Re: What did you do today...
Currently in between GoProHD testing and mount testing. (Just came back in from riding and uploading videos, now I'll go back out and try different mounts). I think you will really enjoy this review when I am done with it soon.

Re: What did you do today...
Started a new job yesterday, naturally had my second day today. All the free stuff is incredible, though it will take some getting used to, this "having a cubicle" thing! Got a nice ride in, and picked up SOCOM 4 for PS3 WOOT!

The nice thing with bikes for me has been that they have been fun for a longggggg time after the first times. Just commuting on a bike is much nicer than cars - cars are so boring. And today after many years of different bikes and riding I rode something a bit different, and it was a good reminder to get back into the groove I was heading for already this year - dirt bikes.

Hopefully you will have time to create a blog here (motorcycle blogs: viewforum.php?f=32 ) and write about your class.

Re: What did you do today...
I am a Customer Solutions Specialist for a major chemical distributor. In other words I am an order taker for a (granted fancy, ultra-modern, and different ideologically) call center. Good news is I think the work will be relatively interesting as it seems 50%+ of my work will be fixing errors (since everything is so highly automated errors can happen easily)- which means a lot of variety of work. Great news is long term potential is really high, my neighbor has been there three years and done very well.

Re: What did you do today...
Well on Wed I bought this for my wife (paid cash and the salesman jaw like dropped saying he had never had someone pay cash before.... Like wtf thats why I havent had a vehicle loan for the past 5 years). Ignore the price cause I didnt pay that much.
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?c ... dard=false
course now today I found out they most likely screwed up the connectors in the vehicle because the tech 2 scanner my friend owns is coming up with wiring harness trouble codes in the seat air bag wiring. Which means the stealership I bought this from will be fixing it free o charge.
