I finally finished the homepage and other internal pages for Brochin.net. I still have several tweaks, but the site is almost fully functional. The cost comparison calculators work, the members area is working which contains the e-books, software and web templates and tutorials. The article directory is also functional and of course the blog.

The only thing left to finish is the Expert forum in the members area. Still working on design, layout and functionality as well as recruiting the experts who are willing to share some of the expertise and time for free.

A co-worker told me this joke the other day and I swear I had never heard it….this is stinking funny.
Not sure if it is really true or not and couldn’t find anythingon Snopes, but I honestly doubt it is….then again, knowing some of the people I know, it could be true…

The 24th of November is the magic number. That is when I detach here and the family heads to Tennessee and Indiana on leave before heading to Okinawa for 3 years. We have already sold the Ford Explorer this weekend and all the planets seem to be aligned since we had two couples look at the house today and both are very, very interested.

Getting rid of the Explorer was like giving away and old dog or something. We have had that vehicle since 1999. It is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. In 10 years I have never had one major issue with it. Changed the oil, tune ups and tires, that is it.

So it looks like we will be mvoing away on the 24th. Yea, I know, that came pretty quick. It all hinged off the flight windows out of Seattle and LA to Okinawa. Since we are traveling there during the Christmas and New Years holiday season, flights are packed and in a 10 day flight window they could only find us one flight to Seattle in those ten days. We also had a hard time finding a flight to Seattle from Raleigh.
