Post awesome things you have been doing recently

Ohhh I have "the most awesome" thing that I ever done, I'm working. 😥 Why I can't just have awesome things like you

[pidjones]

Just got home yesterday from a 13 day 4200 mile motorcycle trip with the wife. Took US70 from Tennessee to its Western terminus in Arizona, then back roads to Williams, train to the Grand Canyon, returned via US60 with a side trip to the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest. Also a stop to stand on a corner when a hot girl in a truck pulled up.

Went back home after the honeymoon! It was great, both having it and coming back. Dan, congrats! How did it go? As an ex bride (currently a wife), I cannot help sharing useful articles I found while preparing the wedding. spam..com  it's about cakes as you can see, you can take a couple of ideas from here (as I did).

Very proud of myself and the family today. Our daughter and I both donated blood for first time. My wife and sister-in-law also donated for 4 units from the family. Glad my needle phobia is subsiding enough to let me help those in need.

I started taking Italian language classes.

Put the 3rd GoldWing on the road today. A '79 that I plan to use as my daily driver in hot weather as it is neked. Still need to upgrade the shocks and put a lower set of handlebars on it, but it is running great!

Haven't been hear much, lately. We had put our 15 yr old Boston Terrier to sleep a couple of weeks ago which crushed me. But here's the real reason I haven't been here. Meet Cooper, our newest family member. I am so tired!

sorry for your loss,that's a super hard thing to go through,

but cooper is super cute and I am sure will cheer you up.

Paris...just returned.

Another GoldWing rescued. Bought in December 2019 from a fence row in Kentucky. Still needs paint and a front tire, but this derelict is a runner again after at least 9 years.

Pretty damn clean, too. 

Getting on a motorcycle and cruising around would be a very decent way of mitigating this isolation and distancing times, too.

Currently in lockdown in the middle of nowhere spending my time applying for new jobs and trying to figure out where I’m going to live next.

Just got done with a 14 day self-quarantine though since I recently returned to the states after traveling around Asia and Africa for work (though that schedule was changed multiple times and then cut drastically short due to COVID-19. I should still be in Africa right now!) 

Here are a couple pictures from some of my recent travels!

Very awesome, @Jae ! Good luck in your employment search. I understand that beside restocking and logistics work in retail stores, healthcare facilities are looking for people with applicable experience to handle their masdive loads of patients. I would think anyone with experience in steril practice (and a desire to help people) would be useful.

[SStu]

A lot of paths and doorways pictured there. Very nice, thanks!

Thanks [mention]pidjones [/mention] ! I have an interview this Friday actually! Many of my possible employers are thankfully still going through the hiring process, they just aren’t having people start until it’s all over.

Thank you! Got to admit. It was difficult to pick and choose which pictures. I took so many.

[mclien]

I needed Tables/Workbeches for my new workplace. Since I couldn't find suitable ones, I made them myself, so they would use the available space as best as possible

[pidjones]

Nice! What do you use the Bell Jar for?

[mclien]

That's part of the vacuum casting machine. To get the bubble of the mold material.

The orange thing behind it, is the kiln.
