Happy Easter!

So I wake up this morning, eat breakfast, and call Sean. Of course, he doesn't answer, he's still asleep. Pack my gear up, head out to my car, try one more time. Nope, still asleep. And I'm off.

There is a fair amount of traffic for being Easter. Maybe the mountain actually has people on it today. Passing Pala casino, I pass the slow Mini Cooper S and look at the mountain. There some clouds on it, but it seems to be a nice day for Palomar Mountain. Coming up on the Taco shop, I look in the rear view mirror and see some biker right on my ass... I slow down to let him pass even though grandma in front of us won't even think about letting him pass. He pulls up next to me and throws the peace up, I wave back without really looking and keep on slowing down. He keeps looking back as he passes and then I notice its my buddy King as he gives me the bird. He lets me pass, only to pass both grandma and I on the next straight. I finally pass her and catch up to king, he lets me pass and we turn on South Grade.

First thing I notice is road is slick. Then I notice Rick parked on the outside of the first turn, I look down in the shadow at nothing but wet road. Looks like its gonna be a bad day for riding. But, I get up to the turnout and Its probably the only dry turn on the mountain. I break out my gear as King rolls up and get ready to start shooting.

Turned out to be a pretty good day of shooting. After getting there, the guy from JPimagery shows up and starts to shoot all dressed up in his Sunday best. This guy is one lucky guy. His wife came out with him and hung out in his car while he shot. I don't know many women who would sit in a car all dressed up. Guy definitely found a keeper there. A guy in a Ferrari rolls through a few times and stops to talk. Of course it got the attention a you would think a Ferrari would get parked on a turnout on Palomar Mountain. Turns out a few of the guys I know where up on the mountain. Noon rolls around and Sean shows up in his new A4. He shoots for a little while and we leave. Overall, the day was a pretty good day that resulted in this nice little number.
