Oops!

Brief rundown of the last week's highlights.





Strawberry picking time. Too early for this blogger though.



It was worth waking up at 7.


Veggie burger @ Hooligan's. Get into it.






This has been the main cause of the slacking...



Turned this....




Into this!


Her name is Frankie. Join us for a ride sometime!

Dear Nate's Cellphone

Please fuck off.

Sincerely,
Nate

This post is dedicated to the few, the proud... The Bronados softball team. With an impressive win last night, we finished the regular season in a 3-way tie for first place.



I chose to celebrate with this little guy.








Sinking Ships @ Chain Reaction. Anaheim, CA

This band ruled so hard, but they are playing their last show at the Sound and Fury festival on Sunday. I really wanted to go, but it just wasn't in the cards. Maybe next year. In this clip you can see me air drumming in the front row. Oops.

Why should I love a world that won't love me back?

Update from the past week and change.



Strawberry cheesecake and strawberry/rhubarb cake. I love dessert at family gatherings.



Shipwreck played under a coffee shop. There was a couch being thrown around, so you know it was good.

This is my dad, he is a bus driver. All his work friends say he looks like Papa Smurf, so he got this tattoo:


I love my dad.

RIP ATIP

Learning of a friend passing is the worst possible news. Atip was a friend of mine that I met through my ex-girlfriend in San Diego. He was riding his bike home from work on Thursday night and was hit by a car. I didn't know him as well as I would have liked, but it seriously bums me out that I will never get to hang out with him again.



"Community members will lock up a "Ghost Bike" to remember Atip's life, which was unfairly taken from him, his family, friends, and this community. This will be the first Ghost Bike we know of in San Diego. Let's work together to make sure it's the last."

RIP

Please ride safe.

What the chicken?

Weeeeeiiiirrrrdd.

This is why we work.

Who doesn't love a good lunch date? Apparently someone didn't want a good friend and I to have one because the Pyramid Falafel truck was a ghost. Affinity's lunch buffet had a pretty good rep, so there we went.



Shit was hot, or Cory trying to blow it a kiss. Choose your own adventure.


Too bad it's pay by weight, or things could have really gotten out of hand.



Ballin' outta control.



Later on I met up with Ben for another nice meal and some bike parts shopping.


Ben's first trip to the North Star. Ben Approves.


Veggie Burgers all around. Always worth the trip.




Some gems that I rescued from my mom's garage sale on the weekend:



Winnipeg Jets playoff hand clackers.


Old Maiden cardboard poster.

Good haul.
