A new Toy...

After we put the Dog kennel together last weekend and the week before assembled the TV mount, I decided we need yet another tool. A decent miter/power saw to speed up this progress a bit. Using a handsaw just takes to long.

So today we went out shopping and got a new 10" Saw for 165$ instead of 450$. Because it was on sale and a part was missing from it. A simple wrench to adjust the blade, which turned out to be a 10mm Socket wrench. I got about 4 of them already, so not to worried about it.

Now I just need to create a plan to build the puppy house and get the wood.

Meeting in Hawaii

For the last couple of years now I wanted to travel to the state of Hawaii and thanks to a recent meeting I was finally able todo so and spend 5 days there.

Sadly I had not that much time to explore the things I wanted todo and forgot my contact lenes back in california. So not surfing/windsurfing or scuba diving for me.

So besides all the meetings to attend, developing quick software solutions on the fly and enjoying some great food. I did have time to take some pictures.

So Hawaii is definately quite nice and I do want to go back there sometime in the future, but I'm happy I didn't follow the standard stereotyp and got married or spend my honeymoon there.
