Re: What did you do today...
Lol no still as single as ever. Not a student, I've decided that while I love to learn, school just isn't my place. I'm working at a factory making wind turbine blades now. Vestas V110 blades to be specific.
What are you up to? Still making trouble in the great not-so-white north?

Re: What did you do today...
Well...today I gave away my Kona mountain bike to a young man who needed some transportation, has had 2 bikes stolen and can't afford to buy another. I still have another bicycle...
As I slowly prepare for a move later this year...I am purging what I can to make my move quick and simple. I want to downsize.
Then I went to my nephew's 10 birthday party. He said now that he is in a double digit age he feels old and frail. hahahahaha

Didn't you move into that place........... well, I dunno, wasn't it just a few years ago???blues2cruise wrote:As I slowly prepare for a move later this year...I am purging what I can to make my move quick and simple. I want to downsize.
(It was probably ten years ago, and I'm just having age-related time compression! )

I moved to where I am because my job moved. I bought one this big because at the time I honestly thought the man I was with was going to move in with me. Turned out he was unable to make a commitment....so...I said bye-bye...I can't put my life on hold.....
I plan to retire this year....therefore...I can get a smaller place away from the city.
I got rid of another thing today..... I want my move to be super easy.

Re: What did you do today...
Drive back up from ny last night to start my week at work again. Lots of snow here and a bit down there. Looking forward to next week off as its march break and I'll have my son for the week. It's his 10th birthday as well. Should be a good time! Slowly working on the bike in the basement. Another month and a half should be good to go for a ride weather wise.

Re: What did you do today...
Rode a motorcycle to work 5 days out of 5 this week. That's insane for March in New Jersey! It's rare enough that I can do it in the summer. We had incredibly nice weather for March this week - the one rainstorm happened overnight and it was dry again the next morning.

Re: What did you do today...
Started going to the gym today. Been on a diet/exercise regime with my wife since Jan 1. I'm down 21 lbs and she is down 28. Now it's time to tone up a bit.

Re: What did you do today...
I took my car in for its scheduled maintenance and inspection...oil, winter tires off and summer tires on, a couple of light bulbs...brake fluid flush...
I was pleased to hear that the brakes still don't need doing...after five years and 74,000km...the car still has over half the brake lining.
It did, however, need a new battery. Like everything else...batteries have a life span...

Re: What did you do today...
That post was Feb 15, 2014. Yesterday we attended Lonnie's service, along with several dozen members of the Sober Riders MC, and paid our respect to Lonnie and his widow. Amazing that he held on for more than two years with a six-month prognosis by the doctors, an incredibly strong man.JackoftheGreen wrote:We helped orchestrate a fund raiser today, it went well and though we're both tired we're in good spirits.
A rider friend of ours was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just before Christmas, they gave him six months tops and he and his wife decided they wanted to go to Disneyland sometime before he got too sick to go. Thus was born the 'Lonnie's Disney Dream' fundraising effort, which culminated tonight in an evening of potluck dinners, a raffle, and two local comedians. Dozens of local businesses donated more than $5,000 worth of goods and services to be raffled, everything from gift certificates for massages, hair cuts, tanning and oil changes to scented candles, crocheted and knitted craft items and even a couple solar powered charging packs like the ones GoalZero makes. Lots of friends turned out and opened their hearts and wallets, and I'm happy to say Lonnie and Linda will be able to do Disneyland in style. It's just a shame they wont be able to go by bike for this last road trip.
Enjoy your time while you've got it.
