Without the mullet of course, and the sweet 'stache was real.

This is the first time she sat on the bike after passing her written exam.

THen it turned into my every day look for about a year or so.

That was my Halloween costume like 3 years in a row.

I saw the old pic of the week and lauged out loud becasue I had taken this picture in the parking lot right before I came in and got on the computer.

I wish my real camera wasn' t busted.

So it has been a wild weekend aside from the job thing. On Friday night the Bazooka and I parted ways. I went ahead and got a new bike on Saturday. It is a Suzuki GZ250. Yep, one whole piston of pure powerful motorcycle fury. This little guy can go from 0-60 fast enough, and is only about 400 lbs. It took $7.17 to fill the tank, and so far I have managed to crank out about 85 miles without switching to the reserve. “Why?” You ask. “Well…because it is a cruiser and not a sport bike and I love it and I can afford it.” I would then continue on like so: My beautiful wife has bugged me since the first time we went on a scooter ride about getting her own M1 endorsement. I decided that the ol’ Bazooka was not suitable for her to learn how to ride on for many reasons, like the fact that she could not touch the ground on both sides of the bike at the same time while sitting in the seat. I guess I just did not realize how bad she wanted to be certified motorcycle operator. Today (day three of having the bike) she came home and showed me her learners permit. Wow. Now I know what dad felt like when I came home with my permit. So, yep that’s the story. Maybe next time we have a Moon Lake trip, my wife and I will ride up on a couple of iron horses.

think I think one day I will write a book about how to not be a boss.

Today has been a great day. I found out when I am going to move to my new store, September 22nd. I visited my school to post GXX meeting flyers for the upcoming meeting on September 5th. I was reminded of how wonderful it is to have an institute building that shares its parking lot with a church, and how wonderful it is to be on a motorcycle. I got out of work on time tonight after being really afraid that I wouldn’t. I kept my commitment to myself to keep writing. It was a good day.

This is how I look when I am serious as an alien invasion.

School starts on Monday. I am pretty excited. This semester I am taking 12 credits. The classes are Analytic Trigonometry (for the 3rd and final time), Basic Fingerprinting Analysis, Laws of Criminal Investigations, and Child Development. Woo Woo! I also qualified for the board of governor’s fee waiver this year. Yess! That means that It will only cost me about $16 for tuition for this semester. Awesome.
In other news, my boss’s boss came into my work yesterday and asked me if I would like a position as assistant manager at another store. I was so excited I almost cried. So I will be moving to a store that is closer to the college. It is called 67th & El Cajon, the commute will be a little longer than the 25 second commute I enjoy right now, but I think this move will be worth it. That is it for now, however more big things are in the works, I just have to run.

My Micro casette recorder doesn't work yet.

I thought this little how-to-do was appropriate for today in light of what is going on at my work, in my country, and on my planet. I feel like i have the inside look now.
