Playing Catch Up

Time to back up for a bit for the 5 cent version as promised. I ended up staying in Mississippi for a few fun months. It was a good job with lots of time off to ride. Marti Gras was fun. Every little town has their own parade on different weekends and it makes for a lot of street partying, etc for about a six week period leading up to the big blast in New Orleans. Met a lot of great people and a few crazy ones as well.

Got home just in time for the Daytona Beach Bike Week... A couple that I met in MS rode down the day I got home and stayed with Stacey and me for all the partying. We had a great time picking new directions/places to ride every day. Bike week has gotten way bigger than just Daytona Beach. It encompases all the neighboring towns for twenty miles or more in every direction. It was a fun week to be sure but then it was back to work... BTW, the couple I mentioned, Ronnie and Brenda, got married a couple weekends ago. I wanted to be there to help them celebrate but couldn't make it. We'll see them again in July for our 2 week trip.

Damn, I've been jumping from site to site doing 1 to 2 week jobs. Racking up frequent flyer miles and work hours non-stop. Since Bike Week I've been to Tallahassee, Panama City and Indiantown in FL, Valladolid in the middle of Yucatan (not many tourists there), Chehalis, WA, Remington, VA and now I'm in El Dorado, Arkansas. I've enjoyed being busy and hope to land one more assignment when I complete this one next week before taking the remainder of the summer off.

OK, I think that's 5 cents worth...
