Holy shit, I’m tired.

yawn
exhausted

Tomorrow is the last day of the Rider’s Edge course. We all had to be at the course by 6:45 this morning and I didn’t sleep well last night. The morning was filled with back to back exercises that basically meant about 5 hours on the bike. After lunch, I was falling out. We had some course work in the classroom and then a test before I we could leave. I have to be back on site at 6:45 tomorrow and am so exhausted I could coma right this second, but I can’t. A friend from Louisiana, Luke, is driving in for the Saints/Texans NFL game tomorrow at Reliant and I sorta got roped into taking him out on the town since he’s staying at my house tonight. I suppose I really don’t mind being the host and it should be fun… I just wish I wasn’t so fatigued. I would have rather spent my evening quietly relaxing with early bedtime. Georgia and I scored perfectly on the exam and Barrett almost made 100% as well, so they both should be able to get their motorcycle licenses early next week if they pass the practical exam tomorrow. I have every confidence that they will breeze through with flying colors. Georgia did awesome on the course today from start to finish. I’m really proud of her! Barrett did well too after he almost got kicked out for rev’ing his engine and threatening to peel out. He was talking smack all morning, but after he had to focus on what he was doing, he did great. Some weren’t so fortunate. One lady dropped her bike twice before being removed from the field… limping. There were a couple of young men and another woman that all dropped their motorcycles at least once. Barrett told me the youngest kid fell over at least 4 times alone. I suppose it’s to be expected for first time riders or very inexperienced riders. I can’t even remember the first time I rode a motorcycle alone, but I’m sure I had trouble too. Well, Luke should be here in about 30 minutes, so I’m going to chug some caffeine and splash some cold water in my face. My eyes hurt. My back hurts. Barry called and asked me to meet him for beer, so maybe that alone will keep us on the north side and help manage the evening. If we end up going downtown, I may as well not even sleep tonight. Party like a rock star.

pee ess... If you hit the lotto, buy me this please. <3

I started on motorcycles when I was 4.  Everyone in my family rode them (even my AMISH grandmother and my mother) so that’s just all I knew.  However, it’s been a while so I don’t know that I’d even be able ride one well anymore.

Get some rest, mister!  Flu season is almost here!
