The Pashnit BBQ

Saturday I got up early to ride with Cuzn Frank, his daughter Kim and her husband, Jerry. Met them in Angels Camp for breakfast. This is what I happened to see along the way, water buffalo, camels, old trucks and tractors. Cuzn Frank bought breakfast for all, he worked extra hard last weekend and made lots and lots and lots of extra money, yea Frank!!! On the way up Cuzn Frank asked me to check his rear tire, I forgot until we got up there, I checked, looks okay to me. Met a bunch of nice folks at the BBQ Pashnit put on, we left around 3:30pm and all went our seperate ways. I ended up riding for the last 20 miles or so in the rain just as darkness prevailed. Damned it sure makes you appreciate the dry weather.

Lots going on

There is a lot going on right now with us and our friends and relatives. In Mexico, Gary and Jon are right in the middle of "La Carrera Panamericana" I posted pics of them and their car earlier, but now the carnage has started, let's hope Team CBR can keep it clean, "Lucky" doesn't need any dents or scratches.

Went riding yesterday with Cuzn Frank, his daughter Kim (my neice), and her husband Jerry. Rode to Pashnit's BBQ, long ride for 1 day but we all had a good time. This was at breakfast at Rodz in Angels Camp. Look what I say on the way up to meet them that's water buffalo, camels, old trucks and tractors, only in Kalifornicatia!!! Cuzn Frank wanted me to check his rear tire, looks go to me, what do you think??? After this long day of riding I ended up riding in the rain the last 20 miles or so and the last 5 miles it was a real downpour. Thankfully the Goldwing moves most of the water around the rider and I was hardly wet at all. Sure makes you appreciate the sunny days though.

Giving 100%

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about
those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to
those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving
103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%



And


K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the
Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Meeting New Friends

Yesterday I took a chance and rode to Mt View to meet a guy who is an internet friend. Gary is building a car to race in La Carrera Panamericana. Gary and Jon are going to be the driver and navigator and the car, named "Lucky" looks like this. And this was also parked in Gary's lot. I didn't ask the story behind this but these little Cobra's are my wish and dream car, super impractical but who cares. I had some spare time so I tooled around and found a house that is very similar to the one I lived in in Mt. View my junior year of high school, as a matter of fact it may be the exact same house, I'll have to check with Mom. Gary has a blog at http://lacarrera2007.blogspot.com/ go check it out. That's Gary on the left, Jon on the right, me in the middle, Lucky behind us. Man I wish I could go!!!

The Big Fresno Fair

Karan, Jennifer, Erica and I all went to Fresno's County Fair. We ate a bunch of fried food, walked around, checked out the animals, the gallery, and the mid-way. Jennifer walked up to the very first game, the basketball toss, and won a stuffed animal, fairly large one at that, way to go JJ!!! Bet those folks couldn't believe their eyes when an 8 month pregnant women whooped em at their goofy game.
