Leftover pizza for lunch. I tinkered a little on my smaller backpack setup. Dawn made some lentil peanut butter soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(12/02) Pizza and apple pie for breakfast. Dim sum (Pork footballs and egg rolls) for lunch. I took the van out for a drive today. I did some grocery shopping ant Noh Hill market and Sprouts Market. I also spent some time at REI looking around. I did get a bag to contain my tent and mattress attached to the bottom of my smaller backpack. I also stopped at Walmart before returning home. I stopped at Super Taqueria to pick up dinner. A super burrito for me and quesadillas for Lou and Dawn.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (12/03) Granola and yogurt for breakfast. I went out shopping (looking) much of the day. I visited Target, Walmart, Safeway, then I walked the Westfield Mall and Santa Row. I followed that with a look at Mitsubishi SUV’s and an army surplus store. Leftover Pizza for lunch. Back home we had baked potatoes with chili for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (12/04) Granola with a banana and yogurt for breakfast. Now that I’ve started taking B vitamins I need to eat breakfast when I take the pills, which I take at 0700, so I eat right away. My first project was to check on the Hyundai's Front left tire. Lou said a neighbor said it was flat and she confirmed it. I park it in the neighbors driveway and I probably wouldn’t have seen it for some time. It was flat, as in zero air pressure. I thought, I just get the jack out and install the spare and take it down to be repaired. That was made really difficult because the car doesn’t have a spare and because it doesn’t have a spare, it doesn’t have a jack either. The car and tires are 12 years old and have had no previous tire problems so I can't really complain. I decided to call AAA to have them fix it. Their automated phone system referred me to use their phone app so I downloaded it. It wanted me to select a garage to have them tow the car to. That seemed like too much effort, time and expense for me so I decided to try to remove the tire and haul it down to get it fixed. I have a floor jack but it wouldn’t fit under a car that now is even lower than it was originally and couldn’t pull into a parking space over a parking curb without dragging off body parts. I had to jack up the rear of the car to raise the front a little and add some blocks to hold it up and move the jack to the front. Next problem was to get the lug nuts off. I got my impact wrench out and tried to remove them but it didn’t budge them. I tried a ratchet and also had no luck. Time to rethink this. I remembered I bought a tire plug kit for the van so I looked at the tire, still mounted on the car, and found a screw embedded in the tire. I removed it and poked in a plug. It seemed to have worked. Unfortunately I managed to both poke a hole in my finger tip andbang the top of the d=same hand causing both to bleed. The fingertip bled profusely. Tire fixed time to relax a bit hoping for the bleeding to stop. Then I had a salad for lunch. After lunch I went to the T-mobile store and bought a Pixel 8 watch. I had tried to order it online but couldn’t get the order to complete. I got into a circular mode coming back to the order beginning over and over. I don’t actually have the watch yet. It will arrive in a week or so. With all that done it was time for an afternoon nap. Back home I had some leftover burrito for dinner. Lou and Dawn were out all day with errands, appointments, and thrift shopping.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (12/05) Banana and yogurt for breakfast. I took Lou to the emergency room to have her leg looked at. I dropped her off and went across the street to Grocery Outlet for a little shopping before relaxing in the van waiting for Lou. About 1030 Lou was out and we stopped at Nob Hill Market on the way home. Lou and Dawn have a favorite gluten free bread that only Nob Hill seems to have so we stopped and picked some up. Back home I did the RV tank duty and then prepared wieners and tater tots for lunch. Baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (12/06) I prepared ham and eggs with tater tots for breakfast. I spent the morning blowing and raking leaves in our and our neighbors front yards. With it being fall with a bit of a breeze and all the contributions of the trees on the street, the yards can’t be made fully clean but I did fill a dumpster with leaves. I attended a bit of my Wednesday Webinar then relaxed until my new Google Watch arrived via UPS. I spent the early afternoon setting up the watch. Then I went out shopping. I visited Nob Hill, Smart and Final, Safeway, and Grocery Outlet Markets. I also picked up a late lunch about 1500 at the Wok On Express Chinese Restaurant in Sunnyvale. More tinkering with the watch when I returned.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (12/07) A banana to start the morning. Lou and Dawn were off for the day. I took the neighbors car out for a run to Happy donut to get a ham, egg and cheese English muffin for more breakfast. I then ran the car up and down El Camino Real road to get a little time on the engine. Back home, I ate my breakfast. Then I was off to Milpitas to the Super Walmart. They have a full market so I was able to get some things unavailable at our local store and the Neighborhood Walmart nearby. I also got a pair of jeans. The cold weather keeps telling me I need to be wearing long pants but I keep resisting. I got lunch at the LUU Noodle House there in Milpitas. I had a combination chow fun. We do miss having them nearby since they closed their restaurant near us. Back home I relaxed and also watched some of the house demolition at a nearby home. They are disassembling it, not crushing it. The dump wants sorted debris. Leftover lunch for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (12/08) I started with a banana and then was off to San Jose at 0630. I wanted to beat any traffic problems and get to the San Jose house to meet the termite inspector. I stopped at La Victoria Taqueria for a breakfast burrito and some of their famous orange sauce. The inspector arrived at 0805 and finished in about 10 minutes. I headed back toward home via Highway 82 (El Camino Real). I had hoped to get away for some camping after the termite inspection but I needed to wait for some items arriving from Amazon, especially the protection screen for my watch. I also learned I only have one week's worth of one of the pills I take so I ordered more from Kaiser. I got those about 1430. Then it was too late to really get away due to heavy commute traffic in our direction and only 1 hour of daylight at 1600. So another night at home. A beef pot pie for lunch and chili noodles for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (12/09) Ham and eggs for breakfast. I was on the road about 0900. I stopped in Gilroy at the Longhouse Restaurant for lunch. I, of course, ordered the Cowboy Garlic pork chop breakfast. Lots of leftovers for later. I also stopped in Hollister for gas and a Super Taqueria Burrito for later. I arrived at the Pinnacles about 1330. I hiked from the Manzanita Parking Area out to and through the Balconies Caves then back, about a 7.5 mile hike. After the hike I drove out of the park and parked at a pullout North of the park for the night.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(12/10) A crumb old fashion donut and bacon jerky for breakfast. I hiked up to the Bear Gulch Reservoir. I decided to explore some and ended up hiking around to the back of the reservoir. Then I continued up to the High Peaks and came down the Condor Gulch Trail about a 8.5 mile loop. Leftover garlic pork chops and tater tots for lunch. This is the first time I’ve used the air fryer feature of my microwave. It worked well and didn’t use too much power. I left the park and drove down to the Sweetwater BLM Campground 20 miles SE or the park. Nice quiet night all by myself in the CG. Salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (12/11) Leftover pancakes and bacon jerky for breakfast. I drove further back in the mountains exploring the other three BLM campgrounds Mt Laguna and the two in the Clear Creek area. They have a few trails that I will return to do, maybe even an overnighter. I made it to the end of the road where a gate keeps you from continuing up to the New Indira Mine area. Some day maybe I’ll get up there. Half a super burrito for lunch. I stopped in Pismo Beach at the Pismo Beach Preserve for a hike. I decided to do the Blue Spring to Spring loop hike, about 3.4 miles. I’d never hiked at this preserve before but keep seeing it as we pass by when visiting Pismo Beach. