Bridge for Sale... Only 1 Dollar!

I went on a site visit yesterday to the Brooklyn Bridge. Well actually into the Brooklyn Bridge. This is one of the most fascinating expeditions I've been on for the job.

The cellar levels were particularly creepy and cryptlike. This pic was taking using just the flash on my camera. No installed electrical lighting was present. We were navigating mainly with flashlights and a generator powered work light.


The top floor of the bay that we were in has the most awesome arched space. It would actually be a really cool apartment!

Thank god I was wearing a hard hat. See that diagonal piece of steel? (previous photo) My head made contact with it while I was trying to make it up the "stairs of death" coming up from the second floor. As you can see from the photo, each step was dangerouly skewed and the entire stair is precariously leaning. (See below)

The good news is, I lived to tell the story. But I gotta say, this has been quite the experience.

I'm Doing My Part!

So what's on my PSP now? Starship Troopers, the CG Animated Series. I've gotta tell you that I've had this series for a while but I hesitated to watch it. I thought it would be pretty cheesy. Then one day, after I completed watching all of BattleStar Galactica Season 2, I needed something to occupy my time on the ride to work. So I thought I'd give the Starship Troopers Series a try. Not too shabby actually. The CG is pretty cool. This should keep me entertained for a bit. Check it out, just don't go into it with a preconceived notions and don't expect much. It is afterall just entertainment. If anything, just check out the CG and the technology. Peace out, what's the matter, you wanna live forever?

Are we there yet?

Just got back from our trip to Rochester. Six hours of continuous driving sure takes a toll on you. Luckily for my two passengers all they had to concentrate on was their nap.

So why'd we go to Rochester you ask?

To visit some beloved friends of ours who are expecting their first! And to throw them a surprise (.... well not really a surprise as it turns out) baby shower.

Our own little baby, Kaiser had a blast running around like a mad dog in our friends' backyard. (Pics coming.) That little Jack never looked so pooped before. (Thanks Ed!) When I left the house this morning, he totally skipped breakfast and went back to his little bed. This weekend was Kaisers longest car ride.... he was really ansy after two hours on the way up. We're really glad we brought him up there though, we even delayed our trip back down to the city because he was having so much fun with our friends' neighbor. It's funny how everything seems to revolve around this little guy...

Edit:

So much grass, so little time...
