SATURDAY 08/29/09 Current mood: adventurous Category: Life

O.K. SO THOSE OF YOU WHO READ MY LAST BLOG WERE LEFT WONDERING IF I WOULD BE HUNGRY FOR BREAKFAST SATURDAY MORNING, AFTER HAVING BREAKFAST AT 2am?
SO I (POCKETS) GOT UP EARLY SAT MORN TO GO MEET UP WITH LOOKELU, SUGAR, MIKKI, AND CINDY FOR BREAKFAST IN GILROY. I WAS FEELING SLIGHTLY HUNG OVER FORM THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I DIDN'T WANT A HEAVY BREAKFAST. I HAD CHEESE FRIES AND A SIDE SALAD!
BY THE TIME WE FINISHED BREAKFAST, CATCHUP WAS ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH HER MORNING OBLIGATIONS. WE RODE BACK TO SAN JOSE AND SWUNG BY TO PICK HER UP. WE HEADED OUT 88O TO 680 TO 580 AND PULLED INTO THE ARLEN NESS DEALERSHIP. CATCHUP SAID THAT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A RIDE, AND I AGREED WITH HER. I FORGET HOW CLOSE IT IS AND SINCE MOTHER NATURE HADN'T TURNED ON HER HEATER YET IT WAS PERFECT WEATHER. I'M NOT SURE WHY, BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE.
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF ARLEN NESS BIKES, EXCEPT SOME OF THE OLDER BIKES HE HAS IN THE MINI MUSEUM UPSTAIRS. LOOKELU'S LICENSE PLATE WAS HANGING FROM ONE SIDE. SHE HAD LOST A SCREW AND DECIDED TO SEE IF THEY HAD IT THERE. SHE WENT TO THE PARTS COUNTER AND ASKED THE BIG, BALD, DELICIOUS PARTS GUY IF THEY HAD THE PROPER PART. HE TOOK HER OUT BACK SO SHE COULD "SHOW" HIM WHAT SHE NEEDED. THEY WERE GONE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND ALL I KNOW IS WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE WAS SMILING AND SHE SAID THAT HE GAVE HER A GOOD SCREW . SHE ASKED HIM "HOW MUCH" AND HE SAID "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, IT'S ON ME"LUCKY LOOKELU GOT SCREWED FOR FREE!!!
IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE AS LOOKELU AND I HAD A GAME TO GET TO. BY THIS TIME THE HEAT WAS ON, AND IT WAS STARTING TO GET UNCOMFORTABLE. CATCHUP HAD TO HEAD BACK TO SAN JOSE TO PICK UP CUPCAKE, LOOKELU AND I WERE HEADED TO THE RAIDER GAME, SUGAR, MIKKI, AND CINDY WERE OFF TO FIND MORE ADVENTURES.
SO WE ALL GOT ON 580 AND HEADED OUR SEPERATE WAYS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN TO SPEND MORE TIME RIDING TOGETHER. NEXT STOP FOR LOOKELU AND I, OAKTOWN COLISEUM AND AN ADDED BENEFIT OF RIDING TO THE GAME, UP FRONT PARKING! WE WERE CLOSER THEN THE HANDI-CAPPED!
A VENDOR HAD GIVEN US TICKETS AND THEY WERE CLUB LEVEL. OUR SEATS WERE REALLY GOOD, BUT IT WAS REALLY HOT IN THE SUN. WE WATCHED ABOUT 1 QUARTER OF THE GAME IN THE SEATS, THEN WENT INSIDE TO WATCH THE REST IN THE AIR CONDITIONED BAR. WE HAD SOME BEVERAGES AND SHARED A SANDWICH. WE ALSO DID A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCHING AND LISTENING IN ON OTHER'S CONVERSATIONS *YES I KNOW THERE IS A SHORTER WORD FOR IT, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPELL IT (EASEDROPPING, EVESDROPPING?)* THERE WASN'T ANY MAYO FOR THE SANDWICH SO IT WAS NOT SO GREAT.
AFTER THE SAINTS KILLED THE RAIDERS WE HEADED SOUTH ON 880 TO UNION CITY AND TGI FRIDAY'S. WE STOPPED FOR SOME HAPPY HOUR FOOD AND DRINK AND TO WATCH A BIT OF THE 49ER GAME. WHICH TURNED OUT MUCH BETTER THEN THE RAIDER GAME!
AFTER OUR DINNER WE HEADED BACK TO SAN JOSE TO REST BEFORE HEADING OUT TO A PARTY. ONLY PROBLEM WAS BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE HOUSE IT WAS TOO LATE FOR REST. THAT IS UNLESS WE SKIPPED SHOWERS, AND BELIEVE ME, NO ONE WANTED THAT TO HAPPEN. SO WE SHOWERED, CHANGED, AND SADDLED UP FOR THE SHORT RIDE TO THE PARTY.
THE RIDE ACTUALLY TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE LONGER THEN EXPECTED. WE PULLED UP TO THE ROYAL OAK WONDERING IF THE "SURPRISE" PARTY WAS ON US. IT WAS TOTALLY DARK, NOT A CAR IN SITE. SO WE STOPPED AND LOOKELU CALLED A FRIEND IN THE LOOP WHO TOLD US THE PARTY HAD BEEN MOVED TO CARLOS GOLDSTEINS.
*I FELT MUCH BETTER WHEN I CHECKED MY EMAIL THE NEXT DAY AND SAW THAT I HAD BEEN SENT A MESSAGE ABOUT THE CHANGE THE MORNING BEFORE, SO I KNEW IT WASN'T A CONSPIRACY, LOL*
WE ARRIVED AT CARLOS GOLDSTEIN'S AND SAID OUR HELLO'S AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY'S. AFTER A WHILE ROCS, LORRAINE, HILDA, RACHEL, AND SOME OF LOOKELU'S WORK FRIEND'S JOINED US. THERE WAS EVEN CAKE! NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT'S 1:30AM, WE HAVE BEEN OUT AND ON OUR BIKES SINCE 8:30am, AFTER GETTING HOME AT 2:30am THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND WE HAVE AN EVENT TO GO TO TOMORROW!
TIME TO GO HOME AND GO TO BED!!! AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID. THE REST OF THE WEEKEND NEXT BLOG......
