Weeknotes 38
- Fixed the busted washing machine. Here’s to hoping this pump lasts longer than the 10 months the last one made it.
-
Week 9 for the DMV title fixing process, and we finally heard back! Unfortunately, that message was one of rejection. The motorcycle was originally purchased in Michigan, and Michigan is where the title’s VIN was originally goofed up. So Virginia’s DMV requires Michigan to fix the title first, then re-submit the application.
So, this week, I officially bailed on trying to buy this bike. I’ve wasted 9 weeks of prime motorcyclin’ weather waiting for this, I’m not going to waste another 9.
- So, relatedly, I bought a new motorcycle! Frustratingly, there aren’t many
used NX500’s for sale, and I’m pretty much sold on acquiring one. So I bit
the bullet, and got one new (2024 model) from a dealership a couple hours
away. Got to put it to good use on a delayed Father’s Day ride with the whole
fam’.
- Mugello pizza + limoncello + affogato MotoGP party was a success. I tweaked the dough prep a little bit, and used a poolish I let ferment in the ‘fridge overnight. Not sure it made a noticeable difference flavor-wise. But it is maybe a bit more convenient timing-wise.
- Guess that’s pretty much it. Not much else going on in the world this week, right?
