Get your motor running…

Posted by mark on 27th May 2008

With gas prices on the rise and the daily commute/errands still a nessecity I started to consider two wheeled modes of transportation. Cleveland is not a bicycle friendly town, so I thought about getting a scooter. After some friends slapped me around for considering relinquishing my man card they pointed out that you need the same drivers license to ride a scooter as you do a motorcycle, the costs are relativly the same, and so are the miles per gallon.

So I spent the majority of the weekend on a motorcycle, as I was attending the Motorcycle Saftey Foundation’s Beginners Riding Course… basiclly learning to ride a motorcycle, which I will hopefully be purchasing in the next couple of weeks.

I am happy to report that I passed with flying colors, 100% on the written test and only one deduction on the skills evaluation (and that was for going too slow)!! Yeah me!

As soon as I get a bike I’m sure I’ll be posting pictures… I’ve already cleared out a spot in the garage for it!

I feel really good about this, I’ll be using less gas and I get to reduce my carbon footprint….

hmmmmmmm….. (that was for you, Mom)

Rained out!

Posted by mark on 11th May 2008

We got rained out of our Indians game, so we are going to have to find another game and trade in out tickets… so no loss.

In the mean time, I put some pictures up from this weekend’s adventure as we went to our first play, Cinderella!

Jenna and her friend from school, Katie just before they went up on stage for their princess parade. Here is the video of the princess parade… too cute.