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to stay and eat tonight. I decided to stop in Santa Maria at the Cracker Barrel restaurant where I also spent the night.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(12/12) Leftover burrito for breakfast. I left Cracker Barrel early and drove down to Buellton and parked a while with good cell signal to plan my day. I reserved the ferry to Santa Cruz island in Channel Islands NP for Thursday. There were no sailings on Wednesday. So, I needed to have something to do until Thursday. I decided to Hike up to the top of Gaviota peak (7.4mi) and also to Hike to the Gaviota Wind Caves (2.5mi).I finished up the Wind Cave Hike at 1700 just as it was getting dark. I drove over to a nearby Rest Area for the night. I prepared a hotdog and cheese sandwich for dinner followed by some apple pie. Oddly, even though this Rest Area is very tiny with only room for 10 cars and 2 trucks, the only long time residents are one truck and myself even now at 2100. I expected competition which is why I checked in early.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (12/13) I was up early and ate a couple of Lou’s Frittatas for breakfast. I came down to Carpinteria. I did my laundry there. I stopped at a Smart And Final market and got some apples and bananas as well as some ripe avocados. I had guacamole and chips for lunch. I found where the ferry would leave from and checked in at the office. Fortunately they also provided a pass to park overnight in the lot. I took a nap in the afternoon then explored the shopping center next door. Mostly restaurants. While I napped, a carnival that had their trucks parked in the same lot had set up their equipment on a grassy area next to the lot. Loaded baked potato soup with toast for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (12/14) Granola for breakfast. I took the ferry out to Santa Cruz Island in Channel Islands NP at 0900. It takes most of 2 hours to get there. We did get to see dolphin, whales, and porpoises on the way. I headed right to the trail. I barely had time to do my 8.6 mile loop hike. It is the Montañon Ridge Loop hike that goes out along the bluffs then climbs up to the top of the ridge and back. I started at about 1100 and had to be back to catch the ferry at 1500. Four hours to hike 8.6 miles and 1756 feet. I wasn’t entirely sure I would be spending the night in the cold because I missed my ferry. Instead, I made good time partly by only stopping 10 minutes to eat my sandwich for lunch. I made it back at 1445. Nice hike and great views. I also got to see a couple of the foxes that are only found here on the island. Coming back to the mainland we passed through several hundreds more porpoises. We got back about 1700. I got some food from Panda Express for dinner and stopped at Winco Market for a couple of things. I decided to return to the harbor and try to stay another night.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (12/15) I prepared scrambled eggs with bacon jerky and toast for breakfast. I head off toward who knows where about 0815. I thought I might try to hike out to the Hollywood sign from Griffith Park but I also wanted to have lunch at Eat At Joe’s restaurant in Redondo Beach which closes at 1400. It could have been possible if traffic had been better so I opted to do the hike another day and enjoy lunch. I had some fun in bad traffic on the way but eventually arrived at about 1130. I ordered the John Wayne Special. I’ve had it a couple of times before, first time 40+ years ago. It’s still the same, and an outstanding meal. Also the restaurant had the atmosphere of a friendly truck stop restaurant. After lunch I continued South on the Pacific Coast Highway stopping at a Rest Stop about 44 miles North of San Diego. I prepared some ramen noodles and added a chicken breast for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (12/16) Granola for breakfast with a banana. I stopped at a Walmart store and got a few things. I replaced the wiper blades on the van. I got more wood chip pet bedding and serviced the compost toilet. I also bought a long squeegee for the windshield. I drove through the beach towns down to Mission Bay Beach. I got a free parking space right by the beach and a lawn where I had a salad for lunch. There was a lady with three 5 gallon bubble juice buckets then she launched bubbles from and had other visitors try their hand at making bubbles. While I was having my lunch one of her 18 inch bubbles drifted inside my van that was parked about 100 feet from her. I also walked on the promenade for a while. About 1500 I decided I’d better leave so I could get to my new home before dark. I decided to leave the city and head East toward Campo. I tried taking back roads but they all seemed to return me back to I8. I stopped for the night at a rest area on I8 near Pine Valley. I had a chicken breast with loaded baked potato soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(12/17) An apple for breakfast. I drove down to Campo and visited the Southern marker of the Pacific Crest Trail. I prepared brunch there with some cheese toast with fried eggs and black bean salsa. I also trove back West on Highway 94 to Tecate Mexico border crossing. I wanted to see what I missed because I got lost yesterday afternoon. The railroad I’m looking for disappeared on the way. It turns out it enters a tunnel North of the Mexico border and exits inside Tecate Mexico. Evidently the tracks do that several times on the way to San Diego. I continued East on Highway 94 then took part of the old scenic Highway 80. I found what I was looking for just North of Jacumba Hot Springs by I8. The railroad tracks heading into Carrizo Gorge and to Goat Canyon. About 1230 I started to hike out the tracks but, after talking to other hikers and bikers I learned it is 8 miles to the trestle, and of course 8 miles back. I figured I wouldn’t be back to the van until about 1900, 2 hours after dark. I turned around about 2 miles out and will return tomorrow. I moved the van a short ways from the trailhead to a wide flat area with good cell signal for the night. Also away from the dust road. Chili and ramen for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (12/18) Granola for breakfast. I moved from my camp spot to the trailhead. I started the hike about 0730. There were two other hikers there that started shortly after I did. They had camped out there beside the rail tracks hobo style. Goat Canyon Trestle in the Carrizo Gorge area of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway North of I8 and Jacumba Hot Springs. It is the largest wooden trestle in the world.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/_uk-dyco246Z1PUy4bTUSctuB4Mp_h4fFckW9sONADz0CMbGIF1B93RZqlPYCVtnl4MzqxK-L74TzJnNZAVQQzUNrGdn3esy0BS4nLIrlzM_aDg8euVlHqJdHug5LP9ZpgcgzlmeVuZPFuIcWPliB64" /><br /><br /><br />The hike was North from near De Anza Spring Resort by Interstate 8 and headed up the Carrizo Gorge to Goat Canyon about 8 miles out then 8 more back to the start. Curtis and Peter, the other two hikers passed me at about the 3 mile mark. We met up again at the end by the trestle. We had lunch and chatted before doing some nearby exploration then returning. I had a roast beef and cheese sandwich. We all hiked back together. Back at the van I offered them ice cream bars which at first they thought was a joke but then enjoyed them. We only met one other couple on the way back. I had leftover chili and needles then wieners and tater tots for dinner.<br /><br />Video of trains going through the gorge.<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGNejbFB1uE&list=PPSV">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGNejbFB1uE&list=PPSV</a><br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (12/19) Granola for breakfast. I head toward Julian on highway I8 then onto the Sunrise Highway 79. I stopped by a couple of PCT trailheads beside the road. Arriving in Julian just before 0800 I took a walk around town before stopping by the Julian Cafe for a great chicken fried steak breakfast. I came away with a slice of apple pie for later. I then went down the hill to Borrego Springs in Anza Borrego State park. I looked around a little, took some photos of some of the metal art figures scattered around the valley. I saw a coyote near the visitor center. I left Borrego Springs on Highway S22 and stopped on top of the mountain at the Culp Valley campground for the night. Near my camp I saw a bunny. There hasn’t been too much wildlife around.