Well, the first thing that came to mind when I found out the subject for this week was “unusual” was a trip to my in-laws. No, they’re not “unusual”, but the stuff at their house sometimes can be. My father-in-law doesn’t believe in buying anything when he can make it. That turns out some very interesting contraptions that you have to see to believe. This is just one of them. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s what happens when you let a dozer and a backhoe have offspring. You really need to see this thing run to appreciate how “unusual” it really is. I can’t complain too much, we used it to dig up our septic tank last year and it did the job, but interesting a time it was.
Can’t wait to see what everyone else puts up for this week. I’ll post the links when they’re up.
**Update: Here’s this week’s other pics. Mike, Paul, Dave, and Alvin (coming)
Welcome to another Dave. Mike and I work with Dave and I was able to convince him to join in the fun. Here’s his entry this week.

Took a trip to Greenbluff this weekend with the whole family. Mike and I took some cool pictures. Mike said there is more too come.
It was fun to go eat peaches and take pictures. What a way to live.

Backwards turned out to be a bit more difficult than I originally thought. I happened to stumble across this week’s picture while getting my hair cut. Hope you enjoy.
Here were my other canidates.
Mike’s entry this week. Nice job.
** Update: Macman’s pic. Very nice. It’s cool to see that we’re getting more people in on this.
Welcome to Alvin too.
Dave’s is in.
Next week’s topic is “unusual”. I’ve already started my research. Mike, watch your back.

In an effort to burn some of my many weeks of vacation time, I’ve resorted to taking Friday’s off for the last few weeks. Well, that pattern may continue for some period of time. I was talking with some coworkers today and I figured I could work 4 day weeks until April 2006 to eat up all my time off. Not too bad of an idea. Hopefully I’ll be able to put a week or two off before then, but to think that I only have to work 4 days doesn’t make me feel too bad. So, I’m off to enjoy the rest of my week at work… Oh, wait, only have 20 minutes. Cool. See you next week guys.
