Since it was a breeze to import my Blogger account into WordPress (took like 10 minutes to setup), I am going to try out WordPress for awhile. The only thing that should change for my readers is the RSS feed which can be found on the right.
Let’s see how this goes…

Thankfully the weather was much more cooperative this year than last year. With highs in the low 80’s compared to the mid 100’s, it was much more comfortable.
This year’s turnout was a little less than last year, which I think was due to the heat, but the crowd also seemed to include more younger people. I can’t think of any suggestions to improve next year’s event other than have a “parade of campers” type of event where you could look at new models. I did happen to gain access to a few of our fellow neighbor’s campers for a look around and all I can say is, “wow!”
Thanks to Corral Sales for giving back to their customers once again.

Dear friend,

Don’t you just love spam?!
I cleaned out about 50 RSS feeds out of my blogroll in the last few days. Some sites that I didn’t read anymore and others that no longer exist.
One thing I have noticed is that I haven’t added a new site in a long time. If you want to have your site added to my list of feeds I read everyday, leave a URL in the comments.
I have been looking at WordPress and have been thinking about moving my blog over to that framework instead of Blogger. Either way I host the content on my servers but the WordPress framework looks like it offers a little more functionality. Anyone have any advice?
It’s getting closer. I am started to get excited! I just wish I could get ahead on my college courses before I go…
Halfway through training! I am really ready to come home on Saturday. I just found out class will be done early on Saturday but I already am booked for the late flight back into town. Oh well. I don’t want to say that the people here aren’t great, because they are, it just is kinda lonely here all by myself, although Fridays is really getting to know me by name!
Tomorrow night we plan on taking in some live comedy next door at The Bob. More on that later if we go…
Well we seem to have crossed a small milestone today. This blog has received 50,000 hits since I moved it to being powered by Blogger from DNN. It is still being hosted on my servers but the management is a little easier with Blogger.
Anyway, thanks for the viewership.
I am once again on the road for work. This is the first time I am traveling alone though and I have to admit it is a totally different experience. Usually the time just flies when there is someone else to go hang out with after conventions/training/etc but now the day(s) just seem to drag on.
Last night I went across the street to Friday’s and had supper after I got into town around nine. I ended up meeting some guys around my age and we discussed the differences in weather and past times from my region to theirs. It’s amazing how 1200 miles doesn’t really make that much difference in this case but in other areas it is like a whole new way of life.
The weather is good here in Michigan with highs in the seventies and low eighties. People are really friendly here just like back in Bismarck. The hotel is also great and has free Internet which is a welcomed change. The hotel really makes the trip. I’ve stayed in some real dives and some real nice places and it seems the overall stay is way better when the hotel is better. I guess the extra price of higher quality hotel is worth it.
Training is going good although today was a little boring but you need to start somewhere. I think the group as a whole is pretty close to all being on the same level, which is a huge help to making the class beneficial for all. I really hate when you have both ends of the spectrum and then class is deliberately slowed to accommodate for some to the disadvantage of others. This happened at a training class last fall and I ended up walking away feeling robbed of what it could have been due to the inexperience of one individual.
I really enjoy being with a group of individuals that all think on the same wave length but after awhile it’s almost as if you need a break from
