I'm new enough to the "shop managers get demo bikes" game that I'm still fairly worked up over the arrival of my new ride. I'm sure that in a few years I'll be a grouchy old bastard like Mark (or, god forbid, Jay), but for now it's pretty cool.
So I've been tracking the progress of this machine for the last week (by the way, from the time it was ordered to the time it was shipped was a mere five days. damn!), including the shipping process. Janesville, Wisc., to Oak something, Wisc., to Davenport, Iowa, to Des Moines and finally to Omaha late yesterday afternoon.
Today's status update came at 4:45 a.m. — out for delivery. Nice.
My first status update of the day came shortly thereafter. Jack has been kind of sketchy with sleep lately. He's trying to push boundaries and stay up later (he just gets out of bed and stands at his door), and he's been waking up at random times.
Like today, for example: 3:55. He had to pee, which is better than waking up to a wet little boy. The problem with that, however, is that he thought it was time to get up. He was wide awake, jabbering away as I tried to calm him down and get him back into bed.
He was up again at 4:15. And then 4:35. And then 5. Finally, I just got out of bed.
Out for delivery? I might be out on the couch by 10.

Jay's not grouchy. You better not be building your bike on company time
Jay's not grouchy, but I like to try to wind him up. (Hi, Jay!)
I'm off today, so the time I'm wasting will be merely my own.
