Moved to Houston

I'm a little late in posting this, but I just moved from Albuquerque, NM to humid Houston, TX. This move was with my job at Honeywell. I applied to work for the new Orion NASA project. Houston is one of many locations Honeywell is working the Orion project. I was assigned to work with the System Management group; more precisely the Command Sequence Automation group in System Management.

The transfer was a last minute move. I was notified officially around March 14, 2008 and started work on March 24, 2008. I had a house full of stuff that had to be packed and delivered. I decided to drive my truck with my motorcycle in the bed. That is 1100 miles! I had the pleasure of seeing my aunt and uncle on the way, which gave me a chance to say "bye" also. I tried to get clothing from NMSU, but the campus was closed up.

The weather is muggy and seems to rain every other day. My motorcycle seems to have 30+ more horsepower now that I'm closer to sea level. Not sure why, but my motorycle's battery seems to need to be replaced now. Oh, and the chain rusted out in about 2 days in H town.

One thing I love about this city is the abundance of things to do. Great parks, disc golf courses (Jack Brooks park is awsome), museums, etc.

I'll try to post pictures up soon.
