One step closer gear wise to making this motorcycle thing happen. I bought this off of my neighbor Jamie for $200 which is a real steal since it runs around $600 with tax at any motorcycle shop. Fits great though I’m not used to how freaking huge motorcycle helmets make your head look. At least it’s a quality helmet for the ole’ noggin.... Permalink

Yup, I pulled the trigger on signing up for local riding classes. Yesterday Jamie (neighbor) and went to a motorcycle shop and I picked up some protective riding gloves or the occasion. Now I just need to get some ankle covering shoes and I’m pretty much all set. I think I’m going to buy Jamie’s extra brain bucket off of him for cheap as well. It’s a $600+ helmet for $200 so at least it’s a good one. It’s a large but it seems to fit my head fairly well, in fact I tried on both a large and a... Continue Reading

Yes, I’m still alive. I know it’s been awhile but I’m still here. A lot’s been going on and I honestly haven’t had time recently to sit down and write. Last weekend a group of us got together to paint big Vinny’s new place down the hall from his house. George, Matthew, Vinny and I got quite a bit done in one day including the master bedroom, living room, dining room and about half of the third bedroom (office) all while drinking beer and doing tequila shots. Not bad, haha. The rest of the weekend was spent hanging by the... Continue Reading

The pool was as packed as I’ve ever seen it yesterday. It felt like 610 Clematis Spring Break ’09 here, it was great. Most took it fairly easy this weekend, most meaning Vince, Annette and I. Not too hectic and overall very relaxing. A couple birthdays were celebrated as well, both Zak and Melissa had their birthdays over the weekend so we did it up on Friday night instead of the usual all weekender. Happy birthday guys! Great time overall, sorry I couldn’t make it out on Saturday night Zak, I was exhausted from the beach earlier in the day.... Continue Reading

We “almost” had surf over the weekend. Not here, mind you…up in Juno, but even that didn’t pan out the way we’d all hoped. Yup, it’s the typical summer “Lake Atlantic” summer doldrums. It’s getting so hot outside doing anything aside from lounging in the pool requires you to sweat your ass off. Yesterday Vince and I hit the driving range for about an hour (tops) and wow was it hot. Of course my golf swing has once again gotten rusty and my dumb ass grabbed the wrong clubs out of my closet. I unfortunately grabbed my old crappy ones... Continue Reading

Last night I attended a Web Meet-up group down at Roxies in the hope of networking and conversing with others in my field. Unfortunately half of the participants were unable so show because it was postponed to Tuesday (normally it’s held on the first Monday of the month). Overall it was pretty cool and informative. I’m not much of a full blown programmer so the Ruby presentation was pretty much over my head. The CSS frameworks presenter was of those unable to attend, which was my secondary purpose for being there. The only thing that really irked me was one... Continue Reading

Yeah, it’s been that long since I moved to sunny South Florida, and overall it’s been a good decision. Of course, as you’re probably aware, I’ve had my down-times over the last five years. Three job changes, thee apartments and too many failed relationships…but that’s neither here nor there. I moved down July 4th of 2004 to work with NativeRemedies.com, my friend’s company here in Palm Beach County. He and I were like brothers back in Ohio living in Mt. Adams. He moved down a year before me and one day I got the call for an in-house web designer... Continue Reading
