I'll be in Renton for work May 2nd through 5th. I gotta work on Friday and part of Saturday morning, then on Monday. If the weather looks like it'll be decent, I'll ride.

Yep, I'm going to head home Monday. The time I head out is very unpredictable. All depends on how things go over the weekend (Installing new voip phone system) and how many people I have to help understand how to make a phone call.

Howdy all. I gotta be at the License Dept. in North Bend for my "skills" test Saturday, a.m.(let endorsement lapse when I quit riding to raise kid..years ago, blah blah) Then, I'm up for doin' a ride..of course, it's also weather-dependant.

Cool! I sm definitely hoping the weather will be good that weekend. I dont feel like being stuck in the rain for four days on the bike 175 miles away from home.
I am not sure how much time I'll have on Saturday, but it looks like I should be free all day on Sunday.

The weather is saying 20% rain and 59 degrees for Sunday.. If this stays true.. I'll figure out a way to ditch Sunday wedding duties so Z and I can make it home to ride if we can meet up late morning..

Cool! Even if I dont end up riding this weekend, I'll take my helmet with me. I dont have any idea what kind of time I'll be putting into work on Saturday.

Come to think of it, a guy hobbling around in a leg cast and a "new" shoulder with tales of motorcycles, leather jackets and wandering all day unaware of the severity of his injuries could probably score some serious sympathy points from a bunch of pretty women dressed up at a wedding reception.  Hmmmm maybe I should go...Yo Karen!!! Where & what time ???   If you guys go out Sunday, have a great time & ride safe!! Steve

Change of plans. There was a big mis-communication with the data line company. We arent switching over the neywork until Monday night. I didnt find out until about an hour ago. I am going to stay here in Renton tonight then go up to I-90 tomorrow then go home and not come back up here until late Monday.

Hey all!
Sorry I wasn't able to make it. Work is just taking up too much of my time right now. This is Microsoft's 4th quarter right now so it's just crazy for us all that work in sales. Hit our numbers or perish, the typical sales philosophy. Hopefully I'll get some time clearing up in the next 3 weeks. Z, will need help with the AI and rejet in the next week or two if you are available.

I dont have a ton of room but your all welcome to come over...tinker and enjoy. BTW...I technically didnt get to ride today but I went out tonight.
