I've been getting lax about posting lately. Monday we did our 1 year follow-up with the adoption agancy. It is hard to believe that it has been a whole year since we adopted our daughter. She turns 3 in less than 2 weeks now and we are plannign her birthday party. That should be fun. She wants to do a princess theme.

We went bowling last night.. it was fun but the only strike that I got was the result of bouncing the ball out of the gutter halfway down the lane. I have a witness or I don\think anyone would believe me.

We might not be doing the bike cruise Sunday since we don\'t have anyone to watch Katya. Maybe if the blueberry festival is delayed a week from the late harvest we\'llget lucky. Somehow I doubt it....

She found a bike just her size at the dealership the other day.

gps on the bike

why is it that auto/motorcycle manufacturers can\'t seem to gear a speedometer correctly? I mounted the GPS on the bike and it is off by 3 mph @ 55 mph....

well, one thing is certain... Katya makes friends easily. At the park she runs and plays with new friends every time we go. It's amazing how far she has come in a year... Next saturday will be one year since we adopted her. Its amazing how time flies....



I had a bit of a scare today when a bolt fell out of the front fender and the wheel kicked it up over the handlebars... I stopped and found the bolt and took it back to the dealer to have them check the bike over. I have 314 miles on it already. Tomorrow we are going to buy Rain a helmet so she can ride too.

Well, We took Katya to get Xrays done to rule out TB. I hope it comes back negative, I'd hate to have her on medication for the next 6 months....
 
I've been riding the bike to work all week and I absolutely love it. It's a good thing that I have rain gear in my pack.. Today when going to Staples I needed it.
 
I fixed the air in the Jeep - I went to Pep Boys last night and bought a recharge kit and it seems to have done the trick. I just hope it doesn't leak out too fast.

well, I did it... I bought a 500cc Kawasaki Vulcan... brand spanking new, it had 1 mile on it when I drove it home. Now it has about 70 miles on It and I am really loving this. I made room in the shed to park it and built a ramp. I plan on driving it to work whenever I can. I'll put the laptop in a backpack.

Life moves on.... I finally got the last of the camp gear put away. Now when I get a bike I can pick it up with the trailer.

It's official... I have my motorcycle license. Now I have to find a bike to ride. I hope to find something pretty cheap for a starter bike. I figure the next one can be a little nicer, but since I don't have a garage it won't be kept up as nice as it could be.

I did it!

I passed my test! Now I just have to file the paperwork at DMV and I'll be a licensed motorcycle driver. Yay!

This weekend I am going to be taking my motorcycle class. lf all goes well, I will have my license on Monday... Then I'll be ready to buy my own bike when I find the right one. I won't have to worry about whether or not it will get through the course or not. Rain is visiting friends since I won't be home most of the weekend anyway.



Tomorrow we're getting the portab le air conditioner for my office/server room. No more 80 degree temps in there.... Yay!

It's been hell week at work. I still have not had a chance to unload the trailer since I have been working late every day. Ugh!
