Lots of time...

Having a lot of time on my hands gives me time to think...a lot.
Being unemployed is an interesting state of being. Sure, I am sending out my resume, and applying for just about any job I can find; yet this free time is nice also.
I don't really do much. I am mostly just looking at online employment sites.
It has also given me time to do things I have missed while working. Basically spending more time with my two dogs, and catching up on cleaning around here. I was bored one day, so I bought a bunch of spray paint, and decided to re-paint my motorcycle...it is still in process...but is coming along.
I have been catching up on reading the ride reports at ADVrider, those are always inspiring.
Busy planning our trip down to Phoenix for my cousin's wedding, of course it will be a six day motorcycle trip, with a stop in Las Vegas...oh and if you are ever in Vegas, go to the NYNY hotel and have dinner at Nine Fine Irishmen, it is a great Irish pub setting, with traditional Irish cuisine, and a great beer selection.
I actually have a slightly funny story about the first time we went there.
We were on our week long vacation to Zion/Bryce canyon national parks, and spent the weekend before in Las Vegas. My parents were driving up from CA, and it happened to be that Sarah's mom was going to be in Vegas with her boyfriend for some marketing conference. So, we all went to dinner there...it was interesting. I am Irish, and of course so is my father, and so is Linda's (Sarah's mom) boyfriend...it must have been fate.

Anyway...looking for a job in this economy sucks ass...
That is all for now..
