About…

Yes, this is what I have been about for a couple of months.  I have been getting some requests for Open Audit and would like to see if there are any possible improvements for Edit Document Fields .

Merry Christmas, my gift to all

This afternoon my twin boys (6) and I made some Carmel Popcorn for our church's Wednesday night program.  This year my wife is heading up the worship for kids 12 and younger and I do the activity part of the night.  Tonight will be a little different, being the last night be for Christmas.  We will be having some activities, games, making a card to send over sees, and having Carmel Popcorn!!!!!

So my gift to everyone is the receipt for making Carmel Popcorn.

16 cups yellow popcorn (don't use white and I use about 18-20 cups)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Place popcorn into a brown grocery bag.  Microwave all ingredients (minus popcorn), on high for 2 minutes or until bubbly.  3 times for 1 minute each stirring in between, stir well.   Pour over popcorn, fold down the bag then shake.  Microwave on high for 1 minute, then shake.  2 times for 30 seconds shaking each time.  Dump on 2 cookie sheets let cool and break apart.

Enjoy & Merry Christmas

Backup Solution

I am looking for a backup solution for a couple of (small) companies.  I am currently looking at either finding a web based solution or creating my own solution at home.  Yes, the better solution would be to have an outside company handle the backup, but  they do not want to have big monthly expenses.  I currently use Cobian Backup which has everything that I need and is simple to use.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

What a play

Don't comment on football much (if ever) but tonight's game had an amazing finish.  I was impressed on good review from the announcers.  Yes, Bret has had is issues but overall her is a likeable guy.

Bike Ride VI

Week of records, some good some good, but still exercising!!!!  This week a couple of my boys and I took their little sister to the gas station to get some ice cream.  This was a not so good record for me getting only 8 MPH but I am sure a record for my two 6 year olds.

This week, I was talking to my brother-in-law about possibly biking in the Titletown Bike Tour .  Since he is a cyclist, he was up for the 100K (62 miles). This was not what I had in mind but always up for a challenage, but am I up for the training?  As you can see 10 miles a couple of times a week is not going to get me ready for 62 miles.  My speed also needs to increase to keep up the the in-law.  So today I tried increasing my miles, so I doulbed it!  A little agressive but it was actually a really good ride.  The really good news is I did not loose much speed!!!!!  Keep you posted as test the waters to see if I really want to train for this.

Oops

Over a month without a post, sorry.  I have been busy, at one time I had 5 extra computers in the house being worked on.  Which ment an upgrade for me, my kids, and server machines!!!!!  I am still biking but not as much with the weather, but have been doing some elliptical training.  I do miss being outside but still getting my 40 minutes in 3 times a week.  My schedule is still full doing work for some other people.

Please keep my nephew in your prayers, he just had surgery for glaucoma .  If your stomach can handle it a video same type of surgery.  Praise the Lord the surgery went well and was a success!
