Nothing. What's new with you?
Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Nothing much to say recently, I guess.
Been working a lot. Riding a lot. Weather's been good. Yep. Let's se...what have I done the last week or so?
First night of bowling. God a new teammate. He used to be in our league, so I know him. Good bowler and good guy - he'll fit in well with our team. We're getting shirts this year, and free of charge, to boot! They'll be busy, though. We've got the team name on there and logos from a printing company and a dental office. The printing company's a vendor of one of my teammates and is providing the product at cost. Another teammate is a dentist and he's taking care of the cost as a team sponsorship business expense. Anyway, I shot a 723 on the first night, so we're off to a flying start.
Saw The Lion King last week. Technically, it was amazing - very creative how they put it all together. The singing, dancing, stage direction were all incredible. It's a shame there's not much story behind it all. Very glad I went, but no deisre to see again.
Saw The White Stripes last week, too. Great time. haven't seen before just two people on such a big stage put forth a solid 2 hour show before. Good songs - lots of fun.
Yesterday, Dad and I took the bikes first to the car show/swap meet at the lake County Fairgrounds and then to a Thresheree in Milton, WI. The Thresheree was a giant antique tractor (and other equipment, mostly farm) show. They had steam engines pulling implements working a field; blacksmiths; steam engine train you could ride in; old tractors for sale; old tractors for sho (dozens of 'em, if not hundreds); a tractor parade that was at least an hour long; car show; flea market; very large steam powered equipment; a calliope; woodworkers. And I'm probably still forgetting something. Just huge. There were at least 10 steam powered tractors in the parade. Great show and a great ride. If I go again, I'd skip the other car show and go stright to Milton. The title gets you to their website and pictures, but they don't do it justice.
I noticed that as of yesterday, I've put 10,000 miles on this motorcycle. When I bought it, it had 4,700 miles and I just turned 14,800.
Lori's been in Texas and on a copule of trips with the band for the last 2-3 weeks. She packs up today and starts back fro home tomorrow which means I should probably clean up the cigar butts, empty beer cans, old pizza boxes and porn (Rachel Ray cookbooks - Ohhhhhhhhh...) before she gets back.

A 723 on the first night? Nothing like starting off with a bang. Good job!
So, how long have you had the bike? Do you concider the 10k miles a lot in that time, or a little?
I don't know if 10k is a lot or not, but it's a milestone. The bike is a '95, I bought it in March of '02. So, 10k in 4 years, compared to 4.7k in 7 years. It's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but like I said, it's a milestone.
Truth be told, I'm probably more proud of the longer trips I've been on - Ladysmith a couple of times, Cleveland, Iowa. I'm still hoping to ride to St. Louis and/or Kokomo before the year's out, but I'm running out of time.
Yeah, 723. No where to go but down! :) Although after that I've put off buying the new ball I was looking at. Hooray, because I need gas money!
How can you justify a new ball if your shooting 723 with the old one?
Although, the Rachel Ray Porn mix has got me thinking. The audio from one can be easily transposed on the other. All Rachel does is say Mmm and Ohh thats so good.
