Dave and Samantha’s Engagement Party

Dave and Samantha had their engagement party at Gianni’s Pizza on Lighthouse in Monterey – I love their pizza.  Its just soo tasty!  The party was a ton of fun: food, drinks, and a bunch of people having a good time – what more could you ask for?  And in addition to THAT, Dave wet …

Upgrading the Hawk gas tank

Rode the 150 miles up to San Jose this morning and found out that my stock tank does about 105 miles at approximately fast speeds before having to switch to reserve.  Found this out when the engine died just south of Salinas…  Warren helped me with the disassembly of the bike, and its currently in …

  The Google Chrome Beta released today, its an open source browser written by Google that has a lot of cool features, like Dynamic Tabs, Crash Control, Safe Browsing, etc.  you can learn more here (streaming videos) or read the cartoon version explaining the new features. One of the most interesting features that I see …

Hwy 1 and Salt Point State Park

We took off just before noon and headed away from Bear River and over to Hwy 1 and the coast.  Windy roads are fun and all, but not for five hours!  Well… unless you’re on a motorcycle.  We stayed in Salt Point State Park at the Woodside Campground, which was super clean and really nice …

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 …
