We made it Sausalito. My wife is happy. Made good on a screw up by her ex 25 years ago @JohnPhilpin
Got out of Santa Rosa early. 48 degrees (was 84 when we left Kona). Went through Sebastapol then stopped at Howard’s cafe in Occidental. Foggy morning.
My wife is from North Dakota. I assumed she would know what to pack for weather in the 40s and 50s. She did not. Must have forgot. I’m from Hawaii and was totally prepared. That Irish wool sweater I bought is perfect
N California showed is other side. Traffic coming North from Oakland Airport was brutal. It was gridlock through Berkeley
How apropos. I watched the Dodgers win the World Series sitting in an In-N-Out burger in Santa Rosa California
Many triathletes at the airport this morning. Lots of bikes at baggage check
Up an hour + early. Packing for N California is more stuff than packing for O’ahu. Long pants, not shorts. More layers. This is the first trip in a year that’s not for some kind of surgery.
Now come all of the complaints about what the new Mac Mini ISN’T.
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. My first “home” Mac was a Mac Mini in 2006 and we’ve had at least one in our house ever since
Hope the Dodgers close it out today. We land just after game time tomorrow, so if they play tomorrow, I’ll need to find it on the radio on the drive to Santa Rosa
Army men in the concrete
The new Mac Mini looks hot. Will likey wait until after the new year. This setup won’t work anymore
One to go
The Dodger cups are out this morning
A little late drama, but Dodgers up 3-nil. Bullpen game tomorrow
When we planned this trip, we really needed it to be at the end of Oct , but my wife did not want to be traveling on the voting day. There’s so much hate out there she’s afraid of violence that day. She wants to be safe home. So it’s a shorter trip. Leave Wednesday and back next Monday.
I kind of expect to be a Senior for the rest of my lifetime, I guess it’s official now.
So the planet is edging further into…
Scientists have discovered that Earth’s carbon sinks are not really carbon sinking at the moment
Whenever we go to Costco, I slow down by the pumpkin pie. My wife always say no, and we move on. Last week she finally said yes. With the help of my grandsons, this is the last piece.
Bummer. They are so entertaining
Erik ten Hag sacked by Manchester United: news and reaction – live
As I’ve gotten older, I get to the airport early and just take my sweet time
Shift gears it’s been all baseball with a sprinkling of college football for the past couple of weeks. The Arsenal is back n action #UpTheArs
Just heard thunder in Kona at 6 am. Haven’t heard that in while
This is fun. Here’s a screen shot from the stream of the race helicopter shot with me taking a photo of the eventual race winner. Patrick Lange. It’s at the exact same time, he’s pouring water on his shoulders
The eventual winner of the Ironman Kona, Patrick Lange of Germany passed us on Alii Drive in 2nd place. He won in a new course record time of 7:35:53
They tried to come from ahead to lose. Almost did it.
