I\u2019m careful about what I share with you all. The things I link to on this blog are things that really speak to me and therefore speak to people who read this blog. I honestly assume the few hundred regulars that read this blog are just as curmudgeonly and old fashioned as I am. I have 35 articles in my backlog yet not a new post to this blog in 2 weeks. i\u2019m really sorry about that and in the 20 years I\u2019ve been blogging, I\u2019ve maybe only put 5 posts up apologizing for the last of posts. \u201csorry I haven\u2019t posted in a while\u201d is a hilarious meme that I\u2019m not too keen on embracing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It has been Winter but I\u2019m in a state of chaos right now. I\u2019m busier than ever at work while at the same time, broadening my horizons by going back to school and busy completely tricking out my new motorcycle and spending the weekends with Heather and shoveling snow on my driveway and roof along with a new part time job on the weekends. As soon as things slow down a bit, I\u2019ll be doing some great motorcycle trips this year and Golf R modifications. It\u2019s just very busy for me\u2026possibly busier than ever!<\/p>\n
With that though, there\u2019s still this looming of crisis of carpal tunnel. I\u2019m dealing with it on my own for now but the last thing I want to do at the end of a long day is write. I will work through this back log even if it means taking a day off from my regular job to get it done.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m careful about what I share with you all.