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(12/20) Granola with my morning pills. I took a walk up to the end of the valley to a vista point overlooking Borrego Springs on the Culp Valley Trail. I pulled out of camp about 0745. I continued West on S22 to Warner Springs. I stopped at a couple of PCT crossings for a look. I got cheap gas at an Indian casino in Anza before stopping for brunch about 1030 at the Paradise Cafe. I turned East there and headed down toward Indio. I stopped again at another PCT trail crossing and at an informative vista point with all sorts of information about Indians food sources in the desert. I did some shopping in Indio and got a date milk shake before heading East on I10 to the South entrance to Joshua Tree National park. I stayed outside the park in some BLM land there. As I was arriving to the park entrance there were a few sprinkles of rain and a big rainbow. I had a chicken breast and some ramen noodles for dinner. In the evening there was a little real rain.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (12/21) A banana and two frittatas for breakfast. I drove up to the Cottonwood Springs trailhead in Joshua Tree National Park. I hiked out to the Lost palms Oasis. It’s 3.6 miles out then back making my hake today 7.6 miles with a little exploring at the oasis. I had half a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. I returned about 1400 and drove out to a nature trail parking area. I had a good cell signal there which was a bit higher than last night’s campsite. I stayed there until just before dark then drove on down to the BLM area and picked a campsite. This time I pointed my nose down hill and that may be part of the reason I have better cell signal tonight since the windows are likely on the side of the cell tower, wherever it is. I had the rest of my ham sandwich with a salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (12/22) A banana and frittatas for breakfast. It rained some last night, It was foggy this morning. At 0800 I headed back into the park and drove to the Jumbo Rocks area and on through the park to Joshua Tree. I found barricades up at the entrances to campgrounds along the way saying no parking. I took that to mean no camping in the park, likely due to the rain. I continued to Yucca Valley then onto Highway 247 to Victorville. I got gas there and stopped for lunch at Raul’s Mexican restaurant for a carnitas plate. Then onto Highway 395 to Highway 58 into Bakersfield. I stopped at the Rice Bowl Chinese restaurant to pick up a shrimp dinner to go. I got gas in Buttonwillow. In Paso Robles I took Highway 101 up to Bradley and stopped at a rest area to eat some dinner. Then on to home arriving about 2130 after getting more gas.<br /><b><br />Saturday: </b>(12/23) I had more leftover shrimp dinner for breakfast. I moved the food from the van refrigerator to the RV. We all shared the leftover carnitas with some added chips, refried beans, salsa and cheese for lunch. I washed the van in the afternoon. Cabbage and onions with wieners for dinner. Dawn baked a pie for dessert.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (12/24) Leftover nacho chips to go with my morning pills. I started with a shower, a hair and beard cut and another shower. Then Lou and I went shopping at Smart and Final and Nob Hill markets for a few things. Back home I prepared ham, eggs, and hash browned potatoes for breakfast. I did tank duty on the motorhome. While i was gone the Hyundai tire went flat again. I aired it up and will get new tires in a couple of days. The existing tires are original with 73K miles on them now.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (12/25) A banana to start. I prepared ham and eggs with hash browned potatoes for breakfast. I relaxed the rest of the day. We had an early Christmas dinner. Lou and Dawn made beef Wellington and Ernie made scalloped potatoes, carrot salad with pomegranate and pineapple, green beans with bacon, and deviled eggs. We had real fruit cake with peppermint ice cream for dessert later.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (12/26) A banana for breakfast. Brunch from Happy Donut, an egg sausage and cheese English muffin. I Was off to Jiffy Lube to get an oil change in the Hyundai. Then off to Costco to check on new tires for the Hyundai. They did have anything for the car, they evidently are odd. I did some more price checking and I decided to get them from the Hyundai dealer. I had hoped that they would have the parts for a couple of recall fixes but they are still backordered. I got an appointment for tomorrow but have to leave it all day. I also stopped at ACE to get a new light witch to replace a bad switch in a closet. Back home I installed the switch. Then I disassembled half the front of the van to replace a bad parking lamp. After determining the appropriate lamp, I went to Walmart and got the lamp. Back home I installed the lamp and reassembled the van. A really stupid design that requires removing two pieces of trim to be able to remove the entire lamp assembly to get access to twist out lamp access covers. Obviously the intent was to be able to access them from under the hood but there was no access. I picked up a late lunch from Panda Express. After lunch I raked the leaves up in our neighbors front yard then drove her car for some exercise. We had leftover steak, scalloped potatoes carrot salad and green beans.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (12/27) A banana for breakfast. Lou and I were off early to the Hyundai dealer in Santa Clara to get new tires. We dropped the car off a little after 0800. Then we headed to the Country Inn restaurant in Los Altos for a real breakfast. We shared a skillet which included some Swedish pancakes. Then back home. I relaxed while Lou and Dawn were out shopping and at appointments. They returned a little after 1500 and took me back to the dealer to get the Hyundai. Lou and Dawn went their way. I stopped at Kaiser in Santa Clara and got my covid booster shot. Then, on the way home I got gas and then stopped at Walmart to get new wiper blades for the Hyundai and Jeep. I got them on the Hyundai just in time for some heavy showers the rest of the way home. We had pizza for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (12/28) A banana to start then some soft boiled eggs for breakfast. We all took a drive up to Pacifica to look at the big waves happening now due to storms and king tides. Unfortunately, it was also foggy so visibility wasn’t as good as hoped. We enjoyed our lunch in Pacifica. Then we drove down the coast stopping here and there. In Half Moon Bay we had some clam chowder for an early dinner. Dawn looked around a couple of book stores before we headed home on Highway 84. We stopped at the Container store on our way home arriving at 1830. We had some leftovers for additional dinner..<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (12/29) An occasionally rainy day with some wind on the side. Granola with a side of pills to start. Only a small amount of granola because Lou promised breakfast later. She and Dawn were off to the Mexican market to get tamales for our New Year dinner. When they returned we had some tamales for breakfast as well, I installed a small dehumidifier in the van. I searched for a good location and ended up installing it under the bed in the rear left corner. Power was available there and under the bed is one of my most concerning locations. I still need to install a fan to keep the air under the bed mixed with the rest of the cabin air so the dehumidifier should handle the entire van eventually. I picked up lunch from the Lucky Chinese Bistro. After lunch I bought some PowerBall Lotto tickets. The jackpot is too high to not do it. Then I stopped by Jiffy Lube to get the cabin air filter replaced with the correct size. Their computer was indicating the wrong size but they installed it anyway. Now they have installed the correct size. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(12/30) An apple to start. More rain today after lots of rain last night and yesterday. I relaxing inside all day. Lou made a real breakfast later in the morning. Tempura for a late breakfast. Crackers and cheese with guacamole for a late lunch. Leftover Chinese food for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (12/31) New Years Eve. I had cottage cheese to start. Avocado toast for brunch. We enjoyed the usual Sunday morning shows on TV. About 1000 we all headed off to Big Basin Redwoods State Park via Highway 9 and 236. We had leftover Dawn’s soup with toast for lunch when we arrived. I took a walk while Lou and Dawn had a nap. I hiked the nature trail and then up Dool Trail and back Gazos Road and Creeping Forest Trail. Total hike was about 3.5 miles. This is my first visit to the park since the CZU fire that destroyed the park. It was nice to see how green it is again. Most of the redwood trees are coming back. Only a few trails are open so far. When I got back to the car Lou and Dawn were leaving for a walk so it was my turn to nap. When they returned it was 1630, time to get out of the park since it closes at sunset. We came out through Boulder Creek and came back home on Highway 9, 35 and Page Mill Road. We had fried rice from our neighbor Meili for dinner. Cheese dip and chips in the evening. We managed to stay up to see the new year in.