Last Friday we purchased a Honda Reflex Scooter. It is a 2002 with 400+ miles on it and in near mint condition. I have been riding it pretty much all weekend. On Thursday I went to DMV and took my written test for a motorcycle license. I passed. The permit is good for 1 year. I can't take passengers, ride at night or on the freeway. I will be taking the driver's test soon. This scooter is a 250cc and gets 80 mpg! It will be perfect for my 40 mile commute to work. Until I get my license I can take backroads to avoid the freeway. I am looking forward to this. I purchased a quality helmet from the local Yamaha dealer and need to buy gloves. On my ride home after purchasing it began to rain and got windy. I now have a deeper respect for BIG SEMI TRUCKS! I told Tina when I got home "I could see how people get addicted to riding motorcycles".
The commute just got alot more fun and cheaper too!

Tents, Fans, Flying and A Great Concert
What a wonderful weekend this past weekend was! Friday evening I purchased two dome tents from some of my clients. I was a little leary of the condition before I'd seen them but was pleasantly suprised. I scored both for $15.00. One is a six person and the second is a two person. They're in great shape and all the parts are there too!
Saturday morning our local airport hosted the Young Eagles Free Fly for kids. Tina and I took the girls. The pilot that was going to take them said they were so light that one of us was able to fly in the plane with them. Tina didn't want to go. We flew over the girl's school and the river. It was a beautiful day to be in the air. The rest of the day was spent trying to install a ceiling fan in Hope's room. The way our house is wired the light switch control the bottom plug of a wall outlet. So, the installation of a ceiling fan requires putting a box in the ceiling and wiring it to the switch. I am not an electrician so this took a good portion of the day. The overall project is to install three ceiling fans all involving the same situation. I got the first one done about 11:00 Pm.
Sunday included Morning Worship and a Men's Group trip to In-N-Out Burger, a Cinco de Mayo celebration, and the installation of the second ceiling fan. On Sunday evening we drove to Redding to see Hawk Nelson, Falling Up and Thousand Food Krutch (TFK) in concert. It was an incredible evening. I don't think there was a part of that I didn't enjoy. We got home about 11:30 Pm. Hope and Grace loved the concert and then came home to newly installed ceiling fans.
Weather today: 86 degrees, sunny, breezy and perfect weather!!!
