The Reaper


Today we were driving around and Don't fear the reaper by Blue Oyster Cult came on the radio and I hear Kaylee in the back seat say "Yessss". I was just looking at Brit's blog and the same song started playing. I have always enjoyed BOC and I guess I was a little surprised that my kids liked it as well. I think it is a song on Guitar hero or Rock band or something like that. I guess that is why they know it.


Last fall I took Brit to his first concert. It was Ozzy Osborne and Rob Zombie. He was able to experience all the things that you might expect when going to a rock concert:
  • Drunk guys wanting to be your buddy
  • Guys picking up on the drunk girls
  • More F Bombs then one could ever expect (thanks Ozzy)
  • Spilled beer on us
  • Second hand pot smoke
  • Standing in vomit (and wearing it on my coat)
  • Girls taking off their tops (she left her bra on dont worry)
  • Fights in the parking lot after the show

All and all it was a good show and I am glad to be able to take Brit to his first Rock concert.

I know my kids really want to see Metallica if they ever come back for a concert. I guess that will be Kaylee's first concert. We will see.

Rock On!

Jeepin' Time

We are taking a trip down to Moab in a little over a month. This will be the first trip there since we sold our jeep. I have made reservations for 2 jeeps on Saturday. We will be taking a 4 door jeep and Woodards will have a 2 door Rubicon. It should be a blast.
I really miss our old jeeps sometimes. Some day I will have another offroad vehicle that I can tow behind my truck. That will be great.

Gas Prices

Gas prices really suck right now. It cost me about $75.00 to fill up my truck and I have been doing this every week. A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I was going to start driving the Lexus. We have been trying (not very hard) to sell it and it has just been sitting in the garage. First thing I had to do was buy a battery, then inspect and emmisions and finally pay the taxes. This week is the first week I have been driving it. I had forgotten how smoth it drives. By the end of the week, I had 1/3 of a tank left in the Lexus and my truck is still full. I am hoping to save a couple hundred dollars a month. On days that Kim is not doing any driving, I will take the Prius. I love the car pool lane in the mornings.

Good weekend

We had a good weekend. On Saturday, I had a few things just sitting around so I thought I would sell them on KSL.com. We ended up making $300.00. Guess one person's junk is another person's treasure. We also had to pickup some hay for the animals and them went to Ikea to get some book shelves for the big room.

Sunday I went to Brunch with Kaylee like we do almost every Sunday. It is nice to have time each week with her. Brit and I try to do things every now and then but we dont have a set time like Kaylee and I do.

We went over to my Mom and Dads to see them before they go out of town next week.

Did you know that "Chocolate milk is great for recovery after a workout."?

Virus'

On Monday one of my clients called and said that the email sent out from this company was not being sent out. As it turns out one of the computers there had picked up a virus. We started checking the outbound network traffic and saw 35,000 spam emails being sent out in 3 minutes. Once I figured out which computer was causing the issue, I had it shutdown. That stopped the spread of more spam. Because all this spam was being sent out from our network, our email server was blacklisted. This means that any email from our server would not be allowed to be received by other email servers. After a few phone calls and some more work, I made some changes that would fix the issue.

Virus' suck! I don't understand the mentality of writing computer code that is so destructive. I guess it is a form of vandalism.


If you don't have anti-virus software on your computer, get some. You can download a product call AVG anti-virus that is free. Google it.


This is how my life is now. I have about 30 clients, some with 80 employees others with one one. I never know what I will face when I wake up in the morning and come downstairs to check my cell phone.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. . . . . . . .
