What a beautiful day for a ride, partly cloudy and about 85 degrees. We were out for lunch on hwy 10 and went for a quick hour ride. We saw quite a few bikes out on this trip. From hwy 10 go to hwy 300, this stretch is full of twisty curves with some nicely cared for roads. Hwy 300 will end on hwy 113 at Wye Mountain, to finish up on the hour take a left which will bring you back to hwy 10 and another left back to where you started. However if you were interested in a little longer ride take a right and continue on hwy 300 & hwy 113 towards Bigelow. I hope this gives you some ideas for an afternoon ride or a short after lunch break to get away from it all.

Looking like a great weekend for a road trip! Glenn has one planned for just this occasion.

Planning on spending the night at renovated 60's motel in Murfreesboro, AR. Day 2: Talimena, OK  round-trip  and return to Sherwood, AR I'm hoping to see some great pictures Glenn!

BMW Rally St. Paul

Glenn has made it onsite at the rally. Makes me wish I was there seeing all the beautiful bikes and meeting people with not only a biking enthusiasm but BMW enthusiasts.  Looks like Glenn has his site up. He has mentioned the great people he has already run into on the trip.  There are quite a few bikes! He has even had a R1200C siting. This is a beautiful 2000 model with only 8,400 miles. Looks like perfection.  BMW even had the demo tent set up for riders to take a drive on a new or different model than you normally would.  This is the beautiful grand prize! Wish I was there with you. Keep the pictures and info coming and I will keep everyone updated!

Frustration

Nothing like traveling for work and getting to do actual work. I came onsite interested to get some hands on with the servers and software they were training me for, however it is just crashing down on me. Went to a school for VMware View, this is a server that manages virtual machines in a thin client  LAN. I'm falling in on someone that has set it up, trying to read notes and get up to speed on what he has been doing and where he is at with the process, very frustrating. I for one am note used to working with a team, especially a team that isn't familiar. In a huge project I could imagine it would be broken into smaller tasks for each individual or have a collaborated task working closely together. I have had neither! I am currently trying to juggle three different server builds and designs, two if which are in the build phase. Working on one by myself I have designed it to the best of my knowledge and I can completely wrap my head around the entire network. This project howe...

Car Fiasco

It has been a little over a month and I still don't have my car. I like to think I'm an easy going person and I try to understand why something could take so long. But the last correspondence I had was Tuesday, with my Adjuster and with the dealer. The adjuster said he would let me know something the minute he knew something. Knowing where the car was I visited the dealer and asked them, told me he would call me the next day. Tomorrow will me Friday and if I have t heard something by midday I'm going to start calling people.  After the fiasco of trying to get a rental yesterday I'm just ready to be done with the whole thing. Tuesday we got a rental reservation. Showed up at the rent a car place, no cars called a couple other places no car. Told me they would call next morning with a car. I took the morning off to play games with my son and the morning turned into afternoon. Got a call and went to pick the car up, 4:45, ridiculous. I was rather happy it wasn't a car ...
