On Friday, I brought my rear rim from my Kawasaki in and had a brand new Pirelli Dragon Corsa III rear tire installed. The III is for the three different compounds of rubber. The center is a harder compound than the edges, so I should get longer mileage, and still have really sticky edges when I'm leaned over. The weather has definately gotten better, and it's sunny more often, but still very cool. Most days don't get any higher than 70°F. It's like eternal Spring. I love it!
The hedges in our backyard have been looking a bit "bushy", so on Saturday I busted out the hedge trimmer. I had momentary grand visions of Edward Scissorhands, but anyone that has groomed hedges knows that they take years of grooming to fill out to a specific shape. I just eyeballed as straight of an edge on the top and sides as I could. Good enough for rental property. My forearms took a bit of a beating, and look like I was playing rough with an angry kitten.
We unpacked some more boxes, and are getting pretty close to being done. The pile of broken down cardboard boxes is over half way to the ceiling in our Dining Room. Dena's couch and chair that she had recovered for the reading room should be delivered this week, and the TV console and end tables for the living room should come in also. Funny thing is that we don't have a TV yet, which is another interesting topic, as I've just started to become aware that analog TV will be going away over the next 5 years. This is happening globally, as all the countries are switching to digital TV. So, if we buy a TV, we need to make sure that the digital signal works both in the UK and US, and the power cord can be plugged in both the UK and US.
The best news came just a couple of hours ago. Our Salesman, Chris at BMW called, and said we can pick up our car on Wednesday! I'm so excited!!!
