Tonya Sick, Computers Patched and other stuff

Tonya came home really sick yesterday and slept all the rest of the day until when I went to bed, then she got up. I have no idea how late she stayed up as I was really tired.
Tuesday is the day Microsoft releases patches so Wednesday is the day that the WSUS server of mine sends out patches to all the computers. Had to run around and help people reboot their computers and make sure all the machines get turned on so that they patch. Finished that this morning with my public access computers; they have a software lock on them, so I have to unlock them to patch them. Tonya got to do it at her school; they don't pay her enough.
Taylor had Girl Scouts last night. They meet at the Tonaquint Nature Preserve on the other side of town. It used to be really nice and surrounded by trees, but it is right next to the Santa Clara trickle of water that for some reason last winter became a raging river so all of the trees are gone. I hadn't been to the park since the flood and it was quite a shock to see.
Due to SEP's Anje has been with us most of the time in the afternoons. Shaylie has been very happy about that.
Tomorrow is a holiday for work, so I am probably going to go help Tonya at her school.

1300 Miles

I passed the 1300 mile mark on my bike this morning. With the new rim and stainless steel spokes, I am hoping that I won't have to take it to the shop every couple of weeks like I have been. I am sure that 2000 miles for the year is now out of the question, but I am pretty sure that next year it will be easy to achieve. With the new road next to the bike trail, I can easily get my long rides in all of the time.

Daddy-Daughter / Mommy-Daughter Night

3 months ago, Taylor came up with an idea on the first Monday of the month to have a daddy-daughter night and moomy daughter night and each month we trade off. Tonight Shaylie and I had our night again. We went to her absolute favorite restraurant in the world, McDonald's :-D She played in the playplace for quite a while.
We then went to see "March of the Penquins" at the dollar theater and got a small popcorn. Shaylie got a little bored with the movie, until the babies started walking around, then she couldn't stop laughing. To end the night, we went to Arctic Circle to get ice cream cones. It was a very fun night.
Tonya and Taylor went out to dinner at Applebee's and then went to see Dreamer. Then Taylor took them to Arctic Circle to get shakes. They had fun also.
P.S. Bonus points to guess who had the cheaper dates ;-) Extra points to guess exact amounts ;-)

Interesting Day!

It has been a busy day. Last night, Tonya hit something in the road that popped our tire, so we took the tire off to take it to the Tire Pro's so that it could be fixed. However, the battery in our Toyota has been dead for a month, so we had to jump the car to get it to the shop. We replaced the battery and got the tire patched. We put the tire back on the van, so now we have two cars again. We also cleaned the house today.
As we were eating lunch, Tonya heard a loud noise but just ignored it (you know, lots of kids on the streets). A minute later, a lady comes knocking on our door saying that there is a car in our front yard. The neighbor's car that had been on their driveway jumped the blocks and rolled down the driveway, across the road and into our yard! Thankfully, none of the kids were out there went it happened. It had to have been going pretty fast to get as far as it did. Here are the pictures:

Halloween Picture

Here are the costumes for the night:

New Page

I have always been bored with the default template that we were using with our web page, so I tweaked it a little. I realize that it doesn't change any of the format, but I like the look of it a little better. Now that I know what I am doing with the template, I may change it a little more often.

P.S. and yes, I will work on the halloween pictures soon. ;-)

Finally Upgraded

I have upgraded our Blog software to 1.5.2. I also got rid of the polls, as they were not as secure as my older poll program and someone was spamming (plus I could never think up a decent poll that anyone in the family would care about) Work is starting to calm down again, so I may have time to actually do things that I need to get done.
