I've had a busy month. 

First, I tried a two week long jury trial.  That was so much work.   12 hours a day at the court house then back to the office to check messages.

The day after the trial ended, I flew to Mexico for a week.  I got back the day before Thanksgiving.  I went to the Riviera Maya.  Went deep sea fishing, climbed a Mayan temple (at Coba), went to Coco Bongo in Cancun, etc.  Good times.  I grew my winter (full) beard. 

As a result, I have ridden twice all month.  I rode this weekend.

I felt pretty uncomfortable.  I didn't trust the tires.  I didn't trust the road.  I didn't trust cagers.   All signs that I need to get out on the bike more. 

But I'm glad to be back.  It is time to get caught up on some work. 

I missed you guys.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Believe it or not... no!  I was off of work all last week, my wife had umbilical hernia surgery and I had to take care of the kids.  Got out a little bit Saturday, left after Mizzou scored the last touchdown.  And a tiny bit Sunday, of course I rode to work today.  I was so happy for Mizzou to win, I was going to ask you about everyone jumping off the bandwagon prior to the game.  Still have a bad taste in my mouth from the KU-KSU game, if I were a more violent person, I would be patching up some drywall!

Did I tell you I was at the MU-KSU game?  That was a long time ago.  You guys tainted your win over Texas by losing to KU.  They suck!!  We fitted them for a clown suit this weekend.   Then those ass holes beat Florida in basketball.  Can't I have one perfect day?  Just one?

Anway, I rode a bit on Friday.  Did the Weston loop.  Felt sketchy but the bike ran nice.  I want to get some new tires.  Those old Dunlops have me a little freaked out. 

Hope your wife is okay.  Dell's is having a ride on the 9th we should go on.  What do you say?

I guess the Dell's ride would be a good time to try and win a free set of tires.  Sounds like a good time to me, I have to go to baptism class for my girls at 10ish, but should be donw before noon and I will go out after that.  Time to really test out the grip heaters! +1 on the KU situation, I said the same thing Sunday morning! Man, KU sucks! Wife is doing well, just taking a while to heal.

I got so new squidly Joe Rocket gloves from Spooner (and a trickle charger, dead batteries rule).  They are pretty warm actually.

The Indian Summer will be gone mid week.  I may want to stash my bike at your place for a couple days until this cold front moves through.

No problem, let me know. I have a trickle charger as well, if you need to charge the battery. Oh yeah, did you win your trial?

I lost the two week jury trial.  I thought we had them and I think we put on a better show.  But the jury must not have believed my client.  Bummer.
I won a trial this morning, however.  Nice!

Hey, I may call you after work.  It is supposed to snow maybe.  I may bring the Shawk by tonight.  I plan on finding a better storage place for once I winterize it for good.  My buddy Klink's house, or my mom's.  But there are a few good days left so I'll call you tonight.
