It's the Final Countdown...

Let the countdown begin...I told my physcial Terrorist to just meet me at the track for PT on 1 April. Let the running and swelling of the knee begin. Gotta get ready for my races in June, July, August, Sept, Oct...oh you get the point.

Getting Ready for 5 weeks away

Had nine students last week for my laboratory class...I have 7 for the process and applications class this week. Should be pretty good...nice mix of sales, service, sales support, technical support, and new instructor.

I leave on Friday for South Africa for two weeks. We get to go to Kruger once again for the weekend...staying at Jan's home. We will be doing training for company associates the first weeka and customer sessions the second week.

I get to come home for one week and then off to SE Asia for two weeks.

Should be a wild month. All coming to an end 1 April.

Unprivate...

So I had to put my blog on a private setting there for a while because people I work with who have no business reading this had nothing better to do that read blogs on company time. I did not give them the address or invite them to read it. Yet they felt the need to try and comment on my posts. Seriously...get to work and quit wasting company time.



But...because I created this blogg to keep my family up to date on my travels...and my grandmother could not access this blog, I decided to put it back out on the web.



Hopefully, those will learn to keep their nose out of others business...and you know who you are.

Still leashed...

So I will be leashed for another 6 weeks.

Still not allowed to run, bike more than 20 min., lunges, squats, etc.

I have however been cleared for Wii Fit...but only the balance part, no strength training.

Back In Colorado

Totally missed a good friends retirement Happy Hour on Friday...since I was trying to recover from the Sales meeting, flights, and PT.

Did get a great beer dinner in last night. Four course meal that included spinach artichoke dip, prime rib, potatoes, asparagus, caramel apple pie...and of course beers from the Leinenkugel brewery. Mummmm.....can't wait for the next one in April.

Great Fajita Marinade

Yummy...for chicken, flank steak, or shrimp

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
4-6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Place desired meat in the marinade, and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.

I also made a full recipe for the veggies...green bell pepper, onion, red bell peppers, etc.

Survived the Holidays...barely

Well I am finally back in CO after the holidays. What a trip!!! My sister-in-law keeps trying to have a baby way to early, my knee swelled up, rock band has now entered our house, and my grandmother gave us the use of her condo in Hawaii!!!!

I am now officially behind in PT...it's time to pick up the pace. I guess not going for 2 weeks tends to do that to one after surgery. I am now 6 weeks out of surgery...less than 9 more until running my first steps.

Heather (sister-in-law) is bound and determined to have "cletus the fetus" early. She is now on permement bed rest...lets get those lungs developed before popping out of the womb.

I am totally excited about the prospect of spending my 35th birthday in Hawaii!!! Bring on the warm waters and sandy beaches.

We now have Rock Band and Guitar Hero in our house...as if we needed anything else!!!
