    Ok, but it will be a bit. Uploading pics is always a bit of a chore for me... Not because it's hard, but because the cables are never handy. Yes, I am lazy :ashamed001:

    He did it again!! In last night's soccer game, for the second game in a row, my son scored a goal on a punt, while playing goalkeeper. We now play his punts like a corner kick...the ball is just coming from a different direction.

    Today is my wife's last day of work before summer break. She is going out with some of her co-workers after work for a girls' night out, which means that from 4:00 on I get to have a daddy day with our 1-year old son! :happy108::happy036:

    We cleaned out sand filters yesterday at work. Something an engineer only has to participate in at a small company. When I did this about a year ago, I was exhausted afterwards. Yesterday, I ran three miles a couple hours later. I'm definitely in the best shape of my life and that proved it to me.

    What is a sand filter?

    A vessel filled with sand that filters out stuff from the liquid you pass through it (in our case salty water). We normally clean it by flowing water backward through the filters, but eventually stuff builds up on the sand and the water doesn't flow so easily and the sand needs to be replaced.

    SUPER awesome double news for me today!

    1. I am confirmed to be on TV this Monday talking about barbering and my recent award winning things etc. - VERY excited.

    2. I have an interview on Wednesday for a new job in a pretty cool barbershop in town - yeah!

    Ditto!

    I spent part of today on a Teachers' field trip to a local beach, where we studied & tagged horseshoe crabs.

    It should be viewable online after the airing but maybe only to Ireland residents so I'll see what I can do about getting it up on youtube/my blog for everyone also :)

    Usain Bolt just ran a 9.79 secs in the 100m sprint to beat Asafa Powell (9.85) at the Diamond League, Oslo. Seems like he's getting back on form at the right time!
