It has been a while

Jay Howerter — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:19:14 +0000

I just realized that I hadn’t posted anything since April.

I finished the outside of the garage in August and I just connected the power to it last night. It has been a long journey. It has been overwhelming me. At least now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The goal is to finish it before it snows.

Anyway, just thought I would post a small update. Catch you on the flip side.

St Louis

We are in STL this weekend with Eric, Ana and David. We are going to the City Museum, the Science Center and possibly the Schlafly Tap room. Got up late and ready for breakfast. Looks like the start to a great weekend.

Chorus Concert

Last night we went to my sister-in-law’s chorus concert. I learned something there, which surprised me. What I learned is this:

Don’t Stop Believin’ doesn’t need dancing, it only needs Steve Perry (or someone who sings in the same octave).

That is all I am going to say.

Colorado Pictures

I just uploaded some pictures of our Colorado trip. Here are a few:

A little wet

That's a big rock

I believe this one was called Baptism

The rest of the Colorado pictures are here.

Florida in 2 Days!!

We leave for Florida on Saturday. It is going to be wonderful. I am so glad that I enjoy spending time with my family. My brother and sister-in-law seem more like friends than siblings.

Makeup Work

Last night I spent the better part of three hours scanning/paying bills and updating two and a half months of Quicken records. This is something I don’t enjoy doing. If I didn’t put it off for so long, it wouldn’t be a big deal. It is nice to have my bills available in PDF form though.

Back from the canoe trip on to Colorado

Jay Howerter — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:48:43 +0000

Well, I am back from the canoe trip and ready for the next vacation. I am looking forward to the Colorado trip with the boys. I am also ready to get back so I can get start/finish some of my projects. Vacation is just so inconvenient.

Hard to concentrate

Over the next couple weeks I am going on three trips. It is pretty hard to concentrate at work.

A/C Broken

Our A/C broke last night. The repairman came this morning and said the blower motor was shot. Luckily, it was under warranty. That saved me $300. Praise God. He should have it fixed tomorrow. Thank God it is cool out today.

Bass

Jay Howerter — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:53:21 +0000

With part of our tax return I decided to buy a bass guitar (and many accessories). I have always wanted to learn how to play. I have been playing for about 3 weeks and I am still having fun. At some point I think that I may play in our church’s secondary worship band. I am not very good at learning new things, but I am pressing on. I even dusted off the trombone on Saturday. It is amazing how you never forget how to do certain things. I haven’t played my trombone in two years, but I could still play. Crazy.
