The Laziest Of Weekends.

     This weekend has been a complete and total wash. I have done nothing, and I think I needed it. I was off on Friday so I got all my bills paid, and then I sat back and reveled in the thought that my financial responsibility was done for the month. I was even so exhausted from doing that, that I went to sleep around 9 o'clock. It was exhilarating. Morty did however see fit to wake me up at 3 in the morning to go outside, and then he didn't want to come it. It was in the 30's with me standing out there in thin pajamas. It kind of sucked.

     I probably could have rode Saki. It was clear skies all weekend, but with the temperature being so low for this area, it was way more comfortable to just lounge around the house. I did take care of a few small things in the garage, and that made me realize that I need to also think about a heating element in their as well as an air conditioning unit. It was frigid in that garage.

     I got a new hat from Ride Apparel Co. That is a company that was created by a motovlogger that I follow. and he puts out pretty cool stuff. He has been wearing this hat in his most recent videos and I've been looking for it on the Ride website. In his last video he finally said it was on the website and I went directly there and ordered it.

     

     One of the few pictures I will post of myself. I really dig the hat. I did do one thing this weekend, I signed up on Match.com. It's probably against my better judgement, but I'm giving the online thing a try again. I made that picture up there the one on my profile, so i'm sure I'm going to get no matches. I'll keep you updated on how things go, good or bad. Oh, I also got tickets for a Prince Tribute concert. If you are in the Orlando area and want to go, let me know, I have an extra ticket, it should be a fun time. It's going to be on a Saturday night in Orlando at the House of Blues. I really like that venue for shows.

     I forgot to share this picture with you last week. I got it during the filming of my last video, which by the way, not a single person has watched. You are missing out on what I think might be one of my best ones, and I'm not just saying that to get you to go watch it. Anyway, here is the picture I got of Saki in the parking lot after sunrise.

     I was squatting down to get this shot at a slightly different angle, and then I realized that I mainly take pictures of Saki at the same angle each time, so I moved to more of a 3/4 angle, and I really liked it, so I'm going to start incorporating different angle for my shots from now on, and I also started thinking about the next mod on Saki. I'm thinking of getting rid of the stock mirrors, and going to some bar end mirrors. It will streamline things a bit, and I think it will give it a better aesthetic look to it. I'm going to shop around for the right ones. I'll let you know when I finally get them. I'm also going to have to get some block off plates for the area the stock mirrors are bolted. If I don't, there are going to be holes in the fairing where the mirrors were. I found some already, but they are just black plastic, and they don't look that good. I'm going to search around for something a little more sharp looking. If I don't find anything, black will do the job, but they will get painted when I finally learn how to paint Saki. That is still in the future plans. I have a lot of equipment to get for that, and that is going to be quite a ways off. It will happen though. I also started thinking more about finally getting that under lighting kit to put on as well. I think I might do the mirrors and that at the same time. Make for a big change with little things.

     Finally with it being such a nice day, I spent a little time in the backyard with Morty. He was just hanging out and having a great time out there. The temperature was up in the upper 50's and maybe low 60's this afternoon, so it was real pleasant out there. This is what Morty looks like in full on chill mode.

     I nearly forgot. I finally got the new case for my phone. I have always been a fan of Lifeproof cases, and this new one is fantastic. I do have one concern though. I have always gone for their full coverage case in the past, I think it is called the fré. It is a great case. It covered the phone entirely, to the point that when I took my 7+ out of the case to ship it back to Apple for my trade in, it looked like a brand new phone. This new case is a little different. Since the new iPhones are water resistant, there wasn't really a need for a full coverage case, so I went for their cheapest one, and it covers most of the phone perfectly, but there is nothing on the screen. One of the downfalls of the fré is that the screen protector that was part of the phone, left the screen a bit dull, not so much that you would care, but it was there. That isn't an issue with this new case, but the screen is completely unprotected with this case. It is more like a bumper case. It protects the sides from drops, and the screen from flat surface direct drops, but if I dropped it on some stones or something like that, it may damage the screen. I'll have to be a little more careful with this phone than the last. I don't have a picture of it, but I will make sure I point it out in the next video I do. Oh, it does have a hard clear plastic back to the case, so the back of the phone is well protected. You won't be able to see that in the video, because more than likely I will show it to you while it is in the mount on the bike. 

     Speaking of the next video, I need to come up with an idea. I have a few, but I haven't buttoned it down to one particular thing yet. I'll make sure I finalize a plan by the weekend and get it shot and edited. Peace in and goodnight.
