Well, Seth's funeral is today at 2 EST. Couldn't sleep last night, so I got up early and went for a ride.
Was up the top of the first peak by 7:30. Hung out up there thinking about Seth and my friends, and then bombed downhill. I really feel a lot better now.
Only downside was, on the way down, I heard a snake fire off. Slammed my brakes so I could see where he was, since there was a guy coming up the hill with a dog I could see, and my buddy was coming downhill behind me. Saw this bastage perched on a ledge about chest height and he was PISSED. He settled down a bit by the time I got my camera out, but man I haven't seen one that mad before.
After about 2 minutes, dude walks up with the dog and the snake calmly slithered off like nothing happened.
I am just glad I didn't panic, because the trail was about 2 feet wide, with a several hundred foot cliff on one side, and this dude on the other. lol
Then, pulling into my drive at the house, I see this guy running under the fence by my garage into the preserve.
The desert is waking up for spring. That's for sure.

R.I.P. Seth.
Ryan, I'm not sure if you're a religious person or not but in a similar situation, reading the 23rd Psalm and Thessalonians 4:13-18 helped me.
Is that the rattle on the far right?
Yeah... big 'un!
Maybe 9 buttons?
TTT: Good stuff man.
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I should have clarified earlier... I am a spiritual person, just not religious in the church sense. I do believe in God and I have a relationship with him... if I had to label myself I would call myself a Christian, although I don't really think I am a traditional Christian.
Even so, the above passage is very comforting. :beer
Yeah... it's been getting better throughout the week. Talk to some of the guys that still live around there a few minutes ago. They said it was a real nice service.
