How I Hate Apple

I hate them for so many reasons, but NONE more than the arrogance that they are such 'innovators.'  Mr. Higher than God Steve Jobs, recognized as a god...but just take a look at these things...and that's just some of their 'stolen' things...

Sheetz Fail

Oh Sheetz...first the BSOD on one of the gas pump menus, now a  'login with CTRL-ALT-DELETE' on a TOUCHSCREEN.  Only windows...

Major Roadtrip

Didn't get much time to blog last week, as I went on a day long trip to Bristol, TN.  One of my coworker's mother passed away, so I went up for the viewing.  Pretty long day, but saw lots of neat things.  In the picture is Pilot Mountain, which I hope we will all visit soon.

Munzees

So we stumbled upon something I think we can all enjoy...or at least Lucy, Myra, and myself.  It's a game similar to geocaching called Munzee.  You actually have a QR code (those squarish UPC looking things) that you scan with your smartphone and then you get points.  Munzees are everywhere too!  We found three at Honeycutt Park, and now we're on the lookout.  Myra and I found three today at Falls Village and behind the Six Forks K-Mart.  Then the three of us deployed our first three today along the Greenway.  Pretty fun!

Skate Queens!

Yeah, we went roller skating, and spent more time at the games.  But at least it was skeeball...

New Boat at the Flanigans

Went over to Kerry' folks yesterday for a cook-out.  Got to ride in their new pontoon boat--pretty fun!

Johnstown Inclined Plane

Also got a trip up the Inclined Plane this trip.  Pretty fun--been awhile--since Summer Camp.  The whole weekend was free too.

Ahh...Pittsburgh...

So you see how you reserve parking places in Pittsburgh?  You put out chairs.  I guess the logic is people will be too lazy to move the chairs.

More at Idlewild

Rollo Coaster

Another trip, with some Idlewild Rollo Coaster love!  This time Myra rode the Rollo Coaster for the first time.  As you see , we had the front seat.  So neat--I asked Myra if she would put her hands up, and she said no.  Then once we crested the lift hill, those hands went up.  Then we ran to get back in line a second time, and those hands went up again!

Lots of August

Been quite busy again.  Trip to PA, some various tasks...life is good, but busy!  We enjoyed our trip to PA...we'll share some images of our trips to the Inclined Plane and Idlewild, among other things.
