I don't have much to report for the last week and a half. I've been working a lot. My office has had a booth at a bunch of fairs these past two weeks, so Sydney and I have been manning those. One was in a park, one at a mall, and one at Babies R Us. She fit right in at Babies R Us, with the cooing and crying babies all over the place. She's doing this thing lately where she wants to type whenever I'm at the computer. I think that might be a sign that I spend too much time on the computer. That, or she is going to follow in her parents' footsteps and be a computer junkie. But I did swear to try to update this more often, so I am going to do it, whether I have news or not! PS. Joe says, "World, I love you". Yeah. Whatever.
 

Syd's new favorite toy. Not any cup; this red cup.
 
Joe has had some setbacks with the new bike... He has a co-worker that was able to help him track down some of the bike's problems. Here is a litany: Carbs need to be rebuilt (all four of them); the rear tire is flat (they have inner tubes in them); the fuel tank needs to be treated for rust - it was bleeding chunks into the gas; the final drive needs to be re-lubed; and the baby needs to go to sleep. Oh, wait, that's a different thing. The coolant needs to be drained and flushed; front and back brakes need to be dealt with. The bike is built around the gas tank, thus its current pitiful condition. And still the baby cries, so I need to finish up this post.

Bike guts.
 

Remnants of a chili burrito. Yum!
 
Gotta go!
