The house has a guest house in the back, that would be my own personal bachelor pad, with side entry direct from the garage. The main house has a lot of awesome features like tall cellings and doors everywhere(including the guest house), an actual room sized safe, prewired for a network camera system, all the entertainment systems are prewired, a bathtub that fills from the celing, etc. And it's going to have a firepit and fountain in the back yard that is already setup through the gas and water system through the slab. The guest house has a **** 10-ft tall shower setup to be a steam shower. It's small, which I think is awesome because it is easy maintenance, and the living room is the perfect size to fit a 120" projection screen, and an awesome canvas to dip into home automation. It's going to be awesome. Pic related, pic of the guest house before they put tile in. They are still about thirty days out on everything, starting to button it up. The builder is not one of those companies that just puts up a bunch of houses, he does a few houses here or there and runs another oil related company; he was originally building the house for himself from what we've talked to him.
Wow, awesome!
Ordered a helmet.

I looked at the carbon fiber simpson helmets, tried several on at their HQ. Can't justify the prices they charge for them, though.

Eh. Not a fan of the Simpson helmets. They're big, bulky, and old when you can get the new, sleek, and modern styles from other makers. To me they seem to be the NASCAR of the helmet world.

I went with a Simpson skull helmet. It's lightweight, comfortable and certified. It does the job.

Good enough for the Stig. Good enough for me.

Actually I don't own a helmet. They're for pussies.

I never ride with a helmet. I only wiped out once and didn't feel a thing.

Why scare em off?? Bait em up, and wait concealed with a rifle, or shotgun if you're feeling froggy.
