So Begins the Short Week
With Monday starting, I had breakfast then it is off to the cop shop with a stopover at Get Coffee for my morning java jolt. With the coffee cup mount on the Burgman, I can carry a medium coffee sized cup which will carry me through the lunch hour.
Arriving at work, I find that one [...]

After having a late breakfast, I started the Sunday chores. Laundry topped the list then helping my mother we separated the pork loin that I got from Kroger on Friday into smaller but manageable pieces for freezing. I think I am feeling the effects of my extended bike ride the day before, with my leg [...]

I head out early in the Versa to the DeKalb County Georgia Tag Office in Decatur. My chore for this early morning was to get the license plate for the Suzuki Burgman 650 so after breakfast I headed for the tag office. I got there before the opening, actually first in line and was in [...]

With the weather as it has been since Thursday, I used the Versa instead of the Burgman for the trips to and from work. I was kind of surprised with not getting any rain on Friday afternoon, the hit or miss thunderstorms pretty much missed us.

Around 5 AM Sunday, we had a nice rain storm pass through giving us a good soaking. Though a lot of lightning danced around us, the house kept power though the computer’s UPS could be heard compensating for the voltage irregularities. I slept in late; I think I needed the extra rest just from doing [...]

With the current weather patterns we have there is an ever-present threat of stormy weather with heavy rains. This is of course not conducive to riding the Burgman.
My mother who is still recovering from hip surgery had a hankering for Captain D’s fish so I had to take the Versa for the trip to and [...]
Oil Roulette and So You Want Chickens
With the announcement of a meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia over concerns of oil, and taking place outside of the normal OPEC membership there was some speculation driving up the prices yet again. As the collective concerns about the oil supplies will be addressed it leaves us with some interesting possibilities but will the [...]
