Stupid Is As Stupid Does. Wait, That's Me Also.

Forgot to mention last time about my best friend "J" on his 12 Hours At Night race in Prescott, AZ. The whole event was pretty much wet and I'm sure miserable. Seems he still has a bit of "stupid" in him left. Wait, I too have a bit of "stupid" in me. "J" and Scott Golden took a third place in the event. I do miss my bikes. It wouldn't take much to talk me into this. I've been known to have done a few of these type of events. Nothing beats the feeling of riding single-track at night and being one with the trail and dancing with the curves.

Came home for 2 days to spend with Natalia and back to finish my AT at Camp Pendleton. Funny thing is I always bitch about going but in a day or two I become attached to the place and miss it already. Just trying to stay busy and fighting exhaustion on the long night shifts.

Hearing the roaring sounds of the Chinook and Super Stallion helicopters, to use a better word excite me. Just the massive size and sound. Watching them hover and drop off marines and and quickly gain altitude. Wow. But my days here consist of a hospital. A few more nights here and a bunch of days off. I love working here.

Reading a little of HP Lovecraft's The Call Of Cthulhu And Other Weird Tales. Still not reading as much as I would have wanted and already behind on Leviathan Wakes.

 Don't forget to catch the latest Sword & Laser Episode with the Daniel Suarez interview at the Geek & Sundry Channel.

Also don't forget to download Adam Curry's and John C. Dvorak's latest episode of the No Agenda Show.
