  Yesterday at 10:24 a new member was added to the family. My sisters had her first boy, Cian James, and I can't wait to get home and hold him (I mean shake his hand...jk). Thought I would do what I could to add to his scrapbook, and etched his name and date of birth into the sand.
  
  It turned out to be my best penmanship since 2nd grade, I guess the mini sand castle shovel brings out the best in me.

  Tags:    [edit]

  Just got to Oahu, and staying at the best beach in the world, Kailua Beach. Walk out the back yard and your smack dab in the middle of an amazing place. It is breathtaking, powerful, and stimulation overload all in one. it is definitely my favorite place. Anyway, I hope to locate some beautiful Koa wood to make some boards out of. It is an amazing wood that is simple and beautiful. Good quality Koa has an amazing curl to it, and has a 3D look. Check back as I will be posting pictures of what i find on the Island soon. Aloha and Mahalo

  Absolutely Stunning

  Just finished a very large 4 player down and back Black Walnut cribbage board. It is really really nice looking, the wood is gorgeous, it is extremely natural and rustic looking. It still has bark on it and an amazing light and dark grain pattern that changes from rounded and curly to wavy and straight. I has all the colors including different shades of gray between the light and dark wood variation.
  Its 20 inches long by 8 inches wide by 1.25 thick. Has a built in peg hole for all the 8 pegs and a nice peg plug to keep them from falling out. The pegs are custom made wood and are colored red, black, dark walnut, and natural. They complement and help to keep the board extremely simple and the focus on the Black Walnut board itself.

  This is one of my favorites for the simple beauty of this board alone. It has great character, size, simplicity, grain and color, and a natural and custom look that is stunning. It goes great with the look and colors of the pegs and peg plug, and is a beautiful board to play on. Its rough and refined all in one.

  Flat Tire

   » ‎ Things that go great with coffee, friends and waffles

  Tags:    [edit]

  Came home last night and thought that the car felt like it was riding a little rough, so i checked the tires and sure enough I had a flat tire on the rear passenger side. I was a little worried that I had been driving on it for a while and that the tires sidewall would have been ruined. So I filled it up this morning and to my surprise it held. Drove it to Schwabs and had them find out what was goin on, and I guess the problem was a nail. the really really great part about Schwabs though is that if you bought your tires from them (like me) then stuff like this and rotating your tires is free. And that is a really nice feeling. So needless to say I'm "On the road again"

  2 Player board

  Just finished making my first 2 player competitive style board yesterday. It measures 16L by 3.5W by 17/18 deep and is african mahogany. I made it larger to accommodate an ease of playing on it and I also spaced the peg holes a little farther apart. i like the look a lot and it takes away all confusion as each player has their own side of the board to peg on.

  I love how simple this style of board is. Its not busy at all, and I really like having the ability to play with up to 4 people. Just gives you the option, in case you have a big family or lots of friends who enjoy the game.

  More African Mahogany

  These are the other boards that I couldn't post below. they are all different in many ways, and all really cool and fun to play on. They are a great conversation piece and a must have if you are a leisurly game player or a coffee/tea shop regular. Cribbage is a game of both luck and strategy, but I think its the fact that the game is a great way to catch up, relax, have some fun, and get to know people that makes it such a fun game to play. It just makes doing all of this better when you have a beautiful custom board with which to do it.

  African Mahogany Cribbage Boards

  Here are a few African Mahogany Cribbage Boards i've finished. They are all different lengths and a couple different playing styles including a 3 player continuous board and my favorite which is the 4 player simple down and back style. Each board has very unique and beautiful grain patterns which makes each of the boards one of a kind. It also doesn't hurt the one of a kind idea since they are all hand made from rough lumber. I love the way this wood has a little bit of waviness and at some angles looks translucent.

  TREATED LIKE A # AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE

   » ‎ Things that go great with coffee, friends and waffles

  Tags:    [edit]

  You know....I went to a Private Christian University in California for a couple years and like anybody you do business with i had some minor issues in dealing with them, but they worked with me and we figured it out. If something came up financially they tried to help and work with me. I applied to Oregon State this summer and even though i did not take any classes I have been charged a matriculation fee of 300 which accrues 1% monthly until its paid off. I called different departments, talked with multiple people, and its eventually came to the conclusion that I will have to pay it. Ok. Then i went up to the campus today and there is another fee of 50+ dollars on my account. This is a collections fee for the matriculation fee. I was not even back in the state until late december and still have yet to take a single credit from OSU. But thats not what ticks me off about this collections fee. For one I don't understand why they get to charge a fee, because I have yet to receive anything over the phone, or by mail telling me to pay or trying to collect the money or even a warning about the collections fee up coming. And secondly The people I had spoken with told me that there would be no other fee associated with the matriculation fee other than the monthly interest. I am still waiting for my loans to come in so I can pay for school and the matriculation fee, but before I even get the money to do that they fine me again. The economy is terible, I havent taken a class, I talked with OSU staff about my situation, and the University still has the oddasscity to throw more charges on my back. This is what you get with government beaurocracy institutions. No Help, flexibility, service, and when tough times continue to get even more challenging they could care less and will just charge more to pay for their ever increasing administration, pay raises and other unnecessary crap. Im the one who would be paying thousands of dollars for them to give me a "well rounded eduacation." I am the one who would be paying for their services, you would think they would at least try to work for it and try to earn my business. Nah. It takes 2 weeks for them to even look at a note that was signed on the internet, not mailed or anything, that should be instant. This is such a small deal, but im not going to pay and support an institution like this. Why would I. There are many Universities who would appreciate my business and want me to attend. Where I would be treated like a customer and not a number at the bottom of the pile. I mean what do you think government run health care, or anything government run is like for that matter. We all have a choice, why would you ever give that up?

  I had a paper I just turned in for my Business Law class, but im not sure if the instructor will get it. It was due by noon today, but the whole COCC website has been down for some reason or another so I could not find any information about my instructor or class such as the syllabus or get onto blackboard. Any who, I have a record of the email if anything happens with regards to it not being turned in. A paper fortress!!!

  Happy Happy Birthday Daddio!!! had fun tonight goin out to dinner with the family minus one, but definitely brought here in via conversation and memories. Its weird how were all grown up now, and except for me have our own families and such. But thats the name of the game I guess. Its just Dad has moved from just being Dad to being grandpa and father-in-law now as well. Life just keeps getting more complicated and serious the older you get, but for this evening (and for me much of the time right now) we all got to just relax, spend time with each other, and just love and hangout with one another. And especially show Dad that we absolutely love him, and we appreciate him and what a blameless and Godly and strong charactered man and father he has been throughout our lives. Love you Dad. Happy Birthday Pop.

  Dinner Tonight?

   » ‎ Things that go great with coffee, friends and waffles

  Tags:    [edit]

  I haven't had much to eat today which kinda sucks, but hopefully I can make up for that with dinner after class tonight. Any Ideas? I am thinking bachelor food like a frozen burrito, or leftovers. Or maybe I'll be ambitious and actually make something good. I am leaning towards the later. It just sounds way better, especially on an empty stomach. except for the fact that it might take a little while to throw together. Wait a minute.......yep...Tomato basil soup with noodles and grilled cheese sandwitches definately is the winner.