<p></p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-68846992730096898222023-11-01T17:21:00.000-07:002024-01-04T17:43:36.951-08:00November 2023<b>Wednesday:</b> (11/01) Granola for breakfast. I loaded a dumpster with leaf debris from behind our tent and cottage. I cut my hair and beard. Then I worked in the van doing some reorganization. Leftovers for lunch. I replaced some batteries in sprinkler valves. I washed the van, Hyundai, and Jeep. Shepherd's pie with baked potato for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (11/02) Granola and applesauce for breakfast. I checked with my insurance carrier about changing the van to a motorhome. They said thy had to remove it from the existing policy and create a new policy. That new policy could not have comprehensive and wouldn’t cover the improvements. So effectively only liability to 200/year. I decided not to do anything while I checked on other carriers. I tried Progressive and they would have been around $1000/year but wouldn’t cover the improvements. I also tried Roamly insurance, a DIY van specialist but their online form didn’t give me an estimate. I went outside to work. While I was outside I got a text that I responded to later. They gave me an estimate of less than $700/year for everything I want. I also wanted to get an estimate from State Farm that also supposedly covers DIY vans. Once i get the quote for SF and confirm it actually covers the improvements, I’ll decide on who to go with. BBQ sloppy joe sandwich for lunch. When working outside I cleaned up the area where I’ll assemble a shed for the four wheel bike made from used solar panels. Lots of junk to move and/or dispose of. Macaroni and cheese for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (11/03) I prepared scrambled eggs with shredded pork, tomatoes from the garden, and cheese with some hash browned potatoes for breakfast. My project of the day was to visit a place I hate to visit because I’m boycotting it, Home Depot, to get some paving bricks to match our walkways. I’m finishing up a little patio area that I deferred until now. The patio will also contains a garage for the four wheeled bike. I had to make two runs to get 40 bricks each trip as a start for the project. When I get that initial area paved, I’ll move a bunch of retired solar panels onto that patio. Then I can dig out to add base rock to the remaining area of the patio. Before oing the first section I need to move a small pile of base rock and shave off about 2.5-3 inches of base rock. When I placed the rock I brought it to the patio top height. Now I need to make a final trip, likely to Lowe’s to get some sand. While I was napping outside the HD store before loading the second bunch of bricks, I got a call from the neighbor. Their sprinklers were not working and their yardman couldn’t fix them. From the description, the timer appeared to be working and none of the valves worked. I suspected a problem with the 24VAC possibly no 24vac or an open common. The latter was the problem. Sometime a month or so back, they had a problem with the freezer in the garage while they were traveling. The person that fixed it also unplugged the sprinkler timer but didn’t plug it back in. I plugged it in and all is well. Nice break from moving bricks. No lunch needed due to a late breakfast. Tamales for dinner. I needed to make a grocery Outlet market visit to get some salsa for the tamales.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(11/04) Granola for breakfast. I worked on preparing a spreadsheet for the van buildout. I needed to send it and a copy of the bill of sale to the new insurance company for the van. I relaxed a while after that. Dawn made chicken celery soup for lunch. We went to her apartment to eat lunch. I then went to Lowe’s to get some sand. Then I stopped at the Grocery Outlet to resupply my ice cream bars. Chili beans for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (11/05) Granola for breakfast. I worked in the morning assembling the miscellaneous solar panel mounting racks. Chicken pot pie without the crust for lunch. In the afternoon I removed the pigtails from the solar panels and cleaned up the panels. A nice tri-tip tomato and cheese sandwich for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(11/06) Granola for breakfast. It rained pretty good last night and continued with some showers in the morning. All good enough to not do any work today. We all went to lunch at Aqui’s restaurant in Cupertino. In the afternoon I did more nothing. Lou made spaghetti squash with mizithra cheese and corn on the cob.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (11/07) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the patio extension in the morning. I removed, cleaned and stacked the paver bricks that were there. They are cheap weak 12x12 concrete pavers that once were the floor in Lous pottery shop then later a floor for a storage tent. They have been relocated twice. Now they are fragile and at the wrong elevation for proper drainage. As part of building the storage shed for the 4 wheeled bike, I’m finishing the patio. Not really a patio, more of a garbage recycling and junk area. When I completed the removal, I went for a hike. I drove up to Foothills Park and hiked up and over the hill on Fern, Constoan, Los Trancos, Trappers Fire Road, and Steep Hollow trails. About a 4.5 mile loop hike. Lunch from Panda Express. Relaxing in the afternoon. Lou made fried eggs with smoked pork chops and home fried potatoes for dinner. Dawn finally got a buyer for the washing machine and it was picked up this evening.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/08) Granola for breakfast. I made a shopping run. I visited Home Depot. That is where I got the trench drain I used for all the rest of the driveway and walkway. Unfortunately, they no longer have it. I then stopped by Harbor Freight to get some red buckets. I used to get the orange Home Depot buckets but since I won't buy anything I don’t absolutely have to from Home Depot any more, red will have to do. Next stop was Lowe’s to see if they had the trench drain but thy didn’t either. I did get a similar drain to use. Panda Express for lunch. Some king of leftover for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (11/09) Granola for breakfast. I Did some leaf cleanup in the backyard and relocated a plant to where the old washer had been by the arbor. Later, I scraped the sand off the top of where the patio will be. I also did a test dig and found that under the sand seems to be about an inch of clay and then good soil. Hopefully that is like that all over the dig. I also cleared some garden space and tested the bike approach into the shed. It looks like I’ll need a new plan and possibly a modification to the bike. I went to lunch at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. I had some stuffed bell peppers. Dawn’s Toscana Zuppa for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (11/10) Happy birthday Dawn. When Lou went outside for here early morning walk at 0600 she found a flooding garden spot next to where I’m working on the patio. I had removed a branch of the drip tubing and it started watering at 0500 so the 640 gallons that flowed out made a mess. No more work there until it dries out some. Granola for breakfast. Later in the morning we all went to breakfast, # 2 for me, at A Good Morning restaurant. Back home, Lou and Dawn headed out for a thrifting trip around the East bay and Dublin. I tinkered on the van a little. I installed a cup holder by Lous side of the bed on one of the back doors. I also installed the new 90# magnet on the passenger table. That took way too long to get it in place and holding. I also installed a 40# magnet latch on the outside table. I didn’t need lunch. For dinner I had leftover mac and cheese and a couple of wieners. In the evening I watched a very interesting interview with Chuck Peddle, a prolific engineer and business executive responsible for much of the existence of the personal computer. Then developed the 6502 chip that led to the Apple 2, hard drives on PC’s cheap computers like the PET, Vic20, C64, and Victor computers. Also involved in the development of 2 sided floppy and hard drives. