SportyI didn’t get to ride much last season due to my school work and all of the projects around the house.  Late in the season, the ignition switch on my bike failed and that put an end to my riding for the year.

I found a good local Harley mechanic recently and took my bike to him to have it gone over.  For a 16 year old bike, it was in good shape, but it needed some TLC (and an ignition switch!).  Well, he took good care of it and did a fantastic job detailing my bike.  It looks almost new again!

The bike got a full inspection and service.  In addition, I had him put on new tires, a high flow air intake, and rejet the carb.  Now, I’m ready to roll!



Becky took Warren over to the state park today to play at the beach.  It’s the biggest sandbox ever!

I came across this article on LinkedIn yesterday: “Class of 2013: Four Things You Must Unlearn Immediately“.  I have decided to share it here because it resonated with me.

Over the years, I have had trouble accepting each of these things, and to this day, I still feel like I struggle at times, albeit much less now than 10 years ago.  The one item in particular that I had the most trouble unlearning is the idea that getting help is some form of cheating.  In the real world, collaboration is essential, and trying to do everything yourself is the key to burning out.

We have our annual yard full of dandelions.  What a beautiful day!
