man, i ended up having a really busy weekend even though i didn’t have much planned. i pretty much got everything in that i wanted to, but it all felt pretty rushed. i never look forward to monday, but at least it should be more restful than the weekend was.

on friday taka and i went to an all you can eat korean bbq restaurant called furusato only a few blocks from our house. it has a big sign that says “$11.99 all you can eat” so i figured it would have to be terrible, but it ended up being really good, and we ate way too much. but the wife wrote it off to being pregnant and i’m trying to make muscle so it worked out. You can read my yelp review here.

on saturday morning taka and i woke up pretty early and went to this park near our place that has a huge pond with an island in the middle. i took my helicopter and crashed it pretty bad when a servo went out. she did manage to take some video of me hovering the trex 450 around before i wrecked it, although she didn’t film the crash. you can read my writeup about the crash and see some footage from my sony mhs-cm1 on my miniheliblog. Be sure to click the “View in HD” tab in the corner to see it in all it’s boring HD glory. So after my short flight we walked around the park and left when the geese started giving taka the stink eye. We had a valentines lunch with my mom in long beach and saw her newly landscaped yards which looked fantastic. Finally we had a quiet/romantic valentine’s dinner at home… we’re getting too old to go out and wait in the restaurant madness on v-day.

then today eric and i had an early gym session and then i went up to see my old buddy ken from elementary school who was in town for a convention. this is the guy that got me into cycling and radio control everything and was/is an all around cool guy. I gotta say a lot of the things I do and even part of the way I act has been influenced by him. He moved up to Reno, nV in the mid-nineties, and i hadn’t seen him for like 7 years so it was great to catch up.

…and on with the week
