I'm a proud Papa!!!

Unexpectedly I'm now the proud papa of a....................YETI!!!  It finally happened after all these years. I was doing my roomate a favor by dropping him off at this guys house in pleasant hill where he was picking up his new Motorcycle.  As they were doing the paperwork, I noticed there were about 10 bikes hanging in the rafters of this guys garage.  I started peering over them checking out the custom steel gunnar, the funky recumbents and the carbon kestrels, and then I saw it.  A glimpse of the signature Yeti Teal, there it was in the far reaches of the garage hidden away a gem with slick tires no less.  I thought to myself that, "I"ll jokingly tell the guy if he ever wants to sell it give me a call".  But before I could say the words he said $15 and it's yours. Internally I said holy-f-n-s%$#t!!! on the outside I said, "are you sure?", he said I never really rode it, I said "sold".  So there it is my first Yeti, I've been dying to own one ever since I first saw the Yeti ARC hard Tail, oh well I'll settle for the Yeti SL.



PS- This puppy is loaded with XTR, XT, Thomson, RaceFace, ChrisKing. I am still pinching myself. life is good.

Road Trippin' Way-norcal

Gassed up and out the door. Making my way to the North. First stop Happy Camp, hanging out at "Bigfoot"and then a Trip to the "saloon", kid you not. Everyone had a story to why they moved up there, pretty much summed up to "get away from everywhere". Next stop was the Sulpher springs to experience the healing powers (is this on the UCI banned substance list?). Finally headed out to the coast to a place called the Samoa Cookhouse near Arcata. It's a place where they cook 1 meal a day and they bring it out to you family style on large benches. We ordered the dinner and Dre' said, how bout you get the pork steak and I'll get the pot roast and we could share. I said I think we get both. With dinner was split pea soup, bread, dinner salad, 8 ounce "chicken fried" pork steak, 8 ounce portion of pot roast, red potatoes and carrots. We finished up with a piece of Pineapple upside down. (BTW-If you want more of anything they'll bring it to you.) Totally worth stopping if your road tripping north. Next stop Crescent City
