Morning All,

Nice ride to work today. Good way to start the day.

Space - awesome video of the guy flying out of his own car during the spinout. Can't believe he didn't get run over. And nice 'Angel in the sky' vid. I've seen aircraft launch flares like that but never saw that smoke pattern made. Cool!

Miller - Happy 'Monday' on Wednesday. Hope the new job is going wel

77GP - Good luck with that tree. Keep all your fingers / toes out of the way chainsaws / chippers.

Have a great day everyone. Off to make some coffee...

Taz - I haven't lived in the Great White North for a while. But I remember how dirty everything is in Spring as snow & ice melts along streets. Almost impossible to keep the car clean without constant washings. I guess that's the price you pay in order to bring in the nice weather. Glad to hear it's warming up.

Morning all. I just finished up some homework. It has been snowing off and on this morning so that is always fun. I need to get some more stuff for the house as I am going to try and get the majority of the work done this weekend so that I can move in next week.

Jerry, it takes a minimum of 30 days to break a habit. Keep up the good work. On the scary side it only takes 3 days to form a habit.

Amy, I love my droid x and it looks like you love yours as well.

I'm lovin it, Dustin! Too bad I don't have a window at the office...

After being a cager (driving a car) for the past couple months, I feel like a little kid again now that I'm riding every day. Amazing how such a simple thing improves my disposition. Plus getting 50 MPG helps the budgetary bottom line at the end of the month.

On a sour note... As I was putting the tank bag on my bike this morning, one of the mounting straps fell apart. The bag is old and has been on it's last legs for a while. It finally died this morning. No way to really fix it; the nylon material simply rotted. I went shopping online this morning for a replacement. I found one but may hold off buying it for now. I put new saddlebags on last year and don't really use them that much. The plan was to use the saddlebags to store my son's riding gear when he rode to school with me. But he has a friend who's been giving him a ride all year. So the bags are mostly empty. I think I'll try commuting without the tank bag for a while and see how it works out.
