New Harley and a kick up the ass

Well as the title states, I bought myself a Harley a little while back. Is it a mid-life crisis I don't think so I have always had bikes since I was 15, just had some breaks in between. So I have got myself a 1991 Sportster 1200 XLH. At first I thought what have I done as it felt really agricultural but it grows on you really quickly and I have already found myself on Ebay looking for bits. The biggest issue is will I be able to take it to Australia with me? I hope so.


As for the kick up the ass ...... well I went in hospital for a minor op, and come out with a DVT (blood clot) this has really made me think about life a bit more its about enjoying it not worrying about what may or may not happen. I will be on medication for nearly six months so they tell me and I'm not allowed to drink ???? I have been off work and I am now back but I did have the really good weeks so I sat in the garden and soaked up the warmth of the sun dreaming about when it wont just be a couple week of the year. The DVT has just made me more determined to do what I want in life and Australia has to be done sooner rather that later mid next year if all goes to plan.

The house is nearly ready to go onto the market and we had it valued and its good more than we paid and with all the work that we have done it should cover the cost of our first Australia adventure.

I sold my website this week, it was a local community one www.thisisSaltash.co.uk so that is another piece of the jig-saw put into place. I have bought a new domain though www.theEmonds.com this will be for messing around with web ideas and I think I just might move this blog over there and join it up with other things that I do online, like my photography.

Life has a funny way of going in patterns and since the DVT things are just getting better. Now come on who wants to employ me in Perth? I'm a great Sys Administrator / Network Manager with over 12 years experience with MCP MCSA MCSE MCTS MCITP EA and other stuff.
