Current Events

Well, the NFL draft is over and my guys from LSU did all right. 7 players drafted, although only 1 in the first round. Nice run starting in the 3rd round, although I doubt Matt Flynn (Green Bay) and Keither Zinger (Atlanta) will stick around for extended periods. The Matt Flynn draft is weird when you consider that they had drafted Brian Brohm earlier....maybe some kind of trade bait going on with Brohm?

Onto more personal items....I can now pull a car into my garage. It was so weird, I had to pull the Jeep right in just to see what it was like. It's the first time since I moved to FL that I've been able to put a car in the garage.

Still no (old) jeep on the horizon. I've even thought of going to get the rust bucket previously mentioned in this blog, but decided against it. I guess something will pop up. I'm eyeing some items on ebay. None extremely close, but you never know what will happen. One project vehicle up in Jacksonville might be interesting, but I think I'm too cheap to hit this guys reserve. We'll see what happens, bidding ends today.

At work: work continues on the financial statements. Discussed with CGC updating some of our reports. May be a chance to get away from doing everything in spreadsheets. Again, we're too big to keep doing things in this way. Need to drive some change into this organization. We now have tentative approval to move forward with salesforce.com CRM. Looking forward to using this, as it will allow us to consolidate a number of spreadsheets regarding sales, estimates, and contract awards into one spot with the information visible to a lot of people.

Anyway, that's enough for one time. See ya later!
