Sunday drive

I spent Saturday in at work and also getting some news that has made me thoughtful and somewhat, well, distant from things. I had hoped to road-trip christen the new car by a trip to Yosemite or similar, but that just wasn't in the cards. After FUBARing my Saturday, I tried again sunday.

I woke up late on Sunday, but this time I wasn't scared about why; I just accepted it. At this point there were two choices: Get Out Of The House and enjoy the day, or sit inside and stay all tail-twitchy over things that nothing can be done about. I decided the former was much better for my mental health.

We (revar, chipotle and myself) were going to shoot for Pt. Reyes, a closer target. First we needed to get food and do a Fry's Run. The other roomie had brought back the GPS gear so I could finally test it in the Element and I needed to buy some enabling cables and other car-electronics fiddlybits to make things work. Fry's is always a great place to goof off with buddies, so we took our time. Lunch was a driveabout of finding a bank before settling on bad choices of fast food. Then I remembered I'd forgotten the camera, so we went back to the house to get it.

It was now late enough that Pt. Reyes wasn't going to happen before sundown... and it was bleary overcast anyways. Instead we did the Mt. Madonna loop that I usually motorcycle on. The trick this time was to take even-more-wiggly little lines on the map than I do when on the bike... and we found some great ones. Pictures were taken of a few things along the way, including one showing how my earring-decisions finally turned out. I also got a few more pics of the Element, including some interiors for the friends that asked me after my last journal entry.
