Still here!
Haven't posted anything in a while now, so I thought I'd just stop in to give a sign of life! Things have been crazy lately both at work and on the home front. We're moving into the new (to us) house at the end of the month, so we've been running around trying to make sure that everything's ready... although I'm sure we will have forgotten a few things when the day finally comes.
We'd actually considered building a new house, but in truth that was just a compromise solution. What we were both really looking for was an older house in one of the downtown neighbourhoods - but it seemed that every old house we visited was more of an overpriced moneypit then anything else. So we had all but decided to move to the burbs in a new "cookie-cutter" house... but as luck would have it, the house came on the market just a few days before we were going to sign the building contract. Ain't it funny how life turns out that way sometimes.
Of course, I've also been spending a fair amount of time on two wheels. The weather for the past few weeks has been so damn good - it would almost be a sin not to be out riding! Yesterday I did some recon around our new neighbourhood; checking out all the sidestreets, the local parks, and what the neighbours look like ;-) I was pleased to see a few motorcycles parked in the neighbouring driveways... that must mean it's a good place to live!
I've been so busy that I've actually fallen behind on Silver's maintenance regiment. I'm about 800kms overdue for an oilchange, not to mention that I should be trying to find a bit of time to sync the throttle bodies (but that can wait). I did manage to wash it over the weekend, but just a 30-minute quick job - which was sufficient to get the bugs off the windshield and fairing, and the oil fling off the rear rim and swingarm.
Today we're at t-minus 18 days until the big move, and I just can't wait.

Yeah, hasn't the weather been fantastic? My 12 hour days are getting in the way, but riding to work when it's already 18C out is amazing! Hope the move happens without a hitch.
