My main Resolution is going to get in better shape. Last Christmas i got my wife the wii fit, and I was using it almost everyday, and people actually were asking if I was working out. I'm not sure why I stopped, but It's that time to start up again! With Hector as my trainer I will be in my best shape ever!!!

Christmas day

Hope everyone, enjoyed their Christmas!

The start of ours was pretty good, but it had a not so great ending. I set up our video camera on our tripod hoping to catch his reaction in the morning. He was happy but wasn't esstatic. He is only two, well almost three. His favorite gift, I'd say is the trampoleane from gee gee. Gee gee is grandmother, Brandon her first grandson started it.

Dinner was great! Roast beef, the best ever, and I'm not just saying that. I will say next year I'm making sure I bring Eggnog, and some Kahlua! Who doesn't have that......

After our nap, we headed to Aunt Nancys. Where their was Eggnog and desert. Robbie was having a ball playing, with all the kids. I wanted to get out of their kind of earlie because I had to work the next day. Around 8:30 We were getting ready to go, when Robbie reached under a recliner chair to get a ball. The person in the chair didn't know and leaned forward and squished his finger. So to the E.R. we went. We wouldn't of rushed right their, but his nail was completely off.

He was a tough bugga. He stopped crying before we got to the hospital. He played in the waiting room. Had X-rays did surprisingly well. All that with crying, but unfortunately the doctor said he had to put the nail back under the skin, or their a chance the canal the nail grows out of may start to close, and the new nail would be diformed. So they novacained him. My wife and I had to hold him while he pulled the nail off, and put it back. This was hard for me to dom but I knew it had to get done.

So that was my Christmas

Pictures with Santa : )

Last Friday, we went to get pictures with Santa. The Family went, even the dog! I got a invite from our friend Moe. Her work (which is a photography school) was doing a charity event. I know we would of, ended up going to the mall, I figured, I'd rather see the money going for a good cause. PLUS pets were welcomed!!!

Hector ofcourse stole the spotlight. First let me say, if I known that the floors were all going to be hardwood, I would of trimmed his nails. We have hardwood floors and he was fine on ours, but theirs, had bright lights, and were probabley just waxed. What happened? He decided he wasn't going to walk, so I had to carry him around. Which drew more attention then, just having a dog there.

It all worked out, and I had fun!

Oh Christmas tree (please don't fall off)

Hey Everybody : )
I have a video for you today!!! I captured it on my cell phone, I mean smartphone. It's the Samsung Instinct, just incase you were wondering. Back to the video, It's a real short clip, but before I let you see it, let me tell you about our weekend after Thanksgiving.

We went to cut down our Christmas tree, with our friends Aaron and Kathleen. We try to go with them every year, there so much fun. This year the selection was very scarce. I guess Christmas trees are a tastey treat for Deer. My favorite part of the day was Robbie saying he didn't want the tree we picked. I ask him what one he wanted, and he pointed to this huge tree, I don't even think it was a pine tree.

On the way home, my wife ask what happens if a Christmas tree falls off someones car and we hit. It be their fault I replied not knowing what she was refering to. (I like to sleep while I'm not driving) She then pointed it out.......

Music Monday ( I'm getting nothing for Christmas )

Music Monday

Abstract Ensemble
I'm Getting Nothing For Christmas



Staying with the Christmas theme I decided to pick this song after seeing it on Youtube. I do want to mention the video is not the song that would be purchased from Ituned, so make sure you play a sample before you actually buy the song.

These two kids in the video, really fit the song. Maybe next year Robbie will be signing this song. Right know he loves Jingle bells. He loves to sign I hope he keeps with it, I enjoy listening to him sign. I really need to catch it on video : )

Todays Music Monday, is brought to you by Ticket Solutions!

Having trouble getting tickets to that sold out concert? Have you tried all your local Ticket dealers? How about Ebay or Craigslist? Do't give up, and don't pay those ridiculous prices that scalpers try to get. Give Ticket Solutions a try! They specialize in those hard to get, sold out events. Which is why I picked Metallica as this weeks Music Monday.

Speaking of Metallica, they where my first concert I ever went too. I didn't but my tickets from Ticket Solutions, because their in the United Kingdom, but i do remember they were tough to get. If your a huge fan that likes to travel, just to hear them play Live, then bookmark their site. The United Kingdom is a great Tourist place.

Finding apps for Samsung Instinct

I have been looking for some apps for my cell phone. It's a Samsung Instinct, I love it. It does lack in the app department, but that will all change, soon I hope. It just had a new firmware update, which made a few apps work on it. Their are tons of apps at getjar.com! Only problem is you have to try it, and see if it works or not. That can be a pain, I have searched through some forums to see if there is a list of apps that work. I have found a few but not a list.

