Calistoga and back

Ok I've been riding in Napa for years. Every time I ride I see this guy, he looks the same with the exception of a few more doohickys and flags hanging from his bike. I wonder if I'll see him in the wind tunnel in Dec....

Fall on Hwy 1

After a two week blitz of selling mucho vino, I decided to take a mental health break and ride until I didn't want to ride anymore.
This weekend was one of riding, just riding, taking pictures and having no bad ideas, stress or worries. Just ride, around each corner there was another reason to take a picture, stop, or eat a cookie.
I did a ride with a really nice group of folks, some familiar, some new to me. We rode from Carmel to King city and back again along the coast on the way down for 85 miles then 20 inland. Topped off for 110 miles for the Saturday and 75 on Sunday..bliss. The ocean was a turquoise blue, seals were swimming and sea lions barking.
Man I thought about east vs. west. I used to really like this time of year back east with the leaves and all, but there is no way to compare this to New England.

King kong attacks canadian in half moon bay

Good thing that canadian brings his frame pump. It was good enough to hold off the angry beast for a minute while the women rode to the bakery leaving the little man to fend for himself.

Ah well, great mental health day.

Back to reality

I can't wait to fire up all the badness that just got installed this week. I've been cooking in the garage, backyard etc. Its worth the wait, but I'm getting hungry.

Flush once...easy on the eyes

For all of you that I hurt with that last blog...here is something a little easier on the eyes.

Thanks for viewing and all your comments:)

2008 calendar pic...warning! Do chicks really look at the goggles?

So Tracey and I did a bunch o priming and painting this weekend in the soon to be kitchen. Then for a little comic relief we took some pics for the family 2008 calendar. Seems like there have been a few posts as of late with reference to speedo's, so we busted out my suit and painted all day:)

Where is the 6 pack???? F-it, give me a burger and fries:)


Then after feeling a bit left out from the chicks measuring contest, we had a tape measure close by and did a quick measure. These get n away sticks work for me, but they aren't pretty.

Insert these here...dream kitchen #1

We have more money on our back porch then in our bank accounts...but this is pretty much a dream kitchen. We just got all this stuff and waiting to put in in next week. Yippeee!
