Just a short update - Jim turned the big 4-0 on January 14th. He got a brand new 2007 Yamaha FZ6 to celebrate the big day. He traded in his FJR at Desert Valley Motorsports, who have been great to work with.

For Christmas, my sister gave us a cat. We named him Buddy. Buddy rules the roost and thinks he is a dog. He tries to (pretend) bury his food and occasionally begs when we eat. He is turning into the king and we are his loyal subjects.
