sometimes its a good thing when things hit close to home...

So I moved into my 'new' house a bit over a week ago. I met the neighbors directly behind me this weekend. They are closer to my parents age than mine, but she being a systems programmer hit a chord with me (fellow geek) and he a truck drive for home depot (if that doesn't hit a chord with your heart as a man, you've revoked your man card.) But alas they were busy trimming up a tree, and I busy with unpacking/repairs/blah/blah/blah. Fast forward to this evening. The past few days have been filled with rain and wind, enough wind to knock down trees/fences etc.. On top of moving and work it just hasn't been a good time to ride. Today was a bit different. I'm tired of working on the house, and was craving a bit of saddle time. Having just woken up, I was huuuungry. F'it I said! The storms were West of me and moving WNW. Lookout asphalt, here I come! About the time I was pulling my helmet on a car passed by and the driver gave me a wave. I figured it was a neighbor being friendly, and hoping it was a hot woman. Turns out, it was the neighbor behind me. Next thing I know, she's flipped a u-turn and is parked on the side of my house. Apparently they ride both street and dirt! I don't remember the specifics of their dirt machines other than 125cc and 150cc. She rides a Blast, he's on a Suzuki 650 of some sort. She asked if I rode dirt and I expressed my interest/lack of funds/lack of someone to ride with. So she said next time they go out, she'll give me a call. WOOHOO! It's been a good day, even though my hour ride wasn't nearly long enough.

Nothing like good neighbors. Even better that they ride.Posted 09-09-2010 at 08:22 AM by HondaJim

Wind and rain but no mention of sand bags sounds like you've selected a good location, location, location. Congatulations

I'm not at the top of the hill, but I'm not at the bottom either. Most of the water will run through their yard when it gets that bad. Thanks for the congrats, I'm looking forward to getting to a point where I can stop fixing/changing things and actually settle in and enjoy a beer with some friends. As it is, my place is filling quickly with half finished projects and I have no couch to chill on.Quote:Originally Posted by ideajones

Anyone have a cross-cut saw and a pneumatic nailer I can borrow for a few days?Posted 09-11-2010 at 07:33 PM by beefsalad
