pics to come

We made it! We finally made it!
Sunny Colorado waited until the day before
moving day to turn cold and white. It must have
snowed close to a foot which is no good for moving
trucks. which was not good for us. We had to park
the truck at the bottom of the driveway and shuttle
all of our stuff down in trucks...fun times moving to
and from Colorado.

Anywho, 16 hours to Phoenix and then another 7 to
Cali, and here we are (on the floor at Stephen and Sarah's
house). They hooked us up with a parking spot by parking
both of their cars and one of their friend's car in a row on the
street. Big City Life.

Haven't made it to the beach or our new house yet, but I'll
post plenty of pictures after we do...

wait a minute

The grass was green yesterday, but not today.

I don't know what happened last night while we were sleeping
but everything is covered with snow this morning...even my truck
(which by the way has never been covered in snow)!

my poor toy has to stay outside...

can you tell we're excited???

Penskee Trucks

When we moved to Colorado we looked at reserving a Penskee truck
online. I went through all of the forms and gave them all kinds of information,
but didn't confirm any of the quotes. A day went by and they sent me an email.
They want to save us about 50 bucks. Another day went buy and I got a
phone call. Penskee offered to take about 4oo bucks off the best quote
(from $1200 to about $800). Deal!

So now that we're moving to San Diego, we went back online. Got a quote, but
didn't reserve. Got the $50 off email. Next day got the phone call offering to
give us the truck and trailer for about 350 bucks (instead of $480). Deal! Then
two days later they called and asked to change the pickup location. OK fine.
What's in it for me? Now we get the T&T for 235 bucks total. I don't know
if you have ever had to rent one of these trucks for a long distance drive, but
if you have I bet you paid at least double. Stoked.

Can't believe it's GO time! We have all our things packed, internet lined up,
and a place to stay Sunday night with my friend Stephen. Did I mention
the swell forecast for next week? Shacka bro! Did I mention our house is
only 1.5 blocks to the beach? Gnarly Dude! Ha

I purposely left this post untitled because I can't think of
a title good enough (I hope there are not multiple spellings
of left (on my left or I left this) because my big sis might make
fun of me again). Shit I hope I used the correct there or their or
they're? Well, we sent in our applications for a new place and have
been waiting to here back...calling the real estate company multiple
times every day. Several people want this place. Finally I had to
call the 'dude' and tell him what's good for him, and well, he agreed!
Our new little home. All 500 sq feet of it. 1.5 blocks to the beach!
Ocean beach! Surf's up dude! Ha. And less than 2 miles to Kim's
work! F yeah! (you know I have to throw in the vulgarities to
keep everyone as excited as we are)


Casa de' CK-all day



If you're hip enough you might think CK stands
for Calvin Klein...but even he is not cool enough.


represent fool

here comes the sun

well, the sun just hasn't left. sunny Colorado is unusually

hot for this time of year. I'm not complaining, but we were

hoping to catch a couple good days snowboarding before our

trip to southern California at the end of the month. not this time.

honestly, we have been so busy working, re-packing, and trying

to find a place to live that we haven't had time to miss the snow

yet! good thing we have a different kind of riding to look forward

to when we hit the ocean!

cat nap

My buddy Pancho sent some more picks from Iraq. Actually
his mommy sent them to me ( Thanks Tina! Keep em' coming).
I don't know where in Iraq he is (other than obviously a shower)
or when he is coming home, but he always seems to be happy
and f-ing off in every picture he sends. It's good to see the boys
can still find time for some fun. I don't know if he's hiding from
a bomb or a boss (Pancho likes his naps).

See Pancho or Bobby or Chuck or whatever name pisses you
off the most!...I can support the troops but not the war. I'm no
Hippie you conservative bastard! Send me another email so I
can really talk some smack. That's what good friends are for:
you can disagree on just about anything (political) and still
hang out and always have a good time.

California dreaming

(not for the faint hearted) he aint no saint

But I am. No really one of my good friends called me yesterday
mad as hell. He can never catch a break. Weather its this, or
that or many other things I'm not gonna tell you about, he
just can't catch a break. So Monday morning his 8 year old
niece calls grandma telling her mommy needs help. Long
story short: older bro goes over there and puts his sis in the
tub to wash off the blood and vomit. She had been there
since Sunday night. Now she's in and out of a coma or something.
Only waking for about 30 minutes at a time freaking out, and
then it's lights out. Someone kicked her ass. Big time. And
they don't know who it is. Now instead of going to his new
internship and grad school everyday, he gets to watch the kids.
So he calls me...when I find out who the mother f-er is...blah
blah blah. It sucked to have to be the one to say no no no,
c-mon dude, it just aint worth it, that's what the cops is for.
Now if the situation was turned around and it was my big
sis....when I find out who this was, blah blah blah! Anywho,
it just sucks.

Now on another note: craigs list rocks. weather your selling
something or looking for a place to stay, craigs list rocks.
maybe it doesn't sound as rockin' with no transition after
that story. I'll try to post something happy later today.
Maybe a post without any "aints" or 'cops is' or anything
else that makes me sound like a redneck.

moving costs

we spend every free minute searching for a place to live in san diego. man it's a bummer... everyone wants a million bucks for a 400 sq ft studio apartment. who the f can we fit in
400 sq ft? lets calculate some sq footage.... so we have 4 surfboards totalling about 30 sq ft.
now were down to 470. we have two snow boards about 10 sq ft. down to 460. two bikes about
15 sq ft. down to 450. a bed 24 sq ft. down to 426. a table and chairs? this is making me sick.
that's all we can take. we've got washers, dryers, dining tables, book shelves, cabinets, tv's, camping gear, and and and. and every place only comes with 1 parking space! ha

caller.com

Already homesick I went to one of my favorite newspaper
websites (caller.com) who had an article about a tarpon
fishing tournament that took place in south padre last week.
I clicked on the link only because one of my best friends went
there to help tag the tarpons caught. anywho i the photo
gallery had some picks of this stud, with no photo credit.

So pictured below is Jason Williams and crew...


pick two



Caimee if you talk to J, tell him he needs to check out these picks.
I hope your doing well and you are still in Kimberly and my thoughts.
We wish we could have been there too. We love you and hope to see you
sometime soon.

CO to CA

well we made it back to colorado...we had a good drive down.
it was sad leaving texas this time, because this time I knew
we are not coming back...it was great to get to know my mom,
sister, niece and nephew (all of which I haven't had a chance to
live my adult live with). I miss you guys already.
we're going to stay in CO until after Thanksgiving and then
it's off to sunny California! San diego, or what's left of it anyways.
We'll continue to keep everyone updated with our crazy schedule.

ok later

Happy Halloween

It's a bummer we didn't get many trick or treaters last night,
because I had all kinds of good tricks set up. When Suzy
brought her kids over I pulled out a bag of spinach and the
kids immediately retreated back to her...until I pulled out the
candy...Then they bum-rushed me!

Growing up I always thought my big sis was a witch...
A happy witch and her goblins



So the company started sending out picks from last weekend.
There weren't many good ones, in fact I don't know why you
would send out even 1/10 of the pictures they sent me, but
they did, so here are the good ones....brace your self.


Part of the crew warming up for dinner. This pick was shortly
after we got to NO and just before dinner...




Now you can finally see everyone I work with...
Table pick one: CK sticking close because there's safety
in numbers!



Another angle of table 1




Table 2




This is us trying to make a quiet escape but getting caught!











BOO!


HA HA HA HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
