It's really really awesome to have a place where, when it's pouring and thundering and lightning out, that I can appreciate it. I missed so many storms in our last apartment because I never could really tell they were happening. Here, the rain pounds down on the skylight. It's awesome.

Found a bike I want. Hope they let me have it. Eeeee! wanitwanitwanit!

Mom bought us a kitchen island for a housewarming present. She's sweet. S4 and I put it together tonight, so now there is a place for the dishes that isn't out on the table. Hooray! Now all we need is a rock.

...

Yaaaay! Owner emailed me back! I may very well have a new/old motorcycle this weekend- '74 Honda CB450!

YAY!!! congratulations!! the pitter patter of rain on your skylight, a kitchen island and now a bike?! oh my! :D

ps - what do you need a rock for?

That's a joke/bad pun, mostly for

gunn's benefit. :) We have a rock (rock rock rock lobster), we have an iiiiiiisland...

Looks like a fine bike, and a close relative of my old 750:

Dual overhead cam, unusual for the time. At 45hp, that's only about 10 less than my CX. Hopefully yours has a disc front brake; not all of that model did.

Heh, I think that 750 was the first bike i was ever on!
I believe this one does have a disc brake.
It'll be interesting to get used to riding compared to my XJ, which had more horsepower, a four cylinder engine, a shaft instead of chain drive, and was 60+ pounds heavier. I had to look it up, but at over 500 lbs, I'm kinda surprised I could pick it up when I dumped!

how about a prosthetic forehead? do you have one of those?

When I lived in uptown, my room had a big skylight right above my bed. It was freaking awesome, whether it was raining or sunny. Of course then it started to leak. That was less good.

Yay on all counts!
