Week in Review


I had been meaning to post this past weekend but with all that was going on, I just didn't get around to it. So . . . . here it is all in one shot.

Wednesday night Ashleah and I headed over to the Santa Fe Brewing Co. for some live music and beer. We were first timers to the SF Brewing Co. but I had heard from others that it was great SF hangout. I was impressed. Oh and the Viszolay Belgian was quite tasty. Only wish I could have had more than one! Ruby Dee and the SnakeHandlers were playing and if you are into old school country/rock then you would like them. Reminded me of the days in small town NM and the county fairs. Think Johnny Cash! Who else was on the card: Hoot and Hellmouth and Jim Bianco. Hoots was a bluegrass band out of Pennsylvania and Jim Bianco. Hmm. Can't remember where he was from but he was pretty talented. Oh did I mention that the beer was quite tasty.

Thursday was a for riding in NM. Lots of sunshine and very little wind. Zoe was in town to visit Chris so the 3 of us headed to White Mesa for a spin around the 8 mile loop. Being that it was Zoe's first time at WM we took it easy and snapped a few pics. (Insert your own images here as I don't have a digital camera at the moment and haven't gotten any pics from Zoe, yet). Did I say it was a perfect day in NM. Hmm. Well about half way into the ride, the winds did pick up and would gust to about 35+ mph. Made the technical edge sections quite interesting. There were times I wish I had my old 30 lb Diamondback. The La Pierre was no match for the gusts!

Weekend was here and the familia came to town to celebrate Ashleah's entry into the Catholic Church. Lots of food, a mass, Easter egg hunts and more food. Good times were had and even Sasha got into the easter egg hunt. We were all pretty tired by the end of the weekend.



Now I am at Conchas Reservoir for Walleye Spawn and lets just say that the fishing is slow. Hoping for better days coming up. I stole (borrowed) my mom's camera so I have a picture for today.



One last thing . . . . Did anyone notice that at midnight tonight George W's 8 years of errors will be down to under 300 days! Hope all you fools that voted for him the 1st and 2nd time are realizing how much of a mess he made.

SFB is a great place! We saw Government Mule there last year. No other place in the country at that point in time could claim better beer/music combo. I enjoyed both tremendously.

Check out Ryan McGarvey when he plays there next time. Can't miss one of those shows...although they are a bit loud.

Oh...one more thing. Beward of that Belgian. That's some strong stuff!
