wow...
i read the first couple of pages right when you left, and for some unknown reason stopped checking in. grabbed some food after supermoto practice monday w/ a couple of friends and we talked about coming down to laguna and i was reminded of your adventure. absolutely amazing. i've never met you in person, but i'm so happy that you've managed to stick w/ it and live your dream. best of luck and have a great time hanging w/ all the barfers friday night, and the whole weekend!
hopefully you can make one of chi's bbq's in the future. i drive all the way down there from the north bay and it's worth it!
take care,
tim
