Took off for the annual SLO (San Louis Obispo) run. We ended up getting stuck for a long time due to one lane traffic flow. The traffic was backed up so far you couldn’t see the front of the line!
Wet and Cold…
It was another wet and cold ride this morning. I’ve been riding to work for over 4 months now. I’ve ridden in all conditions from sub-freezing 22 degrees to the stormy wet rainy weeks. So far, of all the winter conditions fog is the one I least like to ride in. Something about riding down the freeway only being able to see a few car lengths ahead and a fogged up helmet.
It will be interesting to see how the summer brings its climate offerings.
Chillin’
Totally chilled out today, did nothing. How weird is that.
Green spear time…
Bugs and I took off this morning to check out the annual asparagus festival they hold in downtown Stockton. We drove through town looking for the “biker alley” an area usually reserved for motorcycles. We didn’t find it.
So we drove around the event site and it looked pretty much the same as it has been the past few years. We continued on driving…
Something about the new location doesn’t seem right. I think I like the old location off of 8 mile road and about 1 mile from the house. The area was much more green with trees and had the outdoor festival atmosphere. The current location is right smack in downtown, though the river port adds a nice touch.
Working on the tachs…
Spent most of today assembling my tach printed circuit board. Check out the rack full of billet cases ready for production.
Here we go again…
Another blogging software change, hopefully this is the last… Just to make this entry semi-interesting I’ll include a photo of my GPS top speed value on my way to work. I guess sometimes I like to blast on the freeway, one day I’ll grow up.
Carshow at the fairgrounds…
Its April Fools day, Vince and I went to the carshow at the Stockton Fairgrounds…
New place to grub…
I’ve been taking the scoot out for lunch several times a week. Since I’m on the bike I typically go by myself. This means anywhere that looks good to eat I just park and give it a try. I found this Teriyaki place not too far from my building. It turned out it is owned by Filipinos and they serve some down home grub. I’m going to work my way down the menu, I’m at menu item 3 
One thing that deserves mentioning is that they have motorcyle only parking right out front!
Weekend at Union Square…
Even though the hotel does not have all the nice extras it does have one great qualily, location. We are walking distance to all the great shopping retailers in the aresa. Most of them are high dollar stores that we just pass and say “nice display”.
We had stayed in this hotel awhile back. They have this baby grand piano in the lobby. A kid wearing a backpack was playing classic Mozzart. It was amazing watching this kid jam along. I asked the hotel personel about him and they said he knowlonger comes around anymore. I guess he found another piano to play for free.
One thing that is tough about a lot of the San Francisco hotels is the No Smoking rules. Most of them are smoke free buildings so you’ll have to take an elevator downstairs and stand outside to burn one. Poor Bugs (me too) had to go outside.
All in all it was another great weekend in the city…
Still going…
I’m still riding the scoot everyday to work. There had been some days where it was super cold, even for me. I think the coldest yet was 23F. Even though I’m completely geared up the cold cuts in once I’m on the open highway. I can’t wait for the warmer months to come!
It seems like I’ve seen quite a bit more accidents too. These are not the little fender benders but the flipped over totally caved in roof variety. I’m sure out of all the ones I’ve seen this year someone was probably still in the car. Everyone needs to just slow down…
I’ve been working for my new company a whole month now
