Jim's Montage: July 2006

Happy SysAdminDay!

For some reason I continue to forget all about this day, however its inevitable that some news site will remind me. Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day!

Be sure and give a special thanks to your SysAdmin. Typically we are made readily aware of things that are not working - however I have yet to hear someone call me up and say, "Jim, everything is working great. Keep up the good work!" ;-)

The Unimog hits Reiter Trails...

Back on 7/15/2006 I took a little road trip to Reiter Trails in the Unimog for the FJ Cruisers Trail Teams event (hosted by WATTORA). Overall it was a good time, I had a chance to get a good look at the new FJ Cruisers. They sure are pretty, and all those fancy amenities would be nice. However, I think I'll stick to the Mog as my project 4-wheeler. :-D

I was a little leery about driving so far in the Mog, as it is a 56 year old beast. It did quite well on the road, I topped off at about 55MPH and was able to keep close to that as much as possible. Ear plugs are an absolute necessity!

Below are some pics of the Mog in action. As usual I neglected to pull out my camera and snap pics, that is something I am working to change. A new acquaintance was gracious enough to snap some pictures and send them my way (thanks Mike!).
