We went out to San V yesterday for a morning sesh, and had a pretty good time.
got the pass for the slalom course, and had some good riding up until we headed out around 12. Ran into Buzz, Sponge, and Dennis out there, so they came over to the slalom course and drank some beers and rode for a while. Pretty crazy when we were leaving, saw a friend of ours pull up and he said they had been waiting in Line for over an hour - apparently the lake was at max cap (100 boats) all morning, and people had to leave before they let more on. Pretty crazy…I haven’t ever seen a line like that at the lake. Thats why Danielle’s dad always tells me its worth getting up early and going out - you have to get the good water and not wait in line!
Another week down the tubes. Finally wrapped up some big projects at work, so thats a big step in the right direction. Also, let me just say that filling my iPod up with every season of American Dad and Family Guy was a great decision on my part. Anyway…lots of current goings on:
My parents are coming down this weeked (Today). This is awesome because my mom has been feeling really good despite chemo. She is usually a bit sick the day after, but by the next week is feeling normal again. I haven’t seen them in a couple months, so it will be great to have the family here and spend some time at my aunts house. Also Danielle’s first time meeting them, so we’ll see how that goes. Kind of weird to have been dating her for half a year almost and she still hasn’t met them. I’m just used to them being in town so often, but theres been a lot going on in my family recently, so I’m just glad they will be here.
Planning another trip to the river for memorial day weekend. Thinking of leaving Friday the 23 through Monday the 26th. I just emailed the crew, hopefully Kjo will have his boat fixed by then, and the guys from DBG can make it, so we can have an awesome time out there. I think im going regardless.
Some party out at San Vicente tonight thrown by the guys from wakesports, but I don’t know if I’m going to make it. The DBG crew is going, but I think I’d rather spend some time with my parents.
Anyway, thats about it right now.
Had another awesome weekend, filled with a ton of wakeboarding and sun. 5 days of work ended last week with happy hour @ Fred’s in Old Town with the gf and her family, a shot of cuervo and a margarita, followed by some hot tub and booze action at La Mirage. Passed out for a couple hours of sleep to get up at 5:30am and head out to San Vicente for some wakeboarding. Danielle’s mom turned out to be an excellent coach, giving me some really helpful tips to step up my skills. Although now I find I have so much to remember while riding, I just have to keep practicing to get all these things to be second nature.
Took care of a bunch of stuff saturday afternoon - noticed another vibration in the brakes on the F150, pulled off the wheel to find that another bolt on the driver side caliper had come off! What is going on! Put loc-tite on all the caliper bolts on both sides, so hopefully this is the end of brake problems.
Sunday went out to San V again with the guys from DBG Concepts. Did some wake surfing and wakeboarding. (reminds me - I still need to fix the gallery on their website! Shit). Check out the pics up top for some of the action. It was nice weather in the morning, but the wind picked up and blew clouds in as it got later, so when we left around 7 it was pretty dark and super cold.
Also on Saturday, went around to some local car dealers to check out a new ride. I’m thinking of getting a new car, and am really liking the 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500’s. It was crazy walking around dealerships - they are so desperate to sell cars right now they will offer you just about anything. Evan and I got mobbed by salesmen everywhere we went, trying to get us to buy right then and there. I guess with the economy going to shit, no one is buying anything at all. One salesmen at Mossy Ford in PB was 29, with a finance degree from USC, can’t find a job and is selling cars, and about to get fired from that because no one is buying anything! I will keep posting about my car search. It is dependent on me selling my truck, maybe my motorcycle as well. I’m not sure about how much of a payment I want to get myself into either, so I will just have to see. Dunno if I’ll end up with the Shelby, but it will probably be a mustang GT.
Anyway, Have to head over to Solutions 4 College offices to wrap up this website project that we have been working on for the past month, and pick up the final payment. Lets just say it will be good to have this project completed. I would like to get the focus back on apache.com, and have some time to play GTA. See ya!
