It's like waiting for Christmas morning......
« on: May 11, 2012, 07:00:04 PM »
So I have a bunch of stuff ordered.  And now I'm waiting for them all to get here.   :'(

Windscreen - Cee Bailey's.......Waiting, should be here sometime next week
Fairing box - On it's way.  Left Bloomington California this morning via FedEx.
Power Commander - It's here!!
Air Filter Kit - It's Here!!
Cobra Pipes - 17 May.
Yamaha Engine guards - On the way!!

I feel like a seven year old at 0300 hrs that keeps going into his parents room to to see if they can open presents yet.  I know this, cause I was that seven year old waking up at 0300 hrs bugging his parents.  I think they are still mad at me.

I just got my 'fairing box' today.  It is awesome!  Blends in perfectly with the rest of the bike and now I can park the bike and run into a store for a couple seconds (literally, I still wouldn't leave it for over a minute or out of my sight) without having to worry about my phone attracting unwanted smash-and-grab attention.  Mine hung up a little when opening the door but I just had to shave a couple microns or plastic off for it to go smoothly.  Have fun with all your 'toys' when they come in!

I was like that two weeks ago.  One day I got pissed when a UPS truck rounded the corner to my street and had the freakin audicity to drive past my house without delivering me another goodie.

My only outstanding orders right now are the fairing box (on its way), saddlebag lid storage bags, and (2) Clearview windshields. I may have to drive to Colorado and crack some skulls at Clearview...they take too long.

Doesn't FedEx deliver on Saturdays?  According to the FedEx web site, one of the parts I'm waiting for is in the local area as of 0630 this morning.  Website says it's on the truck to be delivered on the next business day.  Monday is the next business day.  I can't wait that much longer.

It didn't get here yesterday.  My Daughter was sleeping over at friends house so I took the wife and the boy out for a day on the town.  Food, shopping and then we saw the Avengers (Awesome Movie) and then we came home about 8:30 last night.  For some reason I hear the door being messed with.  The UPS and FeDex guys do the same thing, mess with screen door, put the package between the two doors, ring the door bell and walk away.  So I get all excited and throw open the front door and it's my son's friend from down the street.  Poor kid must have pissed his pants and developed a stutter after that encounter.  He wanted my son to come out and play some kind of chase each other in the dark game.  So I kicked my son out to play and I cried myself to sleep.

You want to hear a good one?  This is back in my MTI days.  As a drill instructor, the look is easy to manufacture.  You want to be intimidating.  You want those brand new recruits to wonder what they just did.  Anyone who has been though boot camp will understand this.  The biggest thing about that job, when the day was done was to "turn it off."  This is also a job with long hours.  So every once in a while I got to come home at a reasonable time.  So when this happens I would usually drive up to my house and all of my son's friends and my son would be playing in the street.  Riding bikes, throwing balls doing what kids do.  As soon as those kids saw me drive around the corner they would scatter like roaches when the light comes on.  Leaving all their stuff in the street, including my son, who would stand there wondering why everyone just left.  I would never say a word to these kids, I never had a chance to.
