It's grilling season and I bet we could all use some awesome burger recipes. Now if we could only get some nice weather up here in God's Frozen Tundra. Oh by the way, it snowed pretty much all day yesterday.

Here are some pictures from the small celebration that Yuko and I had for Miyabi's 1st birthday. We decided not to have a larger party and invite people has she is really too young to have memories of the event and turnout can be ify. :-)

Happy Birthday Miyabi. It had been an awesome year with you in our family! Pictures to come...

I found this manual covering the basics of food storage and some might find handy.

It has been absolutely nasty here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota. It managed to snow for a large portion of the day without any accumulation. That is about the only goods thing that did happen with the weather. I did spend some time out in the garage, very little, grabbing some scooter parts that needed to be painted. The plastic on the Stella leaves a lot to be desired and seems to pretty much disintegrate when DOT 4 brake fluid is split on it. Not that I would know about that. :-(

Has anyone turked before? A mechanical turk is defined as:

"The name Mechanical Turk comes from "The Turk", a chess-playing automaton of the 18th century, which was made by Wolfgang von Kempelen. It toured Europe beating the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. It was later revealed that this 'machine' was not an automaton at all but was in fact a chess master hidden in a special compartment controlling its operations."

What turking consists of today is a service that Amazon.com where turkers can do simple tasks that computers can not. I have work a couple of hours and have made about 10 bucks....

I have done it yet again, I have procrastinated many, many days and months not posting here. Well things are crazy around the house with my classes and Yuko is really to deliver at any time. Daichi is sure growing big and talking a lot. I will post pictures, I promise.

Well it has been awhile since I last posted here. I started my continuing college education again. I just got to get it done with! I hate making that monthly payment for the piece of paper that I haven't received yet.

In other news, we got a good 4 inches of snow today. It is about time! I am sure that we are going to get dumped on before too long. I am sure it is going to be an interesting day on the roads with people doing 70mph without reguard for anyone else....

On a lighter note, here are some pictures of Daichi.

Friday is here, Yippie! What a week! I am still recovering from yesterday's early morning start at work. Things went pretty well with the migration that I did. There a some more things to do on Monday as we try not to do anyhting that may break on Fridays. We really don't like working on the weekends.....
