UFC 66 and Carlmont And Foothill College

UFC 66 Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz
Cost me 40 bucks. Glad I did it but I won't be doing it again. One time thing. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Plus Liddell didn't knock or choke out Tito. Beat him up good but not an obvious win.

Took my Turner to Carlmont on Saturday. Pushed to the top and rode for a short while then was bored so I headed down and wham I am on the ground. Not sure what caused me to slide out but I was glad to be wearing my THE knee pads. As I got to the middle Chris and Dustin were pushing up. Awesome. We rode for awhile in the middle and then went up and rode more up top then back in the middle and bottom again. It was a lot of fun. I finally did that little drop into berm in the middle. That was cool to do because I have always wanted to do it. It was really easy on the Turner. I also rode down that one steep section twice. I would have done it some more but Chris and Dustin were leaving so I left also. Really good day of riding. Oh yeah it was such a beautiful day, sunny but not hot.

Foothill College- Went there with Elizabeth. The weather was pretty crappy compared to yesterdays but it actually was just overcast. Rode down different stairs. I had to go pretty fast down them because of the spacing. We saw a bobcat which was cool and I put a board on a log and we went off that a few times and down this short fast section. It was pretty cool. I also "drove" her 4 runner in the parking lot. I stalled it a few times but feel like I did okay.

I am being edited!

Why write if it might get deleted?

My right thigh hurts. I did some exercises at the apartment gym for a little and then some dude came in so I left and walked over to the Santa Clara City library. Nice library. I got some old school 1991 paris roubaix and tour de france videos and found a dvd I really want to see, road to paris. I now have a simon kitty on my lap.

I jogged back from the library and did some squats, pushups, dips, bicep curls and some crunches. It was pretty tough.

I went to the bank, credit union, aaa, dolphin pet village, rei and i guess thatis all. It was super windy earlier so I didn't do any biking. I had a good day and for some reason was just happy.

Calabazas and ipod

Forgot to write that the city has finally started to build Calabazas. Not sure what they have done, probably just plowed the jumps that are there.

I got some songs onto my ipod so one step closer.

Turner and ipod-one is fun the other a pain

Elizabeth and I went to Carlmont yesterday with only a few whimpers from her. I hadn't ridden my Turner DHR since beginning of August at Kirkwood. I was going to ride it last time we went to Carlmont but the swingarm pivot was loose and to tighten it you have to take off the crankarm and chainguide. I finally got around to it and tightened the bolt and also drilled/filed out a notch that enables me to reach the bolt without taking off the crankarm and chainguide. Anyway we get to Carlmont and the ground is wetter than I expected. Actually now that i think about it only two spots that had puddles but of course one of them was before rocky and bullwinkle. It was more like 3-4 wet mud spots in a row. Not to bad but it would splatter up into my face and onto me. We went to the top and rode up there. There was a puddle in front of Elizabeths jump that she does though. She caught a little bit of air anyways though. I got used to the Turner really quick and was able to jump the first jump then go back up and do two and then go back up and do three. I took a look at the drop where i ate shit a long time ago on my Cheeta. I think I will do it I just need Isaac or Taylor or somebody there to go down it first. I didn't do anything cool but I had fun nonetheless. elizabeth took a long look at some short section and finally went down it. At least she went down it 4 or 5 times. She also went down some long straight section at the bottom that had some 8'' drop that she said ''oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck'' on. She went straight down the section at the very end to the gate without stopping so that was cool.

Then we get home and later on I try and get my ipod to work and get some songs onto it. What a pain in the ass this is. I tried the other night with even lesser success. I ended up just deleting all my songs last night and trying to start over. Yeah that didn't work. So now i have an ipod that has zero songs on it. At least I got the computer to recognize that it has an ipod in it. What a pain. I thought it would be way more easier.

I think I wrote a lot. I have time to write for once since I am using Elizabeths computer and not the one at work during my break.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I finished ERT training today. Good class, worth taking. Kind of stressful taking the class but it was nice and the people in the class were all nice and friendly. Learned (sort of) CPR and building evacuation and blood borne pathogens which is spooky. i got a hard hat and a vest.

Calabazas- first days of the new Calabazas being built just started. Hoping for the best but who knows how it will turn out. I rode it a little bit last week which was fun. I could only jump the first two in the pack but had fun.

It has been really cold the past couple of days. Super cold at night. Wake up to ice covering my windshield and windows. Truck still barely going.

Guess that is all. Simpsons are on. Time for a kiss... i blew it.
