Changes

After spending some time looking at really good blogs (ie, way mo betta than mine) I made some visual changes to the blog here. I deactivated Facebook yet again, opting for Google+ for a while to see if its worth keeping around. So far, with the amount of inactivity and the few things that have been internet fluff posted, I'm not sure how active I'll be with G+. However, I think its a step in the right direction for clearing out the clutter and not paying as much attention to my phone. As I sat in bed with my wife yesterday, we were interrupted a few times within two minutes by FB updates hitting my phone before I finally just signed out of it. It was nothing even worth looking at, so now its gone. G+ doesn't even have an app for the iphone, so that saves me from looking at it too often.

I don't know if it was the glory of buying a new bike, being back in the shop regularly, or the bit of sunshine we've had, but I've been crazy about motorcycles again. Last summer I felt that I didn't really have any excitement for riding and I only rode the 636 around a few times (the DRZ had that blown counter sprocket shaft seal) and the fact that I cut my thumb off hindered my riding ability. This year, however, I've been on the bikes a lot, the DRZ is fixed and there is a new Triumph in the garage. I have a CRF250x to ride in the dirt and the cb500 will be getting more attention.

Summer is good. Life is good despite all of the set backs and lack of work. The world is still revolving and going on. I'm glad to be enjoying it.
