I know its been a long time since my last post, so I’ll try to give you a quick recap of whats happened since then.<\/p>\n
Currently I am waiting for the third overtime in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals between Detroit and Pittsburgh.\u00a0 If Detroit scores the next goal they win the cup, if Pittsburgh scores they force a game 6 back in Pittsburgh.\u00a0 Its been an exciting game.\u00a0 They are tied at 3 a piece.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago Jesse and I took a weekend motorcycle class in Eveleth.\u00a0 It started Friday night from 5 PM to 9 PM, and let me tell you, they used every minute of it.\u00a0 The 4 hours was basically going through a book they had sent in the mail with instructions to read it before the class.\u00a0 The evening came to an end with a multiple choice test.\u00a0 Jesse’s quick studying in the parking lot allowed him to pull off a 100%.\u00a0 My diligent three days of reading through the book and answering the questions through out the book enabled me to only miss one on the test.\u00a0 So with the first step done we were back bright an early at 8 AM for the first 5 hours of actual riding time.\u00a0 The class assumes you know nothing about riding a motorcycle, so it was perfect for me.\u00a0 They walk you through everything from how to use the clutch to shifting, swerving, and turning.\u00a0 We had great weather for the occasion with cool over cast skies.\u00a0 I am so glad it wasn’t 90 degrees out.<\/p>\n
The next day we were back again for the last day at 8 AM.\u00a0 We had another 5 hours on the bikes picking up the speed and difficulty a bit working more on quick stops, running over obstacles, swerving, and slow tight turns.\u00a0 The day ended with the actual driving test.\u00a0 I made a couple of mistakes, but passed anyway.\u00a0 The cool thing about the class is the test you take is good enough to get your Minnesota motorcycle license.<\/p>\n
A quick break in the story..\u00a0 Pittsburgh just won in the third overtime.. Game 6 in Pittsburgh on Wednesday…<\/p>\n
So when I got back to Baxter I went into the DMV and not only added the motorcycle license, but also got my address changed to Erin’s Grandparents place in cook since we are moving there in a couple days.<\/p>\n
Also since my last post I have finished my BSSD contract which feels really good.\u00a0 Getting all 15 videos done was quite a job.\u00a0 Its nice to have that all wrapped up before the summer really starts.<\/p>\n
Two weekends ago I flew out to Tacoma to attend Katie’s college graduation.\u00a0 It was fun to hang out with family and spend a quick couple days with her.<\/p>\n
When I got back to Baxter I had a couple days off and then drove down to the cities to pick up Rick Holt who was coming over for a couple of days to work with me on finishing up my RISC contract.\u00a0 Along with the barrage of video editing we found time to play a little Wii golf.\u00a0 Rick is a feisty competitor.<\/p>\n
Friday I drove him back down to the cities to fly out, then back up to Baxter to pick up Erin and we continued on our way up to Cook for the weekend.\u00a0 We got in super late and worked all day Saturday on her grandparents house.\u00a0 The new carpet was installed and looked and felt really nice.\u00a0 We went out to dinner Saturday night with April, Jesse, and Trisha and then worked again all day Sunday on the house before heading back to Baxter.\u00a0 We pretty much have all the plumbing done, and are getting closer and closer to having the place all fixed up.\u00a0 Its really starting to look nice.<\/p>\n
Erin is finishing up her last bit of work this week.\u00a0 She worked Monday and still has Tuesday and half of Wednesday.\u00a0 The nice part for her is there are no kid on any of these days.\u00a0 She gets to work on packing up her classroom since they are cutting her position.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow morning I will be picking up the Uhaul to load up everything in our apartment.\u00a0 It’ll be a big job, but we should be able to get it everything packed up tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Then Wednesday morning I will head off to cook, and Erin will follow when she is done with work.<\/p>\n
I hope it all goes well…<\/p>\n
Also in the last few weeks Jim and I have been working on getting his Motorcycle up and running.\u00a0 I’m happy to say after a few parts from DennisKirk and some new gas and oil the bike is running like a charm.\u00a0 Erin and I have been out for a couple short rides.\u00a0 Once the house gets all settled I’m sure we’ll be out for some longer excursions.<\/p>\n
Well that’s all for now.\u00a0 Sorry there aren’t any pictures or video, I know they make posts a ton better.\u00a0 I’ll try to do a better job of that on the next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
