Wintry activities [s]

San Diego was too cold so I flew north. Virgin is a pretty sweet airline. I played Doom all the way up, no credit card required. On the subject of video games I'm considering this one for the chilly January nights.

The North Bay is the same as I left it. It has an xr now so I took a quick tour of the empty lots near the new property. Apparently Tuesday nights are for the Petaluma poker tournament. I managed 10th out of 60-ish and payout of fifteen duckets. Jon and I grabbed Mark on the way out as he flipped quad kings.

Furnishments [s]

I furnished the media room with some proper couches. They're just one palette up at the moment, but it's great for running audio wiring.


That displaced the futon which is now furnishing the kitchen area.


And I furnished the living room with a sofa. Pretty good Vets' day deals, especially on this one.


And I furnished Jon an xr400. Much thanks to Ted for the leg work, and Christine for the bow.

And Jon furnished me a fantasy football victory.

Corral Canyon [s]

What do you buy for the spoiled little brother who gets everything? Road rash, of course. So I put together a dirt biking excursion to Corral Canyon. We rented a CRF230, TRX250, and XR400 from Califorina Motorsport. They were pretty good to rent from.

The timing and location was great:

• The weather was clear and cool.
• It wasn't too far from San Diego proper.
• There was a good variety of roads, trails, and jumps.
• It wasn't crowded at all, which was especially good considering the low-visibility corners.
  

The atv turned out to be the most popular, indeed it drifted like a champ. It did, however, have a propensity for rolling as Connie and Ray discovered. The 230 enjoyed almost as much demand and claimed the epidermi of Ty and Ted. The 400 was only mounted by bold and bucked Erik as, mid-jump, he received a fateful call from Matthew (see video).

And I think a record was set for the longest string of coherent 'that's what she said's when we loaded the vehicles back on the trailer.

Check Connie's and my photos.

Erik then Ted hit the jump.


Ray - I got both wheels off the ground.


Erik - Yeah but my phone's ringing.
