...I am going to get back in the groove on this blog.

Sorry about the lack of posting. Life kind of got in the way. Many of you have noticed that a lot of my postings are either during the work day, or late at night. Well, I've been limiting my personal internet time at work on purpose and I have been trying to go to bed earlier and be a responsible adult.

Other than that, I've been spending time with the kids. We watched Tron Legacy this weekend. I'm going to watch it at least 20-30 more times as loud as I can because it sounds awesome. It also makes me want to get on my motorcycle more. I did ride in today. I didnt care that it was 80 when I left the house. I needed to ride. I'm still getting used to it, but I am handling it better each time I am on it.

More posts to come... on a more frequent and hopefully daily basis again.

Thank you for reading.

...I had a great ride in to work.

She's been named "Black Widow"
Today it's official. It's mine. I transferred the title over to me.  Got a plate for it. Rode it in to work. It was really windy out this morning but it didn't really feel all that bad once I was out there. I missed the feel of doing 70 on the freeway with the wind pressing against my body. For people who don't ride and are afraid of it, it's hard to explain. There is nothing like it. It's the most alert you'll ever be while driving. You know where everything is. I hear it, see it, smell it (not all of it is good.) There is a huge feeling of freedom while riding. I love every second of it. Some of the people I love are not too thrilled about it, but they understand that it is something that lives within and won't be going away anytime soon. For those of you who are concerned about me riding. I always wear my helmet. I have an armored jacket as well.

Today was better because I had a great ride in to work on a bike that is all mine.

...I won't have to get my drivers license renewed until 2018.

So, I had to go to the mighty DMV today. I needed to get my license renewed. They let these things go for 8 years now. Nice to know that as long as I don't lose it, I wont have to go back until 2018. I will have to go again to get the bike titled and plated. That's easy stuff.

I'm actually not one to complain about the DMV. They changed how their system works so that it runs MUCH faster. They make you go to an information window first. You tell them why they are there, then they give you ALL the forms you need to fill out and a number. Then, you fill them out and wait for the number to be called.

It's a lot better than 20 years ago when I got my license. I must have been in line for hours just to find out I needed to fill out something and get back in line.

...I am one step closer to the weekend.

I have a lot going on this weekend. Movie and dinner along with a housewarming is tonight. Tomorrow I have house things to work on. Sunday is the yearly cookout at Rob's. And Monday is just a lazy day with my lady.
