Merry Christmas

Christmas cheer and cherished memories. This is the second Christmas without my loving father Earl T. and there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of him in one way or the other. Things are still changing in our life's as we move into 2010 the house my daughter has spent her entire life  in and the house my son grew up in will only be a memory for all of us as well, we will be leaving the Wagner house in 2010. This home has been in my family since 1963 and I have spent 30 years of my life in this small but very wonderful home. She has given my family warmth and a ton of cherished memories. This old gal will also be missed.
Life however goes on without family members and cherished possessions.
The pages in my family's life have been turning quite quickly and I am sure my entire family is looking forward to the pages slowing down a bit in this next decade. But it will still be a page turner I am sure, with both the kids going to collage and starting their own family's in the years to come.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Week is here.

The last shopping weekend before Christmas and I will be involved in the shopping frenzy. Who's with me?
I would imagine I will not be alone at the mall.
I only have to buy gifts for EVERYONE I KNOW IN ONE DAY. E-yicks!!!!!

Happy Happy Happy Holidays

Snow in The AC

I Finally get to stay home for a week and there is too much snow to ride my bike so... Lu and I headed up to The AC on foot. Holy Moly walking though a foot of heavy wet snow is harder than riding up in dry conditions. We made it to the big tree below Seven Steps and had enough. Great work out and beautiful view of C Hill and Kings Canyon.

Up and over the summit twice this week.

I took this picture while driving behind a very cautious driver 20MPH YICKS..... atop Echo Summit on Tuesday.  The roads are worse in Carson than they are on 50 at 7500 feet. Nice job Cal Trans. Coming home I left downtown San Francisco at 12:30 and arrived home at 5:20 not bad for rain and snow the whole way.  It started snowing at the Y in South Lake 4pm and the driving conditions got very sketchy quite quickly.  NO Chains from South Lake to Carson in the Blue mini van.... slow going for the last hour of my five hour commute.  the temperature in South Lake was 33 degrees the last two turns coming down 50 the temp dropped to 26. Can you say INVERSION wow I don't think I have ever seen a temp drop like that. Spent a little time in Pacifica on Wednesday the swells were coming in and two guys were out taking full advantage of the waves.

Endless Summer baby..

Did a little time in the Cupertino hills

So I am stuck at a Courtyard Marriott in Cupertino Ca with my bike. Its 3pm and I have no idea where to ride so after about 30 minutes on single track fn .Com I had a plan. So off I went into the East Bay hills of California . I actually found the spot I was directed to and got on my bike and with a little hesitation off I went. Very cool . Here are some more pictures. I wish I would of taken a picture of the Mountain Lion warning sign... But didn't I will be back tho so i will bring it to you next week if I have the time.

Finaly took my bike to work

Well spent my week in SF rode across the Golden Gate and around the area. It was quite the experience, however the car exhaust was a challenge at 5:30 pm other than needing a gas mask while riding it was pretty cool. Here are some pictures from my Iphone.
