Week Two

Still in jury duty...let's see what happened today at the court house...

saw some lady in a cheap pink flower dress cussing at the security team searching her bag

saw three security guards watching a young female attorney almost fall down the stairs and one yelled "I can help because I know CPR"

I saw another security guard talking to a drunk teenager who was upset because he was late to testify in his case

and I saw a hipster with his pants rolled up or pegged as they used to say in the 80's.... that plus his flannel shirt and raybans means that decade is officially cool now.

Day 2

I am on a jury duty and the hour 30 minute lunches are killing me....anyone know what I can do to kill time downtown that doesn't involve hanging out with the wharf rats?

Civic Duty Calls

I'm downtown taking care of jury duty and enjoying a nice lunch.

Guess What Day It Is?

I am not a big fan of this type of attention but I have to say I really appreciate the love! Thank you!

San Diego British Car Show

We stopped by Vons for some shopping and was surprised to learn there was a British car show going on! Tons of cool Jaguars, Triumphs, MGs, Austin Minis, Sunbeams, and other random British stuff including a Land Rover Defender. We saw a lot of Defenders in Costa Rica. Oh and the Citrone, it was a nice French car but they made the owner park it on the street!

Sailing Trip To The Barefoot Bar

Yesterday Patrick and I took a trip to the Barefoot bar located on an island in Mission Bay. A rented a 16.5 foot boat and sailed to the island. We had a mai tai then headed home and saw some pelicans chilling on the bridge. Fun times!

Fuel Efficiency 1983 Style

The gas gauge on the Jeep hasn't been working too well for awhile so I've been keeping track of the mileage in an attempt to find out how far I can drive until I run out of gas. Yesterday I went to the gas station, filled up, checked the mileage and determined the Jeep is getting 9.3 miles per gallon. So much for fuel economy. I will admit I rarely drive it on the freeway so stop and go driving contributes to the low MPG.....but being 30 years old and having the aerodynamics of a brick doesn't help :)

Oh by the way....I filled up the tank and now the gas gauge says "full". Last time I filled up the gauge didn't leave "empty". Go figure!

Better Photos Of New Plants

Last week we posted a photo of our new plants in the backyard but the lighting wasn't optimal. See below for a couple of better shots. It's ready tough to take photos because the area is really shady but I think you get the idea. Michelle added some seashells for decoration. Nice!

You Can Always Find Space For More Plants

We decided to stick some plants in the corner where the grass never grew. Now the backyard is finished.....until we come up with something new....

Santa Anas Are Back

it's been a while since I posted anything on this blog. I have been working like crazy for the last 3 weeks. today I woke up and the winds were perfect for surfing. I decided to drive down to Imperial Beach for a surf. it was good down there and the weather was awesome. I surfed my friend Patricks fish. probably going to go down there tomorrow. Nice and peaky.
