Tracey finished her last day at work for a while and is now officially on vacation. That won’t stop the phone from ringing of course, and she will answer it, but at least she’s at home. She finally got a chance to play with her new scooter a bit. I snapped a few photos of her tooling up and down the driveway and around the yard. The ground is too wet from all the rain to really get out on the flat and ride it. She can’t ride it on the street yet because she has no license. It will take her a while to learn the balance of it and the difference in the way it handles at slow speed and faster speeds but she is on her way.
One of the cool features of this bike is that the two front wheels tilt and have independent suspension so it handles more like a 2 wheel bike but with more stability up front. It also has a locking mechanism so that when you come to a stop you can push a button and the front suspension locks so the bike won’t fall over. You don’t have to put your feet down when you do this. And as soon as you accelerate the suspension unlocks automatically. That particular feature wasn’t operating properly so I had to do a little research to discover there is a switch under the seat that had a wire pulled out of it. I put the wire back in and it worked! I think it had been intentionally disabled because there were marks like a pliers would leave in the insulation. I don’t know why anyone would to this but I fixed it and now it works as advertised. Always something isn’t it? Brand new scooter and already had to fix it!
Ben got a chance to work with his cousin Tom loading hay bales at a Yordy farm yesterday. He is excited about getting some money this summer and plans to go back again today.
We tried to watch the last of the primary election coverage last night but the thunderstorms messed up our satellite reception quite a bit. We missed the last half or so of Obama’s victory speech. We didn’t miss the nonsense that spewed from Hillarity Clintoon though. What the hell is that woman thinking? She’s not making any decisions and wants people to email her. Decisions about what? Get over yourself loser ... your only decision now is which pant suit to wear to the Senate. And it was a good thing she didn’t quit her day job. It is apparent she is either trying to extort the VP spot or plans to run Independent. If Obama offers her the VP spot I will simply not vote.
George Hanamoto inspects some marijuana plants he is growing as his wife, Jean, right, looks on at their home in the Mendocino County community of Willits, Calif., Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Under a law passed in 2000, county residents may grow up to 25 marijuana plants for medical, recreational or personal use. A measure before county voters in the June 3 primary would scale back the law only allowing six plants to be grown. George Hanamoto, 74, who uses marijuana to relieve glaucoma and for back pain, said cutting plant limits would hurt people like him because growing conditions mean he can’t always get the maximum out of each plant.
