August Insights

Red is the color that best describes a very hot month in the summer. Last week I was outside playing sports and riding my bike on my days off work. There was a heat advisory on a couple of days but that did not stop me from getting out. I went to Millbrook Exchange park one afternoon and played tennis doubles for several hours. These courts are about a half hour drive time away, so I don't play there very often. Here is a picture of the challenge court were I played a set:

Millbrook Exchange Tennis Park
Today the finals of the Roger's Masters tournament was on ESPN and Andy Murray got the win over Federer. I also watched the final round of the PGA tournament on TV this evening where a new guy won it. I played singles last week as well and won in straight sets, my partner said I should sign up for the North Hills tournament next weekend, which I played in a few years ago. A few weeks ago I took a weekend trip to the mountains to see my cousin get married. Here are some of the photos that I took with my phone camera:

Austin's Dell desktop computer
I helped to setup a new printer and router at my sister's apartment. Also helped my Dad to pick out an HP netbook for Mom's b-day and then I set it up to connect to there wireless router. While in the mountains I setup another router at Megan's house. Austin and I played the Wii resort game at Rick's gameroom.

This location was near a ski resort north of Asheville. It was a cool and rainy day with a temp in the 60's. There was probably about 25 people there and the reception had lots of food to eat. Austin talked about the chocolate fountain on the patio of that home.

We watched a movie on an HDTV, had some lunch and then I troubleshot an XP desktop that had an invalid product key. From left to right is Jenny, Andy, and Stu. The next morning we had breakfast at the Mission Hospital cafe where Andy works. Then Dad, Shelley, Austin and I travelled back to Charlotte in his car. On the way back, we went past the giant Peach near Gaffney, SC. I read some articles in my computer magazine during the trip but looked out the windows alot.
