Work has been, well, work! I'm getting a lot of over-time which means I'm getting more tasks than time (and more challenging). My position really needs another me -- there needs to be two people in my current position or else someone to do the maintenance and stomp out the little fires that plague my days. I'm waiting for the day when my manager has a meeting with me and our HR gal and tell me that I'm going to be salaried...with no change in pay...
Last week (or maybe it was the week before?) I got a flat rear tire on my Duc. Got both of the original stock tires replaced with Michelin Power Pure and --BAM!-- the grip is nice! Also removed the questionable stock RR (voltage regulator/rectifier) with a MOSFET unit so I'll never have to worry about cooking my butt, having my bike burst into flames a la X-Wing Fighter, or worrying about her dying mid-ride due to the crappy OEM RR failing. Ooh, ooh, I also got a rear hugger which is basically a shorty rear fender. Having tested it in a section of muddy road I can attest that it keeps the everything clean from the bottom of the battery lid and down LOL! Well, at least the engine will remain cleaner heheh.
I'm so happy that the weather is FINALLY cooperating, allowing me lots of ride time. It's such a different riding experience 'tween the two (my Ducati vs. my Honda). I'm much more comfortable on my Duc and am practicing my launches, to get moving from a stop quickly while keeping the front tire on the ground...well, for the most part ;-)
Well, off to PGE Park for some kids event Intel is doing. God I'm glad I don't work there any more!
