The guy then reaches the other side of the street, still yelling “nonononononono” the whole time. He does this crazy cartoon thing where he grabbed onto a telephone pole, swung himself around 360 degrees, and then kept running. The whole time I’m wondering what the hell this guy is running for, as he dumped something while we were running on the first side of the street earlier on…now this guy was no behemoth, but he was acting crazy, was about 6′ tall (which I know, me bein hella short means he’s much taller than me) so I pull out my baton, and finally catch up to him as he tries to run across the street again. I whapped him once and he dropped like a bag of rocks. I fell on top of him, my baton flying into the middle of the street, and locked him up till my partner could get there to help me cuff him. We got the cuffs on him, and pulled him up, and got him against a wall and did the regular customary search for weapons/drugs/contraband etc. Bunch of other units get there and it’s now all code 4.

I go back to see what he dumped, and it was a half eaten burrito. Beans and rice were all over the place. Wow. I ask him why he’s running from us and he tells me that he thought it was illegal to ride one of those motorized scooters. Plus he was on probation. He could have just taken his yelling, but he had to run. So, he ends up getting booked for some charges which became evident later on in the investigation, including riding without a helmet, riding without a license, resisting, and a few others. It was fun. Looking back, I should have looked for traffic before running out after him. But I was so focused, gotta control that for next time.

Onto other news…me and the Ramune are now officially engaged as of 1300 hours on 10-20-08. Tentative date in september. Hooray!!

Money is tight right now as I’ve got a bunch of things to pay for. My red light camera ticket, traffic school, replacing the ignition and catalytic converter for my truck after it got stolen, property taxes, xmas is coming, and there is really no overtime available for me in my current status. Sigh….tight tight tight.

Happy Halloween to y’all, be safe. I know I’ll be trying to stay that way.

Things have been going well so far. My Sgt’s have told me that I’m doin good at work, and are pleased with my performance. In all, I am havin a great time. No complaints. I just wish that I could fall asleep when I got home…that is still a problem. Sometimes I only get 4-5 hours of sleep, and sometimes it’s broken up by whatever is goin on outside. Sigh…the joys of workin mids.

Here are some pics of the day. Enjoy!

Ya gotta kinda feel sorry for a character like him at the point he falls to in the beginning of the movie. He had it all, then it just *POOF* vanishes.

Ramune is in Hawaii right now with her mom. That is her birthday present to her. She already got me a Honolulu PD shirt, trying to see if she can get some patches. YO RAMUNEEEEEE!!!

On other things, we were looking for a serious asshole the other day. He threatened the mother of his child with death, her sister and the rest of the family and also to kidnap their child. Then he tried to do it. After having previous DV issues, denying that the kid was even his, beating both of them, following mom around and stalking her, this guy now thinks he can get away…well, he’ll find that difficult to accomplish after we find him and lock him up. Rat.

I started riding my bicycle again through Golden Gate Park. It’s a good ride…and helps out with the cardio that I have been lacking. I need to find myself a workout partner. That should do the trick.

Tomorrow I am gonna go visit Moby and check up on his status. He had surgery today to put some kind of metal on his clavicle to keep it from moving around or something like that. I can completely sympathize with his pain, after all, I’ve been there right?

Don’t forget, if you have an 08 R6, I have the manuals on the R6 page up top. Check it out, download, whatever.

I’m over at his place cuz he got into a motorcycle accident yesterday which fractured his collar bone in 2 places. He was cut off by an errant driver, while in a turn, which when he slowed down caused him to straighten up and go into the gravel on the side of the road, causing him to lose control and get flung 50 or so feet through the air right into a speed limit sign. It’s good that the sign wasn’t a solid sign but one of those “perforated” sign posts. Otherwise, it may have turned out mighty rough. He has road rash on his right side, some bruising, as well as a few bruises on his head from the helmet.

So thank goodness it coulda been worse and it wasn’t.

Work is good so far..I’ve been sick so I’ve been inside mostly. Except yesterday, I got sent home because I looked like shit. Everybody made a point to tell me that I looked like shit. I felt like shit. And so I got flushed out of the station like a piece of shit. Nawwww…just asked to go home and come back the next day.

A: Tank decal and full fairing decal with the same symbol on it.
B: Tank decal and remove the symbol from the fairing. (just keeping the U.N. SPACY on it)
C: No tank decal, and keep the fairing as is with the full decal.

UPDATE:
I removed the tank decal. I’m waiting for a few BattlePod decals to come in. Those will go on the front of the fairing, like fighter jets kill marks

Person making a turn into a parking spot and hitting a bicyclist.

People not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. (and hitting them)

And on and on

So far I guess I can’t complain too too much. It’s slower here than Ingleside, but there is still alot to learn.

On another note, Ramune turned 24 last weekend. Took her to a brunch at the Embassy Suites Hotel with her family and some friends. Good frickin brunch. I didn’t know what to get there was so much good stuff. I ended up with only a fifth of the available goodies.

I also finally broke my bike engine in. WEG. Waiting on the decals to come in the mail for my modifications. Pics to folow.

At least I started up a workout routine again…time to lose those 5 or so pounds I’ve put on since I swapped stations.