What I am going to do is some reviews on some of the apps I try, and the ones I find work I will post here. If you are Instinct user please check back.

A gift for Hector!

One of Hectors biggest fans, made this for him! She goes by the name Strawberry, on Myspace. How she came across Hectors blog I'm not sure, but has always dropped in and left nice comments.

I want to thank her for allowing me to post this picture, and tell her it means alot to me. Things like this, give me motivation to keep doing what I'm doing. Strawberry if your reading this Thank you!

Here is a link to her profile on Myspace, if you like her work send her a message, and let her know : )

Need legal advice?

Need legal advice? I know my company does, with this whole union thing going on. After looking over the site (centraljerseylegalservices.com ) I realized having any lawyer, is not the way to go. With so many different areas of legal services, you need to get one that spacializes in that area that concerns you. Wether it's divorce, civil, or union issues, make sure you are working with someone who is knowledgable in the area. It will save you money!

If you live in New Jersey, and need legal advice, this would be a good place to start. The site has a nice layout, with a side bar with common areas, such as personal Injury, Defective Products, Medical Malpractice and many others. Do some homework before you start spending!

Thanks for reading, sorry no Hector pics to go with this post.

Another song that has a fun strum pattern. Have to have a sense of humor to be able to sing it.
Not a song that my wife will sing with me.

Hector, a hunting dog?

A few years back,I was looking for a cheap hobby, that I could bring Hector along with me. Once I tried metal detecting. I never found that rare coin that was going to make me and Hector rich. It was fun, not so much when Hector chose to walk on the other side of the tree, resulting in a tangle leash like web. I think it could of been a great hobby for us both, with a little practice. I remember, if I started digging a hole he would jump right in and start digging. I thought it was amazing.

Now comeing across a website called Coin Roll Hunt, Hector and I are back at it again! Searching for that lucky coin. I'm not a coin expert so, maybe we found it and just didn't realize it? Now that I found this well layed out site, with plenty of tips, I will be more informed, and will know what to look for. This time I'm not buying a metal detector, I'm going to start my search, around the house, places like couch cushions, junk drawers, coin rolls, on top of the dryer!

I'll let you know if I find anything!!!

Hector riding shotgun!

Here are two pictures of Hector riding shotgun. We usually argue over who's going to drive. We play rock, paper, scissors, to decide. I always win, he is only able to do paper because of his paws. Besides I don't think he can reach the pedals. I don't want to use Repairpal because I let my dog drive.

Another helpful website from Hector! This one is for service and repairs for your automobile. The website lets you see and rate shops, have a bad experiance let everyone know, so what happened to you ,won't happen to them. It goes for good experiances too, make sure the place you like doesn't go out of business, leave comment and high rating, so other people will use them as well. You will have to register to rate a shop.

Repairpal.com

Hectors back and styling!

It's has been awhile, hopefully Hector still has his screaming fans!

How has he been, well he has put on some weight, "muscles" he says, and I can't argue with him. Bullies are stuborn, and people argueing with their pets, is weird. I know, I know, so is having a blog for your pet, and actually blogging for him, but you love it! So I'm really feeding your addiction, not mine......

sunglasses

Here he is, after return from the mall, in search of some stylish sunglasses. He's going for the Arnold Schwarzenegger look. What do you think, did he pull it off? I know many people who run in terror when he's wearing these Armour Avenger Sunglasses. I find it funny because he's so loveable, they just need to give him a chance.

Hector wants to share this buyers guide for sunglasses!

With the economy the way it is even Hector is sniffin out the best deals on Armour Avenger Sunglasses. I guess he's growing up, be the big brother, putting Robbies needs, and wants, before his. I think it's been over a month since he has had a bullie stick. I'll have to take him to the dog.

Hope you enjoyed thanks for reading!

Now go shop!

And in this corner!

And in this corner!

If any of you have read my, Myspace blogs, then you know I like to make you laugh. This blog will be taken over for some of my post on Myspace. Due to some issues I'm having with them. Tom and I need to get in the ring! Duke it out like Ricky Hatton, and Paullie Malignaggi, or Hector and Tony the Tiger!!!

Boxing Tickets

On the picture on the left you can see Hector trying to execute an armbar. A submission move that he has mastered. From the picture you may think Tony may have the weight advantage but when infact Hector is double Tonys weight.

Fight Tickets

Ofcourse It's not to late for resevations at the MGM Grand for the Hatton vs Malignaggi.

