Saggy Rear End

The bandit needs a new rear shock . The rear end sags badly almost bottoming out two up . 

I picked up a Hayabusa shock off of eBay for $ 40 ,pre-load  rebound damping and compression damping . Only pre load on the OEM Shock . 

I'm hoping for a more stable ride . The rear end  may end up an inch higher or so . That may make the steering quicker . Not sure how that will be but I'm looking forward to finding out . 

It's been a LONG time.

Not quite ready to post regularly again. I think but the pressure to put my thoughts out there is growing. It's been an emotional and busy 18 months or so since I last  posted.

New Home -"Go west young man"  they said ( who are they ? ) so I did .
New Love - Sandrine Exibard a beautiful and exciting woman from the south of France.
Other New Love.  Morgan Exibard also beautiful and exciting , Sans 8 year old daughter.
Lost a Brother - My big Brother Al passed away from Cancer in December 2011. Miss him daily.
I'm now a Guitar player. -Not just a guy who has a guitar (or 6 )

Details and thoughts to come

ADHD Support Group

I joined an adult ADHD support group. The first meeting was incredible! walking into a room with 30 other people who's life experience is so similar to yours was amazing!

Early days but i think it will make a real difference in my life.

Genuine

I've been in a convesation about my next relationship. (Don't worry none too soon)

I was talking to a freind about Who or what kind of person I would be with.

She used the word Genuine.. Good word . Very good word.

I am lucky enough to have a few close  friends that are genuine.

So i think I knowe what i'm talking about.

Hope so anyway. :)

Slices of Life

I'm on my way home from visiting my brother in Telkwa British Columbia . Sitting in the airport in Prince George . I've had an amazing week . I saw a number of animals I've not seen in nature before , met some really nice people , ate healthy and delicious food ( including a curried chicken thanksgiving dinner that was amazing!! ) walked dogs two or three times a day , slept in a cozy cabin heated by a wood stove , used a real chain saw for the fist time , had an ATV ride , took about 800 pictures and best of all got to know my brother Al and his partner Brenda much better .

A very worthwhile trip .

A full report and pics to follow!

Western Views

I'm in Vancouver airport waiting for a connecting flight to Prince George. Where I'm picking up a car to drive to Telkwa to visit my brother . Have not seen him since 2004 . Can't wait to get there . He's got cancer . I hate cancer . Really . Love it here . Maybe a move west is what I need to break the bonds . Sometimes feel like i'm suffocating back home. Work , bills, ADHD , depression all adding up .

But what would I do without my friends? Something to think about that's for sure .

ADHD

ADHD has been on my mind a lot lately. Well that and 100000+ other things but i do keep coming back to the ADHD. The medication I'm on (VyVanse) is helping.  I spent all of Friday and Saturday at home cleaning and reorganizing . I made HUGE strides in the living room ,office and dining room and good progress in the kitchen and my bedroom.  The Bathroom is now very Clean too :) . At work Sunday i did work that would have taken about 7 hours before in 3. tedious work BTW. REALLY Tedious .  Still have irritability problems especially at work and still procrastinate. And I'm definitely impulsive sometimes. Hopefully at some point I can get past all that , I'm looking for a coach now . So expensive but hopefully worth it. tricky though. the one i liked after talking to her turns out to have abandoned a fellow ADDer i met Monday half was through her sesssions and has not paid her back or completed the sessions 4 years later. I'll be looking elseware.

I also joined a Adult ADHD support group. Wow 30 people in that same room as me with almost all of the same issues and challenges. I was euphoric leaving the meeting . Looking forward to more .

Found out that i can NOT have more than a beer or two at a time.  Very adverse emotional effects . This turns out to be a good thing. Far less embarrassing for sure!


Not the most coherent post but all I have for now .  Far more on my mind but it will have to wait.
