365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Motorcycle, Photo, Photography, Security, Sheriff, Steam Plant

DSC_0168

Stayed home today to try to get over this crud.  Between the meds, the shots and the rest it looks like I’ll feel like going to work tomorrow.  I really didn’t need to take off today but with me running a fever most of the night I really couldn’t afford to go to work.

I took this a few years ago (since I’m running out of material and being that I’ve been stuck at home).  This is at a local steam plant that is not to far from me.  I’ve always admired these cooling towers because they remind me so much of the nuclear cooling towers we’re so familiar with.

I was out on a motorcycle ride and since I could see the towers off in the distance I decided to ride out there and take a few pictures.  I stopped several times near the plant and got a few and decided to got to the front entrance and get a few much closer shots.  I hadn’t been there just a few minutes with my camera out when this security guard came out and told me to put the camera away.  It wasn’t long thereafter when two deputy sheriff’s came pulling up to the scene.  I guess they thought I was some kind of terrorist.  An hour and a half later and after convincing these sherrif’s that I wasn’t their enemy I was free to go.  I’m really surprised they didn’t ask me to delete the images I took.  They didn’t even ask me about them and I wasn’t going to ask.

It’s official, I’m sick.  Didn’t go to the doctor which I guess I should have but I’ve got enough prescription drugs to cure just about anything.  If I’m not any better by Monday I’ll go after work.  I’ve got a photo shoot tomorrow which we’ve had to postpone several times due to weather and other events so I’m going to try to make it so that we won’t have to postpone yet again.

I made it.  We all made it to the weekend!!  I’m I’m not any better by in the morning then I’ll be making yet another trip to the doctor. I heard today that one of my lunch partners was diagnosed with the Flu yesterday and I sit right next to her on most days.  I really hope it’s just another round of the crud and not the Flu.

I’ll be going to bed soon.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!!.

I’m going to be sore in the morning.  It’s the first good workout in close to a year.  In fact, I may have over did it.  I’m still way under what I used to do on the treadmill but I’ve got to start somewhere.  I’m really disappointed in myself for getting back into the same old routine and not exercising like I should.  I’ve gained 35 lbs that I’ve already lost once and that really makes me mad.  Maybe this time around I’ll stick to it and make the changes permanently.  It is a lifestyle change, not just a diet.

Expecting thunderstorms tomorrow with the temperatures falling tomorrow night with sleet and ice on the way.  What weird weather we’re having.  I’ll be glad when spring is finally here and no more winter precipitation.

Picture from tonight.  Went and got a hair cut and when I came out this is what I saw.

More icy weather on the way.  But first, a round of warm weather and severe thunderstorms preceding the cold front.  Curious to see what transpires and how the city will react after the no show of our last system.  They are expecting a “wintery mix”, what ever that supposed to mean. More ice, snow or sleet?

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Blazer, Campus Life, College, daughters, Photo, Photography, Twins, UAB

_1TH1490

This morning I was honored to take my twin daughters to college day at UAB, University of Alabama Birmingham. We toured the campus, on foot, and went into places I’ve never been before.  I’ve lived here all my my life and I thought I knew the place.  I guess I was wrong.  It’s real nice and I learned a lot.  This also gave my daughters a chance to check out the campus, the dining area as well as some of the dorms.  I’m not sure what my daughters really thought of the place.  I think they have their thoughts of going someplace where they can experience their freedom and not have to commute from home on a daily bases.  Overall, it’s a nice campus with plenty of activities for the kids to do to unwind after a hard day of studying.

After we all got home we all crashed.  After a late night last night we all deserved a nap.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Gymnastic, LSU, Million Dollar Band, Photo, Photography, Tuscaloosa

_1TH1396

A little late tonight.  Took a trip to Tuscaloosa tonight and watched the Alabama vs LSU gymnastic’s meet.  Alabama lost but not by much.  These girls really know their stuff.  I’ve never really been interested in gymnastics until my son started college and played int the pep bands.  I enjoy the meet but I also enjoy seeing my son play and getting to spend just a few minutes with him.  He’s coming home in two weeks and I can’t wait.

I will be posting some video’s of the meet on my TCHPhotography.smugmug.com site.

Enjoy your Saturday!!

We’re supposed to get up to six inches of snow tomorrow between 6 am and noon.  My employer refuses to acknowledge the fact and is not closing.  Even though all schools, county and city, within a hundred mile radius has closed.  Last year we had a system come through so quick that 1700 people got trapped at work because they couldn’t get home.  You would think that our company wouldn’t just go ahead and close to keep that from happening again but I guess the all mighty dollar is more important.

I’ve got several bike rides that I’ve signed up for this year.  None of which are century rides.  Right now I don’t think I could do a half century because I’m so out of shape.   The weather here has been so crazy that I haven’t had a good weekend to get out and ride. This weekend doesn’t look good either.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Beach, Feet, Global Warming, Photo, Photography, Summer

i-pFZTRcK-XL

More bad news as far as the weather is concerned.  Icy roads in the morning and snow accumulation for Wednesday.  When I was a kid these would be the words I’d die to hear.  Anything to get be out of school but unfortunately I didn’t hear these words near enough.  It seems these days we’re experiencing more and more of winter activities.  Call it Global Warming, call it another Ice Age, whatever it is, I’m tired of it.

I spent the first full day back at work today and it was tough.  I made it but I kept thinking of getting home and getting in bed.  Funny, once I did make it home I haven’t made it to bed yet.  I will shortly though.

I’m longing for the warmth of Spring and Summer.

“Life Goes On!”  Even though it’s cold.
