I set up a new dynamic web page
I tell ya, programming for the web is a kick! I know Sherri enjoys just manipulating the html code for web pages... she can do some amazing stuff with that. But I like the ability to dynamically generate the web page, using scripts on the server or on the browser to create the web page "just in time" for the reader to view it, based on the reader's preferences and the "latest information".

Wild Thunderstorms Hit Sacramento Valley
Had a some really wild thunderstorms hit the Sacramento Valley region on Monday... Scared the heck out of the animals at home. Quite an awesome light show though...

Changing the layout and the basic look & feel was pretty straightforward; now I'm taking the next step to modifying the behavior of the blog.

My old friend is back!
Ahhhh... finally!! I've got my motorbike back again.
I was pretty surprised how different it felt. I guess I really got used to riding Sherri's little F650CS. My 'bike felt almost too big for me... I thought for sure the shop had put the seat in the highest position when they put everything back together, but when I checked it was in the right position after all. It's like riding a new bike again... !
