Busy Month Ahead

It looks like work is picking up more so than normal if that's possible, as I will have to balance deadlines and travel over the next month. This weekend I'm off to Seattle / Tacoma for our 2010 KTM and Husaberg offroad model press launch. Thankfully, it's a short Friday to Sunday trip.

After a two weekend break I head to Indianapolis for Moto GP, the biggest road race in the U.S., and our annual dealer meeting. This year's dealer meeting is a solid three-day event from Monday to Wednesday, with the Moto GP the weekend before that I'll be attending representing KTM. The plan is to hook a ride with a Regional Sales Manager from Indy back to Minneapolis on Thursday and fly Tracy up for another weekend in MSP over Labor Day. We'll have to see if flights are affordable of course.

Then, it's a weekend break before traveling to Idaho for our Adventure Rider Rally. In case anybody is wondering, that's the bike my dad "rides". Long story, not that entertaining. I'm hoping to piggyback that trip with a short visit with my grandma and four uncles in the area. I won't have time to visit the fifth in Southern Idaho. If I can work that out, I think it's pretty fortunate I'll be able to see a lot of family over two weeks time piggybacking off work trips.

If we can't get Tracy back to MSP over Labor Day, I really want her to join me at the Rider Rally in Riggins, Idaho so she can meet some of my crazy uncles. We'll see how it all plays out here this week.

I better get back to work or my 11-hour day might end up being 12.
