You figure K and I would have learned by now when we have our quick, easy, and tasty Burrito night we should avoid putting Chipotle Peppers into the mixture...it just creates a bad morning after...and makes morning runs all the more difficult. Let's just leave it at that and let your imagination run wild. It is a trade off really...because the Peppers add so much good flavor to the mixture...but is reminiscient of the Turkey Burgers we made one time and put the Chipotle's in as well...the next morning was rough to say the least...but the food is SOOOOOO good with them! But those unassuming peppers are far worse than the Habanero Peppers, which are smaller but hotter....but don't effect you as much.
Wow, is this a cooking/medical blog? Oh well...moving on! So it looks like we aren't the only people having major problems on the mechanical front (see previous posting on broken things!). To our displeasure the A/C decided to stop working again last night. It seems like it is good from 75-80 degrees, but any lower than that it goes into overtime and the lines freeze and the whole system goes haywire. Time to call the A/C guy again...eeesh...or install a whole new system!
Back to normal life now though...work is ramping up and fast so I shouldn't really be writing on the this blog but I must lament about the timing of the government and how sometimes people are just unreasonable...you answer their questions the way they want and give them the changes they want...then they criticize those changes. It honestly makes now sense...almost like they are trying to find a reason to throw you out of the competition or they are comments from a subject matter expert that has a torch to bear. First they say you don't have a timeline for taking over specific requirments, then you give them a timeline for the requirements they want and they say "you address these requirements in your timeline but it is unclear when you propose to take over these requirements..."....uhhh WHAT! You just told me we addressed them in the timeline (which indicates when we are slated to take over these tasks and then you tell us we didn't address them....HELLO!
Welcome to government contracting....
Anyway, getting back to real life...The run this morning was a good one. Kirsten was hurting a little from the hard hill workout she did at lunch yesterday so was trailing back slightly and broke off from David and I prior to the monument. It was a beautiful morning out that wasn't too hot and only slightly humid. Lots of runners out on the mall so we felt like we had a ton of company. Legs were slightly tired but didn't feel all that bad and was glad I actually woke up to get out there. Got home and Kirsten and I headed over to Port City Java for my Friday treat....an iced mocha and a Bacon Egg and Cheese Bagel. While I will always crave a BE&CB from NYC...it is enough to quench my need for one.
The past couple days I have been consumed with our friend's RAAM team XTREME4 progress. They left Oceanside, CA on Wednesday at 2pm and they are already in Colorado after only 1 day and 12 hours!!!! So impressive that they are doing so well. While they had expectations and their strategy was solid (having been on a 24 hour simulation with them I got to see it first hand), and is paying dividends. I talked to Paul just a bit ago and spirits are high and they are all amazed at how well they are doing, even though they have had a couple snafus such as getting stuck in the sand! They keep bouncing back and forth between 2nd and 3rd OVERALL for Four Person Teams and are leading their division (4 person team mixed) by almost 3-4 hours and almost 100 miles! Things are looking good for them and you can track their progress from each time check at this link.
GO XTREME4!!!!!!!
