Looks like my *edit* two *edit* siblings have been as super busy as I have.
I've been busy because recently my job has been secured. In these hard times, our company has had to lay off more than half of our field workers, and because there haven't been many new jobs coming in for design, our other two designers and our receptionist have all been laid off too. That means our company is back to the way we were about three years ago. It's just our office manager, Tom, Joel, and me now (our superintendent hasn't been laid off, but he was moved back into field work rather than office work). I've been super busy completing the last few loose ends of my ex-coworkers projects for the past two weeks or so along with the few jobs that have come up. I think I'll have a lot less stress moving forward from now because all of those loose ends have been neatly tied together, but it's still awfully lonely here in the office. It's still a bit of a relief because we all knew that layoffs were coming, but we didn't know who was on the chopping block and now I know so long as the company survives, I've got income. It just sucks that I've had to put in all sorts of Own Time to get everything done.
On a more positive note, as unimportant as it is, I finally figured out how to make my TV play my XBox 360 in HD. It's great to finally be able to read the text on the screen. I'm also still doing my drifting thing just about every other weekend. Here is some video from a chase car from the last big meet up at William land park.
I think I'm getting a lot better. I still haven't gotten bored with it. There's another meet this weekend that I'll be attending in a parking garage. It's a new location for me with an unfamiliar surface, but hopefully I'll still have some awesome skillz on it.
This Saturday, Mike and I are going to be hitting the lake by my apartment. I finally have his boat working 100% and now we just need to test it out on the water. I'll see what I can do to perhaps get some video of it so you can see how that goes too. I'm really getting into this whole RC thing. I wouldn't bet against it that I may get into RC flying before too long... perhaps that will be a better midlife crisis than a motorcycle.
Thanks for being patient with my lack of updates guys.

THREE siblings? Dad, is there something you're not telling us?
Rob, I'm SO RELIEVED to hear that the job's feeling more secure. Looks like the "own time" has had its reward. A good investment. But man! You DO sound busy. Put video of the boat up next time if you can. I wanna see.
Cement hole lagoon not sounding familiar. Anyone? Anyone?
whoops heh... *edit* two sibling (there's three of us though... I'm an idiot)
It's something I would say. We are definitely siblings. Miss you xoxo
I think I'll hold out another week before answering this quote. I gotta give Mark a shot at it... I think he'll get it.
