I'm sitting in the information center of the hospital. It's 227 right now, and fortunately I got some coffee, so I'm awake. It's kinda weird working at the hospital and telling people where to go, and answering the phone, because I have no real clue what I'm doing. I got a 45 minute briefing the other day, but it kind of just skimmed through what I'm supposed to do. I'd say though I'm doing pretty well all things considered.
Hey at least I got to watch the last quarter of the Mav's game, so I was pretty stoked. And they won, for those of you who did not watch or want to know.
Anyway, life's going pretty good. I can't wait to see Zach and Marla, and getting off work should be nice. Hopefully we'll get the shelves in the garage built. That's what I really want to get done.
I start school on tuesday so that's a bummer, but the more I do, the sooner I will get a degree.
Anyway, I'm just starting to ramble, so I'll post more another time.
Love you all and I'll talk to you later.

Work
As I'm sure all of you have read Bean's blog, so you know what we've been up to and what we plan to do in the next few days. I have to call the people whose house we are going to so I can say hi, and hopefully get directions. I've got to say, that calling total strangers and asking for directions to their house so we can crash their barbecue isn't my forte, but I'm hoping that they don't mind too much. I'm sure they won't, and that it will be great fun. We're praying that we have finally found our church. It's been so long since we've had a HOME church, and I am really optimistic about this one. Please pray with us in this.
Oh and on another note, does anyone notice that work coffee is always the best. I don't know why that is, but it seems to me that I can make coffee and home and it is never as good. But actually the best coffee ever is at IHOP or Denny's. I haven't had any of it in a little while, but hey what can you do.

Are they serious?
Ok, I just saw a Chevy Tahoe commercial. The commercial begins with a panoramic shot of a large field of sunflowers. They are gently blowing in the breeze on a seemingly refreshing crisp morning. Then comes the shot of the Tahoe driving down a curvy road with sunflowers blowing behind it. You get this nice relaxed, clean feeling of no cares or worries. The nice voice calmly tells how wonderful the Tahoe is and what great gas mileage it gets. What is that number you ask? 22 MPG.
Now I'm not Green Peace guy or hard core ecology freak, but are you kidding me? I mean I have two trucks that get 22 MPG or less. But I'm paying for the gas because I chose to drive these trucks. The question that I have is, since when is 22 MPG something to brag about? I guess I wouldn't use the 22MPG as a selling point.
Crazy Chevy!

No bike for me
I went to the police auction yesterday and came back empty handed. There were four bikes, which usually means that at least a couple are decent enough to buy. The two I was hoping for, an '84 Kawasaki GPZ, and an '84 Kawasaki KZ700. Both turned out to be in really poor condition, and needed more work than I wanted to put in. Quite the bummer, but what can you do? There was a 1996 or something close to that, Suzuki GSX-R, but it went for a ridiculous $2,900! So in the end I still don't have a bike.
On a good note, I was inspected yesterday, or should I say, my fitness program was inspected. The military likes to make sure every couple of years that everything is running smoothly. It seems that I did pretty well considering the inspector guy was only there for about thirty minutes. We shall see though.
I need to finish getting ready for work, so I guess I'll be going. Mostly I'm starving so I'm going to eat an english muffin and then drink a latte, then I'll go to work. Ok, I'm going.
Oh, I still have hope though that I'll get a bike before too long, and one that I really want. The Suzuki GS500E. Anyway, stay classy San Diego.

More bike stuff
I gotta admit, I really just love bikes. I can't wait to get one. Hopefully this coming wednesday, I'll buy one.
Anyway I was talking to one of my bosses and he was telling me about some other bikes I should look at. That is after I make some money and after I get used to my first bike. Anyway, one I was telling Zach about, the Suzuki SV-650S is a nice bike, with great gas mileage.
He then told me about a dual-sport that gets super good gas mileage and also has some good power, the Kawasaki KLR650. I don't know, both are good bikes and fairly cheap for being new bikes, but I still don't have that kind of money. But hey if you haven't made any contributions to good causes this year, I would be happy to invest your hard earned dollars into a new bike for a worthy cause. Me being the worthy cause that is.

Caesar Idol
Yes it is true, some folks in ancient history Idolized Caesar, but I'm talking about some not so old stuff. Actually it better have been pretty new or that's gross.
Anyway, the Bean and I went over to A&M's house tonight to watch American Idol and eat some really awesome Little Caesars pizza, with crazy bread. It wasn't as crazy as it was bready and garlicy. But it was great either way. Bean's known Matt ever since she started working at Cap Group, but I have only known him and his wife for two short weeks. It's pretty great having friends to hang out with.
Hopefully tomorrow of thursday I'll get to ride Johnny's bike and get some practice. If I haven't said before Johnny is my boss at work. He also found out about the police impound auctions. There's been a few bikes the past few weeks, but next week and the week after there are going to be at least four bikes up for auction each week. Most are categorized as prisoner's property or uninsured, so that usually means they haven't been wrecked. I'm hopeful that they won't go very high, and I can get one for even cheaper than what Johnny has estimated them to go for. One on the 17th is a Suzuki GSX-R 750.
It's actually the bike I've wanted since we lived in England and a guy at work had one. They're sweet bikes and they look pretty sweet too.
Anyway, the Kings are playing and I'm hoping the beat the junk out of the Spurs.
