How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2026....

Good Morning to everyone. It is warm again today at 84 degrees. We will be going to Waffle House for lunch.

The community pool is open and yesterday some cute teenage girls were walking up to it in tiny tiny bikinis. Young children must have an adult with them. The little ones like to splash a lot. I do not use it but I see the people in it as we drive by.

Have a good day and stay well, everyone.
 
I'm not quite as crabby as I was yesterday, ha ha! I did have to put off my trip to see the grandchildren; boo. It's just not worth trying to navigate the interstate in freezing rain. I can wait a week. I don't want to, but I will.

I've been trying to get caught up on work because I am meeting a friend for coffee tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to that. However, I may take a break soon and watch a movie or read, or just take some quiet time.

I hope everyone is having a great day.
 
Left: The 2 batteries for the remote-controlled automatic gate are lasting about 5 years. The last time, it costs me over $300.
I took plenty of pictures, and so this time, I did it by myself at a cost of $40 for the 2 new batteries. They are located in the
back of the panel. Right: I fixed a leak by myself. But since it costs only $20 to seal it, I may bring the tire away in future.

Left: my 6 y/o grandson scored another home-run yesterday. Right: My older daughter (the smallest) is with friends in
Arizona. At her age, I stopped inquiring what she is doing but hope she will tell me. Both pictures copied from the iPhone.

If you are cold, then come and visit me. In summer we have had it up to a fraction below 120 degrees.

On my desktop, cranking through post processing a huge number of image files from the 5-day road trip I returned from yesterday. Will be working on this for weeks. Despite the 310 mile drive, ($150 round trip gasoline) am considering heading back south by midweek as conditions are peaking at the location I yesterday posted an image of and the horrible current wind will be dying down. Such peaking blooms occur only once or twice a decade after wet winters and only last a few days at peak aesthetic levels, so its now or never. The dirt roads in such landscapes are horribly dusty so my white car is rather brown.

For any of you Southern California members that may wish to see this world class natural wonder, below is a Photoshop color enhanced satellite view from yesterday March 13, 2026 showing where the main poppy bloom is. The best blooms are NOT at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve (only a modest bloom there so far), but rather along highway CA138 aka Avenue D between 125th and 140th Streets. The blue dot is where I took the shot posted yesterday. Since news media has been posting info this last week, there are likely mobs driving about there this weekend. Most of the roads are dirt roads, with many quite negotiable with 2WD. Note one can disperse camp in many of these areas that is mostly BLM.

Likely attend a club venue tomorrow Monday evening, for a GD jam band.
