Yum! Julie adapted a recipe (didn't have any of the major components of the sauce in the middle, so she made something up) from one of the boys favorite cooking shows. You pull off a leaf and then suck the "meat" off the base. Yummy! We couldn't stop eating until we were laying on the floor... :)

Lego Kid
Andy is a VERY good Lego instruction follower. He built these cars, the truck and trailer with me, but all I did was watch! He seems to be able to follow the directions w/o even thinking about it.

Door Knocker
I'll give you one guess which one of the monkeys hammered the screw driver into the board... When I asked A--- what it was, he said, "a door knocker". What he means is a door knob...
Touching the sky
Johnny finally coordinated all the right movements to swing as high as he wants. Now he says he is touching the sky, and that he is going to swing forever!
Dinner
3 tickets to the ball game: $0
Dinner at the park: $25!
Sitting in between your boys for 9 innings: Pricele$$! ;)

I can!
Johnny was convinced that he could role this ball home from the ball game the other night! He eventually figured out it might be "glued" down. This was only after I proved it by showing him that even I couldn't move it

Working
Well, here's a shot of the line I'm working on. It has about 14 stations, 8 robots, etc. Fun stuff. I think I've worked on 6 of the robots and about that many camera/vision applications.

Jacked up...
I wouldn't get too near this truck which is part of a construction site near my mom and dad's.
Hey batter!
You are what you see. This was Johnny for about two days after seeing the baseball game. He actually hits pretty good. His stance isn't quite conventional.
Andy!
He's a fun little guy. We are just about to put on our rally caps, down by two in extra innings...

"The number game"
The boys playing the ring toss game that was Grandma Morey's but made by my Dad's grandfather. I remember having just as much fun with it as a kid.

Well, maybe if you didn't do it during your play time, it wouldn't seem that way...!? ;)

Out for the day
The boys with their new coats (and Johnny's new belt fashioned from one of mine, much to his delight!). Cute, big guys.

Start 'em young!
We're watching Codie today and we took him to Waffa with Andy. They already know him up there. It's nice to see that Josh and Stef are raising him right! ;)

Power Plant Sneak Pic
Everytime I come back from Cincinnati I want to stop and take a picture of this power plant. It is right near the KY/IN border. Trouble is, there's no place to stop on the road. I'll have settle for this mobile phone pic, I guess.
Taking too long!?
I guess Spot Puppy thought I was taking too long. He's hit the gas pedal and jumped up to drive for himself!!!!
On the way home from Cinci.

Ski in one easy lesson
I was in the Austrian Alps... I ran into an Austrian friend of mine... He insisted I try his ski equipment. I have to say he was a great teacher. This is one of my first attempts up the tow rope, and then letting gravity do her work...
Iskender Kebap
If you go to Germany with a Turkish colleague, you will be happy to have him take you to a Kebap shop for Alexander the Great Kebap which is what this is. Meat, bread, garlic yogurt, YUM!

Fast!
I skipped the train ride back to Munich and hitched a ride with our French regional sales manager. It was better. A nice Audi, the AutoBahn, no speed limit... :) Good thing I wasn't driving...

Looking for skiers
I think Spot Puppy was trying to see if he could see any people skiing on the mountain today? This is where I found him this morning. :)

Bucket of trash
That is the translation, almost, of the traditional Austrian meal we had tonight on our Triolean outing. We are in the state of Triol, so do as the Triols do... We ate dinner in a 400 year old building complete with a tour of the original house in which I was about 1.5 feet too tall... This is my dinner in a wheel borrow

Puppy meeting
Well, we started our training presentations. I've set up our gauge control demo while my colleague talks about them. Spot Puppy was helping me, but he kept behind the gauge so nobody knew he was helping! :)

Who?
Who is this man, and where did he get his skis...? When in Austria, do as the Austrians! But first find a nice one to borrow from. Thanks Christian!!!!! :)
What a day!
It's -7 degrees C which is about 20F. But with just a T-shirt and fleece pull over, the sun keeps me warm, if not HOT. :) I'm going further up now to hike. I got distracted by skiing!
End of the day
Well, the lifts stop running, we've had a bit of refreshment, we're heading back down. The snow slowly melts from the sun on these skis

I'm glad I stayed up and got my presentation all ready on the plane. It's Sunday, I'll count this as going to church and I'll head up to "Winter Wander" as they call it here.
