The Blueberries are starting to ripen, a full two weeks ahead of a typical season we have seen in the last 29 years.

Never have I ever eaten any of our blueberries in June.

Just when I thought I experienced a camping trip without any unexpected costs / damage.

You know the routine, find a canvas worker. That can be patched on the outside with cloth and reinforced with a strip of vinyl on the inside as a chaffe guard. If done right it will not rip again. The two rolls in the middle, black and white, are rolls of vinyl to be used specifically as chaffe guards. It is called Harbortime. The blue roll is 8 yards of Shurlast material that Willow is using to make a cover for our Zodiac rib dinghy.
That will be better than new with the right hands working on it and while they are at it, add a reinforcing vinyl strip on other stress points as well.

Its a Tesla with a horse logo. What ever happened to creativity?
Funny you should mention it. I saw one on the road a few days ago and thought someone put a mustang logo on a Tesla.

The average cost of gas in CA, yesterday.
Holy Smokes! That's insane! Paid $3.18/gal for 89 this A.M.

Grew up in Ventura County, CA. Went to Chico State for College. I love CA, but it'd be tough to move back. Have lots of family still there. Visiting is nice. LOL.

A little teaser: on the way home today I saw a pink porta potty on the side of the freeway on its side, than I saw a green one and a than a white one before seeing the big rig with flat bed trailer(s) hooked to it that the porta potties fell off of. The driver just sitting in the cab. Thankfully the porta potties were empty or at least not leaking. I didn’t take a pic but was driving a car with a dash cam so hope to pull and post the footage/stills later.

No I wasn’t on drugs but understand if some of you think I was.

Gassed up and ready for a 3 day Holiday weekend on the water! Well we need much more gas than this tank but have an extra full tank in jugs in the garage ready to go lol. Tomorrow will be a full day trip with friends and their kids water sports and a few hours drive to lunch then a few hours back home for some filets on the grill and some cornhole and good drinks. Then 2 more days with the wife and daughter surfing and wakeboarding all day, going to be a fun 3 day weekend! Happy 4th to everyone and hope you have a great weekend also!!

just like I described above! Ah yes,I remembered it well, 😂

I thought I had a crappy day at work today until I saw this.

seriously though, it’s a good thing the crappers ended up on the should of the freeway. It’s four lanes across in each direction and the average speed was about 60 mph.

Note the heavy commute home traffic on the other side of the freeway, I suspect a lot of people left work early, like I did, on this three day weekend.

I just saw the end of a chase of a single car by at least six cop cars. It ended when the perpetrator ran the stop sign across the street and crashed into my truck and suv. I will post better pics in the morning. Took out both my tow vehicles, the night before we were going to the water. F…….K !!!!!

my wife is telling me to appreciate that it wasn’t worse and I agree but also realize that both cars damaged are mine. The officer said the suv only has a flat tire but I don’t see how that’s possible plus he only saw the tires since the suv is covered. He went on to say the truck didn’t fair so well. I saw the front end lift up when the camero hit it and it got pushed Backward about three feet and now the front passenger tire is up on the curb.
