Nothing much going on...just movies, and a few drinks! 2010 was a busy year. We did a lot of traveling, and had a great year!

Christmas Lights - 60 of 365
Luckily some people still have their lights still up. We have a few houses that look great.
What Was I Thinking? - 59 of 365
I finally printed my photos from my first 365. When I got them printed they were out of order so I needed to go through all of them to get them organized! I missed 5 photos, and still need to get labels. I am going to number them, and have what I wrote that day on the back.
YUM - 58 of 365
My wife's grandparents got us an Omaha Steaks Gift Box for Christmas. They are really good, and the are pretty easy to cook. I hope that they keep this tradition going! :)

More Snow? - 56 of 365
After a two hour delay in Minneapolis, because of weather in Atlanta we finally made it home safety. After getting our bags and walking to the car this is what we saw! Just had to wait for it to melt off and then head home. We had a great trip.

Christmas Eve Shopping - 54 of 365
Shopping at the Mall of America. We rode the light rail to the mail. We rode by the Metrodome and saw it without it's inflated roof. Then we finished the day with our picnic and a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Early Christmas Present! - 51 of 365
One of the guys at work got an early Christmas present! Not too bad! A Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster. Practicing panning, and am trying to figure out how to get this effect without over exposing the photo.

Mini's of my Fav's - 49 of 365
Football, Frisbee, and Foto's! Yeah I know...Photos. But what a great Sunday. Disc golf in the morning, football in the afternoon, and a late night photo for the blog. Food fits in there somewhere to!
Closed for the Holidays! - 48 of 365
Here are the latest survival straps that I have made. I hope I can take a break for a while. I made all of these today, and my hands are wanting a break! 9 in one day, I think that is a record.

Lots of Knots - 46 of 365
After making about 30 paracord bracelets, I have lots of small pieces of cord left. So I make a few key chains, with Money Fist Knots, and Rattle Snake Tail Knot. Here are the different knots I know how to tie; Solomon Bar, Snake Bell Bar, Dragon's Tongue, Monkey Fist, and the Rattle Snake Tail.

HDR Homework - 45 of 365
We had to take HDR (High Dynamic Range) images for our assignment. I am not a really big fan of these photo's because the of the tones, and they tend to not look real. The watermark on the photo is from the trail software that I used, called Photomatix. I was pretty happy with how this image came out.

How To - 44 of 365
Man! I have been making these for a little over a week. My hands are hurting! I have made 20 and still have more to make before Christmas. That 20 doesn't even count the ones I have had to redo because the are too small!
Ways to Wii - 43 of 365
My wife won a Wii Fit! We have had our Wii for about 2 or 3 years now, and it is crazy all the different types of remotes that go to the Wii. But we enjoy playing it.

Souvenirs from the Road Trip - 42 of 365
We had a great trip. We got to see both of my grandparents and visit a bunch of family. Here are few things I picked up on the way back from Virginia. Peanuts from the farm, Sun Drop (because I can't find it here), and some customized dyed disc for Disc Golf.
What the... - 41 of 365
Crazy things happen on the farm; at least to a city slicker. While we were visiting we walked out to leave and saw one of dogs with a deer head.
The Promise Land - 40 of 365
It was an unexpected visit, but I was glad that we got to go. This is my Papa's Farm. It has been in the family for over a 100 years.

Paracord - 37 of 365
I saw these survival bracelets online and wanted to buy one. After seeing that it was 25 dollars, I decided not to. Then a buddy at work told me that they had online instructions on how to make them. So here are a few that I made. Thanks YouTube!

Do You Fondue? - 34 of 365
Not the greatest photo. But it is a family tradition to go and eat at The Melting Pot. A great dinner to talk and catch up. We had a great dinner.
Warm by the Fire - 33 of 365
After a long week it was nice to drive up to see my parents, and sit by the fire. It is starting to get colder here!

Rainy Night - 29 of 365
My photo assignment for the week has been Night Photography. I was trying to get some refecltions on the ground from the rain. I rushed because of the rain, but if I were to go back I would change to a faster shutter speed.

This is why... - 21 of 365
This is why I play Disc Golf. There is nothing better than getting up early in the morning and going out to play when no one else is on the course. Plus it is just nice to be outside. And we have had some great fall weather!
Getting Ready - 20 of 365
We are going to have a full house over the next two weeks! Just getting everything cleaned and ready.

Fast Buddy! - 17 of 365
This was an assignment for my photography class. Panning. Pan with the subject to blur the background, and try to keep the subject in focus. Buddy wasn't in great focus but I still liked this photo.

What's Wrong Here? - 15 of 365
Monday Night Football! Notice the jersey to the right, it is an old Eagles jersey! Hahaha. It was a gift from my wife's grandparents, after the Redskins signed McNabb. Looks like he is going to be a Skin for awhile. Not a bad payday...40 million guaranteed.
ADGO Membership - 14 of 365
Not a bad deal for 15 bucks! I got the disc, lunch, and to play two rounds of Disc Golf. First round I tied for 3rd, and the the second round was not good at all.

Park Preview - 13 of 365
The county has purchased this land to use as a park, and today they held a preview to show it off to the public. I met with a few people involved to try and incorporate disc golf within the park, but didn't get any real good feedback. Oh well got to keep on trying. Next, Public Hearings.
Keeping Score - 12 of 365
Keeping score during a round is not always the easiest thing to do. I have tried an iPod App, and three different score cards. But the one on the top left seems to work the best. The typed version is from a Google Doc, and it is where I keep all of my scores.
