Today, instead of eating during lunch, hahah I went out for a ride!
I had to get some gas first so I went to the gas station and then went up 99 and onto the Viaduct. It was GORGEOUS!
And then I got of on Seneca St., turned right on 1st Avenue and went through Pioneer Square. Pioneer square was awesome. I need to spend more time there. :)
On Saturday I went down to Everett to hang out with my parents and grandparents. My grandma made her famous Roast Beef/my Grandpa's favorite meal ever that night. So I had a delicious dinner!
Since I was in Everett with nothing else to do, I pondered, and wondered if anybody would be up to anything. So I texted Marting Maxwell to see if he was up to anything and he was with Jacob, Sara, Melanie, Jay, and Brian! So we decided to meet up at a bar and go drinking :D I had to wait about two hours for them to finish the Seahawks game......but it was worth it :D
We met up at the Whammy bar, Ryan and Adam weren't there. I wanted to see Ryan! I haven't seen him in a long time. And then we went down to where Tailgater Joe's used to be. I guess it's not Tailgater Joe's anymore. I loved it back then. They had the best pool table and nachos EVER.I bought the first round for everyone. Kamikaze! There was a crazy dance floor and a lot of people at the bar, we went downstairs and found a table to sit at. It was an overall great night! Ryan showed up too and Bjorn and his friend was there too. Here's a picture of us!
And then everybody left at around 2/2:30 and I drove to Martin's non-existent party. Here said there would be a party, I got there and there were only like five of them haha and Stephan showed up too. It was a good weekend :)
I have decided to set aside some money for a trip next year. I call it my ultimate Pearl Jam trip. I'm going to save as much money as I can, and hopefully when Pearl Jam goes on tour next year, I will have enough to see them somewhere exotic :)
New Zealand? Australia? Europe? Hawaii? JAPAN?! Preferably out of the country besides Canada. I already saw Eddie Vedder in Canada. So, I already have a small stash started and I'll keep on adding to it.
In more immediate savings news. Drew is helping me get an exhaust system. Since he works at a motorcycle mechanic shop, he will be able to order it for me. I hope I will be able to work on installing it with him instead of having his shop guys do it all. I would like some hands on time on my Ninja. I've been going back and forth between the Yoshi, and the Two Bros. I told Drew this and suggests the Leo Vince. I've been doing some research on the Leo Vince and I'm digging it. I heard the Yoshi slip-on in person and yeah, it was loud but it didn't sound TOO great. Sounded a little poppy. I intend on getting the full system. So I have to me in super saving mode.
Book!
The book I am currently reading right now is The Chase by Clive Cussler. My dad gives me books a lot when he's done reading them. And he's been reading a lot of Clive Cussler. He turned me to Michael Crichton, and he is/was an amazing author. I love his books. It is too bad he passed away. At quite a young age. But I still have a lot of his books to read so I'm glad :)
I like to re-read books too. A lot of people read 'em once and throw them out. But as I get older, I like to re-read them. Gives me a different insight.
EVERYWHERE I go there is construction work going on. Can't they stick to one project, finish it, and THEN move on to the next project? West on 520 has been under construction for about 3-4 weeks now. They finished east side construction within a week. Why does the west bound have to take so long. URGHA.
It's a lot more dangerous on the bike too...it can get pretty bumpy and scary. And those grooved pavements, I hate those grooved pavements!
And these signs are everywhere.
I'm just waiting for the day my tires slip out under me because of these grooved pavements and big ass bumps. 1st Avenue in Seattle is shitty as all hell, and now they are getting started on 4th. Wait to shut down all the businesses on 1st Avenue Seattle.
My Ninja is doing GREAT! I just had my 600/1,000 mile service done, and everything is A-Okay~! Finally got my new kickstand installed, and my new tank pad is attached :D
It looks super slick kee hee hee
I rode down to Everett on Sunday and totally washed him squeaky clean :)
Sara just purchased herself a Ninja 250 as well :D Candy Plasma Blue!
Hopefully, I will be going out for a ride this Friday since I'm not working! WOO HOO!
With Sara, Jacob and Melody, and I don't know who else =P But that should be great!
