Every other Friday, weather permitting, we have a sail out to a destination for lunch. This was supposed to be a way for me to meet other sailor friends and have some fun. The people available on Friday's are retired, and in the Bay Area retired means 80 years old. OK, nothing wrong with that, … Continue reading Sail Outs
So much to do and I can barely leave the house, thank God for Door Dash. It's been one day out, two days down since last week and it's SUNNY for the first time in months....AHHHHHHH!! Some of it is allergies, my body has a remarkable way of seeing that time slot where I have … Continue reading Achoo
It finally caught up with me, down for the count. It could actually be allergies and exhaustion from the super bloom too?? It's so beautiful out, but with the allergy season that's going to be huge I'm afraid to go outside! So what have I been up to since I haven't been able to blog? … Continue reading Too much road time
April is pretty packed, Arizona this weekend then back to Manhattan Beach the next. But first, I write... There's a house in Bend, Oregon that is within reach and is absolutely beautiful. Whenever I go through a town I like, I obsessively Zillow it to death to see if it's feasible. Bend seemed great, until … Continue reading Cat Lady
It looks like rain in the forecast the entire drive up to Seattle, with a need for at least carrying chains throughout a few sections. These storms have been relentless! One thing's for sure, the coast route is a no-go, I'll never make it. My truck will make it through the worst of it all, … Continue reading Waffling on my route…
Good thing my house is set up for indoor days right now and still kind of recovering. By the end of this storm I should be good to go again. I'm not missing anything, even skiing, by staying home this week. I just hope my friend's baby isn't born in this, Seattle has had more … Continue reading Rain forevermore
Not really, I did mean to get up early to catch the sunrise on the top of Mt. Diablo, that just didn't happen. The alarm went off at 6:30a, I had to tell Alexa twice to turn it off before I woke up at 7:30a. Another reason I'll never be a great photographer, I can't … Continue reading Snow Day!
The problem with getting older and being a half-ass photographer is that to keep up you have to upgrade your equipment every few years. I upgraded a few months ago to a Sony a7ii with a 28-70mm lens. It was a package deal from Mike's camera last November, it's replacing a Sony Nex5 I've been … Continue reading Camera Ready
Despite being rainy and cold everywhere I've been and being publicly called out on FB as looking to move into a trailer. I covered a lot of ground this past few weeks, now I just need to get back into shape which was not even on my NYR list of things to do. I have … Continue reading So far, so good 2019
It's been pouring in LA all week, with no plans to get back to NorCal on my journey I figured the best thing to do is have an adventure and take the train back. I love trains, a friend of mine took 13 hours getting back over the Grapevine on I-5 - normally a 5 … Continue reading Stuck on a Train