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (11/11) Granola for breakfast. I worked outside cleaning up things. Mostly, I cleaned out the tent and made room for the four wheeled bike. I ended up filling the two compost bins and the recycle bin. Dawn’s celery soup for lunch. After lunch and a rest, I got to work on the van. I installed the ultrasonic pest device under the van's hood. I also cleaned the bedding by tossing in the dryer. Dawn and Lou made chicken pot pies for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (11/12) The usual slow Sunday morning. Lou prepared fried eggs with leftover chicken pie filling and leftover French fries. Leftover soup for lunch. I did a little work on the van. I finally wired up the fan over the refrigerator, no simple task because I have to remove the refrigerator any time I want to access the fuse panel. Who designed this van? Chile with ramen for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (11/13) I grabbed breakfast from Happy donut on my way to Portola Valley for a hike at Windy Hill Preserve. Patty, a new leader with SJMWH lead her first hike up Hamm's Gulch trail to the top and back. Perfect weather with a rare windless picnic at the top. On the way home I stopped at Ray’s Grill on the Stanford campus for some asada fries. Excellent. Back home I took a short nap. Then I hurried down to San Jose to Russ Equipment to see them about the motorhome shock absorbers. They don't seem to provide any damping. I got there just before 1600 and found them closed for the day. I did get to speak to the boss for a moment and he asked me to call back in 2-3 days because they were extremely busy now. So, I should have called but actually that was only one reason for the drive. I stopped by House Of Pizza for a Confusion Pizza. I enjoyed some of it in their parking lot then put the rest away for a couple more mels in the future. This Extremely Small Pizza feeds me for three meals. I relaxed in the parking lot because i hate driving in commute traffic so I was waiting for traffic to die down. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (11/14) Leftover asada fries for breakfast. I loaded a bunch of buckets with dirt from where I’m expanding the patio. 14 buckets turns out to be 700 pounds of dirt per the scale at the dump. My little car carries a pretty good load.. Back home I loaded the buckets again and started to head back to the dump about 1230. But then I thought I should check to see what their hours are. They are 6am-2pm so I returned home with my laid and have something to do tomorrow morning. I took a nap instead. Lou and Dawn were out at a doctor's appointment and thrifting. They had lunch at the New York Cheesecake Factory. In the evening, after traffic died down, I went to Harbor Freight to get some tools for another tool bag for the van. I like each vehicle to have their own tool kit. Then I stopped by Walmart neighborhood Market nearby, for some things. Leftover pizza for lunch and dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/15) I headed off about 0730 to take my download of dirt to the dump in Santa Clara. When I got back Ernie called to say his refrigerator in the trailer had failed. I checked it and it had power and was hot. It is also 20 years old. He found one in San Jose at Best Buy. I started feeling bad when I got home from the dump. I think I had food poisoning. I threw up several times. So, when we got home, Lou made me relax. She and Dawn put out all the garbage and the stuff for cleanup day. I started feeling a little better about 1800. Still no eating today. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(11/16) More relaxing today with no eating, until a late salad in the afternoon. I evidently had a quick passing food poisoning. In the afternoon i did work on removing Ernie’s old refrigerator which required figuring out how it was attached. Then I cut off the coils in the rear to make it narrow enough to get out through the door. That caused some excitement when it started spewing the ammonia gas. All was well after a lot of ventilation by running the cooler. We unboxed the new refrigerator and placed it into its space. More fitting to be done tomorrow.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (11/17) Tamales for breakfast. I finished the installation of Ernie’s refrigerator. I got the table saw out, since we had a break in the rain this morning. I cut a 2x2 to extend the bottom platform that supports the refrigerator and installed it. Now the door can swing fully open. I also cut some trim since the new refrigerator is 3 inches shorter and narrower. I installed some brackets to keep the refrigerator from moving back in the space. I oil finished all the wood pieces. Salad for lunch. After lunch I went to ACE to get a cap for the old gas line to the refrigerator. With it installed the job is done. I headed off in the van to Felton to attend a show by Jenny And The Mexicats. I left Palo Alto at 1400 to avoid traffic and find a parking space. Nice rain starting at 1600. The show is at 2000. I took a walk along the street. I picked up my dinner at a Chinese Bistro, some pork egg foo yung. Very good. I also visited a thrift store across the street, exploring for Lou. At 1900 I went into the Music Hall. I found one of the few chairs and claimed it. The room holds about 270 people so there won't be a huge crowd for the show. The warmup band was more like a disc spinner but did play an accordion, the guitar and a synthesizer. Later a drummer joined him. I really didn’t enjoy them. The Mexicats were totally different. They play all the favorites. This show was much better than the show I attended in San Francisco. They seemed to be having a lot of fun and the audience was too. Great show. Their show was over 1.5 hours. I left Felton about 2300. In Mountain View I stopped by the back to get cash and then the gas station for gas. I also warmed up my leftovers from dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (11/18) I had granola and one of Lou’s breakfast biscuits to start. A little rain today.I never got going relaxing all day. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Spaghetti and meatballs with baked squash for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (11/19) A nice day. The usual slow Sunday morning. Granola for breakfast. Lou and i took a walk before lunch. We walked over to the Bol Park Donkeys to say hi. Lou picked up a little girl for a ride on her scooter on the path to the donkeys. We then walked over to the Stanford campus to pick up lunch at Ray's Grill, two nice tri-tip burritos. We brought them back home and had lunch with Dawn. I’ll get to enjoy the other half of my burrito tomorrow morning. A nice nap in the afternoon. A little reorganizing in the van. We had chicken hamburgers for dinner. In the evening we went to Dawn’s to attend the Tellabration via Zoom where Dawn told one of the stories. <br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (11/20) I picked up breakfast at Happy Donut on my way up the hill to the Los Trancos OSP. I relaxed there and enjoyed my tea and breakfast as I waited for my fellow hikers to arrive. I led a 7.5 mile hike on the trails in Los Trancos preserve and down into Foothills park, then back. Our hike in the preserve shows some signs of earthquake activity in the past including a fence that was offset six feet by the fault movement below. Seven people joined me for this hike. On the way home, I stopped at Ray’s Grill again and got some chow mein for lunch. Back Home I relaxed the rest of the day. I had the leftover half a burrito for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (11/21) I prepared a ham, egg and cheese sandwich this morning. With this cold weather, I really am not inspired to get outside and do anything. Possibly in a day or two after more drying out, I will get back to the patio. Lou made tri-tip with baked potatoes and peas for lunch. In the evening, I drove Meili’s car to Harbor Freight and Walmart neighborhood Market to give it some exercise and get a few things I needed. Salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/22) Lou made an omelet for breakfast. I had a doctor's video visit in the morning. We went up to Redwood City for lunch at Harry’ Hofbrau. However, being the day before Thanksgiving, there was a line out the door for people picking up their dinner for tomorrow. We decided to go to Appelbee’s restaurant instead. That was followed by a visit to the thrift store, the library and Grocery outlet. Lou and Dawn had stuffing for their dinner. My dinner is unknown.