Memorial Day 2013

Catching up on posts here. As you may have noticed, every year we go camping in central Washington for memorial day. It's a tradition we love and will continue to do. I put together a video of the weekend for your viewing pleasure.

 

Being out in the desert gave me an opportunity to bring out the rifle for some target practice. This was also the first time for everybody that wanted to shoot it. Let me tell you, Chrissy is a dead shot. Balloons better duck for cover when Chrissy is behind the trigger.




This year we had some of my coworkers come camping with us. It was nice to hang out with some new people and we had a really good group. There were 10 of us total and 3 dogs.



Once the lights went out, our flashlights went on for some creative light writing. If you set your camera up for a 10-20 second exposure time, you can catch light trails. Always fun to do.

Exotic Metals Open House

This summer my company had an open house to invite the friends and family to get a glimpse into the place we spend a third of our lives at. Chrissy got to come view all of the things we work on, all of the machines we work on and many of the people we work with. Chrissy said it was nice to see everything, so now she knows where I spend most of my day.

Unfortunately taking pictures of the inside of the build was forbidden, however I took many pictures of the car show we held outside. These are all employee owned vehicles that people brought out to share with everyone. A lot of unique and classic cars made for some beautiful shots. My boss even brought out his 5 second drag car and I got to sit in it and play Speed Racer. :) Sweetness.