You can get Hospitality tickects from worldwidesportstravel.com. Get your friend two tickets for their birthday. Just make sure it's a friends that is going use the second ticket on taken you, and not another friend!

Proximimade Award

Proud to Display this award given to me by Delaney!

Check out her blog here

“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy] “They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate?”Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”

My eight blogs I like to pass this award too are.......

1. Linda LKS Photography

2. Strawberry

3. atlindas.com

4. Fracas

5. Bobbibrainstorms

6. Roxxymetal

7. Sandyalne

8. Lana

Of course I would of had Delaney in there, but think it's better not to give a award from someone right back, because that's like giving a gift back sort of aint it???

I chose this song because I have started playing guitar, and this is one I just started learning how to play. It's a fun song to play and sing! Hope you enjoy : )

Buxfer Tool for fianances

Normaly, I don't bother with keepong track with how much I make, and where it all goes. But, It's about time I start manageing my money better. I have to think about the future, not only mine, but Lil Robs too. I want to make sure that he gets to go on real vacations, Maybe Disney world, Las Vegas..........OK that one is for me : )

So I am trying out Buxfer!
I like it so far easy to use and mobile friendly, so I can check my credit card balances anytime, anywhere. This is a great way for me to not spend, all I have to do is look at what I owe LOL! Besides Buxfer, I am going to look into consolidating on to one credit card with a 0% APR. I'll let you know how that works out.

Music Monday

I have decided to make Monday "Music monday". I have seen bloggers such as Fracas use Friday Food Porn, and other bloggers use "Thursaday Thirteen". I believe the idea behind this, is to create a way to have to, keep your blog fresh. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. I'm still new to blogging!

Why Music Monday?

1. Share my taste in Music.
Warning I have strange taste in music!

2. I'm a affiliate with itunes.
Why not get some practice in using it.

One of my favorite songs........at the moment : )

Refusing to wear Safety Glasses!

Lately everyone wants too know what's going on with the union. For those who don't know, here's a little recap. About a month ago the union got voted in. Right now it's in collective bargaining. I'm not for the unoin in this particular shop. It's a small shop with 5 people, under me. I make it a total of 6. The vote was 4 to 2 : (

This post is about the company taking nessacery actions to keep the workers safe. Safety Glasses now have to be worn in the shop while working. The company bought everyone one pair, if anything happens to them they will have to replace them. One of the workers wears glasses, and isn't able to wear the pair the company provided. I asked for him too pick up a pair over the weekend, and the company would reimburse him. The following Monday he came in with nothing, saying he went to Home Depot, and they didn't have any that would work with his glasses.

I then got a pair from Graingers for him that sits over glasses. He ended up complaining about them messing up his vision. Eventually it came down to telling him he has to wear them or he can't work, so he chose to leave. The next day he came in with corner lenses that slides on the side of his glasses. These were aceptable.

The problem is the unoin thinks he should get paid for the day he left. I'm not sure why? On top of that, over this weekend his glasses got broke. Guess what pair of safety glasses he chose to wear! The ones he wouldn't wear the day he left. Why could he wear them today and not the day he walk out.

Please let me know what you think about this situation! Should he get paid? I'm I dealing immature adults?

Dirty Hands!

I'm always finding myself trying to make my own things, not sure why. Anyways after seeing some animated GIFs, I thought I would make some of my own. I began going through my photos, and came up with an idea. I call it "Dirty Hands".

I used Photoshop to make it. Maybe in the future I can make a DIY article on how I made it. Please let me know what you think of my animated GIF!!!!

Pumpkin Carvin

I'd Like to Thank Delaney for being the first one to comment on my blog! I'd also Like to ask for some Ideas on what I should carve into a pumpkin. Last year I carved a skull with my son, and he loved it. This year needs to be something different.

post your Ideas under the comments!

He didn't care much about helping me scoop the pumpkin seeds out, so that momma could bake them. If you Need a recipe try this one we used this year! Click here

Drawing of Hector

Today I wanted to share a drawing I did almost four years ago! It's a picture of Hector, as pup. This was drawn before I even actually bought him. This was how I ended up passing the time, waiting for him to be old enough to leave his mom.



Please let me know what you think!

Liver Biopsy

Nancy had her biopsy on her liver today at Winchester hospital. She is doing well, still sore, which is expected. I will make a post when the results come in.

I was a little frustrated with Winchester Hospital, besides there terrible parking situation, the staff wasn't on the ball. When they brought her in to prep her for the surgery, they said they would let me sit with her after, until it was time. After waiting for a half hour I got up to ask if they finished prepping her they said yes that I could go in, as I started to walk down the hall, she was being rolled to surgery. (Someone dropped the ball)

It all worked out, and the surgery went fine, so I'm very thankful. My biggest concern, was if she was going to have a reaction to any of the drugs.

