A 'lil HooHaa

Messing with the blogging world since 2005

snow

And then it was white again…

March 21, 2011

Seriously?

Nearly all the snow in our area had disappeared. Though some still remained in some parks and on mountains, it had been going away at a pretty rapid pace.

Then it snowed.

In my town, it was about an inch or two on the ground. I hear three or a little bit more in different area spots. There’s some snow showers in the forecast for the next few days, but hopefully without any accumulation.

Wasn’t the first day of spring yesterday?

Sheesh.

Alas, the weather made me make sure to turn my attention back to the job hunt. The goal this week is 5-6 applications sent out. I have a pile of printouts I’ve done over the past day or two with about 15 jobs. I’m sure a couple of them I’ll discard as ones I am not qualified for or ones I don’t think would be a good fit for.

I spent about 4 1/2 hours this morning getting some photos together and creating an online gallery for a gig that a friend let me know about. I’m hoping that will come through as it could possible be a foot in the door for some future things. Or it could be just a cool gig to have. I’m not going to get into the specifics as I don’t want to jinx anything. If something pans out, I’ll blog about it at some point.

So as this cold weather sticks around for a few days, I’ll be looking to get some more cover letters and resumes sent out. Hopefully as the weeks go by, I’ll start hearing back on some of them. There are some really good jobs that I think I am qualified for, I would enjoy and I would do well at. Fingers remain crossed.

On a different note — my 70-200 lens arrived today from Canon. I was extremely excited about that. It’s crisp and works very well again. I’m especially stoked as I might go watch a road rally this weekend and it will be nice to have that lens with me.

More later!

Rain leads to spring?

March 13, 2011

We can hope so.

Thursday and Friday (morning) saw some serious rain in the area. So much that there were a few road closures and some minor flooding.

As per normal, when it floods, the one back-river road in this area gets closed as it becomes quite dangerous.

High waters

Water over the road

Thankfully, it didn’t seem to do widespread major flooding. Heavy rains and a lot of snow melt can do that.

Look how high it got near Fitchs Bridge:

Water coming close

But, as much as the rain and flooding isn’t wanted, it gives some home — that spring is here.

The weather has been better and the temps are on the rise. This upcoming week, according to weather.com, will start out in the high 30s (Monday), creep into the mid-to-upper 40s Tuesday and Wednesday and get into the 50s Thursday. It will come back down into the 40s for the weekend.

But…

The kicker to all of this is, outside of a few showers (30 percent chance) Wednesday, the rest of the week looks sunny.

Awesome.

I’m ready for it. I want to get out and ride my bike (though I need to get it to Oneonta and to the local bike shop to have it tuned up and such) and really start pushing ahead with the Couch-to-5K program (which I slacked a bit on this past week).

Hopefully this weather forecast won’t change (though I am writing this early as I’ll be gone at 5 a.m. Sunday to head to New Jersey for a one-day disc golf tournament) and spring will be here. Hopefully with that in the air, my job hunt will warm up and maybe I can land a few interviews and get back into the work force.

Have a great week!

More later!

Harper got her first foul ball (as you can see she enjoyed!) and we also had the chance to grab a couple others and give them to some other dogs. All in all, four dogs walked away with balls!

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.

The theme for Week 3 of the 52-week video challenge was "Show your process of making something." Alas, I didn't get the time to do what I wanted to do, so I attacked something I filmed over the summer that I kept putting off.
