Hopefully I will be cruising around on this baby when the roads clear up...

No hopefully about it. You WILL be riding around on it.
It's a beauty.

Woke up too early. Did some laundry. Ran up my cell phone bill. Fixed the hem on a pair of pants. Got a massage. Baked a cake. Made a mushroom/feta cheese omelette. Did the dishes. Defended my position in a TMW thread.
Going to camera club.

Busy lady today Blues.

I threw out the eggs in my incubator that were not developing.
I decided I will sell my bike so I can try to get a couple of dirt bikes for my son and me. I didn't get a massage like blues but I did give the wife one.
Now I am going to poke around the internet and read and go to sleep.
Anyone wanna GS500?

Woke up early, because Her Majesty was power-thrashing around and stealing the covers the whole night in bed. Surfed the web, did my laundry, had brekkie, went with Her Majesty to the Jeep dealer to have her '04 Liberty checked out for an engine misfiring problem... again.

Had a great lunch at a Thai restaurant, went home, surfed the web some more, answered the phone and accepted an interview request next Wednesday for a job, looked at my new (to me) '99 JMC Jimmy again (scheduled for pickup next Friday), surfed some more when I got home, ate a light supper (third week of Weight Watchers, now 6lb lighter), watched TV, got a phone call from an old friend out west, surfed some more and responded to a thread on a motorcycle forum asking what I did today.

Lucky wife.

I took the cake to the camera club to share. It didn't last long.

I headed downtown early and met up with drbar. We had breakfast and did some crosswords.
We spent time in the new suzuki dealership near home. I bought a pair of real riding boots.
I took my car in to get checked. It was making some unusual rattly noises.
I got my hair cut.
I picked up my repaired car....new water pump, serpentine belt and a new fill of anti-freeze. The bearing had gone in the water pump and had started to leak. I got it to the mechanics on time. The fluid had all but drained out of it.

The car sounds so good again. I'm so broke again. sigh......

that's a royal star midnight venture in blue. those bikes are just awesome. comfortable as hell, easy to ride for as big as they are, put a set of bub pipes on them and it sounds like a small block chevy when you lay on the throttle, i'm regretting not buying one when i had the chance.

i'm so jealous of the good doctor right now

Wrider has it correctly, it's the Royal Star Venture. The midnight version comes only in straight black, although it's an incredible black, lol. I will be in Calgary for most of this week and will complete the sale on my return. Now if I can sell that incredible Honda, (I wish I could afford both) I'd be back in a rosier financial spot...
