The last day in Silicon Valley slowly winds it's way too conclusion. Got last minute shopping and pack fitting done so while I've got a little time before heading out to comedy show #2 in 2 nights figured I'd tap this out. Bill Burr was so goddamn funny last night my abs were cramping. He's …

10 Days and a Wakeup
5 working days and 5 pack up and check shit out days and the Silicon Valley experience shall be coming to and end. The hot springs adventure last weekend was the tops. I was the only overnight guest so had the whole place to myself after 8PM. Spent 20 of my 24 hours there either …
Bustin’ Loose!!
Howdy! I've come to find my previous tactic of waiting long periods of time to blast out rambling missives doesn't serve my writing urge very well, so I'll be posting more frequent, shorter posts about random dumb shit. This will either elicit a squeal of glee or a groan frustration, but that's on you. The …
Wrapping it up in Silicon Valley
Soon, very soon. March 10th is my release date. After a year and a half in Techville it'll be time to huck most all the shit back into Mighty Whitey and make a final trek north to Bend. For all the shit talking I could do, and have done, concerning this place and my time …
The Transition to ‘Fall’ here in the Land of No Seasons
Why, howdy! Getting back to life here in Silicon Hell post big desert blast took a bit, but things are rolling along nicely again.

Our respective rides, I have the '05 KLR 650 farkled to the goddamn …

Map Nerd Shit
Between morning cup of coffee 1 and 2 the little dinger on my phone went off letting me know of a new email. Fuck it, gonna get cuppajoe # 2 down before I read that. Half way through #2 I decide to check it out and what do ya know, school got cancelled due to …
The shittier the Wx, the better the adventure. That’s what I tell myself anyway…
Despite the severe wind warning NOAA was putting out, I felt it was the perfect day to head out into the desert for some solo riding. Winds on the way out were 40-50 and blew me into the oncoming lane a few times, but the lean traffic made it only scary, not deadly. …
