Back from vacation

September 21, 2009Dan No Comments »

Yeah, we’ll just say I was on vacation from the blog for the month of August. I am back at MTU (as of 3 weeks ago) and things are definitely in full swing. September has been busy too!

Weekend 1: Labor day weekend. Went home to visit friends and family, had a great time and beautiful weather.
Weekend 2: HAYDAYS. Need I say more? We look forward to Haydays almost as much as actual snow. I picked up a bunch of snowmobile parts.
Weekend 3: Recla wedding, and boy was it a good one! Thanks for great fun at the reception and wish you the very best!
Weekend 4: While it’s not 100% certain, it sounds like I’ll be attending the CCC Fall Retreat. I guess we’ll see.

Look forward to more regular updates on the site (including a tentative visual overhaul) now that I seem to be settled in to the school year.

Life of a contractor

Well, I am officially relocated to MN for the rest of the summer. My position at SAS is done for the time being, as it was only a temporary position anyway. I’ll be working out the rest of the summer (until school starts again) in Minneapolis for a company called Minnesota Control Systems. They do large building control systems installation and configuration, specifically with Honeywell hardware.

So, for the first time in the last 5+ years, I do not have an office, desk, cubicle or computer to call my own. For the most part, at least right now, all my work is setting up and troubleshooting HVAC control systems in many (large) buildings in the greater twin cities area.

So far I’m settled in to my temporary residence well, and I enjoy the job. I think it will be a good fit. It’s certainly a change living in a large city for a while. More later (I suppose).

Ugh

Too lazy for a blog post. Sorry guys. I did post a bunch of pictures of what’s been keeping me busy, though. Check out Honda renovation project pictures here. G’night.
