Wild Turkey and Fire
I finished work around 7PM and headed out for a quick ride around San Pedro Mountain. (I took pretty much the same route as described in an earlier journal, but without the confusion at the end.) It was very windy, … Continue reading
Hot Pavement, Cool Wind
I had about 4 hours of daylight Saturday night to cycle. I went online and found some routes in Silicon Valley to try. I chose to follow the Crystal Springs route, 41.1 miles and 2200 feet of elevation gain. There … Continue reading
The Veteran’s Bicycle
During last night's ride, I had a short conversation with The Veteran about his bicycle and bicycles he owns and frame materials, etc. The Veteran was riding a $600, maybe $800 Bianchi, a simple hybrid bicycle with fatter tires. He … Continue reading
Tuesday Night Surprise Ride
Last night was my second "Tuesday Night Surprise Ride" which is lead by a Cascade Bicycle Club member. The route the leader Mike takes is up to his whim. It's fun, sociable, I learn new routes in Seattle, it's also … Continue reading
The Funny Company – 1963 Cartoon
I bought an HDTV tuner box (ATSC tuner to be precise) to go with my digital projector. In addition to being able to see local television broadcast in high definition, there are a couple of UHF-like stations available. It seems … Continue reading

See Hitomi's entry. Hitomi and I drove over to Wenatchee at around 8PM, and I tried to stay awake listening to the radio, while Hitomi was helpfully listening to her own music on her iPod. With all the passes you … Continue reading
Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon: Hitomi and I were — underwhelmed. Sure we both accepted that it was a very large and impressive hole, but in terms of aesthetics, Hitomi found it "dirty." (Later: "dirty and hot".) To be honest, I would … Continue reading
Arches National Park, the Drive to Grand Canyon
Originally, we had no plans to visit Arches National Park, but Hitomi liked what she saw in her guidebook and since it was only a few minutes drive from Moab, it seemed worth a look. We took our raft leader's … Continue reading
Moab, Utah and Westwater Canyon
The next phase of the trip was a two day river-rafting trip on the Colorado. We weren't really eager to fork over the thousands it takes to raft through the Grand Canyon — and besides typically you're on an enormous, … Continue reading
