Below is what we have to look forward to this weekend. It is the Weather Channels Warning I get when the weather is going to hit the fan. Bill and Karen should be scared very scared.

In other news today I tought myself how to soder copper water lines ( O the joy of home ownership). Also I was able to get out for a few rides this week since the temps were rather warm and sunny. I wonder what airline Bill and Karen are coming in on? I should proberly find out so I know where to meet them.

It's official. I am now an employee of Wells Fargo. I will start on the 26th. The first week will be training. I will also need to go to Minneapolis for training eventually. This is a good opportunity for me. The company offers great benefits and a chance for growth.

Good news!! My most desired job that I interviewed with has made me an offer. It all rides on a background check that should not be a problem. I should start next Monday. After I start I will reveal the company.

The weather channel is Predicting the high this weekend to not even hit the 0 degree mark. Yup thats right we will be below o for a few days. Oh yea and I almost forgot the wind chill can be as low as -40. Yup thats a minus in front of that #. If you want to check it out you can click the link on the sidebar. I think I should go for a bike ride to crash course the adapting phase.

The interviews went well. I have learnt I am in the final running for the one I preffer. I should here something by next Wendnesday. I also have another Interview next Tuesday.

As I type it is a balmy 7 degrees out. The snow was short lived and I have not been able to use the snow blower yet although I am ready. Maybe we will get some more soon.

It started snowing last night and is still snowing right know. Weather.com said it should keep coming for a day or so. It other news I have two second interviews this week. That is a good sign. Also we will be having Aidens 1st birthday on the 25th of Febuary. You can rsvp by E-mail @ hh2az@yahoo.com .

We recieved more snow today. not enough to shovel the old driveway but enough to have to use the scraper. I think it was around 2". I am watching the playoffs and am sick of seeing the Patriots. Not because I am a jets fan but just because its getting old. Also if anyone knows how to put a video on Blogger let me know please.

Snow!! we finaly got some. About 6 inches or so. Enough to make the roads interesting. i am also now a proffesional driveway shoveler. The house did come with a snow blower but I have not tried it out yet. I kept Aiden home from daycare today and we had all kinds of fun. He should sleep good tonight.

Due to popular demand I have changed the blog format again. I figured how can you go wrong with the luck of the Irish? In other news I have a few interviews coming up. The last one was a bust. The job was rather undesirable. Aiden has started daycare part time. The lady who does it is certified and works out of her house with a small # of kids. The best part is that we could walk to her house in less than 10 minutes.

The weather has not been bad at all. When we moved here I was expecting a blizzard everyday with temps in the single digits. So far I think it has snowed twice and the highs have been near 40. That all will change soon according to the weather man. I think there are a few days next week that wont get out of the teens. Below is the link to the weather.

Not a whole lot happen around here. I do have a job interview tommorow. I dont think this is a job that will work for me but the interview process should give me some practice since I have not had an interview in a long time. ya never know though this could be a good opertunity.

Also I have been playing with the blog formats. Its rather amusing all the funky things you can do with the colors and what not. Ann and Loran should be here tommorow. That should be nice. We are still having really unseasonal weather.Its been 15-20 degrees above the norm. Still feels cold to me.

Happy New Years everyone! Whats your New Years resolution? The most popular is loose weight. I think that will be mine. Since Aiden has arrived I have been lazy and have managed to pack on a few. Even though it is cold outside I can go for a run outside and do some weight training indoors. Since I want this to actually happed I will start with a light schedual. If I go to heavy at first I wont stick with it very long. Maybe 2 runs a week of 30 minutes including warm up and cool down. And once a week with the weights. I figure if it does get to cold or snowy I can jump on the spin bike.

In other news Michelles mom and Loran will be here on Friday for a visit. That will be nice for Aiden to see them. Also I did put a new video on his video site. The house is unpacked and feels like a home now.

The Jets are in the playoffs!!!!

I hope we all had a good Christmas. We went to Michelles grandmas for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. That was nice to see Michelle with all her family. Aiden also had some fun with all the other kids. Now it is time to get back to biz. Time to find a job. I also put a bunch of videos of him opening presents on the video site. http://www.dropshots.com/hh2az

Well all is well up here at the north pole. The weather has been rather warm for this time of the year ( so i am told). All is well and the house is setting up nicely. As soon as we are done we will get some pics up.

We found daycare that we really like and it is less than 5 minutes from the house. That was proberly the most stressfull part of the move. Watching the little rugrat all day is rather tiring. I am ready to work.

Also I have started a video blog of Aiden. If you have high speed its pretty quik otherwise you may as well plan on giving it a while. There are pics first and then the last thing will be the videos. Here is the site. www.dropshots.com/hh2az


I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

We are here. The new house is nice and alot of our stuff is in boxes still ,but all the important stuff is unpacked. Michelle has started her new job and is pretty happy. Aiden is doing well and the dogs are adjusting fine. I will try to get some pics up after we are unpacked a little more.

Sunday I leave for Wisconsin. Here is the plan. Michelle, Aiden, Ann And Loran are getting on a plane Tuesday. I am driving out this sunday with the dogs. The movers should be there on friday to give us our stuff. The house is all signed for. We will get the keys when we arive from the real estate agent.

The big news of the week is that we are moving to Wisconsin. Eau Claire to be exact. Michelle was made an offer from her company that was worth the move and we are ready to get out of Tucson. We will be making the move in the middle of November. All hands on deck to help us move please ( just kidding). In other news Aiden is doing well and my Jets are doing better than I thought they would this year.

Tour of the White Mountains

It rained two days before we got there and one after. Needless to say the course was soupy. It was bad enough that the event promoter had to make course changes to get all the bikes off the singletrack. So instead of 41 miles off trail rideing bliss it was more of a jeep road gravel grind.

The actual trip was nice. The weather was not as cold as what was expected. The high was around 65 with a low of 40. The weather channel had predicted lows in the low 30s and highs in the 50s. Aiden has posted some pics on his site.

Also in Aidens world he has an ear infection and is on drugs. He slept most of the day yesterday and so far today he has been a pain. I have him locked in the closet right now.

Whew!! its beena while since I have been here. The little brat keeps me busy. Michelles mom and Loran have the kid this weekend. We are supposed to pick him up tommorow. We are also going to Pinetop next weekend for the tour of the white mountains a 66 mile mountain bike ride threw the Mountains in northern Arizona. After that it should start to cool down a little. The high today is 98 degrees.

In other news We have signed a lease to expand our #2 store to 5000 sqf. That will be nice to be able to carry more product without all the clutter of a small store. That should happen within the next month or so.

Aiden is sitting on his own and loves to make noise. Not only with his big mouth but with whatever he can bang on or with. He is also on the verge of crawling. He can get up on all 4s and then fall down. He had a flu shot and also has had all of his shots. He is officially up to date. He is also eating baby food off a spoon.

We sold my car and bought Michelle the Civic she has always wanted and I took over her car. I am not riding much lately but thats ok I am plenty busy without having to worry about missing a traing ride. Thats it for now.

We are back from Wi. The Trip went well. Aiden does pretty good on the plane, He only had one real episode for about 10 minutes. The people around us were rather supportive. I was surprised. We also went to the 2007 Trek bicycle show in Madison. I think I could live in Madison It is a pretty cool little town.
