It's Warming Up in DaHo...

After months of cold and snow, its finally warming up here in DaHo. Most of the snow is gone and the roads are clear - the first time since before Christmas.

I have been getting my fishing equipment all setup and ready to go searching for the Big Ones in a couple of weeks, or so. I got this new spinning reel, a Fin-Nor OFS95. It is the biggest spinning reel made and is very impressive. I have it all loaded with 130# hollow spectra line and am very ready to start fishing again.

The new Media Center Extender box is just getting better and better. I have been searching around the Internet and found this little software add-in that skips all the commercials when you play back a recorded TV show. It really works well and we both love it. Around Christmas, I got a pair of Sony wireless headphones for the bedroom, so I can listen to TV and not bother Pam at night. They have really worked out great, so I just ordered another identical pair for the living room. Once it is installed, we can listen to both sets of headphones in either location.

My pool has been getting better. I have been practicing more and it has really helped. We played our last game in the Thursday night league last week, so that is finally over. I have been wanting to resume playing in the Tuesday 9-ball tournaments and will start this week. My Wednesday night leagues is wrapping up this week also. I am happy the winter leagues are over now that it is starting to warm up. Neither of us wanted me to play three times a week - that is just too much 'fun'...

Pam has started to take a Tuesday night belly dancing class. She had her first one last week, and it took a few days for her legs to recover from all the exercise. She really likes it and the folks and teacher in the class.

Speaking of Pam, she has been doing really great at work. She is again the Number One tech in the whole world of Dell. And, this time, its at the end of quarter time frame, so we get to go to the big Top Performer Awards dinner in a couple of weeks. They are always big fun...

Also, she entered the annual Valentines Day Box contest and won. This year, her box was the top portion of the Tin Man, of movie fame. She won a $50 Jakers Gift Card, which is one of our most favorite restaurants in DaHo...
