Last Entry for August

Well here we are…the end of the month. I would like to finish up with something exciting, but the truth is I have been working like a fool for the past couple of days or so. We are picking up a new customer at work, and I have spent the last few days following one of their reps around learning the ins and outs of their doctor office configurations and setup.

My wife and I did manage to make some time for each other this weekend; however it was cut a little short when one of our customers called in requesting assistance. Oh, well…that is the way the cookie crumbles. At least the weather was nice...not too cold, not too hot, a perfect day for a ride.

Megan and I took a road trip out to the coast. It felt really nice to cut loose and catch some scenery for a few hours. We stopped for a break at one of the “View Points” along the road, but to be honest the view wasn’t all that great. I snapped a picture of it anyway.

We stopped at Cannon Beach to grab some brunch and see some sites. The food was great, and the atmosphere relaxing. The entire building was made out of ponderosa pine tree logs, and had a huge fire place in the center of the room. I wonder if they ever fire it up during the winter months?

We took the time to stop for fresh salt water taffy and to pet a little Irish Terrier named Mocha, who had the fur coloring to match the name, but we had to cut our visit short when my cell phone received a support request from the Children’s Museum. It took me the better half of an hour to get back to Portland. I should have known better, and gone somewhere closer to town. It all worked out in the end, I got the customer back up and running, but I really should have gotten to them faster than what I did.

Well, that about sums it up for the past few days. See you next month.
