I haven't blogged in a long time but...

life is still interesting being a SFRoofer.

Yesterday I fixed a toilet with a paperclip. Thankfully, I have no intention of leaving it that way but I was quite happy for an immediate solution without any "women's bathroom down time". I don't want to use the men's room here, I already have enough testosterone and my WSJ is located in the women's bathroom. I am unwilling to share my newspaper.

Since my last blog I made up my mind, went to Harley Davidson and took riding classes. They were fantastic! What a thrill! http://www.twowheeladventures.com/ This is the instructor's website. I highly recommend going to Harley Davidson of Atlanta and signing up for the rider's edge course if you want to learn the basics, in a safe environment by professionals that are concerned with your safety. It is affordable and a heck of a great time.

I also purchased my first Harley!! :) As Mark is in Fiji, I haven't gone for a ride since my only riding right now will be around parking lots until I get more practice time in. I signed up for another skills workshop in a few weeks and I very much look forward to learning and riding during the beautiful fall season in Georgia.

Meanwhile, after three months, I received the permits that I need to finally build my backyard. The concrete for the patio has been poured and the deck is in progress and the fence work is going on right now! I find it funny that the crews are more frightened of disturbing my bike than my house. They are amazing crews and doing beautiful work.

It has been a summer of turn around. I haven't fully recovered from all the things that have happened this year but I do feel like things are in better shape now than they have been in awhile.
