Back from ski trip, New Year's Eve plans

Hey all, we just got back from Gatlinburg, TN and wanted to remind you that everyone is invited over to our place for New Year's Eve. Let me know if you think you'll be coming in the comments so I can get an idea of how many people I should expect. The ski trip went really well considering it was my first time skiing. I took a lesson to get the feel for it and spent most of the night on the green circle run with everybody else. For my last trip down the mountain I went down a blue square. I felt like I was going 100mph and was totally out of control. Just before I was about to go off the side of the mountain I laid it down and slid for about 50-100 feet. Teddy was laughing so hard that he took his first and only fall of the night. Overall it was an awesome trip, we'll definitely go again in the near future.

Merry Christmas Eve

Well today is the last day of work for me until the 5th. Not sure what I will do to keep myself busy but I will try to find something. Wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Eve since tomorrow you will probably be busy with Tiny Little Infant Jesus stuff. For those of you who are making it to the DiVincenzo's party today, give my family a hug, have an extra plate, and down an extra cold one for me.

Best wishes- j

Dear Nick,

While you were sitting in the airport in the freezing north, I was out catching these.

F the North

This fucking storm is screwing up my vacation big time. I was supposed to leave today for Texas and now I am scheduled for Sunday. However, what does the weather report say for Sunday...shocker more snow/sleet. Fuck the north and there shitty weather I will take the heat and sun any day of the year. I am done with this shiiiiiit.

Sorry Adam it is the truth...no other way around it.

MyCatchLog v2.0

Hey Guys and Girls -

We are in our final stage of testing for MyCatchLog v2. We added some cool stuff like automatically generating the sea conditions based on buoy data. Another cool feature is the ability to right click on the map to generate GPS coordinates. It is also a lot faster to enter catches. I logged my last fishing trip in the old version and it took me 3 mins 45 secs. This version took me 1min 3 secs for the exact same trip.

Go sign up and try to break it! Let me know what you find that is not working so we can fix it.

Thanks!

PS for those of you who have already registered, we have not migrated the old user data to the new version yet so you will have to make a new account.

Do you agree Alex? Haha.

Oh Wait....

Its Official - FLORIDA vs. OKLAHOMA

I know its about a month away, but damn it I'm excited! So what are your thoughts about the game?

Noles look like they'll have a pretty easy bowl game. I have no confidence whatsoever in teams from the Big Ten. FSU should destroy Wisconsin easily.

Also I'm pretty excited about the Cotton Bowl with Ole Miss facing off against Texas Tech. It will be interesting to see the outcome of that game, what with all the Texas fans saying we shouldn't be in the NC game because of our loss to #24 Ole Miss.

BCS

I am looking forward to this weekend in hopes that the BCS screwes things up. It could get real interesting if Missouri some how beats OU. However, what would happen if UF barely beats Bama?? I was looking at the BCS and noticed the computers have UF ranked 6th (probably because of the weak schedule compared to the Big 12 teams, which playing Bama should fix that). Would they get enough computer love to jump Texas?? One would think so certainly the human pollsters would put the SEC champ in 1st or 2nd, but would the computers? I mean if Bama wins it is done and done and if UF blows them out, which I can see happening it is probably done and done as well. Got to love the BCS.

Sunday FSU v UF in basketball.......

Florida over Florida State....once again

We converted our Florida State friend's dog into a Florida fan! Now she's cheering for the BEST team in FL, maybe even the nation! Go Gators!


Ava, Apple, and Albert - quite the threesome.

My T-Rae's Gettin Married!

For those of you (I think most of you) who know my old roomate and dear dear friend Tracy, she got engaged tonight! If you happen to talk to her or get the chance to drop her a message on Facebook or something wish her a very heartfelt congratulations!

Christmas Plans...

So I'm in the process of figuring out time off to come to B-Town for Christmas. So what is the deal for X-Mas? Parties, who is coming home etc...? I would like to plan my time accordingly so I can make as many events as I can!

Rivalry Week

Well it is finally here Rivarly Week. I do not know about you guys, but I am pretty excited. A chance for teams like Auburn and FSU to knock teams out of the National Championship and with a little luck (Maryland winning) go to a conference championship ourselves. Let me start off with first good luck Alex.

