Voyages on Two Wheels – 19 October 2011

Looking back at these two pictures, it’s funny to see just how much earlier the daylight dies these days.  These pictures were taken at about 1735 hours.  If you went up to Red Rock Canyon this time of year at the same time, it would be night.  I know because I managed to get out [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 23 August 2011 – Reflections on Riding

I can’t really believe it’s been such a short time since I first got on my V-Star   Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday that I first saw my bike, but it was actually 11 May 2011   Other times I can’t remember a time before I had such a feeling of freedom as [...]

Blog Posts, Email Responses, and the Lack Thereof

Folks, I know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  I’ve been mentally beat the past little while.  To say work’s been mentally draining would be a colossal understatement.  We’ve had some major problems on the network and the customers have expressed their displeasure.  The past three weeks we’ve worked between eight and [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 7 August 2011 – Recovery Continued

It can take me an entire weekend or more to recover when a week at work goes completely bat guano crazy.  This was one of those weekends.  I wasn’t sleeping well and as a result didn’t really get much riding in.  At least I managed to go out and have a decent dinner both nights [...]

Hooray For Overtime! HOORAY FOR TIME OFF!!!

Folks, it’s been a bit of a rough patch lately with all the overtime at work, but it looks like I’ve finally made it out of the woods   Yeah, I might be jinxing myself and it could start raining in California again, but I can’t control the weather right   OK, so I volunteered [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 4 January 2011 – Fuji Finepix XP10 Night Testing

Well, another 10 hour day is in the books and I have another one to deal with tomorrow.  The 10 hour days aren’t as bad as the 12 hour days, but they’re still no walk in the park.  I know people work as many if not more hours in other jobs – I did that [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 28 December 2010 – New Camera!

Hey there!  You might have thought I’d dropped off the face of the earth, but I’ve just been busy   Overtime followed by more overtime on top of still more overtime has been the norm at work lately.  Rains in California turned out to be record setting and had an unexpectedly severe effect on telecommunications.
