Movember Gala Parte Los Angeles Avalon Hollywood, December 3, 2010 My regular readers certainly know that I was a participant in the Movember Foundation’s campaign last month to raise funds for and awareness of mens health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. Since I had 40 years of facial hair, I started off by having a fundraiser to get me to shave it all off. In about 45 hours my goal of $1,000 was met and I shaved it all for Movember. Beginning November 1, I started growing the moustache back. As a thank you to all the participants, gala …

Photos From Hockey Night Los Angeles Kings vs Florida Panthers Last night, Tanya and I went to a Christmas party that a friend of ours has thrown for the last couple of years at the Staples Center. Since Tanya and I have yet to spend a Christmas together, we dress up a bit to get in the festive mood, and use this as our Christmas celebration. The Los Angeles Kings hosted the Florida Panthers, and defeated them 3-2. The Kings were down 2-1 in the second period, so it is not like it was an easy win. Everyone had a …

Back On the Road

Regular readers may recall that around Labor Day I was complaining about being in a lot of pain. Shortly after that I left for Europe for a few weeks. After I got home I eventually saw a doctor that treated my problem rather than my symptom. In a nutshell, I was not able to do any significant motorcycle riding since the beginning of September! That is forever in my book. Saturday ended that streak. My picture of the day for Saturday is of me at a gas stop after a couple hundred miles of riding. It sure is nice to …

Desert Riding on Black Friday Spangler Camp – Cantil, CA It is Black Friday and the last thing I want to do is go shopping. Fortunately, some friends of mine went out to the desert to go dirt bike riding and invited me to come on out. I did not really take a lot of convincing. I loaded up the Charger with Buddy and my Canon and headed north on CA Hwy 14 out past Mojave to Cantil and an area known to the desert bike riders as Spangler Camp. It was sunny but brisk, but nothing a campfire or …

Photos Of the California Coastline

Photos From CA Hwy 1 Santa Cruz to San Simeon After a fun evening in Santa Cruz we grabbed some coffee and headed down CA Hwy 1. It was another spectacular day and it held promise for some great coastline photos. We were not disappointed. The CA coastline actually faces north, south and west so depending on the direction faced the scenery can be quite different, from calm blue coves to tumultuous waves crashing on the gigantic rocks that are prevalent along the coast in that area. If you have never driven along the California coastline, you owe it to …

Photos From Marin County and Santa Cruz Tiburon, Pt Reyes and Santa Cruz We drove a couple hundred miles back to Novato on Saturday so we could have brunch with my aunt and uncle on Sunday. I have not spent enough time with either in far too long, so it was nice having a few hours. The weather kept getting better. I could not believe it. We went for brunch at a nice outdoor cafe on the water in Tiburon. Afterward, we drove to Point Reyes then out by the Marin Headlands to take a few more photos. By the …

The Drive from Eureka to Crescent City Photos From US Hwy 101 Between Eureka and Crescent City We woke up in Eureka on Saturday morning. My good friend, Cathy, had the day off so she joined Tanya, Buddy and me as we ventured further north to take some more photos. We went up into the Redwoods National Forest then to Crescent City before stopping in Trinidad for an early dinner. It was a fairly overcast day and we did get a little rain, but hey, it is November, and we were pretty far north.

Photos From the California Redwoods Our Drive To Humboldt Redwoods State Park Tanya arrived on Wednesday evening. Thursday morning we decided we wanted to go somewhere. We thought about Utah, but for some reason the weather appeared to be nicer up north, so we decided to head up to see the Redwoods. We spent Thursday evening in Novato so we had nothing but nice scenery all day Friday. The weather was amazing. We ended the day in Eureka where we spent then evening with a dear friend.

I am not really sure what it is about mud and water, but Buddy sure has a knack for finding both. I can only presume it is part of his grooming process since he will spend the next few hours cleaning himself up. My photo of the day for day 311 is Buddy after finding the only mud in a one mile radius.

California Highway 99 – Merced

Photos From California Highway 99 Merced, CA As we approached the border of Merced, the first thing I noticed was the red light of a Merced Sheriff’s patrol car on the frontage road along Hwy 99. As we got closer I noticed that there were three squad cars all dealing with one person on a bicycle. I do not know if this is a sign of extreme boredom on a Sunday afternoon or just an excessive amount of resources being used. I found the people I met and talked to in Merced to be very pleasant, even Gabe. I liked …
