Camping along the coast-

So Kelly and I just got back from camping up along the Northern California coast. We stayed in Russian Gulch State Park near Medocino, CA. Gorgeous! The weather was mild and the scenery was spectacular. We try to make it up there once a year around this time. The camp grounds are usually pretty empty and quiet. We went with my In-laws (whom I get along great with), and then Kelly's sister and her boyfriend met us there, and also Ti and Hein (more friends) met us up there. We were there from Wed. - Monday.

Kelly posted some pics up on her flickr account, you can check them out here:

We spent a day at Glass Beach and there are a couple pics of it in there. Glass Beach was actually a city dump back in the 1920's. They would dump their trash, burn it, then push it over the cliff into the ocean. Well, it became apparent somewhere along the way that doing that wasn't cool. So now years later, the ocean has tumbled all of that broken glass into pebbles and burnished pieces. The entire beach is covered in little glass pebbles. It's pretty amazing. So the girls (Kelly, Ti and Kathy - wife, friend, mother in law respectively) are all art nuts and went crazy over it. This was Ti's first time to glass beach so she went overboard. The bags of stuff that was collected is crazy! And after 3 hours there, how can you not walk away with a ton of prizes.



I will try to get some more pics up as I get them from other people. But all in all, it was a great time and we had a blast!

Rollin'

What the hell is up with people and their massive rims?  It seems to me that the asthetics of the vehicle are being sacrificed simply for rim size.  I am constantly seeing mid 70's hoopties (is that even a word anymore) that have like 24" rims and sit higher than the Jeep Wrangler driving next to them.  Seriously, they look four wheel drive.  I keep picturing those old AMC Eagles that were all wheel drive and sat as high as a Bronco.  I guess Rim size is the new compensation for lack of penis length...

Hung like a mosquito:

Lucky Number Sleven

So here is my impromptu movie review:  Good time fun, great cast, good twists and all around good movie.  It involves some mob bosses, assasins and one very unlucky guy.  Lucy Liu is in there as well, and since she is hot - I say it's worth the NetFlix.  I know I'm way late on this, but it just came out not to long ago on Netflix, so I picked it up.  Add it to your que and enjoy!!

Bored on a Saturday at work

I really don't like working Saturdays right now.  It kind of sucks.  But..... once snowboarding season is in swing I will love working Saturdays because that means I get a day off during the week.  And boarding during the week is much better than on the weekends.  It's not even October yet and I'm already getting amped to be on the mountain.

For those of you who have never boarded or skiied in California, you are missing out.  I highly recommend making it a week trip if you can.  There are about 10 resorts all within an hour of each other all bordering Lake Tahoe.  I love being on top of a mountain, looking out over the Lake, breathing in the crisp clean air.  There is something so.... euphoric about it.  I am destined to just move to a ski town and live there.  Who needs a "good job" anyways.  It's overrated.

Here are just a few views of some of the resorts I have boarded.  I can't wait!!!
