The End of one...The Beginning of another...

We are only hours away from the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006. How did your year turn out? Did you accomplish all of your goals? Do you have your goals lined up for 2006?

I had a fairly great year! I expect 2006 to be a better year! I was not able to complete all my goals for 2005, however. That just means i need to work harder in 2006 to make up for it. Finding Reason fell a little short in our goals. We had planned on recording 5 songs this year. We re-recorded a song already recorded. We did, however, start adding to our catalog of workable material. We have a few songs that are in various stages of work, some nearer completion than others. Perhaps we'll make our goal of five this year with several others to follow. Who knows?

I do have a few goals in mind for this next year, but just like last year, i'll keep those to myself. I'll post those accomplishments as they come to fruition.

So, for the good news of December. I have finally passed my certification sim. Now, I can become a real ADCO. I also did the last progress docking as a Hot OJT. What that means is that i did all the work the ADCO normally would, except I have a certified ADCO sitting nearby to take over if things go bad. That lucky ADCO had to do a lot of commanding to the vehicle for me. But it worked out well... Luckily things went perfectly nominal. I have a few more days of Hot OJT'ing ahead of me, then i'll start flying the vehicle on my own. It's been a very long road, but I finally came to the end of that road. Now I start what will seem like a new job. If you have NASA TV, take a quick peek every now and then and you might see me there. Perhaps i'll clue you in to when i'll be working.

It was a great Christmas this year and I have been enjoying my little vacation. I've been needing one for quite sometime now. Maybe this upcoming year, with Heather's graduation and Brandon and Jessica's marriage, I can take a few more days off.
So, stay tuned to HorelicaNet and you'll know how 2006 is going for me...

How did 2005 go for you? How will 2006 go for you?

Titanium Refrigerator

I'm fairly certain it's not made of titanium, but that's the finish on our new refrigerator. This new refrigerator is compliments of Best Buy's service plan. Well, i shouldn't say compliments, for I had to pay more for this nifty upgrade. But this new fridge has more than 3 cubic feet more space than my previous non-operating refrigerator.
Here are a few pictures:




Well, it doesn't quite go with the rest of our white appliances, but there is an easy remedy to that. We either move...or buy matching appliances. Or deal with the mismatch until the need arises for either of the former two.