Moment to rember

This pass weekend was my Birthday! I recieved a great Birthday present from my son, who is only two and half. Maybe I find it, so great because I'm his dad. Either way the feeling i got was truly amazing.

During the week a kid in his class had a Birthday. So he came home with a new song to sign, the "Happy Birthday" song. It was cute hearing him sign it, because when he got to the kids name, it was emphised alot. "Happy birthday to RAAAY" to funny!

When Saturday came, and I heard him signing, I told him "it's Dadas birthday tomorrow, when you wake up you can say happy birthday Dada". I really wasn't exspecting it.

My wife, and I take turns getting up on the weekends. She woke up Saturday, so it was my turn. I heard him wake up, so I got up did the usual routine brought him down stairs, changed his diaper, put the tv on, fed him breakfast, and then began to play.

He spotted the guitar for guitar Hero III, and wanted to play. I started to set it up, and while I was on the floor trying to figure out way it wasn't working, he put his hand on my shoulder and said "happy birthday dada".

I don't have this moment on video but I did capture him signing to me in the car. Enjoy!

Skid Plates complete!

unnamed.jpg
Originally uploaded by rcyamaha

Finally I recieved the rest of my Skid plates for my Yamaha Raptor 700. I originally picked out all DG brand skid plates, I'm the type that likes to stick with one brand. Unfortunatley my parts were delayed a month out, and I didn't want chance riding with out them, so I went with AC Racing for the chasis and swing arm.

The installation was easy too!

A-arms:
Each side consisted of three bolts that tightened a clamp securing the plate to the A -arm.

Chasis:
Remove the old skid plate four bolts. Then remove the bottom two bolts that hold the bumper on. Then slide the new Skid plate between the bumper and the frame. Put the orginall bumper bolts back. I then placed the four long blots through where the orginal bolts went, sliding the spacer on to the bolts from the back. I then started threading hand threading them. Once they are all started I began tighting them down. I would sugest Loc-Tite.
The last two bolts act as clamps holding it to the frame.

Swing arm:
Remove the old skid plate, only four bolts. Atatch the new skid plate with the new four bolts into the originall holes. All done, now through on that NO FEAR sticker, and don't worry about those giant boulders waiting to destroy your ATV!

Skid plates

I decided I would ad some skid plates for my Raptor. I have been riding for a few years, and have noticed how much, of a beaten, the under carrige, of a ATV gets. Trails are filled with many obsticles, which may include climbing over boulders, and logs. Skid plates will help keep these obsticles from denting, and bending, your A-arms, swing arm, and frame.

MyBlogLog

I added MyBlogLog!

On the right underneath My Zannel, you may have noticed MyBlogLog recent readers list. This is another social site, great for gaining exposure. While surfing other members blogs your picture will be added to their recent visitors list. Normally, in return they will check out your blog, if you are lucky enough they may find your work interesting and join your community or communities!

Snap Shots

Today I added Snap Shots to my blog!

I have to admit I don't know everything about it.

It has revenue sharing again not sure how it works, for now I set mine to charity. I picked Autism Speaks, because it's in the field in which my wife works.I will keep you posted on this as I learn more about it.

I do know, I like how it will display a picture of where a link will bring you. For example here is a link to my Facebook. This is a great feature I can't tell you how many times I followed a link, and then had to hit the back button.

Zannel ( what is it? )

Just added Zannel to my Facebook, Myspace, Blogspot, Flickr and Twitter. I'm not done yet either! it will work with Wordpress, Live Journel, Typepad, and many more! So what is it?

It's a way of sharing your life as it happens. you can use your cell phone, and send text, pictures, or videos, thruogh MMS, or e-mail, to your Zannels account email. You may also update it from a pc. These become like little blog entries, there is even a spot for people to leave comments.


Some things to note:

* Twitter will update the text and link to the photo or video.
* Flickr will upload the photos and videos but not the text.

Not another blog!

OK, ok, I know how many blogs am I going to make. If you really want to know, ask Mr. Owl! This particular blog is going to be my main blog. Wheather it's about Lil Rob, Hector, My ATV, or any Programs I'm trying out, it will be hear.

Don't get me wrong, I am still going to make new blogs, and post to some of my old ones. So why this one? I want my other blogs to be a niche blog, be geared to a particular subject. This way people surfing the web, for Bull Terriers, come across Hectors blog they can subscribe, and not be bothered with my other topics. The other good thing is the ads will be focused on what my readers are looking for, which can make me and my sponsors more money.