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (11/23) Leftover omelet for breakfast. I tinkered on the computer all morning. We had our Thanksgiving meal after 1400. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (11/24) Granola for breakfast. I cleaned the leaves up in ours and our neighbors front yards. The leaves kept falling and we had room in the dumpster so I filled them. Also, when I cleaned up leaves last week, I couldn’t clean under a parked car in front of the neighbors house that was not there this morning. Chili beans for lunch. I filled my 14 5 gallon buckets and loaded them in the car with the intent to do a dump run and fill them again today. I mentioned to Lou that Kaiser had gotten back to me about my podiatry referral and they wanted me to get some x-rays of my feet. She wanted me to do them right away so off we went. It took no time to get them done today, no line no wait. However, that made me too late to make a dump run before they closed at 1400 so I got to relax the rest of the day. Asparagus soup with toast for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (11/25) I made scrambled eggs with ham for breakfast. I got the rototiller out and broke up some dirt to refill the buckets on Monday for a second trip after I dump the current load. Lou made fried eggs with bacon and home fried potatoes for lunch. For dinner, we went to Harry's Hofbrau where Lou and Dawn got their birthday dinner of prime rib. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (11/26) Granola for breakfast. The usual slow Sunday morning. I started cutting up the old refrigerator from Ernie’s trailer to add it to the garbage bin. It will take a week or two to get rid of it. Leftover lasagna for lunch. I took an outing in the afternoon. I went to Stanford mall and walked around. It’s been a while since I visited it and I wanted to see what was there. I also went over the the Stanford Arizona Garden . It is always a nice place to visit. From there i headed down to the Westgate shopping area. I looked around REI and other stores there. Then I stopped by the Walmart Neighborhood Market and Harbor Freight on the way home. HF actually closed five minutes after i got there but I got what I came for, I just didn’t get to look around and get all the things I didn’t come for. I ate my dinner in their parking lot, a salad, before continuing on home. Salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (11/27) I was fasting this morning. I headed off early to the dump, Mission Trails Garbage in Santa Clara, the self disposal site for Palo Alto. Not a short drive. I dumped my 14 buckets, 700 pounds of dirt. It was a slow process even though I was the sixth person in line. With that complete, I stopped by the Kaiser Clinic in Mountain View to drop off some blood. Back home I prepared some ham and eggs for my breakfast. I then loaded up another load of dirt and headed off to the dump again. Back home again, Lou had prepared sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob for lunch. I relaxed for a while then loaded up 15 more buckets of dirt into the car for tomorrow. For dinner I had salad and yogurt. In the evening we visited our nearby ACE store to get a replacement duplex outlet to replace a bad outlet in our living room.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (11/28) Fried eggs and ham for Lou and my breakfast. After breakfast i headed off to the dump. I arrived and there was one truck in front of me. I checked for my wallet and it was at home. So no ID to prove where the load was coming from and no credit card to pay to dump, so a quick U-turn and back homer to get my wallet. Only 15 miles between the dump and home. I returned and had to wait for the now 10 trucks ahead of me, about 40 minutes. With that task done I headed down to San Jose and visited the canopy shop to get a new roof and wall tarps for the tent in our backyard. I stopped by House Of Pizza in San Jose for a Very Small Confusion pizza for lunch about 1300. It is good for 3-4 of my lunches. I ate it in the lot and relaxed a while there before heading home. On the way i stopped at REI and bought a small bear vault (BV425) to use for overnight backpack trips. My BV500 is much too big for a night or two. Back home I put everything away and settled in to relax. Lou made vegetable soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/29) A good rain last night. Pizza for breakfast. I went to Kaiser for a podiatry appointment. I wanted to get my feet checked out due to some spreading numbness on the soles of my feet that started when I started the PCT hike 10 years ago. It seems to be expanding recently. Evidently nothing to worry about. The doctor recommended taking some vitamin B complex pills to help the nerves. Pretty much what I learned from Youtube. Good to know the facts though. I did some shopping after my appointment. I stopped at a new Savers Thrift store across the street from Kaiser. I found some glass mugs like i use for my tea. We all have out own versions. Clear for Lou, green for Dawn and thin clear for me. The cups are like mason jars with handles and my thin ones originally came with jelly. I was down to only three and I needed a couple in the van, a couple in the Rv and a couple in the house. I need two because I brew up a second cup of tea while drinking the first cup of tea. Green tea takes some time to brew and I don’t like hot tea so the tea is perfect after brewing and cooling for a while. I also visited the Grocery outlet next door for a couple of things, I stopped on my way home for lunch from Panda Express. Then I stopped at EVL Motor, an electric bicycle shop to look at electric scooters. Nothing just right. I may change from hauling my electric bicycle to hauling an electric scooter to save room in the van. Lou made Shepherd’s Pie for dinner with Brussels sprouts for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(11/30) Threat of rain today. Dawn made corn buns with ham and cheese for breakfast. I work in the van this morning fitting my medium sized marmot backpack, a 37L pack, with all the stuff from my larger 65L pack I used on the PCT hike. My intent is a nice overnighter backpack. The new BV425 bear canister fits nicely. I had leftover pizza for lunch.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-60947120982020893902023-10-01T17:15:00.000-07:002024-01-04T18:00:31.744-08:00October 2023<b>Sunday:</b> (10/01) Bean soup for breakfast. Lou made ham and eggs with home fried sauerkraut potatoes for lunch. I had some leftover from the freezer BBQ ribs for dinner. I finally did a follow up Covid test today and I am negative. I tinkered a little doing some final packing and purging items from the van. In the evening I made another shopping run to Smart and Final to get more oranges for Lou and some potatoes and onions. I also stopped at Marshal’s to get the potato peeler I was supposed to get before. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(10/02) Granola and applesauce for breakfast. I got to work with dirty job. Also a dangerous job for an old man. I cleaned the leave debris off the house roof and the sunroom roof. The sun room is directly under the live oak tree and has a basically flat roof so it collects a good load. I tend to let it go longer than I should. Lou wants it cleaned too often for my likes. Since I’m taking off for a week or so and she has been threatening to clean it off herself, I had to get it done before I leave. Definitely not a job for an old lady. It took all morning but it’s done now. Leftover moussaka and roast chicken for lunch. In the afternoon I drained the gray water tank and filled the fresh water tanks. I also disconnected the charged battery and charged the trouble maker battery. Hopefully, once they are balanced they will track better. Cheesy chicken tater tots for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/03) A nice slow morning. I relaxed in bed much of the morning watching morning TV (CBS Mornings, Live with Kelly, and The View) while also catching up on some Youtube videos like the late night comedy shows return. I did some additional packing, fixed a garden hose. I finally prepared a big ham, cheese and egg breakfast sandwich about 1030.I headed off in the Hyundai toward Redwood City but had to turn around. The power steering wouldn’t stay on. I took the van up to Grocery outlet there as well as stopping at West Marine for a folding wall cup holder. Theirs are better built than anywhere else as well as cheaper. Another stop was the bank for some cash. Cash gas prices are worth the trouble. When I got home an Amazon package that i order late Friday and showed no progress until 2:35am this morning when it shipped, had arrived before 1430. I expected it to be the usual 10 pm delivery. It was some cable and connectors I need to recircuit the batteries to a new battery switch that will allow me to isolate the batteries. I may do that in camp somewhere. Anyway, since it was only 1430, I called Lou and told her i was on my way early. I had thought I wouldn’t get away until tomorrow morning. Traffic wasn’t bad until I got on the 580 freeway leaving Livermore. I stopped In Tracy for a break and to eat dinner. I had picked up some fried rice and Honey walnut shrimp when I passed through Freemont at the Asia Express restaurant. By the time I was back on the road traffic had gotten worse It didn’t get better until i was on the East side of Manteca. I stopped in Oakdale for a couple of more things at Grocery Outlet and I got gas there. I headed out of Oakdale as it got dark at 1850. I finally stopped for the night above Groveland at the Pines Forest Service Campground. