Robot Scott

Hello World.

Went dirt bike riding on Friday. I took a few pictures of my friends Jesse and Wilder while they rode through a couple corners. I'll use the pictures for work.

-I uploaded a bunch to facebook.

I really am in need of a haircut.

Who knew there was an annual Christmas tree burn on January 1st at Golden Gardens?

I found out about it.

Closer than it appears?

We had a round of lay offs at work today.

The office of 8 will be the office of four at the end of January.
One person took another job mid-December.

50% reduction of work force.

I've only had the house long enough to make 2 mortgage payments.
I was one of the "lucky four".

No raise, no bonus, but at least I still have a job.
My 40-60 hour work weeks will probably hit a 60-70 hour average over the next 2-3 months.

I know that I bust ass at work, and my job can not be done by someone at the parent company.
I want to be happy that I still have a job, but I feel guilty when I do.
Four people I work with, four friends, 1/2 of the people I interact with for 40+ hours a week will no longer be there.

Happy Nude Year Everyone!

I think that Seattle could use a few of these right about now.

Ah, the snow.

I have missed you for far too long.

What to my wondering eyes should appear, but a bus full of tacos!

Hot tacos on a cold day!
The best.

Me loves the Taco Bus!

AND...
The house is coming along well.
I need to earn more money, and have more time off though.
I'm spending way to much time (and money) at Lowes.
New workshop in the back is coming along well, and I have 400 red bricks stacked up and waiting to become a back patio.
Now I just need some time to work on the stuff.
Pictures soon!
No, really.

Back from the work trip to California.
It was a long week.
We had a team building bowling tournament Thursday night.
My team took...

ah yeah..

First Place!
Who's a winner?

That's right.

I'm hoping to get some house stuff done this weekend.
New washer and dryer coming tomorrow!
I can't wait!

Bought a new oven today.
Yeah.

Living room is almost, semi-complete.
A little touch up, hanging the mantle, and moving the painting paper.
-then moving the rest of the stuff in.

Before:


As it is now:

In the right light my eyes are the same color as my new walls!

You asked for 'em.
Here they are.

The place was a rental that was foreclosed on.
It was a messy mess inside.

I cleaned and painted for 16 hours today.
-and I'll be back at it tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.



( With a Rebel Yell She Cried More More More... )
( The shape of things to come )

1.5 blocks from the coming light rail.
1.5 blocks to Rainier.
8 Blocks to Seward Park.
3 bedrooms.
1 bath.
950 square feet.
4900 square foot lot.

I have keys.
I now own...


...a mortgage.

If things go as planned, I should get the keys today.

No, the keys to the new house.
I'm still searching for the person who has the key to my heart.

Signed papers today.

I can almost talk about it.

(Oh I hope nothing mucks it up!)

It's almost closing time.
