Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was kind of fun and kind of annoying. it was fun cuz I got to ride with Art on Sat and then with Heather, her B/F and kids on Sunday. It was annoying because I got very little sleep between sat and sun, since we were supposed to leave at 8am. But didn’t until 9 which really wasn’t that bad.

What was annoying is that slamming my shin against the foot peg of Jason bike trying to get it started *ouch*, can we say almost as bad as the old school bear claws from the old BMX days. At the end Jason wanted to just kill the bike, but we ended up riding anyway, him and Heather on a quad and me on Jason’s 400, and the boys on their bikes. I wish I coulda stayed and rode a bit longer, as I was finally getting used to riding standing up. Overall everything that had to do with riding was fun, except for the bike not wanting to start.

Both of my brothers were down as well, and of course this would entail arguing, and granted I know better, but since it’s been well over 6 months since I’ve really talked to my Dad he decided it would be good to spark up some quite irritating discussion of which I had to correct hi in doings so. So nonetheless it was spent either arguing or bitching at him between trying to have a conversation with anyone else whom was there. Then of course my brother from Tucson had to be a dick. WE had a reservation at 1:30 Sunday for brunch, and at 12:20 he still wasn’t there. So I called and he said he’d be there by 1pm. well at 12:50 he is still not there, at 1:15 he’s still not there. Now my dad was bitching cuz I asked him to sue his car so one of us didn’t have to stop at the gate to get a visitors pass. But for some reason or another he says no, even though he has no plans to leave and is not planning attending the Mother’s day dinner, since he says he doesn’t eat much anymore. I must says he’s dropped crazy pounds since I last saw him due to his diabetic medicine, which of course started his rant that My brother and I need to get check for diabetes as well. Anyway finally at 1:25 we left telling my dad that when James shows to just meet us there. Well if things couldn’t get worse, I get to the gate and I don’t have the most recent copy of the Grandma mobiles registration, yet it is registered until 2003. So I can’t get on the base, and my brother Raymond and I are stuck outside waiting in hope that my mom would drive by. Instead here comes my dad and brother, and of course my dad starts bitching about the cars registration and he’s just not getting it so I give up, cuz now I’m getting a headache. We get to the restaurant which was the Lakeside Officers Club on the base, and we are crazy late and my mom is tripping cuz initially we were right behind them. So either my dad or my brother tried explaining the situation and tripped my mom out, so I had to clarify. Then everyone is like standing around confused except for me and my mom, waiting for someone to come to the register or to take us to our seats. My mom then says, we have to pay 1st, and both my brothers are just standing there, so I’m thinking “WTF”, annoyed to no ends now that my dad almost appears to be flirting with receptionist, and break into the conversations telling her it’s a party of 6 and within a few moments she give me the total $107.60, turning only briefly, in the dead silence noting no movement from anyone, and my dad sitting there grinning. Extremely annoyed by this I broke out the plastic and footed the entire bill. My brother offered to shell out $20 but i told him to give it tom me later, which I overheard my mom say to give it to her and she’d give it to me later, I never, did get it.

So then i get home and my moms crazy cousin comes by for whatever reason, I have issues with her so of course I ignored her completely. Why I have issues with her, is because she decided to tell all my relatives on my moms side that I had gone around and gotten up to if not more than 4 girls pregnant, and yes to refute that statement. So until she does, or she pisses me off annoyed to, as my mom says, “blow her hair back”, so until that time comes, I’ll simply continue to ignore her very presence.

Finally it was getting close to time for me to leave so I packed up everything I thought I had brought and my mom offered me the usual stuff, food. Then headed over to See Victoria one last time and her mom, whom I went high school with and meet up with Art. Art and I had planned to follow each other back to Phoenix as he had an early flight the next morning and would be staying at the crib. Half way out to I10; I realized I had left my toothbrush and all my hair products at my moms house. Thinking I’d just pick it up next weekend, I continue to Phoenix, when just outside of Casa Grande I realized I left my work badge as well.

Oh well, “ish” happens right, besides even though it seemed like a crap weekend I still had fun!