I know UF is playing some awesome football right now, but if we play like we did last Saturday against Maryland we have a shot. FSU has nothing to lose so hopefully we play balls to the wall. We just need to limit turnovers and not let Brandon James get a bunch of returns if those two things happen are chances increase dramatically. Oh yea we are undefeated this year when we actually have our full team playing (aka meaning nobody suspended). It is going to be fun that is for sure hopefully it is a good game. #4 BCS v #20 BCS may the best team win.....hopefully that is the Noles!!! F the GATES.....

PS Good luck this weekend Alex.....

Kickball

We had our second kickball game last night.  We won 4-3.  I think the beers we had beforehand had something to do with our win.  

Rory had the game winning kick and got an RBI out of it.  He also did something else NO OTHER GUY in the league has done.  I will let him tell you what it was.  Don't keep the people waiting Rory!

Snow?

Saw on the morning news that it looked like snow up in NYC? We are way above average here (83 today). Maybe some snow pics would get me in the holiday mood... whatdyasay nick? ;)

Thanksgiving

Who is going to make it to btown for Thanksgiving?

Surround Speaker Installation

Here's the end result. The speaker installation was pretty painless, and I must say they sound great. If anyone is in the market, I highly recommend monoprice.com's 8" in-ceiling speakers. They're only $50 a pair!

Happy Birthday Eric and Josh!

Have fun you old guys! Eric I'll see you tomorrow at your aftrenoon/early evening party... because I guess you have to go to bed? :) Love you!!

Texas Trip

So I went to Texas this past weekend for a little relaxation after the nightmare of an election cycle. The highlight of the trip, other than the alcohol and BBQ was playing flip cup with a bunch of FBI agents. One of the agents, George Piro, had the honor of spending 7 months interrogating Saddam Hussein. Here are a couple of pictures. Piro is the shorter guy with the glasses. All of his buddies are agents and also former Military Officers, amazingly of the 5, all 4 branches were represented. I went against the guy from the Air Force who was probably the worst player, but the biggest bad ass because he graduate from Halo School.

The Future of America

I guess some people know what they voted for.

Welcome to the USSA

The United Socialist States of America. For those so inclined, get up, go to work, and we will make sure you get the same allotment as the lazy slobs that brought this to pass.


How long until I can get one of those stickers that says: "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for him."

Here are 2 pics.  I will put more up later.

A Disgrace

So I am sure you all heard about the story from Pittsburgh where the chick claimed some black guy mugged her and craved a B on her face. Well it was a douche bag from Colgate who was pushing the story. The title links to an amusing blog post about him or click below.

Happy Birthday Bryan!

I'm sure you guys already got plenty stupid enough... just keep in mind, you're getting pretty old. Might not be able to party like you used to.

;)

Weekend

Well nobody has posted for a while so I figured why not. This weekend will be a football filled weekend for me. I am flying out to Tally tomorrow morning to pretend I am in college again for a weekend. Leighton will be joining me in watching FSU take on Va Tech which should be a great game. Then we are driving over to Jville on Sunday to take in the Browns vs the Jags which hopefully will be a good game. All and all it will be a weekend filled with tailgating, hanging out with family and friends and a SHIT TOWN OF BEER. Hope everybody has a good weekend and good luck to your teams and remember Cash Money's Motto....Drink till your throw up.....

GO NOLES!!!!!!! and GO BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS I am retarded excited about the Noles this weekend you have no idea.....this game could be another BIG step in the right direction.

Death Magnetic

Anyone heard Metallica's new album, Death Magnetic? I didn't even know it came out, but came across it in iTunes today. It turns out it's #1 on the Billboard rock albums chart, and it is freaking awesome! At least Adam, Bryan, and Alex should give this a listen, I'm not sure if anyone else is a fan. This album is the anti-St. Anger, getting much closer to the sound of Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.

Even Alex can catch fish...

.......When I take him fishing.

Pre-wiring Surround Sound

In the spirit of Jae's network wiring post, I thought I'd show you guys a wiring project that I just finished. I just got a new receiver (Onkyo TX-SR606), and wanted to pre-wire the room for 7.1 surround before I bought the surround speakers to make sure it could be done. Now that it's done, I plan to get 2 pairs of in-ceiling speakers for the surround and surround-back speakers.

My mom has been hassling me for these, so I figured this was as good a place as any...they aren't in really any good order since Blogger has a stupid app for uploading pictures, but here they are anyway.
