Tired

I've been working on fixing parts of the house for a while now. I just finished installing sheetrock in the basement, and it still awaits taping, then sanding, then filling, then texturing, then painting. It's like the work never ends, but I am anticipating the outcome. It will be nice to have a cozy room to call our own.

It's hard to find time to get all these things done, between, screaming babies, wives, traffic, and the world-at-large. I need to persevere.

Fuel prices

So normally I ride a motorcycle to work. Yes, the usual risks, disclaimers and cautions apply. I got left turned into on may 23rd by a guy with a truck and trailer, and fortunately I wasn't hurt. The bike isn't really ridable though. There was a witness and the dude in the truck and I both got her contact info.

It seems that his insurance (State Farm) tried calling her once, but she never heard from her. So now I don't have a bike, I'm driving my truck (expensive!) to work, and it's all in limbo based on someone's 3rd party account of this whole shebang.

I wish it would hurry up and get figured out - I don't like driving to work, I want to ride to work.
