I like the earthiness of gardening.  And of course the produce...

beerning

'bout to head on out for happy hour... was going to the shack but rain has made sitting outside a less popular idea.

in other news, I'm getting slightly faster w/my protoss opening, but micro is still tricky. stupid casters.

Here.



Every day that goes by is one day closer to move in Nate!   (Sry - that doesn't help, does it.)



One beer down, considering another.      Fire built to dry out the water-logged running shoes.  Noon run was cold and sleety then snowy with a lot of puddles. 

Stopped at the liquor store and did a major restock.  Someone stopped me to thank me for buying their beer they saw in my cart (Firestone walker rep) and gave me some schwag.  Nice way to end a frustrating week.   

In other news:  I love dirt. And mud.  And puddles.

Your ability to see a machine as male or female kind of trips me out. I guess its probably culture but to me they are just nice pieces of equipment, ultimately just a thing.

I talk to them when I am in the shop and they are up in the lift . . . my nephew who "helped me out" a bit says the vibrations of the Ducati engines have loosened my bolts and nuts . . . and that I might need a reflash !!! I need to see the machines as something more, that's why I do what I do the way I do it, is not a job for me, it's how I like things done, I treat every single customer's bike as my own, even if it is a crapped out 848 . .. pics to follow . ..

Perhaps thats why my Bike is not so pristine. Well it seems to work for you.

Plus, I am usually alone at the shop . . .

I would not mind having an 848 as a 2nd bike ;-)

Although an 899 does look like it might work better, with better ergonomics....

[DarkMonster620]

Said 848:

>>> right side rear set tabs on frame are bent !!!

>>> bike veers to the left !!!

>>> battery box screw is on so thight, it broke the insert inside the rear battery case . .. and teh "y" pipe for coolant is broken >>> >>> bike was used like this for some time . . .

I think the damage is clear,

seeing things like this, hurts . . .

plop !!!

[Needle99]

Have you ridden both before Carlos?

[DarkMonster620]

848 & 899?

Only customers and the ones we sold . .  899 much much comfortable and needs more road; felt that Testatretta engine had more "oomp" middle rpm range . . .

See ya guys tomorrow . .  Shiwer sort of made me sleepy
