whoot I found a new way to process em!
I was doing some yard work and there it was. I was about to touch it. That is how close I got to it and it never moved. I had to keep my eye on it till Animal Control came in case it moved. If it crawled away I was to call them back and tell them not to come. Thank God it never moved. Bertha, That's what I called her. Bertha got here, scooped up the rattlesnake like it was nothing and was on her way.
Perhaps if I just start blogging again and don't say anything, no one will notice it's been almost five months since my last post. Lots has happened. I made it through another semester, which puts me half-way through my degree. I did a really cool project with the Queensland Department of Emergency Services, and got a part-time job out of it. I also got a job at Woolworths doing night fill, but that's not nearly as glamorous as the gig at DES and, well, I'm not really doing it any more anyway. And I celebrated ONE YEAR IN AUSTRALIA, which fell really close to the Fourth of July. Here are the pics.

So not only did I meet someone whose versed in so many fields, languages and all... but the weather was freaky great.. it was foggy yet good.. We started the shoot on Baker beach with Jen , My self, Linda , her dog Oliver and Monk the model. After the beach shoot we went for Dim Sum then back to my apt/ studio to rap it up. more to come
I got my bike today and it's beautiful! The color of my bike is EXACTLY the same as our car.
I'm having to guess a bit at speed, as it reads in Kilometers (with a tiny inside ring reading mph). And the seat is not what I expected. The photos all showed a tan seat, so I ordered a tan jacket. The dealer and I were both surprised to see that the bike has a brown seat. Odd for a red bike. Odd for ANY bike. Black would have made more sense. Oh well - They are ordering me a tan seat so it will look as expected eventually. And when my butt's on the seat I don't see it!
I got the bike with 2 miles on it. I rode it home 24 miles. Ben and I rode into the hills tonight and I am now at 61 miles. I LOVE this bike. I feel so relaxed on it. Its perfect for me. And finally I feel happy to ride fast! Once I get 100 miles on my tires, I'm trying it on the freeway!
It's also WONDERFUL that Ben and I both have new bikes from same dealer. Both our bikes have approx 60 miles on them. We will be taking them in together for service. The dealer and all the folks working at this shop are wonderful. Aprilia for the win!
