We drank coffee at the shop again. They're very busy on Sundays. We sat out front this time. It was nice, but just a bit cold.
I did more programming, learning loops for the first time. Exciting!Yesterday I wanted to ride our motorcycle. It's been a while, I've been trying to get over the fear and back into the "I love it!" feeling. The bike won't start. Our neighbor and I agreed that it sounded like the battery. I looked up instructions online on how to jump start a bike. Turns out it's the same as jumping a car. If you're jumping from a car battery, you don't start the car. It will ruin the bike's ignition system because the car battery is more powerful.
Today I got out our jumper cables, figure out how to expose the battery on the bike and hooked it up. No love. So I went down to Escondido Motorsports and bought a battery charger. I spent the next 30 minutes following the instructions in the manual on how to remove the battery. I think I've conquered a bit of my fear of electricity. Progress!The battery is now charging in the "mud room"/laundry room.
Every weekend I also try to do a little house work. Yesterday I figured out how to change the code on the garage door pad outside. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought. I just needed to find the make and model and Google it.The internet is amazing. You can find anything from how to jump a motorcycle to how to change your garage door passcode.
Rock on Internet!

I love the interwebs. I really do. We found a car manual online for the honda we wanted to buy just so we could haggle with the seller about dealer recommended regular maintenance that hadn't been done. We downloaded it to our Palms and showed them the actual PDF photo image of the actual page in the actual book when they balked at replacing the timing belt.
Then I looked up the Lewis Chessmen.
