Bear River

What a great week of camping so far!  This is the “old cabin” that we all used as a common eating place and food storage.  We spent the entire trip sleeping in the tent trailer with Mike and Mary (that mattress seems to be much more comfortable than my Thermarest as of late). The rest …

The Week of Camping

Went up to Bear River camping for most of the week but first we stopped in Ferndale to walk around and sightsee, and have a beer.  Ferndale has a lot of Victorian style homes and a nice little downtown strip with shops and restaurants.  Its about 45 minutes to trek in to Bear River from …

Long Way Round

Picked up this book the other day – its got a corresponding BBC TV series that has 10 episodes (i think).  This has been an excellent book so far, i’m about 20% through – and I can’t stop reading it!  I have to save some for this weekend though, since we’ll be camping. I would …

SLO Riders Bike Night

Tonight was the same as any night… sort of – I went on a ride with the SLO Riders Motorcycle Group (not sure its really a “club”).  It was a ton of fun.  They’re not picky about who goes on the rides (hence me being able to go) and they’re really safe and even have …

Remember when…

Do you guys remember when gas was $0.35 a gallon?  What the heck happened there?  Its funny because you get used to X price for gas… then it shoots up, say from $4 to $5.  You’re pissed!  What happened to $4 gas?  Then the price drops down to $4.69, and all you really think is …

Zack and Andrea are now married!

  This is Zack.  He got married right after this picture.  Jen and I had the pleasure of attending (and being in, for me) Zack and Andrea’s wedding this past weekend.  It was superb.  Hawaiian themed, everything was wonderful and it was awesome seeing all of our buddies from college.   The morning started with everyone …

An interesting end to the Memorial Day Weekend

So the weekend was pretty nice until the end…  Gene came down from Sacramento on Friday to visit and see the house, my parents came down as well on Saturday.  We went wine tasting, out to Hofbrau in Morro Bay, etc.  And then as the weekend was winding down, there was a little kitchen accident. …

Wildflower Triathlons 2008

  Just got back from Wildflower – it was a busy, but fun weekend!  Since last year, i’ve been shooting pics for Tri-California Events, Inc. (the company that puts on the event) and its a ton of fun.  And I get a Media pass!  It definitely helps having worked on the Wildflower Committee for so …

Happy Birday Du!

Du had a birthday… and the birthday dinner was superb.  We went down to have sushi in Nipomo and the restaurant is awesome!  And we got very, very drunk.

Paso Robles Balloon Festival…

More of a Balloon Gathering than Festival, there weren’t all THAT many balloons out.. but it was still cool to go and see.  Maybe next year there will be more.   We rolled out of bed at 6am-ish and walked over to the River Oaks ampitheater area (a nice 5 minute walk for us) and some …
