I finally have the site looking mostly the way I want. The picture up at the top is from last August when Brandi and I took a trip down to Crater Lake and then spent some time wine tasting in Ashland. It isn’t the best picture in the bunch, but I have quite a bit of organizing to do with my computer, so for now, it will have to do. I am using the K2 theme for Wordpress, and so far I am pretty happy with the flexibility of the theme. Once my life gets a little slower I will make the page a bit more personal. I will also update my Flickr account with more pictures for sharing.
If you are a known entity, check out my page at facebook. Some friends of mine have posted pictures of me back when I was much younger and had a (gasp!) mullet. Good times, good times…
On May 31st, I did something that I haven’t done in over 7 years…I purchased a new vehicle. While the ‘94 Camry had served my wife and I well (along with my wife’s parents) during its duration, we had to say goodbye to the ol’ girl and we got a new Nissan Altima. While the Camry was paid for and had only 118000 miles on it, it was at a point where it was going to need some major upkeep over the next year or two, which would have cost around 2500 bones. And with my job having me travel from Hillsboro to Salem, Eugene, and Bend, it was time to get a new vehicle that could add a few road miles on it while still getting some good gas mileage.

Ok, I promise that this is the last post about the blog itself for a while. The theme, while not my favorite really, seems to be promising. I am going to play around with the site a bit more, but for now this will have to do. I think I would rather have meaningful posts than simply talking about what a pain it is to get the site the way I want.
I know…enough already!
For the ones of you who are actually reading this site, you will notice that it still looks a bit funky. I had a bit of a struggle getting the new version of Wordpress working, but I think I have the basics of it down. I now have to do some editing of the theme to get it looking the way it should. At least this forced me to do an upgrade to the site that was sorely needed, and I am writing much more often than before, if only to bitch about the problems with the site. Such is life…
So, it looks like I have a whole new look for my website…well, I do, but it was somewhat unintentional. I am going to be working on tweaking the site when I have some spare time. For now, this site may look a bit strange, but you can count on that same, every 3-6 months I will post something can-do spirit that this space was founded.
At least this damn thing is up now…
