October 24, 2010 Catch Up

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything new so today is the day to catch up a little bit.  Work around the outside of the house is winding down a bit for the year.  The weather has been just wonderful and we are so behind in rainfall it's not funny any more.  So, the top rails of the deck got a couple coats of polyurethane on them now and that just about finishes the deck.  I think I cut the grass for the last time yesterday as well as got the first downed leaves blown into the woods.  Inside the house things are getting done as well including work on all the toilets... pretty exciting, I know. 

I've been out on the motorcycle the past two Sundays and it's been rather wonderful as well.  With the heat taking a leave from the area it's so much nicer.  Last week it was a ride out west on the cruiser and today was a ride down south to Warm Springs and parts down that way.  A few weeks ago I took a drive to a motorcycle store -- accessory store, no motorcycles -- that was really nice.  I was looking for a pair of gloves that they didn't have in the store but I was glad I drove over there anyway.  It might be one of the nicest stores I've been in since leaving the Chicago area.  While there I noticed some rather nice mesh pants on sale for half price but they didn't have my size!  None of this mattered as all was available online and easy to get.  I got to try out the pants today and they are a wonderful addition to my riding apparel.  There's some kind of silk-like lining that I'll probably cut out but that will be another day.  Although I forgot to take my camera on the ride today, and that was a shame because there were some incredible vistas along route, I took a couple when I got home and those are below.

So, all is pretty well in Douglasville, GA and I hope all is well with whoever might read this as well.

There they are... the new mesh pants to go with the old mesh jacket.
