Motorcycle Maintenance Day

That's what my Saturday was... about 5 hours of work on my bike. Nothing really major, just lots of little tune-ups, preventative maintenance, changing the gearing a little bit... I had fun doing it. The bike runs nicer now, and I feel better having done a lot of the routine maintenance stuff.


Here's a couple of pictures.

The Motorcycle

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here's my KLR. I've had it for about two months now, and have just over 3300 miles on it. I love it so far... should be a great bike if I can get stationed in Guam

Home again

I just got back from a great Thanksgiving weekend with my family. My friend Curt from school here went up with me, too. We both rode our motorcycles up, which was a nice ride up there on Thursday morning, but pretty cold and a bit wet coming back today. We had fun, though. Thanksgiving dinner was excellent. Much better than last years... galley food at boot camp.

Curt got a few good pictures on his camera of our time up there. Mostly of the fishing we did with Trevor and Travis. I'll post them as soon as he gets back to his room and I can borrow his camera.

Update:

Soon to be house hunting

It's about the time for me to start looking for a place to live during Prototype. I've been tossing around a couple of ideas. Either rent an apartment with a few guys from school, or try to find a family around here who has a spare room and wants a boarder for six months. Anybody know anybody in the North Charleston area that has space for a 21 year old Christian guy to live?

Home for the weekend

I just got back from a wonderful weekend with my family. We had a long weekend from school, so I headed up to Waxhaw Friday morning. It was a nice relaxing weekend, and it was good to see everyone. I took advantage of all Dad's tools and got some work done on my bike, too. I've got 2600 miles on it now, and it was in need of some tune-up stuff. A great weekend... now for another week and a half of school before Thanksgiving and another trip home.



Lord, thank you for my family, for the great home I was raised in. Thank you for my parents who taught me about You, who read Your word to me, and who are always an encougagement to me no matter where I am. Thank you for my brothers and sisters, Lord. I am blessed with a wonderful family, and I praise You for them. I love You, Lord.

School, school, school

An exam this morning, and one on Wednesday. And one last Thursday. Crazy, crazy stuff. I'm still enjoying it, though. This weekend is a long one though, for Veteran's Day. My plan at the moment is to grab a tent, sleeping bag, and my Bible and head off for a couple of days alone with the Lord. It's hard to focus sometimes with all the pressures of school, leadership responsibilities, and general Navy 'stuff-to-do' that always seems to crop up. I'd like to head up to Short Stay, a lake-side campground that the Navy runs about 30 miles from here. Hopefully I can fit everything on my bike.


Lord, let me be sensitive to Your voice and to Your leading. Give me Your insight when I read Your word, and speak to me through it. I praise You, Father, for the blessings in my life. You are awesome, my Lord. I love You.
