Last week and the weekend

I took my Vulcan 750 out for a ride on Thursday. It has been a month at least since I last rode my bikes. The bike started up fine the first time, I'd put seafoam in the gas the last time I put it up. I went through half a tank (about 70 miles) riding and the ride home was in the dark and COLD! I thought about getting gas on the way back but there was a driver in a Volvo who passed me on the interstate and then started messing with me. He got over, and got off on my exit... Then slowed down about 20 mph below the speed limit. So I passed him and got over and he sped up and started riding my back tire. So I sped up and so did he. I didn't want to pull over at the gas station because the lights were out and the pumps still work but this guy was behaving erratic. At one point he decided to speed up to about 80 mph in the 50 mph zone and pass me, then proceed to put his brakes on and slow down to 50. I don't understand idiots like this. Brand new car, expensive car, and behaving like a jerk. I ended up slowing down and letting him just blow on down the road. The way he was driving he was gonna get picked up by the police.

I cleaned out 12 bags of trash at dad's house on Friday just picking up papers, empty boxes, and things which were junk the other day. His house is getting cleaner, and hopefully if he vacuums we can get it cleaned up and sell it sometime late this year or early next year. The sooner the better.

I found out on Sunday at church that New Life Church is prepping their building site for a new building with a sanctuary which will seat 2200 people. WOW. I drove by the place with Courtney after Church to check out the new location, and it's just down the road a few miles. We ate at Osaka Japanese Sushi and Mongolian Grill out on Highway 10 (it was very good, very expensive! :-) and went to Pinnacle and the Arkansas Arboretum and walked the trails and took pictures with her digital SLR camera. It turned out to be a pretty good weekend
