I know it's not that much to get excited about but I have the first step done in getting a motorcycle license. My motorcycle permit was supposed to come in the mail about three weeks ago. Today, I had to go back to the DMV and explain that it hasn't showed up. The first guy I talked to was sort of a jerk about it. The next guy looked into it and agreed with me. He was able to get it done and I was out the door with the actual hard-copy of the permit. Why couldn't they just do that a month ago when I was there? I figured they would just use the picture that's on file so I didn't go in expecting to take a picture with hat head and looking so scumbaggish. Ha! Do I really look like that. Yikes!
This might be me. We'll see. Yamaha WR250r.
I decided to purchase some new roller skis and they arrived on Monday. After a mountain bike ride I took them out for an hour. These Pursuit roller skis from rollerskishop.com are superb. I haven't roller skied in about 5 years because my old skis I realize now were not as fun from being old and worn. The Pursuits seemed smooth and stable. With 105mm rubber wheels (instead of harder poly wheels) I was surprised how they handled cracks and irregularities in the road. On my old skis you had to watch those things or you'd crash. My worst crash was never on a bike. It was on roller skis. Hopefully there is still some time to get in some roller ski training before the snow comes. Even if I don't get in shape at least its another activity besides going for a run.
An athlete on the Timex Team burned some CD's for me which arrived in the mail today. Music is the best gift. Thanks Barry!!!!!
Took the time to learn some "jazzy" sounding chord voicings and progressions. It's been refreshing to learn some new things and applying them towards new things to practice.

cool skis...I think I would leave too much skin on the road. They look like fun though.
