Tomorrow we leave for the Shuswaps. Yet another welcome break. The past couple of weeks at work have been rather tumultuous. My workload and responsibilities have increased substantially and I need to sit down with the Powers that Be and figure stuff out. I think that it would be best to do this after my week away and things have somewhat settled.

Other than that, life is pretty good. Joel and Abby are still growing up too fast. Abby was a flowergirl and I was the best man in Dan and Christina's wedding which went really well. I'll get some pictures up eventually.

Come back in a week or two and look for a post holiday update.

I'm leaving in the next couple of minutes and packing up for a weekend in BC with Dan and the rest of his groomsmen. The plan is to find a place to camp. That's it so far. We'll plan it as we go.

I am in dire need of a break, so this is trip is at just the right time. On Monday I will be submitting the final NEMSIS files for certification that I have been working on for the past couple of months.

I will see you all later.

Dan came over to help with my Triumph diagnosis this weekend and I think we figured it out that it might be the regulator. Some more testing may be done, or I'll just order a replacement. They're only about $50 USD so that's not as crazy expensive as I thought it might be

I decided that I'll put the bike back together and ride it until I get it fixed. I can't just let it sit there. As long as I charge the battery in between short rides it should be ok.

I am a bit disappointed in the Triumph. It turns out that it isn't charging and it's fouling plugs very quickly. Tonight I hope to finally have time to take a look at the charging issue. I didn't want to have to do any work on the bike - just ride. At least not have to do anything in order for it to be road worthy. I guess that is always a risk when buying used, especially 36 years used.

Wish me luck.
