Tonight we picked up Aleki from SFO and quickly drove to LaPinata for a “small” bite to eat.
Taco Night Woo Hoo
We just love Taco nights. Tonight we used blue corn shells. I think I ate 6…
Klamath Falls
Had a bit of business in Klamath Falls Oregon. It started out great, there was a little Peruvian Band to entertain us at the airport.
Unfortunately it was about 17° F when I arrived in Klamath Falls.
Work was smooth, and I found a great Hawaiian restaurant. The North Shore Restaurant. The Kalua Pork was so good.
With a number of hours before my flight, I raced over to Crater Lake. The last time I was there the weather was terrible and I wasn’t able to get a good shot. I drove an hour and a half on an iced road in my little Hyundai rental car and was literally there for 60 seconds, I snapped this panorama and raced back to the airport only to find that the weather in SFO caused a 4 hour delay.
I waited patiently at the gate with 10 other unlucky passengers. This gave me a lot of time to update my blog and enjoy a wonderful dinner of Fritos & Mountain Dew from the vending machines. I got to bed at 1:50AM.
Damn SPAM & Flying Burd
Last night, we decided that we would eat breakfast at home instead of going out since as Sandy put it, “We have some SPAM that’s been in the cupboard for some time.” As I was preparing breakfast this morning I happen to glance at the bottom of the can…
If I fail to update my blog by next week please send someone over to the house, because it probably means we died of SPAM poisoning. Actually I feel SPAM will never expire and would love to do a 10 year experiment. Kinda like what the Chinese do with eggs. So everyone is invited to our place on December 2019 for breakfast. I’ll be serving 10 year old SPAM, eggs & rice.
On another note we’ve been letting Judy’s wings grow out which means she’s flying a lot more. This morning, probably to get away from the smell of expired SPAM she took flight. After a few minutes we found her motionless on the rug above the stairs.
Sundial Bridge revisited
Had a trip to Redding so I decided to try and photograph the Sundial Bridge again.
BTW as I was driving home from Redding I saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. It was heading north as I was going south and there wasn’t enough time to get my camera. I see so much interesting stuff while I’m driving. I’m gonna look into a car camera mount to capture this crazy stuff.
It’s Christmas?
Today I met Sandy for lunch at our local shopping center. I can’t believe it’s Christmas time already. We ate at Daphne’s, Sandy had a Chicken Salad I had the Gyro.
Later we took a walk on the shoreline.
Feels like a Sunday
I love 4 day weekends. Today, in between naps, we went for a walk and ate at the India Palace for lunch. Later I made Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner.
Koa’s Thanksgiving 2009
This year we went to Auntie Amy’s for the 1st annual Umami Thanksgiving celebration. As usual there way too much food and everything was delicious… I mean Umami. Thanks to Auntie & Cait for all the hard work. For the evening’s entertainment Koa had everyone’s attention with her Halloween Pig Costume.
This is was also a great chance to test out Dido’s new camera. Unfortunately I paired it up with my 270EX which doesn’t have an auto focus assist light. So in low light the XS couldn’t focus at all and my eyes are so bad I couldn’t tell until I looked at the photos on my monitor at home.
Short Week
Today I snapped a couple of photos of the ferry terminal while waiting for Sandy to come in. We then got a bite to eat, Angel Fish was packed so we went to LaPinata. I had the Chimichangas. I feel so fat.
1980
Almost 29 years (and 50 lbs) to the day I left home to serve my country. On our last visit to see my folks, my father gave Sandy this photo. While I’m not particularly pleased with the portrait it is a part of my history.
