TIme to Write Another Post
It's been quite a while and I've been really busy. Lately life has been good and I've been enjoying some rather nice rides on my motorcycle. Nice because it is a BMW R1200GS and it is now approaching 30,000 miles. More miles on it than I've ever ridden on a previous bike. It is truly awesome to ride since it handles amazingly well and since I ride it rather gently I typically get 50 miles to the gallon gas mileage. That's way above average for a 1200cc bike. I love riding it and things have gotten quite a bit better for me since I've lost 140 pounds. I have a joking name I use for certain things. It is 5 Hour Butt because when I was so fat I could only ride a few hours before my butt would start hurting like hell. Now there is not a bit of discomfort. I've been joking around about changing the funny name to 100 Hour Butt. Eventually you'll see the difference because I'll get my picture taken with the bike to replace the profile one I have currently. More to come.

Commuting To Work
Just sitting thinking about how much I like and enjoy working with the folks at my current engagement as an IT Consultant. Great bunch of people and very satisfying to work with. It makes this really fun for me.
For most folks you have to commute back and forth to the office. Interestingly I have to commute back and forth from Chicago to Hartford Connecticut every week. That's not a problem for me since I've flown hundreds of times in my life. I've even piloted airplanes. Not airliners but small Pipers back in my teen years. A buddy of mine was a pilot and he let me fly quite a bit. So, I do enjoy flying on planes.
Also, Hartford is a pretty darn nice city. Generally, the weather has been rather pleasant. Nice since I can take a walk after work each day. That is a big help since I've been losing weight for a few years. Down 120 pounds and only 20 to go. Walking helps hit the goals and makes me feel so much better. Yes, I also watch what I eat and stay away from all the junk food that got me into Enormo mode. The joke is I'm just too damn lazy to be that fat. All is better and more to come.
