Lets Catch Up!

As I was surfing here at work, I came across my old "Life In The Much" Blog. WOW, has it been almost five years since I posted anything? Come to realize, I have been with the Pentagon for almost five years now too. WOW! Well, let us recap from my last post. I finally had all of my documents in order for DMV and became a Virginia Resident. Was issued my Virginia Handgun Permit. Moved out of the place I was in, really could not stand the landlords son, he thought it was need to "boss around" white Americans. Him being of Middle Easter desent and all. Living in a much better place with a MUCH BETTER LANDLORD. He and his family are real good to me. Only issues I have had with my place was the flood about a year and a half ago that wiped out the carpet and just really made a mess. Other than that, I enjoy where I am living. I joined a Motorcycle Club. Not an "outlaw" type of club, but a Military MC. Have been with them since March 2009 and have worked my way up to National Vice President. WOW! I have had two more Motorcycles since I last wrote. Sold Pearl to a lifelong friend that lives in NC, traded my '05 HD Police bike in on a 2013 Ultra. Can you say ride in comfort???? Since 2009 I have logged over 77,000 miles on the motorcycles. Two seperate trips to Texas, one trip to Missouri, Seattle and last year Sturgis, South Dakota. Not for the rally, but for my Clubs National Run. I love my Club, and I love the Military Brotherhood that I lost when I left the Army in '95. My poor HHR, I wrecked her in December of 2009, during the initial part of the first of two snow storms that winter. I was driving to fast and slid into the curb on the way home from officiating a game. Folded the front passenger wheel under. Insurance fixed it, and she runs great. She does have 140K miles on her now. Just this week, I changed the plugs and timing chain tensioner. All in about an hour. Gotta love that car! Lisa and I have done a lot of stuff. Daytona Bike Week 2009, Ohio Bike 2009, 2009 Spring Michigan Race, Mardi Gras 2010, Deck The Halls Wine tasting twice, Fall Myrtle Beach Bike week twice, Delmarva Bike Week twice, a three day trip to Niagra Falls, two cruises on Carnival, Disney Orlando (Thanks Matt and Becky) and Universal Florida, several Maryland Renaissance festivals, an Irish Festival and other small little trips. I have been promoted twice since coming to the Pentagon, and right now I have moved to the leased facilities directorate, a branch of my agency that manages all the buildings associated with the Pentagon. Probably the biggest event in the last five years has been the birth of my Grandson Coal! Charlie gave birth to him on February 24th, 2013!!!! I am so proud of her. I tell her all the time, but I really do not think she knows how serious I am! He is growing so fast, and she just posted a video of him and the steps in the house. WOW! Some more good family news, my sister Becky took a job in Houston, Tx about two years ago and I am so happy for her! Gonna go see her in December. My brother, whom has not spoke to anyone in YEARS, is back in touch with the family and that makes me happy too!! Well, I think that about covers it. Gotta really start posting again.
