Stacks on deck, Patron on ice

And we can pop bottles all night

So its been a pretty damn good week. Been trying a lot of different things and it seems like those changes are working out well which makes me happy as hell. We will see how long I stick with those changes but for right now I am happy with those changes. Not going to go more in depth as I don’t want to jinx myself.

Last week I mentioned that I was going to drop the bike off at the shop. Dropped her off on Monday afternoon, finally found out what was going on yesterday. Admittedly I was pretty damn frustrated while I was waiting since it seemed that I couldn’t get a straight answer as to what the hell was going on. Yesterday I found out that the short had been found and that it was, surprise, due to the light bar! Still not sure what all is going on, but I should be finding out in around an hour or two. Slim chance that I will even be able to pick up the bike today which, if it happens, would be outstanding. Would make me happier then a pig in shit so to speak. Especially since I dropped her off during a week that would have been stellar for riding. 90+ temps a few days this past week and frankly, the bike is cheaper then A/C.

I am also in the midst of a 4 day weekend, with this being day two. So while I would love to be out riding as much as possible during these days off its also doing wonders for me to clear my head and not put up with the normal b.s. that comes with any 9-5er. Or in my case, 7-3:30 but whatever. Also surprisingly I am not torching my sleep schedule (at least yet) been up by about 7 am both days off so far with no real difficulty, which is admittedly late for me during the work week but not terrible.

Really looking forward to Andy getting here. According to the countdown on my phone its ~20 days until I see him. Means ~23 days until I get to see Trevnor as well. Believe me when I say that I can’t wait. I just hope that MvsC2 hits XBLA before he gets here. Course if it doesn’t I can always play it on the dreamcast with him which is also killer. Been meaning to grab some DS games as well so that I can play some during the increased downtime of my life but it hasn’t grabbed me lately. Still another game or two would be great for the trip down there and while those two do their thing (read: 40k)

I have been surprising myself again lately and cooking dinner most nights. Its not always the healthiest meals but I have been making dinner again which is a good start. I need to start making pastas again but with the 90+ degree temps that we have been rocking I have been loathe to turn on the oven or stove in any way. Instead its been things like a salad and pork chops in the toaster oven. Never knew how much I would come to love that thing when it was gifted to me after high school. Hell, lasted a lot better then my microwave which I got at the same time.

Still waiting a bit on my new laptop. Really looking forward to having a new toy to play with. Seriously, now that I think I have figured out what I am going to do with it I am anxious to get around to it. Also makes me more interested in getting an iPhone so that I can potentially do tethering with it. Then again I don’t want to pay those service charges yet. That might change in the future though, who knows.

Other then that, life is pretty much the basic status quo. Kinda wordy for a “life is the same, carry on boys” update I suppose but hey, its early enough here and I still have ~ 35 minutes until I can call the shop to find out more about my bike. Obviously a touch anxious on that one as I want it back.

    Haven’t you been having problems with that light bar for a while now?

    Good to hear that everything is going so smoothly in your life. Get your baby back, and hang with the boys. You will be like a new man. 🙂

    The light bar has given me problems before, some my own fault admittedly. It stems from the fact that I believe it wasn’t installed professionally so the wiring is, or at least was, pretty fubar. Hopefully this will fix things and make it better but its one of those “we shall see” things. Overall I still like having it.

    My life is often going smoothly, I keep her on the tracks these days. Plenty of examples of what happens when you don’t out there for me.

    No need to be a new man, I am perfect the way I am!
