The weather this weekend was far better than the begining of the week, I didn't MELT! CRIMANY! I took the motorcycle out for a ride one day and brought it back after only four miles, it felt like I was in a sand blast oven! GAK! LOL!
So, my birthday was Friday, I turned 43 (Can you believe that?) YEESH! It was a nice one though, plenty of home made food to be had! AND I was able to catch a nice cool breeze on the motorcycle! SO nice!
I had a couple of interesting things happen this weekend, the first was my Acer One netbook (Named Jr.) stopped working, no post and no video...I thought for sure the mother board had gone out! I made a call to acer and they told me I needed to flash the BIOS (The new BIOS file was posted four days before my Jr. went brain dead) I did what they told me and what do you know! Jr. has been reincarnated! WOO-HOO!! LOL! there's no money to replace bigger items like the netbook right now, so thank God that file fixed the problem! I still may end up doing a system restore, it isn't quite running right, I don't really want to do that though, beyond all the updates there are all those other programs that I have installed since I purchased it, hours and hours of work there!
Then there was the trip home Saturday, I nearly hit a hawk, this thing was STINKING HUGE! the wingspan was around 6 1/2 feet! and YES! I DID duck! LOL! it came within a foot of the front of my motorcycle, it was like someone had thrown a blanked at me it was so big. Had I hit that hawk? well, it would have probably knocked me off the motorcycle, God is always watching over us, no doubt about that!
Its been a while now since I've taken any pictures, I want to get some of the lake at the moment, even had my camera with me (Too bad the batteries were DEAD! DOH!) the lake is higher than it has been in YEARS! in one spot the lake is only 8 inches from the road, its nice to see the lake up once again.
There hasn't been any new visitors in the back yard lately, too bad, I enjoy watching the animals in the yard! I did however have some entertainment this weekend, I watched a black cat get chased around my yard by eight or ten birds! HA! TOO funny! I had NO idea that robbins could make SO much noise! LOL! That poor old cat couldn't catch a break with the birds! they wouldn't even let it come accross the yard to get where it wanted to! the cat finaly gave up and went the way it had came.....poor thing! HA HA!
Well, I guess I should head off for now, I have to print off ten marketing questionaires for class today, at least I wont be presenting! The last class I took I ended up presenting all but one time, it seems everone is affraid to do it? HUH! want to get into business and affraid to present in front of people? not a good thing! When I was a supervisor I was part of a weekly presentation, I had to let managment know what was going on with quality and why we were having problems, its nice to catch a bit of a break!
Later all!

Last final!
Yesterday was certainly hot! CRIMANY! LOL! Even taking a ride on the motorcycle didn't seem to bring the refreshment I was seeking! I seems that this hot spell will be here for a little while, the house was awful hot by the end of the day, and of course it was only then that I realised I had not yet turned on the attic exhaust fan, DOH! DOH! DOH! It should be a better day today.
SO! like the blog title says, I took my last final yesterday, and I received an A! HA! what do you know! I "think" I will receive and A in the class for the final grade, I won't know for a while yet.
My cousin was in a motorcycle accident over the weekend, that scared me a bit, he has a HUGE Harley and my first thought was that he crashed that, as it turns out he crashed a dirt bike, which messed him up quite a bit. Even the smaller bikes can be a danger! he'll be off work possibly for 10 weeks or more. God was watching over him for sure!
A NEW critter in the yard! Saturday night I was setting outside the back door and this little baby raccoon cam running through the yard, a skinny little thing, it ran like its tail was on fire when it caught a glimpse of me! LOL! TOO funny!
The groundhog in my yard has found a mate, I watched the two of them playing in the lower back yard the other day, they were playing like kids, very fun to watch!
I have enjoyed living here, over the years I have seen so many different kinds of animals, everything you can think 0f! When I bought the house I knew the woods started in my yard, but I sure never thought I'd see so many critters running through the yard!
I have some new neighbors! they have four kids between them, all younger, it will be nice to hear the sound of children playing in the neighborhood once again. Ten years ago there were at least a dozen kids in the neighborhood, I'd wake up on Saturday morning in the winter and look out my kitchen window and they would all be in my back yard sledding down the hill there! that was so nice, I never kicked them out because all they wanted to do was to have some kid fun, I wouldn't deny them that!
Tonight I start one of two new classes, Introduction to business, then Wednesday marketing problems, not even a day in between class sessions! no rest for the weary! LOL I'd better get used to it though, there won't be any rest until July 2010!
The new/used motorcycle has provided me with a new means of relaxing, I had NO idea it would be so stinking fun! OH MAN! I hear a motorcycle rumble by and it takes all I can muster not to hop on mine and run off for a few hours! SO nice! I can kill three hours without blinking an eye! no kidding!
I'll try and post maps of the rides my brother and I take, no really long trips (under 100 miles) but still fun, and I gotta tell you! I would MUCH rather cruise the back roads at 45 than ride the highway at 60! You would not believe all the wonderful things you can see if you just slow down and take a look!
I need to find out yet if it is legal to listen to an Mp3 player while riding? add some bluegrass to a nice ride and it would be a perfect day! LOL!
Time to head off for now! Too many things to get done! LOL!
Later all!

