31 May 2007 [Thursday] Rode into work again today. On the way to work, noticed at a stoplight that I had my Guzzi crashbar still 'resting' on the front of the bike! YIKES! Pulled over at the next side street. On Wednesday I was showing Keegan were it went as I had to put it back on, and I left it there and forgot about it. The only thing holding it on, was the 2 brackets to the horn!!! So I strapped it to the back of the seat. I was going to go out and lunch and try to put it on in the parking garage, but I am not feeling well in 'certain areas' so skipped that. I'll have to strap it back on the seat on the ride home, or perhaps zip tie it to the frame and put it on this weekend. I need to spend some time this weekend doing three things (1) Put the crashbar back on, (2) Changing the gearbox oil in the Guzzi and (3) Putting the Ural back together (from the broken interupter from the Ride For Kids!) We'll see how much I actually get done with how hot...

-- 21 May 2007 [Monday] Rode the motorcycle into work today. Busy finishing up AutoRecruiter WP! Yeah! Now I just hope it works without issues. Nothing else major. Can't wait to transition back to CR team. Hope it goes quick. -- 20 May 2007 [Sunday] A very nice day. 82F and sunny today. We got a slow start, but then Amanda wanted to attempt to rent a row boat again at Bond Park. This time it went great!!!!!! I was so excited that Keegan and Carson didn't fuss about putting their life preserver on. They got right in the boat and Ian cried while we strapped it on, but I picked him up and he was fine with it. This was my first time ever in a row boat. I rowed us out with Amanda's guidance on how to turn, row, etc. :) It was fun once I got the hang of it. Windy day so I rowed out and she rowed back in with the wind. Great fun and the kids can't wait to do it again. We rented it for one hour - only $3. Next time we'll do two hours and bring our fish...
