Peter's Week

Good week. One of the highlights was Zan's rugby game on Saturday. The USU team played BYU and so I saw my first rugby game. Zan's friend Skyler was there who plays for Davis High and gave us an outline of the rules. Good think cause otherwise, it looked just like a bunch of women in a free-for-all! Quite entertaining and fairly fast paced. Here's a little video I put together of a few shots I took.

Work was good to positive. No major issues or melt downs that I was in on so that was nice. Still struggle to make progress. I went to Las Vegas for Friday meetings with a small company that is working to provide us with some of the things that we can't seem to deliver ourselves. Hopefully that will be good. Interesting the founder of the company... he is from Croatia and got into the business of providing streaming video when a person asked him to create a solution so that her wedding chapel in Las Vegas could stream weddings to family that couldn't attend. They did 15,000 weddings a year. From that, he's launched into corporate training and now does all the in house video streaming training for Adobe, Microsoft, Caterpillar and others.

Saturday after the game, I went back to yard work and house. I juiced another gallon of apples from the trees. This time I took out all the seeds and stems to see if it made any difference. Not really - that's a good juicer! Then back to painting. Finished up the east bedroom with a grey on all walls except one which was manzanita red! It was a hard color (remember the bathroom). Took about 5 coats but it looks very nice now and I like it. I'm enjoying the painting and am getting better at it. 90% of the work is prepping. Rolling and cutting out the corners is fairly easy. The hard part on this one was doing all the shelves in the closet. Next, the west bedroom. Looking at a kind of sand yellow for that. So much to do to keep a house up! Also, went for a good bike ride just at sunset and rode out to the lake and along a new section of bike path that was just put in this winter. Looking for a 50 mile loop that me and a few of the scouts can do the week after conference.
