Update!!

So I will start with an update on my bike. Its been about 9 months from my initial down payment and the summer in Seattle is wearing down to a blistering 68 degrees today. I heard from Doug at Curtlo and he said all the parts should be in this week and he thought it would be done next week. As exciting as it sounds I am anticipating another three weeks. As for the update in life, all is going well. Molleigh starts her Masters in Teaching program in September and should be able to rejoin the working force next September if she can find a job. My new job is going well, but as always in this economy nerves are unsettling within the ranks and a layoff is always possible. They gave me a new truck to drive and I must say its pretty nice, a Ford F150 4x4 STX. Its pretty decked out with the new Windows Sync. As for an update on health. My routine is non exsistant and I am working on getting a set of power block dumbells and a multi position bench to start doing my own thing at home. I debated doing the p90x program and still might this summer but I want to get my strength up first. We have stayed pretty busy this summer doing all kinds of summer things around Seattle. We have gone to a Celtic fair, Good Guys NW national car show, watched the salmon run up the Ballard Lock's, found the Freemont Bridge Troll, Floated the Skykomish River and went camping when we get the chance. Summer isn't over yet and we hope to do some more fun stuff before the grey hits. Well I hope my next Blog is of my new Curtlo Bike.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!

Another one's down. My second layoff in less then 10 months. That's right the second time in less then a year and third time in 3 years. I know that some strive for perfection but this is one statistic I did not plan on when graduating from college. The good news is I found another job that will start the day my current job ends. I am not too sure about its stability in today's economy but the pay is better and I get a F150 that includes gas card and personal use so I am hoping for the best. As soon as I get and sign my offer letter I will be working for TTI. Better known to most as the company that owns Ryobi and Milwaukee Tools. It also makes Rigid, Craftsman, Homelite and a number of other electronics. I am hoping it is a great place to start a career since I will placed in there LDP (Leadership Development Program) which is supposed to be a fast track to management if you perform well. On the Bike front I have not heard much except some guys in the same build batch as me have heard from Doug that they're frames are in. Too bad I have not heard a thing about my frame or component choices. I still believe (or hope) I will get a mountain bike that fits some day. I also want to throw a shout out to my buddy Eric who is a new father to a baby girl today!
