So the new district has a ton of bad drivers. I have been to more accidents in the month that I have been here than I did my whole time in training.

People rear ending a person at the red light, thus pushing them into the intersection where they collide with another car coming from the left.

A motorcyclist racing through the tunnel.

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.

3 days in a row. That is all folks. Station….Duty.

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.

I finally got my transfer in. I got moved to Richmond Station. On Days. So far the most excitement I’ve gotten has been a call where someone thought their child had been electrocuted, but it turned out that he just had a seizure. Otherwise, a “suspicious vehicle” with a loose tank of gas which turned out to be a motorized scooter that was chained to a pole. Wow. Seriously. There is nothing going on. Although one of the other guys on his first night (he got onto midnights) had a foot pursuit and 3 resistors. Wow. I can’t believe he got that. So far no arrests, no big citations, nothing. It’s gonna be an eventful 11 months.

Ramune is sick, but I am taking care of her. Mochi is here trying to take care of her too. Bastard child…

I got my R6. I decided to buy it new, so it’s an ’08, black, and awesome. Just like the one that is pictured earlier here. Slipper clutch, fly by wire throttle, an exhaust that kicks ass…it’s fantastic!! The only changes I am looking forward to making are removing the passenger pegs, installing a rear seat cowl, removing all the turn signals and installing an integrated tail light in the back (duh) and flushies in the front. Mebbe some HID lights in the front with angel eyes or the demon eyes. I think that’s it. Yeah.

Between workin hard, stayin 2 nights in a row for 14 hour shifts…I have realized that I need to get out a bit more.

Monday: I rode to Laguna Seca for a preview of the MotoGP coming up. Basically the racers were testing the track, there were interviews, autographs, it was sweet! I could have taken the parade lap around the track, but I decided against it. I am still a bit nervous about doing that until I have a bit more experience in taking it faster (although I don’t think people were doing anything really fast that day)

Tuesday-Thursday: Work. 38 hours total, but tiring. Thursday night/Friday morning was interesting. There were a buttload of calls about gunfire. Some people say that they saw some kids running around. Some didn’t see anything. Some say that they heard 4-6 shots, others that they heard 20. But it kept happening all night. I was starting to think that either someone was fucking with us and setting off lots of fireworks over and over and over again, or that someone was goin nuts. Well on the last call, we found 5 cars had been shot, there were a bunch of bullet casings on both sides of the street. Running gun battle? Who knows.

Yesterday I saw “Wanted”. I liked it mostly…there was a moment where I just kinda lost it because of….well if you see it you will know. Remember Loooooooom of Faaaaaate…

Today is Wall-E. Woohoo.

I love Jenni. Thhpppt!!!!

What a fucked up movie!!! I found myself disturbed. Fantastic. i highly recommend it.

My last day of evaluation was yesterday. I ended it with 2 blue cards and an 11 page report. Not too shabby I would say. It was convoluted, it was long and arduous. Took me 3 hours to type it all up.

Now, I just have to wait for my FTO to finish up my last evaluation and my end of phase. THEN, and ONLY then, will I get my final blessing from the FTO Office. Oh snap.

It’s a bummer to have stuff still hanging over your head when you see the finish line and feel like you have already crossed through it.

I’ll give you the heads up when I find out. As it is, I’m still stoked.

I also celebrated my 35th birthday on wednesday. Got good BBQ, wine, 16 year old Bushmills, friends and some missing spots in time from where I can’t remember a thing. Sounds like I had a good time.

And as I finish this post up I have just been informed that I will be going to swings for now, until they figure out where I am gonna be transferred to. Sweeeet.

It’s that time, time for Evaluation Only. So, we’ll see how things come June 7th.
