La Hacienda Ranch

I got together with some bicyclist friends for dinner at La Hacienda Ranch since my other plans for the evening were completely trashed because of me locking my keys in the Jeep.

The first thing I noticed was that the place was packed! If you don’t phone in reservations you’d better get used to waiting. The food was excellent, the beer was cold, and the company was great.

New seat for the Sportster

My drama for the day was heading out to buy a new seat for the Sportster. I got a really good deal on a Badlander Seat.

Why drama you ask? Well because I locked my keys in the Jeep and had to fight with the dealership to get a new one cut. It took two tries because they cut the wrong key the first time. So my two hour trip to pick up a new seat ended up taking closer to six.

Tread Lightly

My Tread Lightly membership packet arrived today. They’re a non profit group that works to promote responsible use of the outdoors by everyone from hikers to OHV users like me. They’re funded by those of us who join and donate, so give them some of your money!

Canon PIXMA iP6000d

The printer came in today and I’ve got it set up so that I can print directly from my digital camera. And all I can say is WOW! They included 5 4×6 sheets of their Photo Paper Pro paper as a tease. I printed one of the photos from my recent .50 caliber rifle shooting trip and it’s indistinguishable from a 35mm print. I’m completely in awe of this printer and will be taking a lot more photos now that I’ve got a good way to print them. I’ll test an 8.5 x 11 print once I get out to buy some more paper.
