quick trip to safford last night to check out a large parcel of land soon to be "graham view estates" barf. rosalee and i are designing the common areas of the development. it is next to a mormon church, so i saw what they had, and will probably use similar plants b/c everyone there is mormon and they will feel right at home. well, it was a nice trip. i rode the yellow ninja today. honestly, it was scary. it was only my 3rd time riding and i kept the traffic interaction to a minimum, but i will definitely need some hours in a parking lot before i hop on speedway. i will probably get it wednesday. i have to ride a few more to get a good feel for the bike, and to get the price down. the ducati dealer has the yellow ninja and they are selling it right along w/ all the other ninjas in town, only they have tax and title. adds a couple hundred. so i let him know i'm looking around and i look around. then he will knock the price down and i will buy it from him. he knows i want it. i come to the shop twice a week to make sure we stay friends. the ninja i'm looking at tomorrow is blue with silver flames. kind of barfy. whatever. yellow is more visible. i'll put a picture up, the pic has flames, mine will not. i thought they might be cool in a funny gayish rainbow sticker way. over it.
