WarP-Drive

The project we have been working at for my work is a speed controller for an electric motor. I haven't really been able to post many pictures about it because it wasn't released yet, but today I noticed the company we are working with posted a picture on their website. So, if it's on the world wide web then ya'll can see it too! Go to this link www.ngcontrols.com and it is the red thing on the side. I helped design all the red aluminum and the lexan cover. Fun project and its good to see it finally getting somewhere. The controller's name is the WarP-Drive (catchy huh). Our next controller we plan to call the starship enterprise.....

Today when I came home there was a huge bug meditating on our patio so I took a picture of his worship. Enjoy!

By the way, I ate some of those red bell peppers we have growing in our garden and they are HOT HOT HOT! I thought I was eating a jalapeno when I ate it in a fajita! I can handle a jalapeno when I'm expecting it but not when I'm expecting a bell pepper.

We went to Sara's cousin's wedding this week and got pictures of who? Ourselves.

This is a dart that I threw so well that it actually got stuck in another dart. I felt like Robin Hood after doing that although I have not started wearing tights.

Now that school is back in session we have missed being able to spend time together at night. During the summer we got to spend at least Saturday and/or Sunday together. Homework has overtaken that time together. I go to school at 8 and then at 10 at night I'm done with work and homework. Usually we spend that time watching a TV show like operation repo. Funny show by the way.

A couple weeks ago Sara went in for the first doctor visit at 12 weeks. They did an ultrasound and the baby is just fine. Can't tell the gender yet but I think it's a boy. Time will tell on that. She's nauseous every morning til around 11. The up-throwing has subsided for now. She's trying out some little breakfast shakes because she gets up and doesn't feel like eating but that's the only thing that takes away the nausea.

On Wednesday Sara accused me of spending more time with my study buddy than I do with her. To that accusation I plead guilty as charged. We spent 12 hours on one homework assignment this week. I invited her to come study with us and then we could spend LOTS of time together but she has politely declined.

Sara has gone through another job in the last week. She quit convergy's because they wouldn't let her reduce her hours then worked at a sushi place for a week and then they decided not to hire her (she wasn't even done with training).

Our garden is quite fruitful. We have tons of tomatoes. So much that we took a basket full of them to our neighbors. Our bell peppers are growing well but they look funky. A normal bell pepper is like 3 inches around and 3 or 4 inches long. These ones are 3 inches around but then an inch or two long. They look like little stubs. Our watermelon is probably 6 inches but we picked it today because it has stopped growing. We're planning to eat all 2 bites of it tonight.
