Today I came into the student center here at Lakewood to find the whole room had been ransacked. Both my office and the storage room had been pretty much tossed around in search of anything worth stealing.

Among the items stolen were my church laptop, a projector, and about $100 in petty cash. This is not the first time that room has been broken into, it is at least the 3rd or 4th time this has happened since I have worked here.

Anyway, I just ask for prayer. I mainly would just like for this to stop, and so I ask for prayer that people will be convicted, at least to the point that they do not do this again.

So Ryan and I bought new headsets for our helmets called the scalarider Q2.

It gives us the ability to do a few things.

1. We can talk to each other via intercoms.
2. We can talk on the phone through a bluetooth receiver in the headset
3. We can listen to FM radio, which means with an FM transmitter we can listen to our ipods as well.

We went out riding this morning just to test them out.  They work pretty good, and it makes riding with Ryan a lot easier, cause I just tell him when he is ditching me, instead of trying to catch up with him just to give him a hand signal that he doesn’t understand.

I did indeed buy the VStrom on Saturday, I have however been too busy riding it to remember to post on here that I got it! It is everything I thought it would be and more. As soon as I can I will post some pictures of it!
Cheers
Ryan

I just called a motorcycle dealer in San Juan Capistrano and they said that they have a 650 V-Strom in stock!!!! I am going down this afternoon to see if it is in fact true. I could be the proud owner of a V-Strom in only hours! I am excited!
Cheers

So we just got back, and here are couple of photos and videos from the last couple days when we did not have internet access.

Once again blogging from my phone. I rode 300 miles today to meet up with Ryan in this dumpy campground, 15 miles away from civilization, and that civilazation is Los Banos. Anyway we got some food and made dinner here, and now we are gonna just hang out and get some much deserved rest. Hopefully there are pictures below, but I don’t know if it will work through my phone.

Hung out with my aunt Dawn, and my cousins.  We went for a hike up to whiskeytown falls, and here are some pictures. 

Tomorrow I ride down the 5 to meet up with Ryan.

It finally hit me.  Riding motorcycles day after day can get real rough.  My back hurts, my butt hurts and I am ready for a down day.  Yesterday I took my bike up to Santa Rosa to visit my friend Dustin and his family.  It was really cold and windy the whole way up.  It was 90 miles up and only took me about an hour and a half to get there.  I saw Dustin’s family had lunch with him and then headed back to Menlo Park to relax for a little while.  By the time I got back to Menlo, I was exhausted!  The Radfords have been amazing, some of the best people that I know!  Today is the first day I have had where I don’t have to do anything!  It feels pretty good.  I will meet back up with Kozmo tomorrow!

Cheers

Ryan

So Ryan and I split ways today. He went up to Santa Rosa to visit Dustin, and I went up the 5 to Redding to see my grandparents and my uncle Kent and his family. We will meet up again on Thursday at this dumpy campground near Los Banos, that’s right a city named the bathrooms. Anyway I will try to post some videos later but don’t know if I will have Internet for a while, other than on my phone.

Ok so we took off from Justin’s house around 8:30am.  It took us a while to find the 1, mainly because we were already on it.  Turns out the 1 just turns into one of the mains streets in downtown SLO.  We went up from there to Morrow Bay, and then up the coast through Big Sur.  It was really pretty up there, but it was really cold and wet too.  My faceshield was covered in water, and my hands were numb.  On top of that we got stuck behind some RVs and slow cars so there were times where we were only going like 20 mph.  Needless to say it took us a little longer to get to the Radford’s here in Menlo Park than we anticipated, but we made it.  Now we are getting ready for an awesome dinner made my Ang, and some Margaritas!

Anyway, here are some videos from today
