Wow, that's still a lot of snow. Melt any further yet? Congrats on selling the house. Do you have another lined up already?
Hope the new job's going okay!

Well, all the snow is finally gone (about 2 and a half weeks now)
got the bike out for a couple short little rides these past couple days and my last run off. and no blizzard yet......
I have to bring the bike into the shop though, its STILL got that stupid front brake squeal. but since I wont be in town to ride til next thursday, this should be enough time for them to fix it without cutting into my riding time..thank you warrentee.
New job is great, new equipment sure makes working easier. everything works, no fucing around all day trying to use old gear, its great.
that and my bonous over 4 shifts was more then I made in a month in my old job..
yay me.

wells, I am gonna go for a ride shortly..... just thought Id share a story...
In the city Im moving to, I have seen alot of people on motorcycles. Its a big Harley town, so mostly cruisers, but the occational sport bike crosses my path. The other day I see a guy riding a Yamaha R1, wearing a real nice full face helmet, a tank top (and a vest, extra layer of cloth will help eh?) a pair of cut off shorts, baseball gloves and shower flip flops.... Now I see this and go, well, the guy must not care much for his skin...thne he pulls ahead of me, (the road is not the smoothest BTW) and starts riding down the 4 lane with no hands....arms crossed..... now no gear, I dont think thats the smartest thing to do (just my opinion.) no gear and wearing a wife beater and cut offs.... kinda dumb right? But no gear, wearing wife beater, cut offs and flip flops while riding with no hands on a crappy road.... I hope he likes pavement......
I am now going riding... ATGATT.
