Motorin'

Rode up to Strawberry, AZ for breakfast this morning with some co-workers. What an awesome ride. There were scattered thunderstorms and by scattered I mean they all ran away from us. The ride up was beautiful weather. It was nice and cool and moist and the pavement was just drying out for us (hooray traction in the curves). There was great scenery and the 95 miles up there seemed like a lot less. A nice long stop for breakfast and then back down the mountains to go home.
The ride down was O.K. too.. but hitting the valley at 11:30 made me wish I was doing the ride in reverse. Even still, it was a great use of 190 miles worth of gasoline.

I am in the homestretch for the summer semester. The last homework set is due Tuesday, there is a test Friday, and next Friday is the final. Then I get almost a month of free life before the fall semester starts! (yes, that was sarcasm).

For those wondering out there.. Max is 16 lbs. now. He can almost roll over and has become an expert at looking around the room and inspecting random things, especially during food time.
