Fast food and slow rides

Mom was visiting from Boise this weekend and we celebrated her birthday with scenic walks and many foods off her usual healthy regimen -- chile relleno at Tia Margarita on Friday, Jack in the Box tacos for Saturday lunch, clam pizza (Ty's idea) on Saturday night, and corned beef and cabbage on Sunday.

Still enjoying the new bike. I took a few longer rides this weekend (through Golden Gate Park out to the beach and back) and practiced figure 8s in the city's most scenic parking lot outside the Legion of Honor. I also practiced filling the gas tank. It took one gallon, counting the drops that spilled on the gas tank while I was mastering the technique.

Thanks to Mom, I am highly visible and well armored. Here she is modeling the new jacket.
