Harleys, birthdays & new technology!



So, today we got a new camcorder. Not only was our old camcorder not HD, it wasn't digital either! So, now we can take video and easily share it, either via the dvd burner we bought or by posting short clips here on our Blog! I guess this will probably have me updating the blog more often...

I'd like to say that Britt had a fantastic birthday, however she worked the night shift the night before and I know was plenty tired. Though, while she was asleep, I took the kids out for lunch at Portillos and to run some errands. When Britt woke up, we decided to go to the Zoo! Apparently we were among a million other people with the exact same idea! It was quite busy and Kelly was pretty fussy (especially when he couldn't ride the choo choo. We tried, but after waiting 20 minutes without progress, gave up). Anyways, we came home and I
made pizzas on the Big Green Egg. Then, Britt fell asleep on the couch at like 745! So, that was her exciting day.




Oh, and I got a Harley Davidson! It's a 2005 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail. I bought it used, but it only had 3600 miles! I've tried to ride it around the block, but am a little nervous until I go through the class. While riding around the block, I stalled it while turning left. Well, when the motor stalled, with the bike leaning, it wanted to go right to the ground! It took every ounce of strength I had to keep it off the ground. I was thankful I caught it, but it made me very nervous and sore (lots of muscles were apparently used! The bike is over 700 pounds!). I look forward to safe rides in the country, after I obtain my license. Britt surprised me with a traditional bell which is supposed to ward off the demons that can latch onto your bike and make it break down, crash, etc. You are supposed to mount it close to the road to ward off these guys! Needless to say, when I almost dumped the bike, I hadn't installed it yet!

That's it for now, isn't that enough?
