There is a pond outside of our office building which I can see from my cube. One of my co-workers thought it would be fun to have a remote controlled vehicle to play with here.
The shark wiggles its back fin for propulsion and used a fan in its head to enable it to dive. The fish would swim with it and touch it from time to time.
Here's a link to it: http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/search.do?productCode=RCSHAR#top, be sure to watch the movie.
Last night Hannah, Josh, Jennie and I went for a trail ride (& picnic dinner) at Meyer Ranch, which is located about 15 minutes west on Highway 285 from C-470.
There was a forecast of a 20%-30% chance of rain & thunderstorms for the area, but we decided to risk it anyway. It thundered and stormed on us! Thankfully there was a covered picnic table that we had just reached when the storming began. We ended up sharing the space with about 10 mountain bikers and the two horses for a good 30 minutes.

You can't see me because I'm on the other side of the camera.
Jennie's Westernaire team, the Lancers, participated in the White Division Summer Show this weekend. Hannah got home from India Saturday night.
Here's some pictures:
I finally finished taking out the stump and setting up the Patio Table Sunday afternoon. I still need to seal the table top and seats to preserve it. I also need to do some work on the umbrella that came with it.
Here's a couple shots.
My employer, Abacus, has had a game room in our office since we were purchased by DoubleClick in the fall of 2000. It was a wonderful perk, there was foosball, ping pong, pool, and some arcade games.
I've received a lot of teasing from certain family members about how rough it is to go to work and have to play ping pong/ foosball. Well that can stop now. Our company is moving to a new location and the president has decided the games will not be coming. These items were put up for auction this past week.
I purchased two items, bet you can't guess what they are. One is a concrete patio table and the other is a broken arcade game.
Today Roco and I are going to remove a stump and setup the patio table.

Worked on this for most of the morning and afternoon so far. I've make a good bit of progress considering the tools I've been using: Dad's electric chain saw, axe and sledgehammer/axe. I've also been using a steel pole that I usually use only for breaking up concrete holding fence posts in the ground.
The Arcade Game, called Virtual On, is a two seater where two players can battle it out with MechWarrior type robots. Quite fun. I used the horse trailer to transport it from the office to our home.
My cousin Chris has experience repairing these and will be helping me restore and sell it (for a profit we hope).