Riding my brains out!
This weekend was AWESOME! I rode the motorcycle 210 miles and would have ridden more had I not ran out of time! I still need to get the carburetor cleaned up and the choke cable fixed, that thing I cold blooded without the choke! YEESH! LOVE the bike though!!
I am already looking forward to the weekend, not only because because one of my finals and a presentation will be done, but I will also be able to ride the bike once again.
I know why it is so relaxing to ride! all I have to do is open my mouth and ANYTHING in my head gets blown out my ears! HA! It feels good to ride!
Time to head off for now, class is about to start!
Later!

Riding around
Charles and I rode around on the motorcycles today, 51 miles of FUN! I would have LOVED to rode more, but the rain changed that for us.
I am looking forward to riding this weekend, my brother Charles and I are thinking or a short road trip tomorrow afternoon, we have a tenative destination, just not sure if it will happen or not.
$5.31 that is what it cost to fill the tank on the bike, not bad at all! and that was with preamium fuel.
I found that I can use an open face helmet as long as I wear a shield that covers my eye's, without it the wid sucks the tears right out of my eye's! LOL!
Time for me to head off, I am kinda tired tonight, stupid allergies!
Later all!

Orioles and butterfly eggs?
A couple of weekends ago I noticed some really brightly colored birds flying around at the lake, I'd not seen them there before, I took a couple of good pictures and found out they are Baltimore Orioles, beautiful birds!
My nieghbors daughter called me over to show mw some TINY eggs she said a butterfly had layed, I've never seen butterfly eggs before so I have NO idea if they are indeed eggs or not, but here's the picture I took of them!
Then there is this wicked looking bug one of the kids brought over while I was at the lake, how cool is this one?
There is always SOMETHING crawling around at the lake, and always someone willing to bring it over to me so I can take a nice picture of it, too much fun there!
Time to head off!
Later all!

New opportunites!
The chi=urch started a blog this week to post Pastor Tharps Sunday messages, I was surprised how good it sounds! I've already listened to both of the posted messages, but I do lean t'words Pastor Tharp anyhow, he is my Pastor after all!
Both of the messages posted were after Pastors surgery and it is evident that he was feeling better on this Sunday! WHOO-WEEE! Pastor rattled the rafters and made the podium beg for mercy! TOO COOL! I LOVE it!
The best part of the messages being posted 0n line? At the moment I am at College listening to his message while waiting for class to start. I'm hoping that there will be PLENTY more posted SOON! I am looking forward to listening to Pastor Tharps messages on demand! how cool is it that this is available? and it is FREE!!
Not too much going on today, no test or exams!! just a listening day for me! I still have the Power Point on Dave Thomas due in a week, I have the power point done, I just need to work on the paper now! LOL! I am dislexic after all!
I should head off for now, I need to meet with three other students before class.
Later all!!
