Notes from an Overworked Underpaid Cycling Enthusiast: BOING BOING BOING

Hello,

I started this blog just for the hell of it after reading a few blogs from fellow cyclist friends of mine. Their blogs got me interested in what I might have to say and how often I might say it. These posts will not be strictly about cycling, that was just a title for the blog that came to mind as I was filling out the necessary info......I might change it later. Some of my interests that might get written about on this blog are in no particular order....Cycling, Photography, Food, Working Out ( as opposed to cycling), movies, & trips that I have taken or might take in the future.
Thanks for checking in. If I write something you don't agree with, that's okay. These are my thoughts, not yours.

BOING BOING BOING

OUCH

Had a $2700 check bounce for some photography that I did last year. Did I say ouch already. It is working out in the end. Got a hold of the company and they are re-issueing a new check that will be here Friday. It really sucks though when you go out of town and expect to have money in the bank and when you stop for gas the ATM says that you are $1700 in the hole. Damn good thing I take cash with me for spending whenever I travel. It's partially my fault since I hold checks for a while until I actually need the cash. Like now when I am not working. But the check did not have an expiration date on it and the compnay is still successfully in business. The funny part is that While I was driving around North County San Diego a rep from the same company called and asked me to do some work for them in April.

This is just a quick sample of the kind of stuff I do for money

NORTH COUNTY

There are two really important reasons I go to North County San Diego. First, that is where one of my oldest and best friends (Maryann) and her husband (Joe) live. They are great people. And fun. Secondly, "Honey's". This is a diner located on HWY 101 in Encinitas California. I have been going to this restaurant for at least 6 years now. Awesome breakfast. Great food, 12 types of coffee ready for serving, and typically great San Diego weather. This place is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it more if they were paying me to say this. If you're there, go. You will not regret it.

Just a few snaps from Honey's

REST

     I didn't do a whole lot while I was in San Diego. But that was more or less by design. I needed to get away and rest a little. Wish I could have stayed 2-3 weeks. Had to get back to the dogs though. It just seems as though everybody is always so active down there. I love to just drive down the 101 and watch people ride, run, & walk there day away. I have ridden my bicycle in this area last year on a 50 plus mile ride and it is great.

     I thought the way that the sand reacted around the various rocks as it was going in and out with the tides was pretty cool and made a couple of cool photos while I was walking on the beach. I could have, and probably will go back to do so, just stayed hours and shot different sand formations/colorations.
