I haven't had much time recently to check the board, and when I do I'm overwhelmed by all the new posts! You people talk waaaaaaay too much! <G>
I couldn't possibly read them all, but I try to read as many threads as possible.

At any rate, life has kept us very busy the past few weeks. The living room renovations took alot out of me...I can now understand why people pay other people to do that kind of work. However, it's alot closer to being done. The floor is finished, all that's really left to do is tidy up the trim and baseboards. It was alot of hard work, but the end results are worth it and it's nice to be able to say "I did it myself".



I've also been very busy at work. Our hours have increased, which is good for the paycheque, but bad for having a life. We've also re-negotiated our mortgage and borrowed against the equity to pay off some debts, buy a newer car for my wife, and allow me to replace the yellow Kawasaki Vulcan we had to sell last year. The replacement bike is also partly a "finished my probation at work so now I'm a permanent city employee" celebration gift. This past year has gone so well that I splurged a bit more than I'd planned to on a bike, and bought this little jewel yesterday...



I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be able to own a Harley. It's a 1998 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200C, in the 95th Anniversary Limited Edition version. The only downside is riding it will keep me in jeans rather than kilts alot of the time. LOL

Anyway, just thought I'd pop a post up so you'd know I was still alive. Cheers!
