2/25/2006 Finally getting the blog up to date and I got my Christmas Present in today. My new scuba diving gear showed up today. I can’t wait to get back to Florida to play with it.

2/24/2006 I was at the gym working out today with my buddy Steph when I got a phone call from The Weather Channel. “Doug, can you go to Duluth and get us video for Evening Edition?” Hmm, let’s see, Duluth is about 200 miles away from my place, its 2:00 P.M. and I all of my equipment was at home. Um Sure… we wrapped up the work out and I bailed home to pack my gear and hit the road. A couple hour’s later and I was in downtown Duluth with about a foot of new snow.

I have never been to Duluth but I was suppose to come up here on a weekend vacation last summer until a storm ruined those plan’s and everything else… Duluth seems like an ok town but it seemed to me as a place that was cool to visit but I would not want to live there. I stayed for a while and into the overnight and shot some more video for the network before I came back home. The snow was deep in parts of town but the hill’s in town and the change in elevation was what really got me. It was about 650 feet at the lake and you gained almost 600 feet just driving up a few miles to the west. My ears popped and I could really feel the change in air pressure.

02/23/2006 I got the new site up and running for the Hurricane Katrina Home Video DVD. This is to go along with the Nola.com stuff that I’m doing. The new site is now the Hurricane Katrina Blog and Hurricane DVD Storm. The site is www.NolaKatrinaDVD.com . I was also out playing Weather Channel Photographer in Minneapolis again today. A very busy day indeed!!!

2/22/2006 This morning I was out shooting for The Weather Channel. Not feeling that good with all the traveling and the poor bed in Denver at the hotel. I am not a fan of the sleep number beds. Nice hotel but it had a lot of issues…

2/20/2006 We blew off the convention on Sunday afternoon to go have a BNVN Business Meeting in the mountains… Click on the small thumbnails to view the larger photographs.

2/17/2006 For the first time in a long time I was out having a lot of fun out goofing off with some friends today. We went out snowmobiling up in the mountains and I have not had that much fun in years. Tony, Verne, Verne’s wife Amanda and myself hired a private guide for the day to take use around the continental divide in Summit County.

2/19/2006 At the convention, My chase partner and good friend Chris who I partnered up with for the Hurricane Charley DVD and the Septembers Fury project was playing with a Van de Graaff generator.

2/16/2006 On vacation in Colorado for the National Storm Chasing Convention but I came out early to have some fun.

2/15/2006 It is cold out and I was back out shooting video for The Weather Channel again in downtown Minneapolis.

Today was busy out covering the snow in the Twin Cities for The Weather Channel. Now its back to finishing up the editing of the video’s for the new site.
