Ok I’m moving the video to it’s own post. I’ve had a couple people complaining that they couldn’t see the video in the other post, and someone suggested it might be because of the photo. There’s really no telling what’s going on especially since it’s a fairly crappy cell phone video. Here it is though.

Now I need to spend some time messing with my comments again. Something was seriously screwed up when I upgraded to WP 2.6. My comments haven’t worked since. To approve comments I have to manually go into phpMyAdmin and approve from there. It’s time consuming, and it drives me crazy, but it was working. Now I’ve got a new problem. Now the comment count isn’t showing correctly on posts, so posts that do have comments still show as 0.

It looks like I’m going to have to wipe the comments completely from my database, and I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to lose the comments that I do have. My other option is to install Disqus like I have on a couple of my other blogs, so I might just be doing that. It would definitely be the easier option, and I wouldn’t have to lose my older comments. I might just have to go that route.

Boy do I regret my decisions to stay home today. I passed up a chance to go to the Suzuki Superbike Showdown at Road Atlanta to stay home with the family for a cookout and the Clemson game. Normally, I don’t let anything get in the way of me watching my Tigers, but tonight I’m seriously disgusted. I can’t believe I missed the Showdown for that game! Our boys looked like just that…a bunch of boys out their playing the first football game of their life! WTF happened?

Anywho, at least I enjoyed the cookout. We ate a ton of awesome food. My father-in-law grilled some of the best shrimp I’ve had in a while. After we were stuffed I helped my mother-in-law do a few things on her computer. I installed a keylogger so she can keep tabs on Hubby’s little sister. Apparently she’s been browsing a lot of sites that she was told are off limits.

Right about the time I settled in to watch the game Alli started sending me texts telling me how awesome the showdown was. She’s going to give me a complete rundown tomorrow, but the one photo she sent told me just how much fun she was having.

She sent me a small video, too, just to rub it in.

EDIT: I had a couple of comments complaining that the video wasn’t working because it seemed like the photo wasn’t allowing it to load. I’m moving it to another post without any images.

All this rain we’ve had all week makes me want to do one thing…get out and ride. That’s exactly what I’m going to do later today. I’m going to play around on pocket bikes with one of my friends. I’ve been telling Hubby for awhile now that I want a pocket bike, but we’ve never seriously talked about it. I’m interested in the x18 although I like the x19 as well.

After today I might be begging him for one, but I might have to hold off for a few months. I did just convince him to let me narrow down my choices of bar sinks to a few I know he’ll like. I’ve been begging him to build me a wet bar for awhile, and I think getting him to agree to one thing at a time is good enough. I don’t want to push my luck!

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Hubby’s wreck last year when he broke his ankle and severely bruised his other ankle. He couldn’t walk for weeks, and he still has a limp in his left leg because of it.

He was hoping he would have the bike back together in time so he could ride up to his crash site on the 1 year anniversary of his wreck, but of course he couldn’t. The bike still isn’t complete. Even if it was, it’s been pouring rain for 2 days now, and that would put him right back in the same situation he was in when he wrecked. The good news is all the parts we were waiting on showed up yesterday!

I’ve been trying to find a replacement brake lever and front master cylinder for months. That’s the part that’s been giving me the most trouble because we only need the one little nipple on top of the master cylinder. It’s also the only part that isn’t available by itself. You can only get it in the master cylinder rebuild kit that’s $95 from the dealership. I finally found a guy on Ebay selling the front master cylinder and brake lever. He had exactly what I needed for a great price, so I saved myself $60 by returning the rebuild kit. That part has driven me crazy, and I’m thankful to have it now. Hubby put it on the bike last night, and all we’re waiting on now is the rest of the welding.

We still haven’t welded the blocks to the frame, but that’s because we’ve been short on time. We just haven’t had time to do it. Hubby can’t work today or probably not tomorrow because of the rain, so he’s going to attempt to get that done today.

If we can get the bike in and out of the paint shop by our beach vacation we’re going to take it to the beach with us. I went to some Wilmington NC real estate sites to see which ones offer beach rentals, but we couldn’t find anything in our price range. We settled for taking a trip down state this year instead. I was trying to save a little cash so we could go to Road Atlanta this weekend for the Suzuki Superbike Showdown and still make a trip to the beach, but that just isn’t happening. Road Atlanta is out. Oh well, maybe next year!
