Went to the DMV on Monday to fix up the litany of mistakes they made the last
time I renewed my license. Address fixed, organ donation status restored, and
class M motorcycle license is back, baby!
I (kind of) bought a bike! Found an NX500 for sale in Charlottesville. Went
to check it out, and it’s, indeed, sweet. Continuing my DMV issues, we
noticed the VIN on the title is missing a digit. (Aside: my inner computer
programmer is screaming. How are there no validations on VIN numbers at the
DMV, which are always 17 digits long?) So, I put a deposit down, and the
seller’s working on getting that mess straightened out.
Spent some time re-organizing our shed to make room for this impending
motorcycle ownership. It’s downright roomy now!
Our fence is beginning to show some signs of aging. So thought it’d be a good
idea to stain it to protect it from the elements a bit. Just winged it, and
bought a couple gallons of stain, and went to work. Burned through those 2
gallons after staining about 10% of the fence. Did some math to figure out
how much stain I’d need to complete the whole thing, and it’d cost more than
replacing all the fence pickets with better quality pickets. New strategy:
let it go! I’ll just replace it after it looks sufficiently horrible.
MotoGP race at Jerez this weekend. Quartararo got pole position, and managed
an incredible 2nd place finish in the race today. More of this, please.
Having 6 Ducatis in the top 6 is getting very old.
