"This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my butt six hours a day. What are YOU on?" --Lance Armstrong

Dirt biking completed

Hit the motocross track with shane, john, soroush, marshall and his daughter. Good times with lots of big air. Best day of riding ever. Finally learned to wheelie. Hit some awesome jumps. Photos located at this place. Beer time now. George ate my in-n-out hamburger off the table while I was taking the dirtbiking stuff apart. At least he appeared to really enjoy it. Trying to hit jiu jitsu in the morning, but I am freaking exhausted right not. We shall see. No matter what though, its officially sabbatical. Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone. Might hit up "hangover" tomorrow night.

4 Days Til Sabbatical

4 Days until sabbatical 09 begins. After 7 years working at Intel, employees get 8 weeks of continuous paid leave. So for the first time in ~12 years I get a summer vacation.

Here is the sabbatical plan

Day 0 (Friday June 19th): get out of work after lunch and head straight to Prairie City OHV park with my dirt bike. Ride with Shane, another guy going on sabbatical the same day. What a great way to celebrate.

Day 1: Do nothing. Maybe play some ufc on xbox while still in my chonies.

July 3rd: Leave for Ireland - hit up the Jameson plant and Guinness factory. Fly to spain - run with the bulls and sight see. Drive to France - follow Lance along the tour de france in the pyrenees mountains. Bounce back and forth between France, Spain, and Andora following the tour, seeing the sights, camping along the way.
