Morning All,

Happy Friday! It's been a long week.

Even this morning started with a brain fart for me. I got to work and heard a funny burbling noise as I was shutting down the engine on my bike. Looked back and saw my bike cover/case hanging down in front of the exhaust. Doh!! I unhooked one side yesterday in order to remove the seat; the cover in it's case is hooked up at the back of the seat. Forgot to hook it back up when I was done. It was flopping around just behind the exhaust during the commute this morning and fried a big hole through the case and multiple layers of the cover. At least it didn't catch on fire. How embarrassing would that have been?? The day can only get better, right?

I'm taking the afternoon off to get ready for vacation. My wife, son, and I head to Orlando early Saturday morning. We're taking the Monte; need to do my usual pre-trip checks on the car. We gave our son the choice of picking a spring break activity / trip. He chose Disney / Universal Studios. We have 4-day park hopper passes for Disney and 1-day tickets for Universal to see the Harry Potter stuff. Heard it was pretty good; time to see for ourselves.

Hope everyone has a great Friday.

We always have fun no matter where we go. Gotta know how to relax. All work and no play makes Dave a dull boy...
