Picked up a new car on our trip. One for my miniature series. Now to get some models.

Blah - feels like I'm trying to come down with a sinus infection. Jammin' allergies.

That's OK - we have enough here.

Gotta call the A/C man. Gary’s oldest daughter and kids are in town from St. Louis. They all like salmon ... so salmon for dinner.

But I thought the weather was always a perfect 72 degrees there???? No worries on our air for at least the next few years. Just replaced both units this spring to the tune of 11k. Until warranty runs out they're the A/c companies problem.

Great news on visiting daughter and family, know you'll enjoy that.

Gary fixed the A/C in time for the guests. But we stayed outside most of the time. The guests were Gary's oldest daughter and his two grandchildren in from St. Louis. The weather here seemed like a Spring day to them. We took a long 3 mile walk along the creek and horse paths during the hottest part of the day. The kids had a lot of full chasing Maggie through the water and under the bridges.

Unfortunately, LA doesn't have perfect 72F weather all year round. If Gary wanted that, he'd move to San Diego.

I must be doing something wrong, because I usually just get little trinkets and souvenirs on vacation.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Yesterday was a good day. Between work and play Gary racked up more than 19,000 steps (9+ miles). Gary's grandchildren, Luke 8 and Claire 4, flew in from St. Louis. Walks along the horse trails and games and water hoses and Maggie dominated the day. Gary tossed a huge Salmon, (the biggest he could find at Costco), onto the Kamado, and it tuned out deliciously perfect. (He had to cut the fish in half and it still barely fit.) We all drank Champagne and Zin from Temecula, drove around town with the top down, sipped on freshly roasted coffee and bubbly water flavored with fruits and leaves from the yard. A very pleasant day.

Morning again y'all. 5.38 if I remember correctly 10.21 for the week so far.
Enjoying chicken tenders and gravy and home fries at the deli. Sold my box of pennies to Trish. Going to get another box, the PO, box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

@ smoke665: Starting the morning constitutional with Miss Maggie. 70F presently, may reach the mid 80's, no humidity to speak of ... turning off A/C.

Really???? Seems it never rains in Southern California....or at least I've heard that kind of talk before.

but ground bees are ruthless. Just when you thought it was safe to stop running......Run again! Trust me.

We have yellow jackets (wasps) that burrow in the ground. Mean little buggers that will sting you for no reason. They aren't nearly as bad as the Guinea Wasps. They nest everywhere in shrubs, under rocks, eves, anywhere they can find a little shelter. They're territorial, you get within a few feet of the nest and they'll swarm you. Had some build a nest in one of the post on the RV shelter. My wife just walked by and they got her a couple of times before she got away. I tried using wasp spray on them and it just made them mad, chased me down the driveway a good 100 yards. Finally let them settle down, and used starting fluid and a match to fry them.

Tell them not to come back to St. Louis. Horrible hot humid summer. We got home from Mexico first of June and it was lower humidity in Mexico!

Her husband is coming out today and landing in San Diego. He said that the windows were all fogged up like a steam bath.
