxiety producing because of the amount of people. I didn't get shit faced drunk, but it's fair to say that I asked a lot of my liver to help me...

Took a quick selfie before heading out to my wife's work Christmas party. Tomorrow, I get to go to my work party. Busy weekend!

Went to the barber for a haircut and a beard trim this morning. This is the first time I've ever grown a beard, and I'm rather fond of it. Some people say it makes me look old, but the ladies seem to like it.

I heard a story on NPR today about Bach's Cello Suites. I decided to listen to it when I got home and this happened.

The past few days have not been good. My boss informed me that my position is being eliminated, and I'll essentially have to take a demotion to stay with the company. I'm feeling a bit of animosity about how this has all transpired. The good news is that I've already got a job offer and another big interview coming up this week. Maybe this will...

I can't even tell you how much I needed this vacation. It was a great week away with my family. Tomorrow, we return back home which I guess is not such a bad thing. After all, I miss my pups (the three amigos).

We drank lots of good beer...

Ate lots of good food...

And spent lots of time on the beach (me looking not
