Watch Your Lane

This past weekend I got another chance to tag along with the 445th Civil Affairs Battalion as they brushed up on weapons training. The unit is being deployed to Afghanistan at the end of the year and they needed to teach the newcomers about how to properly use a handgun. The weather this weekend was beautiful and we got some great photos. Enjoy!

Zixxer!

 So for the past week I've been riding around Santa Barbara on my friend's 2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6-R. Such an incredible bike, it never fails to punish me for my most trivial riding inadequacies. Unforgiving to the inexperienced squid, this Ninja puts the adrenal glands on high alert often resulting in whitening of the knuckles, perspiration, goosebumps, and lightheadedness. This machine is not for the faint of heart. Seek medical attention for erections lasting longer than the duration of a ride though the canyon.
