Yes it is beginning to be spring. I have cleaned the grill. I have been cooking dinner on it. I love this time of year. I hate winter. It is so dreary. Now it is warming up. The sun is shining more. Soon, it will be time for mowing the lawn and taking care of the garden. The Orioles and playing catch with the boys. And, of course, backpacking. I have a five day weekend coming up, so I am hoping that I can twist my brother’s arm and get him (and the dog) to go on a 2 day trip with me.

I had a killer day at work today. I have been in “training” for the last few weeks. Today was my first day “on my own.” I was able to close out several calls. One of them was very tricky. I could bore you with the details, but I like you. It had to do with the fact that computer would not boot with a USB printer installed and turned on. I found, in the CMOS settings, a “no boot” option for USB devices. Problem solved. Oops, did I just bore you with the details? Maybe I don’t like you as much as I thought.

Anyway, I love solving a problem. It was good to be out there working. I also went to the gym today, for the first time since January. Changing jobs and everything threw my schedule off and it doesn’t take much of an excuse for me to not go to the gym. It wasn’t too bad. I do feel it though. It will take a week or two of going to get back into the swing of it.

New job, good weather, a good workout. My mood is pretty good right now.
