Seated and waiting for the graduation to start. Seats are cramped and there are too many pushy people around me.

You can see the USS Lexington in the distance. Well, unless the changed the ship since last year. I was on it and it is really impressive.

We are at the American Bank Center all of the way on the ocean. It is in Corpus Christi right on the gulf. I am looking into the water as I type this.

Rough shower.

When hooking up Anneliese, I remembered to flip the switch for the water heater. Today, we had COLD showers! I haven’t had time to look at it but it sure was chilly!
The truck got less than poor gas mileage. I can’t wait until it is fully broken in. I will have a full trip report when I get back to the “Internets”.



Hurry up and wait.

Imagine getting ready for a 160 mile trip with a bunch of stuff to coordinate. I mentioned that I would be ready to leave early in the morning a couple of days ago. I have been working hard and preparing to meet my schedule. This morning, I am getting everything ready to get the trailer and asked what time we are leaving. I got no answer to that question. Just an argument. Morning? After lunch? Evening? No rush. Just an idea? Nothing. So, I am taking my time now and will be done when I am done. I’m finished at McDonalds. I got ice for today. I have to go to the Trailer and finish wiring the refridgerator fan. Then I have to hook the trailer up. I will go home and give ibbi and me a bath. I will throw a few things on a bag. After that? I will wait. No hurry anymore.

We are at Tammy’s second appointment. She is pretty nauseus. This should be a quick visit. Their office is really close to the house. It is a beautiful morning outside. We left in plenty if time for me to get a cup of coffee at the gas station. It’s piping hot. She got a big bottle of water.

Outside view of the new truck and travel trailer. Also, brake controller and hitch images.



Video of end of trip and my tired self trying to sound like I know what I am talking about. :)

I give you a quick tour of the inside of the travel trailer and a recap of events.

I know there is a bug with the Flash video files on the main page of the blog. You can click each entry individually and see the files. I’m sorry but I don’t have time to fix that right now.

It is in WalMart parking lot.

We got hungry while waiting for the truck. I asked that we just go somewhere close to the dealer. She selected Mexican. Ya-hoo! So, we are waiting on our table.

Here we are. Our first morning with the awning out and computing away! :)

We are getting close to the end of the night.  We have had a long day with work and getting this thing set up and configured the way we want it.  It should be ready to take to Corpus with us next weekend.  So far, this thing is really nice!

Tom Vs Tammy

Inspired by a podcast from the G4 network, Attack of the show, I decided to make an image.  They have been having a “Kevin vs Olivia” week on the show and recently on their podcast, a similar graphic appeared.

I believe this is also brought on by (hopefully - so they can go away) the hormone events recently.  I can’t attribute any single thing to them but we may have some flying around (both of us) with this pregnancy.

Enjoy the pic :)

 



Video for my Mom!

Mom, 

Here is the video of the ultrasound.  It is much smaller and trimmed so you can see it on your dial-up connection.  I hope you enjoy it like we did.  I also have included a picture with the correct button to hit to make it work right:

Press that button for full screen video! :)

Here is the real video:

Tammy wanted a wedge salad. Here we are. I am going to eat the grilled chicken as I have to drop some tons.
Earlier today, I arranged the weekend with the trailer place if my truck doesn’t make it here on time. I also had them attach the ball to the hitch since I don’t have a socket large enough. 1 7/8″ is a hard socket to find!
Oh! Steph’s car looks nice!

Looks like she has had enough of looking at me like this all day. She wants to get Jason’s Deli for dinner. Time to go eat!

Tammy wanted hotdogs. Sonic was the closest and fastest choice. As we got in the extremely hot car, Tammy changed her mind. So, Taco Bell it is.
