A little late to the party but..

It's my second ~60 hour week in a row and I haven't been home in a month. Finally getting a job done on time due to a change in management. The change in management has been confidence boosting because it's been me and another guy running the job. Thought this new series of jobs was stressful turns out the previous manager was just incompetent. Since we are on schedule I get to hopefully work a half day tonight and drive the 7 hours home overnight to spend a Saturday with friends. This will be better than another weekend by myself in a city I'm a stranger too.

It's been nice exploring different places recently but it's made me realize that traveling alone for long periods is kind of morose. You start to crave a friendly face and someone to just share an experience with minus a momentary connection at a bar or show. So yeah excited to go home.

The most annoying part recently is trying to buy a damn used motorcycle. Keep seeing bike's i'd love to have and talking with the those selling but they always end up selling after a few days. I don't blame them for not waiting but damn is it frustrating. I'm really trying to find a CB750 to chop up and I can't bring myself to pay for a finished cafe racer that i'm just going to take down to the engine but I think i'll have to. Considering just buying a dirtbike to do wheelies on in the meantime. Here's an inspiration picture I have

Anyways, hope everyone has had a good week and has a better weekend.
