I'm going to Las Vegas for a week in a week. I was in St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago, next month I'll be in Albuquerque for a few days. Anything to get away from this shitty cold winter we're having.

You know I'm currently in Taiwan for Chinese New Year and while the temp has been between 42F and 62F it's the WET COLD like in San Francisco. With NO HEAT in the houses or hotels (they don't run gas or heaters in case of earthquakes) it's mighty cold let me tell you. But then again when you have a little Asian honey keeping your warm it doesn't matter..

You guys NEED to pick up kite boarding! It's the perfect winter and summer sport for us with 10'000 lakes to throw around!

I thought all you guys up north rode snowmobiles. We have to travel 600 miles to ride our sleds. ALMOST as much fun as a trackbike!!!
