Missus Snowbear found your latest gear purchase invoices?

Naw, she's good with it. Actually, she's helping subsidize the new computer, next week.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Overcast and a cool 60F presently. Projected not to hit 70F today. Paul Simon this evening. Mary Lou and Gary are working on our Bowl picnic. We also picked up some reusable bamboo plates, light and attractive ... so no more paper or plastic one-use plates. Mary Lou sewed up a table cloth with matching napkins and Gary is cleaning up an insulated backpack and selecting some vino. We're meeting some friends before the concert, so we gotta pack more than usual. Typically we take a shuttle in because the parking there is awful. It is called 'Stacked Parking', the cars are packed nose to bumper with no driving aisles. It's like a funnel, you can only move when the all cars ahead of you move. A friend, who is going with us, has convinced us that if one arrives early enough and gets a parking spot near the exit, that the parking lot actually works well. So, we're gonna try his recommendation. He is traveling with us, so if it become a mess, Gary can use him as a verbal punching bag. If it does work it will be great then all our picnic stuff can be stored in the car and not hauled around the bowl. (There are picnic tables at the Bowl, but they go fast. Our table rolls-up into a strapped bag for easy transporting.)

The Tri-Tip is still cooking away.

I'm enjoying chicken tenders down at the deli. 5 hours and minutes in the teens.
14.43 for the week so far. It is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes to getting my check. Getting to be too hot to sit in the truck without the AC running.
May just go home and come back later.
Not sure at this time.

pics please - always looking for fun beach/picnic stuff. We have a small white plastic table that folds flat and is about 2x2 when open. Not a ton of space but very lightweight. I've bungeed it to my backpack a couple of times but it's awkward at best...

Turned out to be a cracking day today, lovely and sunny with a cool breeze. After helping mum I then went for a mooch before having a lovely lunch then off to shoot some more photos.

Cool front came thru and it's nice and clear - and I can't breathe thru my nose! lol I like it less hot but I do better in the usual partly cloudy, partly muggy whatever than breezes blowing.

Got used to hockey during the day but the worlds are over, USA beat Canada for the bronze and Sweden won gold leaving the Swiss with silver. One of the announcers said Sweden seemed to have annexed Copenhagen for the tournament they had so many fans at the games, and they'd be home in 5 minutes to celebrate!

At least TCM has movies on that I like, '40s detectives - Torchy Blane, the Thin Man, Perry Mason, and Dick Tracy (those I've never seen). Oh no, somebody got stabbed with a paper knife (I don't think those could actually do that much damage!); wouldn't quite be the same trying to whack somebody with a smart phone, certain lack of movie making drama.
