Election day

Yeah I know it's well after the event, but for posterity's sake, here was the line in downtown long beach at 7am. Voting started at 7am btw, took about an hour and a half to make it to the front.

Married Man

Well a lot has happend in the past month. Plenty of fun pictures from our wedding and trip to Maui.

For now through, here's a shot of me enjoying paradise.

Friends and family

Group photo with the Fellas.

Were at 555 steak house in Long Beach having a delightful meal.

New board

I had been saving for a bit to buy a new surf board. Picked it up on Monday from Becker. This one is a 7'10'' with more of a fun board shape. Will be a lot easier to ride then my Flyer. The ride will be more stable, easier paddles, amd float me better because of the size.

Rode it once so far, waves were terrible, all blown out, so hoping tomrrow is sunny and smooth.

4th from Long Beach

These photos are from the Queen Mary 4th Fireworks show. Hey it's a free show I guess. Not the biggest show I have ever seen, but can't really complain watching from the balcony of our place. It's probably a 10-12 min display at maximum altitudes of 1500 feet.

Apparently a lot of people drive in to watch the show, because as soon as it was over cars started racing down the Pike parking garage. The horn honking volley soon followed.

Busy busy busy

Well this month has been mayhem at work, so busy I have not even had time to post here!

The other night we had a much needed work outing at a local grub site, here are some photos.

Zach + Christina in Long Beach

Zach and his wife Christina visted us for the weekend. Great times, we went all over long beach and parts of Orange.
Here are some snaps from Sat afternoon near the light house in the marina.
You can see our condo from one of the pics, the other is a cool tree lined walk way the wraps around the light house mini peninsula.
Quite a change in weather from snowy, cold Sandy Oregon for those two.
Zach and I went out surfing one morning, but maybe the high point of the trip was the first afternoon where we went for some half yards and grub at the yard house.

office party

Here are some snaps from our last office party. We were having some good times down at the Dubliner in Long Beach.

Also we saw Matt Leinart, he was pretty cool. He was actully just a look alike, but fun stuff regardless.

OK so humor me a little....

So, looking at getting my hair perm straightened like this.

Yeah sure, this is prob something only I care about, but then again, see the title of this post.

Anyway, I think it looks pretty cool, and a little more manageable than the the puff ball thats normally up there on my head.
