Well, look what the cat dragged in!

So, it's apparently been nearly 1-1/2 years since I've been on here 
, so I thought I might have to just go and introduce myself again!
Sorry I've been away so long. I have missed you guys! Life has been BUSY, and I just don't spend nearly as much time on the computer as I used to these days. A lot has changed, and some hasn't. I still have both my XJ's (Ruby and "The Pile", as I've come to refer to the one that has literally been a pile of parts for at least 2 years now). I also now have a big upgrade in my stable. Last winter, my boss sold me his 2000 BMW K1200RS for a ridiculously he's-very-generous low price that I couldn't pass up. It had a little cosmetic damage from a low speed lay down on ice, but runs like a champ...SOOO much power! I haven't done any riding in about a year though, because I layed the BMW down myself last February. It wasn't a bad crash at all (though the insurance company gave me a nice fat check for it anyway...and still left me with a clean title), but I sprained my wrist which turned into tendinitis that has been taking a very long time to heal (almost 100% finally).
The really big change, for those that remember how much I talked about this: we finally were able to buy a house! We got a really really nice place in a great subdivision just outside of town...and a spacious 2-1/2 car garage. It's a big God-blessing, because there's no way we could have got a place like this without a long list of big and little miracles that came together to make it happen. We just moved in about 2 weeks ago, so there's still a ton of settling in to do, but I got to do my first official wrenching in my garage yesterday when I pulled Ruby and the BMW into the garage and started doing a little looooong overdue maintenance. It'll be a bit yet before anything serious goes on, but I finally have my own garage to start working on my projects.
So, I expect that means I'll probably be back in and out of here a bit more often...at least more often than 1-1/2 years for sure! Life is still busy in a ton of good ways, but now that I've finally got the means to really start enjoying my bikes again, I'm sure I'll be in and out here when I can to share.
Oh, and Radare, the site is looking great man! Soo glad to see it's still here and going!
