suzy

what does coffee, waking up in the morning and suzy all have in common?

I'm not sure of the answer, but I do know that suzy needs coffee if there is the slightest chance she will wake up before dinner. opposites attract they say. buy why do I wake up around 6 every morning, then wonder why she won't get up too. arrrrrrrr.

anyway, I always make sure she has her coffee every morning. I'm thinking of getting an IV and hooking it up to her when I wake up, so I don't have to get swatted at, that she's sleeping.

even if we are in Gods most beautiful valley camping, she still needs her coffee. saturday morning I woke up early, made a camp fire, made some coffee, and set the cup outside the tent for suzy. it sat there for hours. then around 10, I opened up the tent door and attempted to wake her up again, while taking a little video.

the other pics are of suzy slacklining on a cable. she did really well. some other pics too.

camping this weekend

we're going camping tonight, up to Red Rock. got at least 15 people not including suz or I that are coming. more the better, so if you want to crash a fun party, show up. the water should be gushing, so saturday we're going to hike back to some rock jumping spots, then might inner tube back down the river to camp. should be a blast. I might get some fishing in. I hear they've been stocking the river every week or so. it blue sky's and warm outside, but there is a chance for rain tomorrow. hope it doesn't rain on us. it just wouldn't be the ideal situation. oh, if anyone has some extra wood, bring it. I'm hoping the fire will last all night.

last night was awesome. we went to the surf flick, "Walking On Water" with my parents, jon, serenity, and the rest of santa barbara. it was a little too hectic knowning everyone and trying not to say hi. overwhelming would be a better word. once the movie started everyone chilled out. suz and I rode our bikes to beat the parking nightmare and breath a little fresh air. the theatre was sold out, over capacity. oh, and I won a tee shirt. the end.

Free surf movie this thurs night

Walking on Water is presenting a surf flick this thursday night. its free. Tom Curren is playing some music too. looking forward to it. suz and I are going, if anyone wants to go with us. it starts at 7. at the arlington.

summer fun

new addition to the quiver of fun. a scooter. its only 80cc, but both suz and I can get up to 35 mph on it together. this summer we're planning on using it as much as possible. to the beach, to work, to TJ's ect. heres a small clip of suzy's first lesson in how to ride it. I made her drive up and down the driveway 5 times, we called them laps. ha ha ha. she did really well, no crashes. with this movie as my witness, she wants a hog for our next bike. I'm thinking a harley cruiser. ha ha ha. we'll see if we can make that happen before either of us have a mid-life crisis.

the big 60

saturday was my dads birthday. in addition to having a birthday bash later this month, we went up to san luis to have some more birthday celebration with some of the extended family. two of my cousins have the same birthdate, so we all celebrated. here's some pics of the event. hows my grandma's fro.

green reminder

suzy's parking ticket is hanging from some fishing line at heads height. why were parking tickets ever put into society. arrrrr. wouldn't the world be a better place without them.

runner.... never

not sure if I can blame anyone, but suz and I are entered in a marathon. freakin crazy. one minute I'm suggesting it to suzy as a fun idea, then the next minute we're on the computer paying our entry fee, at the same time, suzy's heart rate has increased with excitement and is talkiing 100 miles per hour. phewwwwww. so we're running. I haven't run since high school, for PE. so this will be a hurdle to overcome. but come on, I married a runner, so I have to make it. geeeeeeee. here's a pic of my first warm up, before our first run. I almost died later that day. and the day after I woke up with two stiff legs. I now walk like I have no joints. suzy hasn't fazed a bit. grrrrrrrrr.

great hikes

saturday we went on another great hike. this time, with some other friends. it was awesome. pictures will speak from themselves.