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (10/04) I awoke at 0500 and prepared a nice bacon, eggs and cheese with hash browned potatoes for my breakfast. I was on the road about 0615 and entered Yosemite park before the entrance kiosk opened. I parked at Curry Village and hiked up to Vernal and Nevada Falls. It was my post Covid test hike which i intended to be a 5-6 mile hike but this hike was 10.2 miles. I was ready to quit before I walked a mile but I pushed through and it wasn’t a bad hike. I had my usual trail lunch of some tuna and crackers and added a Cliff Bar. Back at the Van I had an ice cream bar reward. I left Curry Village and headed up Tioga Road.I stopped about 1600 for some leftover chicken tater tots by a lake. I had intended to camp by Saddlebag Lake just outside the park but, for multiple reasons that whole area is closed to camping. I came down Tioga Pass and stopped at Aspen Campground for the night. At camp I had my leftover fried rice and shrimp for more dinner. I relaxed and had a shower then watched some downloaded videos.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (10/05) Two Eggo waffles for breakfast with some bacon jerky. Drove the June Lake Loop road. Stopped in Mammoth Lakes for gas and at the visitor center. Decided to take the road to Benton where I connected with Highway 120 the Highway 6 into Bishop. I had a salad for lunch. I picked up some clam chowder at Von’s Market for dinner. I continued down to Big Pine and took Highway 168 out to the Ancient Bristle Cone Pines Forest. I camped at the Grandview forest service CG about 2,5 miles down from the Visitor center. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(10/06) I left camp and drove up to the Visitor Center, which is closed for the season. I had a slice of apple pie for breakfast. I hiked the 4.5 mile Methuselah Trail through the Bristle Cone Forest. Nice hike. A little frosty to start and some snow still on the trail. I drove back down to Big Pine and had a slice of pizza for lunch. I headed up toward Onion Valley and stopped early at Upper Grey’s Meadow CG. Before I left town I picked up some TriTip BBQ which I had for dinner with ramen noodles. While I was in town I caught up on some computing. Nice relaxing in camp all the rest of the afternoon. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(10/07) I prepared ham and eggs with hash browned potatoes for breakfast. Then, I drove up the road to the Onion Valley Trailhead. I hiked up to the top of Kearsarge Pass and back. Lots of other hikers both day hikers like me and PCT hikers. Also a lot of the day hikers brought their dogs and most were leashed. The hike was about 10 miles RT. Beautiful views on a clear day. Nice to get a peak over the pass into the interior of the sierras. I drove on down to Lone Pine. They had an Art In The Park event. I looked around several campgrounds and at Alabama Hills but nothing was available. I decided to not continue South and started heading back up North. I ended up spending the night at a rest area North of Independence.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (10/08) I drove up to Bishop and got my breakfast at the Pupfish Cafe, a nice avocado and clamata olives on toast. I drove up to Sabrina lake looking for fall color on the trees but it is still too early. Some yellow but no good variety of color. I stopped at Von’s market and got some soup and picked up some soup for dinner and a chicken breast for lunch. I continued up to Mammoth and drove down to Devil’s Pos tPile and hiked out to see it and on to Rainbow Falls and Lower Rainbow Falls. About a 6.5 mile hike. I was supposed to rest today but Devils Post Pile Road is only open on Saturday and Sunday and I was arriving at 1500. I finished the hike about 1715. I topped off my gas and picked up some bottled water that I had forgotten earlier. Then I continued North stopping at another Rest Area for the night.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (10/09) I had some leftover hot and sour soup for breakfast. I then drove down to look at Hot Creek Geologic Site. It is boiling hot so people are not allowed anywhere hear the creek. I then looked around nearby at possible dispersed camping sites. In fact, there are some right next to the Hot Creek parking area. After the look around, I drove North and stopped at Bodie State Park. it is a well preserved old mining town but isn’t really informative. I munched an apple for lunch. The museum was closed and i missed being able to see the stamp mill. On the way in I stopped to watch a huge flock of sheep. There was a shepherd with two collies and two sheep dogs. When I returned back it on the same road the sheep were gone and even the temporary electric fence they had by the road was gone. All in a little over two hours. I continued North and stopped at the Burger Barn in Bridgeport. Wonderhussy claims they make the best Asada Fries and I will admit they are great. I added a blackberry milkshake as well. A nice late lunch and early dinner about 1530. I then drove more North stopping for the night beside the Walker River. I had a bowl of soup later.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/10) I was up about 0600 before the sun. I knew of another car that was parked very nearby that had evidently come in while I was relaxing in the late afternoon or evening. I really didn’t hear them but saw the glow of their inside lights when I walked down to the river before going to bed. My campsite required some rock avoiding navigation to get into. Well, I only had to roll 50 feet forward and discover another neighbor. He was parked in the road and I thought was completely blocking my exit. After studying the route with my headlights blasting into his camper and after getting very close I determined that I could squeeze through and roll over what looked like troublesome rocks with their menacing shadows. Not an inch to spare. I headed North through Topaz, Gardnerville, and into Carson. I stopped in Gardnerville at a Meeks building materials and also an ACE store to look around. Lou had reported that the evaporative cooler motor had failed so I was looking for a replacement which out local stores do not carry. The online ACE website said they had one at that ACE but they didn’t. They did have one at the Dayton Nv ACE store. It was only 10 miles out of the way East. They actually had about 10 motors. Must get hot there. I stopped in Carson at a Basque cafe for breakfast about 1100. I had a homemade chorizo stuffed chili relleno with rice, beans and a fried egg. Really tasty. I bought gas at the nearby Costco store before heading on toward home. I drove through South Lake Tahoe on High 50 then turned onto highway 89 then 88. I stopped for a nap on the way down the mountain when it started to rain. I then continued on highway 12, and then 26 taking me to Stockton where I caught highway 99 to Manteca. I stopped to look around the Bass Pro Store. I had hoped to spend the night there but Manteca doesn’t allow it. I drove a little South on highway 99 and parked for the night at the Flying J truck stop. I got a slice of pizza to supplement my broccoli salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/11) Up at 0500 due a door banging into the side of the van and loud talking and cursing. I prepared to leave. I drove over to Tracy to the Winco Market and parked. I napped more until 0900. I then explored the Winco Market, Ross's and Marshal’s and then a Walmart before going to the nearby Golden Corral buffet for breakfast at 1100. Not much I could really eat there due to my starting a no fiber and other limitations for my upcoming colonoscopy. I then headed on toward home. I filled the gas tank before getting home. I relaxed some more before starting the cleanup. I drained the gray water tank, drained the fresh water tanks and refill them. Some of that water has been in the tanks for eight months. Even though I had taken three very generous showers, washed all my dishes and gotten all my drinking water, the tanks were still very full and took a long time to drain. I washed off the van with some then gravity drain the rest and it took over 30 minutes more to drain. Then I washed the van. Lou made a baked potato with ham, cheese and salsa for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (10/12) Today is a fasting day getting ready for my colonoscopy tomorrow. So no breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just relaxing all day.