I wound up riding home in that wonderful little thunderstorm we had
last night. It was not a lot of fun.
So if you have the chance to ride in the pouring rain, don't its
really not that much fun.
The good news is that the hard bags on the bike stayed nice and dry
on the inside and the tires (Michelin Pilot Roads) felt well planted
the whole way home.
Sunday I spent about 3hrs putting the panniers on the side of the
bike. They look nice, but man are they a pain in the butt to put on.
It didn't help that the instructions are not much clearer then mud.
My mom just called and my Saddlebags just came in!
Maybe I will put them on over lunch
Jennifer is getting a lot more from her Insurance company then she
was expecting. (It still isn't enough, but much better then expected)
Jen's parents live near the coast and so they are headed this way to
avoid Rita.
My Saddlebags have landed in Fort Worth so they may be in tomorrow!
The comm system should be showing up soon too! This could be a fun
weekend unless Rita messes up the weather too much.
That ST1300 the I referred to earlier was sold as soon as I looked
at it.
I think that I would like try a ST but nobody wants to give me a test
ride. I am going up to Honda West in Ft Worth to have a test-sit and
see what I think.
I can get a brand new ST for $12,000 in North Oklahoma, but its a 5hr
drive. but for nearly $2,000 its worth the trip. I will try to talk
Honda West down.
So I really like my VFR but I keep wondering if I would rather have a
ST1300. Well I accidently ran across a ad for a 2003 ST1300 with
4200mi, an extended warranty that expires in 2010 and a custom seat.
Oh this bike is a beautiful Silver.
I still owe on my VFR and I just ordered the hard bags for it too. :(
Really don't know what to do about this. I would like to try a ST
before I make the jump, but the Honda dealers don't do demo rides. :(
I am just wondering if I am going miss the power/handeling of the VFR.
Guess I will pray about it and go from there.
Had a bunch of friends over to wakeboard at my house Friday
afternoon. They all hung around till ~10:00pm then headed home. On
her way home Jennifer lost control of her car and rolled it.
She faired well as she had her seat belt on and the Airbags deployed.
Other then being sore I think she is OK.
Unfortunately her car is totaled. She did have full coverage on her
insurance on it, but since it was a '98 model it wasn't worth much.
Please keep the process of getting insurance and a new car
straightened out in your prayers.
When I got home last night my mom was on the phone with Larry. so I
joined them and talked with him for a while. I was good to hear from
him.
Sounds like he is doing ok, but he roommate isn't as good as he could
be. Guess he will get him straightened out sooner or later (hope sooner)
as always, please keep him in your prayers
I am setting up a G5 for the SIFE department and while I am waiting
for them to get me the software, I have gotten to play with it.
This is the "slow" dual 2.0Ghz model and it completely blows the
doors off of nearly anything that I have used. (The dual 2.5Ghz's are
a little quicker)
Here's the Specs:
Dual 2.0 Ghz G5 PPc Processors
1.0GB Ram
250gb SATA HD
16x Dual Layer dvd burner
if you want to know the rest of the picky specs then you can go see

Does anyone have an extra $3000 so I can get one?
I got a little more information last night. Jerrie Mae was driving
with her grandmother when the accident happened. Their car was struck
on the passenger side where grandma was sitting.
Jerrie is ok and was released from the hospital yesterday evening.
Grandma on the other hand didn't fair so well. She has a small bleed
in the brain but that seems to be healing ok. She has several broken
ribs, her left arm is broken and she has something else wrong with
her lungs that I can't remember.
Please keep them and their family in your prayers
A friend of mine was in a car accident today and is in the Hospital.
Her grandma is also in the hospital, though I am not sure if the
reasons are the same.
Please keep them in your prayers
