Dreary Monday Morning

Posted on January 25, 2010

This is what Mondays always seem to feel like. Today it just happens to look the same. Overcast and gray though not quite raining.

The weekend wasn’t too bad. I headed down to Delray on Saturday night for Deano’s 35th birthday party. Most of the SA gang was there for dinner at Le Cabanna on Atlantic. It was good to see everyone but I wasn’t able to stay too long after dinner as I was on the bike and riding on a Saturday night is a bit dangerous. Way too many drunks out so I headed home early. Happy birthday big guy, I miss you all.

Gearheads, Rednecks and Sportbikes…Awesome

Last night I joined Jamie for a ride up to what used to be Moroso Speedway (forgot what it’s called now) for some drag racing. Nice night ride on the bikes up, a bit chilly but fun. His buddy Adam was racing his Kawasaki ZX1400 (same bike as Jamie, though race tuned) on the strip against a couple other bikes. We had a chance to watch him hit the strip twice, both times were right around 9.87 seconds. Quick!

Loads of hotrods, slicks, funny cars, road rockets and even a couple supercharged Jeep Cherokees. Loud, smokey and awesome. The scenery reminded me of the Highland County Fair, though regrettably not nearly as many red necks. Plenty of junk in the truck though, haha.

Aside from the 45 minute track shut-down for an oil spill it was pretty bad ass. I shot some video and snapped a few shots. I’ll post the video later.

Finally, I Fixed It

I had set up my blog to feed directly into Facebook for the longest time. Though it’s not a bad idea it did make me think twice about posting since I knew it was going through to Facebook.

It took a while to find what exactly it was I did to make it happen in the first place since Facebook has changed it’s layout and I had no idea where the damn setting was to turn it off (hint, it’s under “import blog” to your wall).

So now they’re completely separate once again and I can write nonsense just like I used to. Yay.

Warmer Weather’s On The Way

Posted on January 14, 2010


Well, for us anyway. Today’s the first morning in a week or so I haven’t seen my breath when I walk out on the balcony. Only 54 degrees this morning. Soon we’ll be back in the 70′s where we belong. Finally I won’t be freezing my ass off on the motorcycle when I want to go somewhere.

Still Kickin

Sorry for the lack of writing lately. I’ve been busy with work and there really hasn’t been much to write about. New years was cool, nothing to brag about. The weather seems to be the most prevalent topic lately since it’s been so freakin’ cold here I can’t believe it. 30s in the mornings and it has rarely gotten over 45 degrees over the last few days. Feels like I’m still living in Ohio!

At least the sun finally came back out over the last two days but I have yet to get back on the motorcycle and go anywhere. Way too cold for a quick ride out to the beach even if just to get out of the house.

It’s due to warm back up over the next week or so. Hell, last week it was 83 one day so I took advantage of the warmth and hit the pool for a couple hours with Jamie and Matthew. At least I got a little color back.

There has been surf but I’m not hauling my boards down to the beach in this weather. Even with a wetsuit, the walk back would probably send me into hypothermia.

    I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.

    Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
