Yesterday didn’t go at all according to my grand scheme. I was not able to stay off the computer as much as I’d hoped — I had a work project to complete. I did refrain from reading blogs, and only checked email for ones regarding the project. Duck worked from home which always throws my schedule off, and he convinced me (although it wasn’t that hard) to not clean house and ride our motorcycles to lunch.
When we rode to lunch, it was the first time I’ve gotten my bike on a major highway. I think the fastest I got the bike up to yesterday was about 63 MPH. And that was fast! Without a windshield, the wind was coming at me from all angles. I was afraid of one big gust knocking me over, but I survived! The vibration in the bike was a little much at that speed — something that Sportsters are known for I think. I was tired even after a short ride and that’s just not how it should be.
I need to give Duck a big THANK YOU! for riding my bike to put it in the shop. I think he had it up to about 70 MPH and had a much longer distance to ride it! My bike is too small for him and not comfortable at all. He takes such great care of me 
I played in my last softball game of the Spring League last night. One of my players broke her foot attempting to slide into home. Please keep Nikki in your prayers. She’s in a lot of pain and can’t swallow pills. I hope they give her some strong liquid pain medicine! Other than that, we lost by at least 11 runs that I know of. The team we played shouldn’t really be in a church league, but since Duck warns me to watch what I say on here, I’ll leave it at that.
The best part of yesterday was when Duck paid me a compliment. He said I’m doing really well on my bike and looking more comfortable. I still have to learn a lot — how to park and I can’t back the bike up in our driveway to go out by myself. But that’s ok — I’m headed to the gym. Maybe if I get some bigger muscles, I’ll be able to roll my bike over the gravel to get it out. For now, Duck’s relieved I can’t go anywhere on my bike without him

I have the same problem with my computer…I do spend waaay too much time on it, and way too little praying, reading the Bible, etc. It’s a hard habit to break. I am so glad I have found so many wonderful Christian bloggers though, it helps me feel like I am in a community.
As for motorcycles, they scare me so much, you are far braver than I! I get scared when I am riding too fast on my bicycle down a hill! I’m glad you got to ride and have fun though.
