Week 29 of 52: Locks, All Ford Show, Fremont Troll

One, or more new things per week for the 2013 year...

Week  29 of 52 (July 15^th, 2013 to July 21^st 2013): Locks, All Ford Show, Fremont Troll.

                This week has brought a lot of “firsts” or at least more than I have been encountering for a while now! This weekend I was able to attend the All Ford Show in Bellevue, Washington. See the Fremont Troll in Seattle, Washington and the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle, Washington.

                My favorite car at the show was a one of, completely custom Mustang shown in the picture below and of course the nifty looking Golf Cart!

                It was really neat to see the Locks, watching them really helps you to appreciate the amazing engineering that went into the Locks and how quickly them can raise and lower water to assist in the boat elevators. The Fremont Troll was definitely cool to see, very neat art for sure!

The Locks, boats are pulling in and waiting for the doors to close to fill up with water!

How cool is that Mustang Golf Cart?

Ok, I saw this guy holding these dogs at the show, I pretended to take a picture of a car, couldn't help myself. It was hillarious!

Week  28 of 52 (July 8^th, 2013 to July 14^th, 2013): Going to the Gym EARLY

                This past week I decided to try going to the gym before work… so I woke up at 4:45 am to get to the gym by 5:00 am and then worked out for an hour, came home showered and was to work by 7:00 am. It was very rewarding (even though it was super early) I felt like it changed the way I felt the entire day. Here’s to trying new things!

Week  27 of 52 (July 1^st, 2013 to July 7^th, 2013): The Lazy Man, Iron Man.

                Well I am certainly not a genius-billionaire-playboy philanthropist…. But I am going to work on being a “Lazy Iron Man”. This week I started a Lazy Man’s version of an Iron Man that will go for the month of July.

·         26.2 Miles of Running/Walking

·         112 Miles of Biking

·         2.4 Miles of Swimming

I have already gotten a pretty good start, but definitely have a long way to go! Here’s to becoming a “Lazy” Iron Man!

I will try to add updates to this page directly, as I go!

Week 26 of 52: WCSO Oral Board Interviews + Tuesday Farmers Market

One, or more new things per week for the 2013 year...

Week  26 of 52 (June 24^th, 2013 to June 30^th, 2013): WCSO Oral Board Interviews + Tuesday Farmers Market

                This week I went to one of my first Farmer’s Market’s and the reason I say that is that I have been before… but I was passing through and it was not my soul purpose to spend time at the farmers market. This week however I went to the Tuesday Hillsboro Farmer’s Market and spent a good 4-5 hours walking around and exploring all of the cool stuff.

                This however, was not as “new” as my Oral Board Interview to become a Volunteer Reserve Deputy for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. It was an interesting experience… and they managed to put me on the spot several times, where it became difficult for me to answer the questions. But I think I did pretty well considering. 60 applicants made it to the interview process and only 8 will become reserve deputies. So we shall see what will happen.
