The weather has finally started to break and the last few days have been really nice. I have really been itching to get my motorcycle out and start riding again, so that’s what I did today. I went over to Al’s this morning and got the motorcycle all situated. At the end of last season we had moved the handlebars so today we had to compensate and adjust all my forward controls. In addition we also adjusted the alignment on my headlight, as I felt it was aiming to low, I will need to check this out by heading out one evening for a ride and seeing if the alignment is any better. Today’s ride, however, was pretty short as I needed to take the bike into the shop. After I put the bike away at the end of last season I received a recall on the ECM module. Basically it could cause the bike to stall out during deceleration, potentially causing an accident. I also received a recall for the fuel line leading to the fuel injector, a small fastener could be defective. In addition to the two recalls, while driving to the shop I realized my speedometer isn’t working either. *sigh* So now the bike is at the show and will have to have, at the very least, the ECM module replaced, the fuel line inspected, and possibly the speedometer replaced. I guess it will be at least a week before I get to ride again. Oh well, it was still great to be back riding again! The rest of the season should be a blast.

Strep Update
The doctor’s office called and confirmed that the over night culture also came back negative, so Kylie definitely does not have strep. Even though this was the general consensus yesterday, it is still nice to have an even more definitive answer.
Possibly Strep?
We took Kylie to the Doctor today, as she has had a cough for the past couple of days, and yesterday developed a low grade fever. Normal, that would not necessarily bother us, but she did not want to let Mommy take her temperature in either ear, and said that it hurt. This is what made us decide to take in to see the doctor, as she is developing a track record for ear infections. Her ears checked out and everything looked fine, however the doctor did say that it look like she may have a slight case of strep. The nurse took a culture and Kylie handled it very well, opening her mouth wide and sticking out her tongue, she didn’t even flinch when the nurse took the swab of her throat. They performed a rapid culture test at the office, which only took about five minutes and that came back negative. They are going to do an over night culture just to make sure, and will confirm the results tomorrow. So as of now, Kylie has a clean bill of health and no explanation as to why she was not feeling well.
