Hello, Is anyone home?

Wish I could say it's been a great summer, but I hate lying.

As some of you might have seen in the reply to the brackets....my work has been overworking us like crazy.  Since July 1st, I've had only 5 days off, and every other day has been 11+ hours, with no sign of it letting up soon.  This is what happens when you buy a network sight-unseen.
To top that off, the weather can't make up its mind to rain, bake, chill, or all of the above in the same day.  AND..the GPZ didn't want to start the last few times I wanted to ride.
The only good point to the whole summer is that I finally managed to get my Conceal Carry license, and went out and bought a pistol.  Once work gives me some free time, it's off to the range to use up some ammo.

Oh, and i did manage to get the bike started yesterday and rode to work.  It was WONDERFUL, even if it was 87 degrees and humid as a rainforest.  I think the battery is going.   If the bike is sitting for more than two weeks, it won't start without a recharge.  It'll crank...but I'm guessing no spark (I can smell the gas from the exhaust so I know it's getting fuel).

There's a few other personal issues making this summer miserable, but I won't bore ya'll.


Michael in Holley ( and hoping things look up before I call it quits and move to Phoenix)

I'm hoping everyone is out riding and having a great summer, because
this list is dead.
