There&#8217;s a surprise eh \ud83d\ude42   Beaut of a fall day here.   Did my<br \/>yearly window washing today.  All visitors were warned of the invisible<br \/>windows, lest they accidently walk trough them.  So naturally, all of Zack&#8217;s<br \/>friends try to walk through them.   They were the cleanest windows in town<br \/>for about 5 minutes.  Now they have a bunch of nose prints on them.<\/p>\n<p>Zack and friends just got back from taking his senior photo.  At his arts<br \/>school, they have a more liberal view on senior photos.  The kids  can do<br \/>whatever they want, as long as it includes a photo of them.  So Z polished<br \/>up the white card to a ultra-white sunglasses required shine, and parked it<br \/>on the grass by the church down the street.  Then he filled up the van with<br \/>the 1.2 million empty stereo boxes from past car audio projects (the ones<br \/>that line our garage walls with pride), drove it down there and unloaded<br \/>them by the car.  So his photo will be of the 3 things that he currently is<br \/>most passionate about:  Cars, Stereos, and his Girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Nick has resisted getting a Senior photo taken, as he thinks we can do a<br \/>good enough one with our camera.  If we don&#8217;t get a good enough one, we have<br \/>a backup photo Dad took summer before last (thanks Dad!).  Would probably be<br \/>the only senior photo taken of a Sophomore \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Work at IBM should be returning to a more normal pace.  We have finished<br \/>with 3 of the most difficult chips, so only have 4 less difficult ones left<br \/>to go.  My fellow workers are finally relieved to be taking a weekend off<br \/>this weekend, and I&#8217;m only worked 4 hours from home today, with fewer<br \/>planned for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Zack applied for a job at Best Buy a few weeks ago and got called into for<br \/>interview last week.  We printed out pictures of some of his work and they<br \/>guy was impressed, so he will likely get a job there!  Should know in a week<br \/>or 2.<\/p>\n<p>Nick rode up with Janet and Rachel Munger yesterday to visit the U of M<br \/>campus up in the twin cities.  Clark would have gone also, but he is<br \/>visiting China with father Tom.  He said it was &#8216;big&#8217;.   Much shoe plastic<br \/>lost to the university sidewalks.   He also submitted his first college<br \/>application a few days ago to a smaller U of M campus at Morris Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Nick also went up to a banquet up in the cities with Laurie this week, to<br \/>honor writers and artists.   He and Zack also road up with her to a friend&#8217;s<br \/>sheep farm and helped her move back a free desk to her apartment.   The 2<br \/>strapping young lads man-handled that desk all on their own, with no help<br \/>needed from their wimpy old parents.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a DVD recorder last week, so am dumping all 30+ of our 2 hour 8 mm<br \/>tapes to the computer.  The tricky part will be to somehow clipping out just<br \/>the good clips.   When we let the computer auto-clip it, it sometimes gets<br \/>1\/2 a good clip, which is almost as bad as the bad clips it gets, since it<br \/>leaves you hanging wanting to see the last 1\/2 of the good clip!<\/p>\n<p>Bruce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yip ya hi, Bruce here.
