Surprising? Not really. I’m sure I keep their bottom line firmly in the black.
So I’ll try to knock out a lot of the pictures I have taken from the past month and a half. I decided to leave off my pics from the following things:
– SNCO Academy graduation, 28 Sep 2006 –
not too exciting and lots of pictures of that damn SOS running hill at Maxwell AFB. Mostly pictures for my memories than anything you’d be interested in. (30 Oct 2016 Update: Let’s look at pictures! 2006-Me was so lazy about pictures!)
– My PC Rebuild – I may build a supplemental page to my current ‘Build a PC with Hobie’ section, but for the time being, those pictures will have to wait for public viewing. (30 Oct 2016 Update: Yeah, those pics are hilarious to me now as there’s so much OLD technology on display, including my monitor, the fact there’s a FLOPPY disk drive….)
The pics below are excerpts from our get-together at Dave & Buster’s in Denver:

In the pictures below, I took pics from the plane back home from Alabama. And amazingly, it flew right over my neighborhood and I was on the perfect side of the plane to see my house exactly. Sweet!
Colorado Springs from above – 29 Sep 06
Below are pictures from my very first Colorado Blizzard! The first winter I had here did have snow, but it was never to the extent that we got in October 2006. It was pretty cool to experience one, especially since I was on leave during it so I didn’t have to deal with driving in it. Even better was that the temperatures went back up into the 50s and 60s so most of the snow is now gone. Although there’s still quite a bit left in the city, mostly where the snow built up in drifts or where the plows put it on the sides of the road. I am not sure when the next major storm will hit, but from what I’ve heard, this first blizzard was a great start to the ski season. I’m hoping by December, we’ll have plenty more snow and that Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail and Beaver Creek are ready for me!
Oh yeah, I forgot to update and say that I now have a complete ski set and ensemble – I’ve got my own skis now, my own ski poles, ski boots and I even got a really cool new ski jacket. And with my Colorado Ski pass, I’m a total native. Sweet.
Colorado Springs Blizzard – 26 Oct 06
And then finally, I took some pictures today of my office – redesigned with the removal of my original desk (to the garage) and putting in a more basic and ‘open’ desk that would relax the room a lot. I haven’t put my “I Love Me” diplomas up yet on the walls, nor have I painted the room to what it may eventually be (the colors for this room have definitely not been considered yet – I’m still trying to finish my bedroom as I can’t get to the last wall yet because I have to disassemble my big bed first). But I love my new setup in the office, with my TV right there and there being plenty of room for not only my amazingly powerful newly built PC (specs: AMD 64 Athlon X2 4800+ processor, new ASUS A8N32-SLI mobo, 2 GB of DDRAM, a new SATA HDD, a Creative X-Fi sound card, and a BFG NVidia Geforce 7950GT 512 MB video card/powerhouse – I want to get one more identical video card so I can run it in SLI-configuration) but also to put my laptop up there. Sweet. OH yeah, I also got a new flat panel monitor – the big honkin’ 19″ CRT is resting peacefully in the closet, destined eventually for somewhere else…not here.
