Harolds, for everyone. Don't mind the slow business or fact that the customers are staff members clocked out and walk around the bar. This place is so cool, you wouldn't want to leave if it was work. Is your work that cool? I took vid of some of the bar, some of the people and some of the wall of wonder. This place was started by Jim Beam before the whiskey business and is one of my favorite places to hang. Its where I took Megan on our first date and it's my Wednesday tradition.

I went out to LA and had a blast with my sister and sister and niece. Estrogen all around.

I have been very busy this last month. I have found the love of my life, Megan and her lovely daughter Evelynn. Picked up a new bike, the 07 yzf-R1, Sweet. Dirty picked up a sweet 69 ford Bronco, it's been a blast. Went to nickelback and lots of other fun stuff. Mostly I have been working. Just opened up a new store, drive through and walk up only, we call it Starbox. Hours at the hospital have picked up considerably. I could talk volumes about Megan and I, but I think everyone will get a chance to meet her, suffice to say, I'm in awe and feel incredibly lucky. Everything else pales. My need for sleep persists past this message, so I must comply. I am saving for a slower motorcycle as we speak. I will not survive long on this as a daily driver. I love you all. It's been a great ride. (seriously I am driving this thing as cautiously as possible, don't worry too much)

Thought I would post some week old archive photos of the beard. Since my CNA job has picked me up full time, I have decided to start shaving again. Also a shot of the bottom of the small hill called Trune Mountain. The shorts were a very bad idea, but it was hot. I have scars I will carry for life, cherish. I also destroyed those shorts. Also in the area of the Fox and the Hound was A Harley shop, I decided to walk in and check out some of the new bikes, that are not at every location and was treated to a RSD R1 in the 05 anniversary edition, only redone even cooler. kind of a burnt metallic yellow that actually popped. The signs are all around me now. I am going to Harolds now, opening sbux tomorrow and working 9p-3a at the hospital, then back to open sbux again at 4a, so its going to be a long day. Eventually the paychecks will start rolling in, until then... oh, had Pita Jungle today after my sbux breakfast. Its going to be tricky getting out of round with this agenda.

I have been really busy for work, but make sure I still have some time to live life. On Sat I worked a 12 and pumped all my change in the tank of big blue for a quick run over to Desert Sky. I missed all of Cheap Trick, but caught most of Poison and Def Lepord. The show was awesome and the amps were turned up so high it sucked the wind out of the tenth row I was standing. Similar to a higher elevation top fuel bike pass, simply amazing. The next morning I was over in Glendale at the Fox and the Hound, AZTrackday.com took over the whole place and put the MotoGP's on every screen with sound. Met up with Aaron who took this pic of me next to a familar, but different bike. This is the TZR250, nice two stroke race bike. Today I had an epic moment when on a lunch I spilled my Iced quad venti vanilla latte...into the main computer at a very busy sbux, at the worst time on the worst day. I celebrated the moment, but running out of gas in the driveway with tips delayed.(employee hours worked, scheduling and payroll was today) I decided to remember why we do these things we do. I grabbed 40 oz of cold water, my phone, camera and in shorts, started climbing the stack of boulders in the back yard called Trune Mtn. That was an awesomely bad idea. I reconnected...with a very thorny thing I learned a lesson from 8 yrs ago. After pulling the thorns out I kept going up to the top. At about 20 ft from the top, I climbed around and started my decent. Accupuncture works, because my knees and ankles stopped hurting as soon as I was covered with sharp, long needles buried in my skin with some sort of barb end, making removal very painful. All in all a very good day.

I have no new pics to post. Although I will say that my bank account is finally in the black. Not by much but acceptable. I am enjoying life in ways I could not describe to most family members. i will say to brother fred, you cost me a roll in the hay that I very much earned. I will never be caught without a phone charger again.

You live, love, learn and some time lose. Out of all my friends each one is different from the next and I enjoy time with all of them. Going through life alone isn't something I think achieved easily and wouldn't want to try. Challenges are worthy and failure is more bearable with company. Loving life means living it and someone who taught me that has paid a price for it. My hopes and prayers are with him and his, while I try to make my self available for something more important than a paycheck or payment. on the mend in more ways than one. My thoughts are on the things he has said and the meaning he is to mankind. If their was someone to sit and listen, his time was generously given. I treasure the time and wish I would have listened more closely as I have plenty to learn still.
