Girls

brad woke me up at 730 so i could take him to the airport for his trip to amsterdam. we stopped at kosta's and had some breakfast, then i dropped him off and went back to bed.

I rushed out the door to work only to find 3 runners already there. Mitch had forgotten which day was his day off... and shown up on the wrong day. i took advantage of this situation to find some ride time, and went up to Mirror Lake Highway.

Up Parley's i saw a stopped bike, so i pulled over to help. the 60+ yr old man told me he just had some bad gas or something and was struggling with the throttle to keep the bike running. Then he thanked me for stopping and told me he'd be ok, so i got back on the triumph and hauled ass to Kamas.

I stopped at Dick's Drive-in and had a burger... and then attacked MLH. it was cold and threatening rain. it's almost july!!! so i turned around and headed back to park city.

I ended up meeting up with Emily and going to watch Aerielist jumping at the Olympic Park. it was pretty wild stuff. Had a lot of fun hanging out up there and BS'ing with her. I really wish she had more time in her schedule, i could do that like everyday.

Now i sit on the couch, missing a roommate and wondering what my weekend holds in store for me. my bet is much much much riding, some climbing and sleeping. Perfection.

ok i can't help but elaborate on that last one. Mistique... the girl that has been talking about her trip for like years... is actually LEAVING on her trip in like 12 hours. I'm gonna miss her, but the adventure that awaits her is worth my discomfort. I promised her i would come out for a week. Now i just have to figure out how to make that a reality.

just got back from zebrahead with brooke and mindy. godamn they rawk live!!! many many many drinks consumed, much money spent, but a great time had. very much drunk and riding with dave tomorrow, so i'm gonna hit the sack...

so i took terry tandeski's niece, Jolene, out to park city to go play after i dropped dave tille off at the airport for hawaii. we had a good time, then went for a garlic burger at the cotton bottom. After a short break we went to Piper Down with misty, lindsey, brooke, and boumy and caught Hot Buttered Rum live. We had many drinks, danced and had a great time. By far the most crowded i've ever seen PD. Made me feel good to know Dave's bar is doin well.

Got the valve cover off the bike today, and cleared out the garage to make more room for the work i'm doing. worked out well. we shall soon see what's up with the clearances.

long evening last nite. Went for sushi with liz and her friend melissa, dragged brad along. afterwards we got a lil tanked at the house and headed out to the Canyon Inn. many drinks were consumed, and i even managed to run into Daniel, the flash guy we tried to get to do graphics design for the site.

when we got back to the house more drinks were consumed and i got to check out melissa's Burton Fish. She told me i can ride it sometime, which i'm psyched about

brad got sick and that shut things down around 4am by throwing up in the kitchen sink, full of dishes. moved him to the bathroom and then to the bed finally around 6am. Some breakfast at Ruth's this morning made everything better... but i have nothin to do and all afternoon to do it, so i'm prolly just gonna veg on the couch and apply heat to my wounds.
