What did you accomplish today?

Was 78f and sunny here is Chiraq, so I took out the Trek and rode around the city. My fav futuristic bike trail was closed, and I was REALLY tempted to just lift my bike over the blockade and chance riding on it solo. But I didn't. I found other great streets to ride on. SO many people were out jogging biking, playing frisbee, etc.. Everyone was keeping their social distance, and the groups playing together were small. 75% of them were wearing masks. Lots of bike cops out just keeping watch and not bothering anyone. It's gonna be back into the 40s starting tomorrow, so everybody's making this gift of a day count.

My 18 yo boy just got back from Humboldt County. He lost his job, then his apartment, and didn't tell me or his mom. He was broke and homeless and sleeping outside for a couple of weeks before he decided to let us know. I'm kind or proud of him for not wanting to ask for help, but the virus was heading his way, and it's no time for roughing it. I flew him back yesterday for pretty cheap, and all his flights were empty af. I hear the airlines are starting to cut many routes, so this was good timing. I put him up in an extended stay place for quarantine for 2 weeks before he will split his time between my place and his mom's. I haven't seen him for 18 months, I told him I'm gonna hug him so long that it's gonna be awkward. A client who lives near his hotel came to pick up some herb, and agreed to take a care package to my boy in the hotel which consisted of a half oz. of OG Kush, a gram oil cart with a battery and charger, some papers, and a little glass bowl with a screen. He called me up almost in tears he was so happy. He should sleep for a couple days straight after his recent adventures and turbulent flights back home. Nice to be able to put him up and keep him safe until the world gets back to normal.


He may be a big boy now (at 16 yo here)-

he's hawt! does dad look a lot like his boy?



lol have you had a chance to ride it yet? I used to have a Juliana Joplin which were Santa Cruz's women's line. It was a 29er with short travel. It was kinda sloppy and hard to ride. I was considering the Santa Cruz 5010, but settled on the Kona hei hei trail because it was a year old model and the deal was too good to resist. My partner rides a Liv Hail, it's a nice bike but I'm not really a fan of the huge travel that you get from Enduro bikes.

Once all this corona shit is over we need to have a TNT mtb party at Moab.

Haha! Yeah it is! I sold in ‘05 and profited 500K plus I grew shitload of bud in the house so that was kinda cool. I lived north Sapinas almost Prunetucky(Prunedale).

i forgot. I do have a buddy who did it and he said you’re better off just renting one of their downhill bombers unless you have one. Sounds like some serious fun. I really like the idea of not having to pump uphill to go downhill. That’s some badass shit.

The trails i was talking about up in the santa cruz mountains above Almaden I used to ride were horse trails lol. We weren’t aloud to ride them but we did. Always had to worry about the cops being at our cars when done. Never did get into a horse accident thank god. Super tight trails.

Thanks, bro. He has a lot of natural musical talent, he's played guitar and trumpet for years, but no real discipline to polish his skills. He is a DOPE MC with bars of fire, and he makes really cool beats. I just bought him a home recording studio, with kickass mic and, great midi controller, and the lastest version of Ableton. That gets here right after his birthday this weekend...

My buddy built a super 8 right when the frame came out. Had to wait for some prototype white bros inverted forks for it. Around ‘97ish? He spent like 8 grand building that beast.

Cool, I was racing xc at that time............'96 - '97 was my intro to dh and caught the bug. I still have my bikes. The one I'll probably get back on I have a new fork, just need a new front hub or hub wheel......but then it'd be nice to re build the entire bike and update it or just get a new one altogether......just don't get to ride like I used to so it's tough blowin 3-5K LOL before kids I didn't think that way............sorry for the ramble haha
 
I started putting the tv in the wall. so everyday i do a little to this if nothing at all

Why, thank you. We say that he has my features, and his mom's color (white, blonde and blue eyes) and litheness. He's taller than me with a slimmer build, I'm mulatto and more muscular. The only black I transferred to him seems to be in his dick and his ass, that's really what counts ;)

lol I'm oddly curious how you know he has the bbc. Was his hair dyed in that photo?
