Richardson Corporate Challenge 5K

The Richardson corporate challenge was today and Stacey actually joined the Tek Team.  The weather was still a bit warm & humid for me, but still pulled in an OK time of 20:15, it was 26th over all with the winner finishing at an amazing 17:35 (and he is over 40)  Stacey really sucked it up and pushed it to a 34:25 time, next year she is targeting under 30 minutes (she does not know yet) .

The rest of the Tektronix team did really well.  The men’s side of the team changed a lot as David left the company and Chris Ulrich was traveling, we were fortunate to have Holger push it a bit faster and a few new recruits to the team added some speed.

The women’s side did exceptionally well with Fiona blazing it in for a silver in her age group at 20:47.  Since Ulrich bailed on us this year he sent his wife to keep the name alive in the standings and she finished second for the Tektronix women at 27:23.  Anamika wanted to show sustaining does more than engineering and pushed it to a great time of 33:44, beating her 2008 time of 35:01.

Highland Village Ballon Festival

Up! Up!

Well it was not quite the movie (which I have not seen yet) but on Friday the 14th we attended the Highland Village 22nd annual balloon festival.   We met up with the Lantz’s and Bendar’s (otherwise known as Andrew’s friends and their parents) to check out the sights.

It was a beautiful evening with the temperature in the low 90’s and a cool breeze, amazing what a decade in Texas will get you to consider “cool”.  The event was very nice with some food from Steak Kabobs to Ice Cream and Adult beverages.  I had to ensure I did my part to support the local Lions club and sample a number of the items on the menu.

The nice thing about this event is how close you are allowed to get to the balloons.  I have to admit that this was my first balloon event and it maybe normal, but it was sure cool to see them close up.

We got to see some of the balloons setup, it is amazing on how small they are when they are deflated, and how quick the can be filled up and then launched.

Bigfork, MN – Part 2 – 4th of July

The 4th of July was gorgeous on the lake, it was about 75 – 78 degrees and all sun.    We enjoyed cruising the lake on the pontoon boat, doing some fishing and enjoying a few adult beverages.  Uncle roman still needs to show up and though down some serious bank and rent a kick ass speed boat.

We did have my mom’s cousin joined us with her kids and their ski boat so we did get some tubing and water skiing done.  Stacey still is a big wimp and has not tried tubing or water skiing.   I think I will have to find a boat to rent in Dallas so she cannot use the excuse the water is too cold (the water was 69 degrees).  

Andrew went on the tube with Megan and we did a slow cruise of the lake.  I was on another tube right next to them and got to jump around and have some fun also. Andrew had a blast and I think he has a good future in extreme sports. He wanted to go faster and was bouncing around like a pro.

Add exercise in your daily routine to maintain a discount cialis no prescription healthy weight.
I went out of the ski boat and got some great action shots of Lucas taking some good falls off the tube… lots of fun was had by all.   

Stacey and my mom finished off three boxes of red wine (4 bottles each box) plus two cases of Leinenkugel light and few bottles of white wine over the course of the week we were here.  I think Stacey is going to have to let her liver dry out a few days before she starts playing with her friends back home.

Bigfork, MN – Part 1

After a fun trip to Chicago we made it up to the northwoods and found out someone forgot to turn the heat on.  When we arrived in Bigfork, MN it was about 50 degrees (10 degrees for our international readers) which is a bit cooler then we are used to in Texas.

The funny thing is I was searching on what to do while up here and found a Finnish festival but it did not start until July 25.  Considering the Finn’s think 80 degree’s is hot I guess this weather is what we should expect more often, my old colleagues used to melt when coming to Dallas.

My Dad, Andrew and I decided to take a quick canoe trip down the Bigfork river on July 1st.   It is amazing it takes almost 4 hours to go 10 miles on a river.

Although, the effect of this kamagra oral jelly is just what you are looking daveywavey.tv cialis canada prescription for.

It’s also a condition viagra ordination that can be treated.

On the 3rd the boys took the boat down to Turtle Lake to get it ready for the 4th activities and do a little fishing.   It is amazing when I think getting into the mid 70’s is warm, we are going to melt when we get home for sure.

Tomorrow should be fun on the lake again for the 4th of July.
