I’ve had an Olive/Wasabi Small Cafe Bag from Tom Bihn for almost 8 years. I love this bag – it’s the perfect size, it looks cool, and it’s very clean-lined.
One of the buckles broke yesterday. I emailed customer service about 15 minutes ago and have already gotten a response – they offered to fix it for free. But I decided to order a new one, because my old one is getting a bit frayed (and I can try a new color). This is a company and a product I highly recommend.
This is great.
So a few weeks ago my husband and I went to check out the last scooter in Northern Colorado, apparently. I’d been thinking about getting one since I started Red Kite about three years ago.
This year, because of the gas issue, there are so many scooters in town that I see 4-5 every time I go out now. A huge amount of scooters everywhere…
I looked around and did some research and found one 2007 Yamaha Vino 125 still in the box near Fort Collins. We went to see it (my husband’s a long-time motorcyclist, so he actually did the test drive). And he said it was a kick in the pants. So we got it, and are lucky to have it since everyone in the region is sold out until the 2009′s come in in October.
I signed up for the motorcycle safety class here in town – and they were booked solid un
til the end of July. But I lucked out and got in last week on a cancellation, passed the class and got my license on Monday.
So here it is. It’s really cute. And it out-accelerates most cars, which I like a lot. I’ve been riding all over town since Tuesday and it truly is a kick in the pants, more fun than I thought it would be.
And the perfect thing for the 4-5 meetings I wind up going to every week.
It’s a business vehicle. Yeah – that’s it. Exactly. Strictly business <—-smirking.
It’s been extremely busy for Red Kite Creative lately and personally too. We (my SEO partner and I) are working on several projects together and have recently had a couple of odd clients. I can’t really say much about them, except good riddance.
My business is at the point that I can pick and choose who I work for, which is great. Getting rid of troublemakers is both a huge relief and a timesaver – why spend hours grinding away for a client that has questionable – well, everything - when you could spend your time doing good work for good clients who appreciate you and pay you for the privilege of your expertise? I’m glad I don’t have to put up with certain things anymore unless I choose to.
