More.....

Geez, from noon to just now 6:28 pm, I had my video uploading...finally lost my cool and clicked cancel!!! So instead of a fun ride through many sights and interesting people, the only thing you will get to see is my new bike and me :)
Here is the Cruiser - needing a name for this dude, any ideas? I will tell you what, the contest to name the Cruiser is officially started. Whoever comes up with a name that I end up choosing will get a free dinner at Jaks Bar and Grill on California Avenue (Voted 2nd best burger in the nation last year)



I just had to......


I bought me a Scwhinn Cruiser yesterday...loving it! Took a nice long ride down Alki Beach enjoying the sites and a very relaxing cruise. Will try to post the video I shot yesterday

A short walk....


When I have visitors I will take them out for a nice little walk...a few blocks down the street from my new pad we would come upon the neat little "Admiral Junction" area. For those wanting to shop at cool little stores, sip a london fog, browse the used book stores, rent a bike - or simply people watch...this would be your spot. As we continue just a few blocks more to the north, we would end up at a place named Hamilton Viewpoint Park. It is a great view of downtown Seattle. You can click once on the pictures to bring up a full screen shot....very nice!!!

Moving on...












Well, today I moved a pickup full of stuff over to the other side of Seattle, to what they call, "West Seattle." About a month ago I decided to move over there and so found a nice 1 bedroom apartment right in the middle of all the hubub of so called West Seattle.

The first wave of moving went okay...not counting breaking off a pipe in the parking garage (truck too tall), busting the door on the elevator (tried to block it open to load it up with my stuff) and a small nick on my finger from the box cutter (dont cut towards yourself!!!) Oh, and on top of all that...I am suffering from the worst cold I have had in decades! Not really, just feeling a bit sniffly and stuffed up, but hey...That is life!
I am on the second floor with no one living below me...unless someone lives in the Chamber of Commerce office. It will be interesting to see who lives around me...wondering if it is a friendly place or maybe people just stick to themselves mostly? We shall see.

Here are some pictures of the place...quite a change from Bothell and my little studio. I have a nice kitchen, a bedroom (finally) a great deck and even a WC for all who know what that means.
In the next few days I will post some pics of the finished product and of the surrounding area. It is a very neat spot - vibrant and alive with the feel of Berkely or even Eugene I suppose. I like it a lot!
Keep your eyes peeled as I move along

Congratulations for finding your way back to my little 'ol blog! Keep coming back as you will see soon the new place/area that I will be living in for a bit - West Seattle!
