Dinner at Java Sushi

Had a wonderful dinner at Java Sushi with Porters and the Rome crew. It was a great crew Sully the Rome sales manager was in town and a lot of our employees know him from the East Coast snowboard scene, so it was a reunion of sorts. While we were eating UFC bad ass Nate Diaz came in and I had to mark out. Danielle was jealous she loves UFC. Nate is ripping through the 155lbs weight class and was winner of the Ultimate Fighter.

Strolling Down The River

This weekend flew by, as usual we had softball Friday night with another loss this team sucks. Saturday Danielle had class all day, so I went to work and got a lot done, with lack of emails and phone calls coming in. Sunday we had a lazy morning around the house, then down to the river to do a little walking outside. When you are in any down town area you always see lots of interesting people which make great people watching.

Porters and DC party

Last night at 50/50 brewery in Truckee Porters and DC did a movie premier for the Mack Dawg Double Decade. It was a great movie Jussi's part was the best, we had a few of the stars in the House Riders Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom, Aaron Biittner, and Lauri Heiskari the crowd was really excited to see the movie there were about 500 in attendance a 50/50 record. Thanks for evreyone envolved inmaking this a big succses go team.

The win streak halted

Danielle's Wednesday night softball team was 9-0 coming into tonight. After the pitcher walked in nine runs in the first inning the team was pissed and could never pull it back together. The team they lost to is now in 1st since they have both only lost one game, to each other and the other team won by more runs which gives them the edge. One more week left, don't think it will make a difference since the other team is playing the last place team next week.

Getting Chompers Cleaned

This morning I got the full cleaning and check up. Usually I love getting my teeth cleaned but this morning I think the lady cleaning my teeth might have been blind, she keep hooking and scraping my gum's, it was the worst cleaning I ever had. She said my teeth look great but they bleed more than normal, I wanted to say no crap you sliced my gum's. Needles to say I requested a new hygienist next time.

Old Surf Spots

After the show I decided to swing by a few surf breaks that I spent a lot of my teenage years at. For as much time as I spent at Pleasure Point and The Hook you think I would be a good surfer, not sure what happened? It brought back a lot of great memories. As I head over Highway 17 to head home, I meet my buddy Danny who was always with me in Santa Cruz when we were younger. It was nice catching up, after a quick dinner I head back up the hill and was home before nine.

Santa Cruz

Before heading to the trade show I stopped by one of the local surf spots Steamers Lane, the waves were non existent at all other places but they had some nice shoulder high waves. I only had about 15 minutes so I snapped a few pics then off to work. Hopefully the marine layer burns it's chilly outside.

Down in the Bay

I am down in the Bay area to go to the Santa Cruz trade Show for work and I love my sister so I decided to come down early and stay at our dads house. I went down a day early and saw my Great Grandma Margret and Brad for a few hours then off to my Grandpa Don and Grandma Thelma's. After sitting in a hour of traffic I got to my dads for a great dinner made by Steph. Here is a cute pic of My sister and her boyfriend Alex. Off to Santa Cruz tomorrow then straight home.

Riding Bikes & Teaching Scuba

This weekend flew by we played Softball Friday night, Danielle played two games and won both, that always makes it more fun. Saturday we rode our Mountain Bikes for a few hours and had Dinner at some friends Janine and Justin's. Sunday I was at the lake teaching scuba for most the day. Off to Santa Cruz for a few days of work. I am going to see some family in the bay in between. I'll try and take some pics.

UFC 88

Last night we watched UFC at Bullys with Mike and Shavon and wow what an exciting night. The main event was Liddell and Evans and the fight was a little slow to start but the last minute of the first round was action packed, Evans punches so fast he can hit you 4 times before you know it. In the second round Evans landed a huge right that knocked Liddell out in one punch. Bullys went crazy it was a 50/50 split on the fans which always makes for a fun night. Can't wait untill the next fight.

Riding on the trail

We took our bikes out to Dog Valley and head up to Stampede Reservoir. Danielle was jealous that I took my bike out so we rode 25 miles of trails from Verdi to Truckee. There was a cow roaming the road that had broke free from his grazing area. Danielle wanted to try and get him back in but he didn't want anything to do with it, we chased him for a minute and gave up. She thought he wanted to get back with his friends, but I am sure he could of got back in the way he got put.

Back on the Hog!

It's pretty sad but this is the first time I have rode my motorcycle all year. I am going to try and ride it for the rest of the month before it gets to cold.

Reno Balloon Races

This morning when I got out the shower, I glanced out the window and there was a hot air balloon in the back yard. This weekend is the annual hot air balloon races at Rancho San Rafael park and they travel in whatever direction the wind takes them. It's cool to see a balloon land in your neighborhood. If you have time check it out this weekend but get there early, there usually done by ten.

Columbia Helicopter

This afternoon as I was sitting at my desk and the office began to shake. I ran outside to see this huge 2 rotor helicopter the Columbia taking off, it's crazy to see this huge mass just floating in the air.

I got through all the tent sales at work and they were very successful so hopefully I will have some free time to go play, and do some post since I have been lagging lately.
