What you did today

I've got a Honda Civic as my main car at the moment. As for motorcycles, what kind did you get Gorth? I've driven BMW bikes a little and that's about it so, yeah, not much help there... :ermm:

As a n00b, there are limits to what you can drive in Australia (engine performance). Makes sense too. Even if I am a bit old for a beginner :)

 

A new Honda CB400 (2009 model). Looked like the most likely candidate to be a low maintenance thing and not kill me outright on my first few kilometers.

As to GD's comment, how much did that car cost you?

$800. Engine was shot. I bought a rebuild kit and a new carbuerator and 4 new tires for $500 so all told I had $1300 in it by the time it was drivable. My dad and I did all the work. Whatever I know about auto mechanics today I learned from him.

My point was mainly that for comparable money he'd get something probably in the same ballpark in terms of workability, but he probably couldn't rebuild his car because of all the tech that's in there now a days.

Good point. He probably could not. The days of shade tree mechanics are long gone. Heck I don't even do my own oil changes anyome. It costs more to buy the filter and oil and pay the disposal fee for the old oil than it does to take it in to a shop.

I managed to neatly answer my internal debate over when I was fit enough to stop using the step machine and go back to running. I went on it for too long, it overheated and appears to have melted.

An opportunity to take over a small established tech business has come our way, and we're going to take it. Hubby can keep his current clients as well and there's no investment beyond time...so this should be very lucrative, relatively speaking. Could even mean early 'retirement'. Assuming, of course, it all goes as well as it seem like it should.

 

It pays to keep in touch with people...you never know what will come out of it years later.

planning another afternoon/evening picnic for this week

 

the one we had the other day was quite a success, and people seemed keen on the idea that it should be a regular occurrence :)

Today I noticed Google's new, longer text input fieldbox.

 

It's so vital and helpful, I love this new "feature!" I can now type in supercalifragilisticexpialidocious+cultural+impact+hollywood+duet and look back to check my spelling without having to scroll back!

 

Google is always thinking about the comfort of the user. I am impressed.

Very cool, and look theres one for sale in AU. What color did you order?

"tri-color"

 

Call me paranoid, but I would like to be seen in the traffic :)

 

(they only had the black model in stock, otherwise I could have had it already Monday)

went out for dinner last night with a couple of friends

 

one of them is a chef, and he suggested this turkish restaurant that he'd been to before

 

turns out he knew the manager, so we scored a table without having to make a booking, and after our meal they brought out a bellydancer to dance for us :p

Spent all day at the beach yesterday getting slammed by 4-6 ft. high onshore waves. A better time can't be had.

 

Today will be a sit on the couch and watch NFL football from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. I missed football and am glad it's back again, Then it's on to HBO for the season finale to True Blood and Hung with as episode of Entourage thrown in.
