Day 87

I know it's not the most attractive or interesting picture but the mosquitoes are coming out finally. It also means that my 365 is still strong and starting into the spring.

Day 86

This whole week my little sister and other people from my old high school are on spring break in Italy. Part of this trip involved being in a broadcast papal audience in St. Peter's Square amidst thousands of other people from every part of the world. She is so lucky.

Day 85, Day 84, Day 83, Day 82, Day 81

I haven't been doing a good job with posting each day but I do have pictures for the last 4 days and today

Today, at Jittery Joe's I hung out with my friend Caleb Morton as usual. He was working on his English paper while sporting his new hipster glasses.

On Monday I didn't feel like going to CrossFit or doing anything for that matter. Instead I ordered 2 spicy chicken sandwiches at Chick-fil-a and ate both of them that afternoon. Then I took a much needed 7 hour nap.

Sunday, I bought some new toilet paper and my little brother caught something funny on the labels. I really hope that I can flush down the toilet paper that I'm buying. I guess we have to point it out to the stupid people.

Saturday was the wedding of Stephen Kump and Katie Lawrence. Stephen was, among many things, the leader of my bible study last spring. He is a Theta Xi brother and his new wife is an Alpha Chi Omega. It's so amazing how just less than a year ago he was only talking about dating Katie. I pray God blesses them with years of a happy marriage.

Friday my coworkers and I went to "Momma Goldberg's" restaurant for lunch for the first time in about 2 months. Here Greg and Stephen show how their happiness and joy by eating one of Momma's famous nachos

Day 80

Today while driving to ultimate frisbee, I saw all of this smoke coming from the south east. Then an ambulance came driving by in the opposite direction most likely to Coliseum Northside Hospital. I hope everyone is alive and is being taken care of. 

Day 79

Today at work, as the youngest worker and individual with the lowest pay grade, I received every engineering co-op's dream: BRAND NEW DUAL MONITORS

Day 78

Today, I got on facebook and something caught my eye. Now I know that this is still common and that it happens a lot in this big world but I think it's rare that it happens to an old acquaintance who shared a music teacher with me during high school. I read it and I knew immediately that it was my picture for today. Names and pictures blocked in red to protect their identities. Oh and my facebook language is in Pirate. 

Day 77

Today, I took out the family pet Alex for a walk. Weather was in the 80s with a nice breeze so much warmer than it has been. I was getting impatient so I we sprinted home which made him thirsty and hyper. Sorry but looking adorable and desperate behind those diamonds won't help you.

Day 76, Day 75, and Day 74

Today I felt like doing this trippy, weird picture of screen shots within screen shots of my desktop. My desktop background is really a grinning face made of different CrossFit equipment. 

 Saturday a couple of us from Mercer Newman Catholic Ministries (NCM) went to Savannah, Georgia and attended daily mass - on that day the Solemnity of St. Joseph - at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. We also had lunch at Clary's, toured River Street, and almost went to the Tybee Island. 

Friday night before the Savannah day trip was spent playing Texas Hold'em. We didn't bet any real money but just played for kicks and giggles.

Day 73

Today, my dad's new iPad 2 came in. He was already using it and had everything from his old one imported into it when I got home. This one is lighter, thinner, faster, and has FaceTime among other new features. 

Day 72

Today, I had Lean 101 training in a separate building on base and I came across a chair for the handicapped that travels upstairs. It makes me wonder how many of these are installed on base. I would've ridden it if it was working.

Day 71

Today I got haircut 2 of 2011. Now maybe people at work will think I'm at least 18 instead of 16 or 17. 

Day 70

Today is 03.14.2011 which means it's PI DAY!!! To celebrate this day instead of making us pies Howard at North Macon CrossFit created the "Happy π Day" WOD which consists of 7 different types of exercises done 14 times each for 3 rounds. It sucked. 

Day 69

It's Day "69" lolwut...Today my little sister's friend found something unique in her goldfish: two goldfishes locked together and forever in the act of doing it. I lawled and I knew that this had to be my picture of the day. Thanks Mary Frances

Day 68

I was walking the dog and I looked up and saw the colors and leaves coming from this one tree. Another sign that spring is 9 days away.

Day 67

In the methods of CPI (continuous process improvement) there are many tools an Industrial Engineer will encounter throughout his or her career. One tool is an A3, an 11" by 17" sheet of paper with 8 or 9 blocks used to solve process problems. Being the witty and Techy IE co-op that I am, I made an A3 consisting of all the inside jokes and humor between my fun co-workers and I. Take note, not many can understand the complex processes we strive to improve.

Day 66

Today, my little sister made some lemon pound cake. They are for her boyfriend. Even though I'm not much of a lemon person, they were delicious.

Day 65 and Day 64

In my never-ending quest to eat better and to not end up like many American adults, I ordered the "Eat this not that diet" book for a cheaper price on amazon than what I saw at Barnes and Noble. I hope I follow it well. 

I saw some ramen noodles at Kroger and yes this stuff is cheap and bad for you. Other than being almost a third of fat calories it has over 1000 mg of sodium which is half of what you need in a day. That makes me cringe.

Day 63

Today was special in all things meat. In the morning someone brought in some smoked sausages of mild, medium, and hot flavors. For lunch we all got a treat with some delicious roasted ham. I saved my pre-made sandwich for tomorrow and had a protein rich lunch. Yum.

Day 62 and Day 61

My Mercer friends are really an awesome bunch. I'm always welcome at Tom's house which is in my neighborhood. They're all going on a cruise which I was invited to, but it was too short notice to tell my boss. So while they're off in the Caribbean, I'll be working and waiting for them to get back.

Saturday night we had another fire going despite some drizzle. Eventually it got really bad so we all went inside. My jacket still smells like a camp fire. 

With everyone on the cruise, Courtney asked me to keep her Betta Fish, Diels some company in case he passes. According to Courtney, Diels is either constipated, depressed or both. He's named after the Diels-Alder reaction in organic chemistry. 

Day 60

Sweet. Another month of keeping up with Project 365. Today the Lean Team and I went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and got a visit from the cow. It knows how to pose in a picture better than Greg. 

Day 59

Today my squadron at work had a breakfast for this man Scott Warner, a fellow industrial engineer. He has been in the Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG) since the mid-80s after college and now it's time for him to move on. Goodbye Scott. It's been great working with you for the short time I've been at Robins, so God speed to you over at SMXG. 

Day 58

Again I lead such an interesting life that I have too many pictures from which to choose - not. However whilst outside walking the dog I saw weeds on our front lawn at the base of a lamppost. Spring is in the air!

Day 57

On the way to the dermatologist's office I wondered if I would be doing anything fun for Spring Break 2011, or however many days I could get off. The answer was very straightforward and disappointing.
