What the hell.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I haven't updated my blog in damn near a year. Today though was a good enough reason to do so. Yesterday I did two Tandems and two AFF's. But today is Sunday and also Veterans' Day. I slept in until 10. I hopped on the motorcycle, flew down the mountain, pit-stopped at Seattle coffee down on central to have a quick double tall soy latte and a chicken salad sandwich and off to Belen. I needed my Sony handycam from my locker at the DZ and the weather was amazing. A long twist of the throttle and I pulled up to the hangar. Immediately Ken grabbed me for AFF. Ok. Beautiful day, Zrex and jumping. Who could possible say no ?. Besides, one of them was a photo-shoot for "Outdoor" magazine. That was a cool dive. Me and Ken took up one of the journalists while Krishan flew his always awesome video. It was late in the day with the most incredible light. Ken and I turned the falling formation to face the sun so Krishan's cameras would get it in all it's high-speed glory. Afterwards, I didn't even have to pack. I've got a new Cypres2 going in my rig and just had to leave it with my rigger. Sweet. Back on the bike for a 100mph long twist of the throttle home. Yes, it's true, I'm a junkie. Can't really help it and I don't want to.

After I get home, I check voicemail. Laurell and I had forgotten her Mom's bday present here and I needed to drive it over. I dropped it off and hung out awhile. Michele was doing ceramic tile on her new porch and Laurell had Katlyn over and were being very funny little girls.

Now, I just upgraded my computer at the house a week or so ago. A new 6600 2.4Ghz quad-core CPU, 2 Gigs of Corsair memory, an NVidia650SLI motherboard and an NVidia 8800GTS card. See, I've gotten hooked on Battlefield 2142. Multiplayer online voip-enabled, squad-based team combat set in a not-so distant future. Lots of online server to play from, some with names like "KBK" , or "Kickin' back killin". Yeah....

Anyways, about an hour and a half of that and here I am finishing up the oh-so timely blog of the year.
