bought myself a new harley-davidson. it is a VROD! the model is called a Night Rod Special. it is sooo cool. all blacked out. forward controls. drag bar. although i do need to roll the bars back just a tad. the combination of the bars and forward controls has be stretched out a bit. so, i pick up the bike last friday. i had to make a run up to my insurance dood (shout out for Jeffrey Smith, Windsor CA-what!-what!) so that i could sign insurance papers. i'm heading down Old Redwood Hwy just coming up to Shiloh on my way home, when this older guy on a chopper pulls up. his bike is well traveled, ape hangers and loud as sin. he looks my bike up and down. "Is that an 07?" he asks. "Yes it is!", I reply, "just picked it up today." he pauses a moment. gives me an approving smile, "NIIIICCCEEEE!" i have to say, that was pretty cool. this is a different social group to belong to. kind of like the convertible club, or the jeep club. all motorcyclists will wave at eachother, but if you have the harley, well then the other harley riders are not just being courteous...they mean it.
to recap Vegas:
- Bob, twist one up
- "I need a taxi to the Signature"
- Every Chicken Wrap comes with a Shirley Temple
- people don't go to Hooter's for the food!
- Prince does not perform before 12:45...that's gay
- don't let the drunk gambler be the holder of your flight info
- don't trust the guy at the Cirque show when he helps you to your seat
I'd write about the CATS conference, but Christine already did that. I can sum up the CATS conference with the following list of items:
- POWER is the coolest
- No computer is safe from hackers! not even mine!
- all IT departments need a wooden pony and a monthly kegger
- Hotel hide-a-beds are scary
- a BIG colorful fish, a soft green monkey and 115700 points are all equal
Congratulations to Heather & Frank - welcome Payton Pamela!!!
