This weekend we returned to the cabin. There were a couple more burst pipes since last time, due to a second cold spell we had recently. Pat installed some new light fixtures, and I set up something that I hope will reduce the chance of burst pipes in the future.

This was one of those days where things just clicked togther for me, and I had to share it with you. I was just reading a book called Alpha Project Managers, by Andy Crowe. The first thing the author mentions that distinguishes the best project managers is that they really love their job. They look forward to coming to work and they are less anxious about work when not on the job.

This weekend we proved that a bunk bed can fly, and we did it without FAA certification. It also taught me you can have too much confidence in your abilities, to the point that it blinds you to the obvious.

Rusty Switch

For New Year's weekend, we went to our cabin again. After previously fixing the plumbing, this time we decided to repair a light switch in the carport that was long overdue.

New Year is a good time to look back of the year just passed. I was looking through some of the many photos I took in the last year, and I thought I would share some of them with you here.

2007 is rapidly approaching or perhaps has already arrived, depending upon when you are reading this. What are you going to do differently in 2007? What would you like to change in your life? Are you going to join weight watchers, or sign up for a gym membership, or come up with some new-year's resolutions? Do you think you are going to succeed this time?
