What airport smoked?
Plattsburgh Intl Airport-formerly Plattsburgh AFB in upstate ny.
Yeah we're about 20min from Canada.. No snow yet and I'll be riding til it does. It's still in the low 70s/high 60s during the day here but cold at night. Planning on moving south next fall so this SHOULD be my last snowy winter.You mean where there's nothing between you and the North Pole but a barb wire fence and two of the strands are down! Are you shoveling snow yet?

I was in The Guard, Infantry, in Iraq in 05, Russafa district down town baghdad FOB VolunteerI currently work for the State of Minnesota doing financial stuff (read: working on a computer, having meetings, and wearing a tie everyday). What keeps me sane is knowing that I won't be doing that forever. For now, it pays the bills. I'm dealing more with software design now though, and that's more exciting than just pure accounting and finance. I have a degree in finance but should have been a mechanical engineer. I like machines more than numbers.
I was in the Wisconsin National Guard for just over 6 years in the Infantry, and was in Iraq for a year in 2005. That sucked! My unit was a heavy weapons company (big machine guns) so at least that was fun.
I was fixing and selling motorcycle for awhile, then was offered my job back with the state and I took it since the economy sucks and it's a steady paycheck. I have a small side business making wiring harness for the Yamaha Zuma scooter. Between that, my day job, and this site, I keep pretty busy. Not much time to ride or work on bikes anymoreI think I need to quit my day job
