I guess this pen must have fallen out of my pocket…?

I found it, in rather sad shape, out at the end of our driveway.  Good news, the space pen refill is still good, so I just swapped out the outer shell with a fresh one and I’m ready to roll.



Zoe makes a pretty cute Christmas tree dog I’d say!

Our snowy house back in late 2000

It was pretty early to have such a heave snowfall.

Meanwhile, Itty Bitty is not so patiently waiting for me to finish breakfast.

She sits "with" me most mornings, but this is usually about as close as she gets. Haha.  She's such a cute and tiny little cat.  I could stuff her in my backpack and take her along on my trip with me…?

Zoe’s patiently waiting for me to finish lunch and go on my walk around the property.

Back in 2000 it looks like we’ve finished out trip to Switzerland…

…and we've decided to celebrate by buying a European car.  This was my new Passat.  I did like that one a lot! If I remember right, that coincided with my promotion to controls engineering manager at work.

Andy’s boss’ house is looking pretty Christmas

Chipster Dufus. Raising the alarm or calling his friends?


 

I finally ran across these gems in my retro blogging…

Here it is, when Julie and I ran off the side of a mountain!  That's her in the upper left.  I went first so I could land and capture her coming down after.  I took the ones on the top and my pilot took the ones on the bottom.  What a great ride, view and memory!

The wall on the building next door to my favorite BBQ joint.

Peg Leg Porker.  I just thought the mural and the door made a great pic under the blue sky.

Switzerland in 2000, Nashville last week, Times Square yesterday…

Can you keep up?!  Back in the nearly present, I was repping the Cognex colors during my visit to the Nashville technical center that falls under my team now.  I loved the fall colors I could enjoy during my video calls.

Is the ping-pong of travel updates past and present getting to you yet?!

Back in Switzerland in 2000, Julie and I are headed up the mountain passes to get a view and to jump off.  This is just a little of the beautiful valley and distant Alps we were treated to along the route.