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (10/13) Up really early to do the final lensing. Lou drove me to Kaiser and I was checked in around 0800. My appointment was for 0900 but I was out in recovery about 0905. Lou picked me up and we were off before 1000. We stopped for breakfast in Los Altos at the Country Inn. We shared a bacon avocado omelet soufflé which came with my favorite Swedish pancakes. Back home and time to rest until the meds wear off. Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (10/14) Bacon jerky with fried eggs and hash browned potatoes for breakfast. So nie to be able to eat again. Just one day not being allowed to eat makes me appreciate it even more. I tried to do some things on the van but all I got done was measuring its height which is 8’10”. I also did some laundry from my trip. Later, I prepared some paperwork in preparation for re-registering the van as a motorhome. They want some photos and cost information both for DMV and my insurance company. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (10/15) Granola for breakfast. Lou and I made a Grocery outlet run this morning. A nice Super Taqueria lunch. Relaxed all day. Lou and Dawn prepared stuffed squash with asparagus and rice for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (10/16) Banana with granola for breakfast. I called Cole Jeep in SLO and got an appointment for Wednesday. Then I reserved a site in Oceana SP for Tuesday through Thursday nights. Weight away in the Jeep and van about 1400. We stopped at the Longhouse in Gilroy for a garlic lunch. I then took the van to the Cat Scale at a truck stop. It weighed 8360 lbs. Lou and Dawn checked the thrift stores nearby. We met at Walmart then headed on South. We stopped in Greenfield to pickup some flan for latter. We then went onto the Rest Stop South of Bradley for the night.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/17) Avocado toast with leftover garlic porkchops for breakfast. We separated ways. Lou and Dawn thrift shopping me looking around. They had lunch at a Huckleberries restaurant . I had a Costco chicken bake for lunch. We checked in to our campsite at Pismo SB Oceana CG about 2500. Dinner at Old Juan's Cantina. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/18) Leftover pancakes and bacon jerky for breakfast. We prepared the van to roll. I headed off to the Dealer for an appointment for a recall fix and an oil change. I waited un the area. I attended my Wednesday webinar in front of Vons market. I had a piece of chicken from for lunch. I walked over to a park for a nap. I got the van back at 1300 and headed home. Lou and Dawn has been out at Grover Beach thrift stores but we're back at camp relaxing. We went to A clam chowder dinner at Pismo Gish and chips. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (20/19) Strawberry and banana waffles for breakfast. It was foggy and soggy today. Lou and Dawn were off to SLO to thrift. They had lunch from Von’s market. I took a drive South to Guadalupe and Santa Maria looking for a hike. Nothing found. I had lunch at about 1400 at Francisco's Country Inn. I was back at camp about 1630. Lou and Dawn returned about 1730. Salad for dinner. <br /><b><br />Friday:</b> (10/20) We prepared to leave. Lou and Dawn took showers. We took a walk around the campground. About 1100 we went to Francisco's Country Inn for brunch. Lou and I shared a corned beef hash with some bacon. Dawn had loaded oatmeal. We then went our separate ways toward our new campsite at Morro Bay State Park. Lou wanted to join me in Bakersfield for lunch at the Rice Bowl but today it was to be 96 degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to be 85 degrees. So we reserved another night here on the coast and Morro Bay had the only sites. We were still foggy and soggy this morning in Oceana but once over the hill into SLO it was sunny and remained sunny in Morro Bay. Maybe we’ll get the batteries recharged today. We’ve had to conserve yesterday and today. I stopped at Costco for gas and REI for a look around. I found my 6 egg case that I’ve been looking for. Only 12 egg cases were to be found until now. Lou and Dawn visited a thrift store for more stuff. We met at Morro Bay SP a little after 1400 and checked in. Lou prepared an omelet for lunch. We looked around Morro Bay a little. Beans for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(10/21) Granola for breakfast. Lou and Dawn took showers and we prepared to roll. We headed toward Bakersfield on Highway 166. We met in Bakersfield at the Rice Bowl and had lunch with my cousin Judy and her husband Don and Lou’s old room mate Anita. Lou and Dawn continued North to Tulare to do more thrifting on their way home. I drove out through Glenville to Wofford Heights then North along the Kern River to Johnsondale. I considered taking Sherman Pass Road over to Kennedy Meadows and Highway 395 but decided I wanted to stay on the West side of the mountains. I stopped for the night on a forest service road between Johnsondale and California Hot Springs. (35.9425000, 118.6380000). When I stopped i started my water heater with the intent to take a shower. The, in my wisdom, I decided I could have my dinner while I waited for the hot water. Big mistake. It very quickly trimmed my main battery fuse, a 300 amp fuse. I checked my fuse stash and luckily found I had planned ahead and I did have a spare. To install it i had to move the refrigerator out of the way and open the top of the electrical compartment to get access to the fuse. Nice to see the lights back on. No second attempt to take a shower until I replace the spare fuse stock. I got to enjoy a shrimp dinner (shrimp with chow mein) for my lunch and leftover lunch for dinner. Also, the driving today and sunny skies managed to fully charge my batteries.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (10/22) A foggy morning. I prepared bacon and eggs with hash browned potatoes for breakfast. After breakfast I took a shower. I left in the fog. I drove down to Porterville. I Found a Vallarta Market where I picked up some chili rellenos. I also stopped at another Mexican restaurant and got a carnitas torta. Then I continued up Highway 65 to Exeter and took Highway 180 into Sequoia National Park. I stopped at a view point after entering the park to eat half of my torta for lunch about 1400. It was foggy everywhere in the park. After a look at the Sherman tree I headed further up in the park. No, instead of fog there was also smoke due to active burns being done. It was near 1700 when I got to the junction of Highway 190. I hadn’t seen any open campgrounds so I decided to head out of the park to find a place to spend the night. I had planned on returning into the park and continuing into Kings Canyon NP in the morning. But, there were no places to stop. Mostly private property instead of National Forest. I then decided to just head toward home. I continued down to Fresno then got on Highway 99 which soon came to a full stop. After a little creeping I took the first exit. There was a TA Truck Stop there where I thought I might spend the night but there were no other people doing the same si I decided to just take the back rod over to Firebaugh and Highway 5. I planned on spending the night there but no places to stop including the rest area which was closed. In the end I just drove home after a short stop for my chili relleno dinner in Gilroy at 1000. I was home at 1130. .<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (10/23) I spent some time in the office in the morning. I had homed to get an Amazon delivery of some spare fuses but they wont be arriving until possibly 2200 so I decided to hit the road. I had the other half of my carnitas torta for lunch. I got away a little after noon. I did some exploration near San Luis Reservoir. I tried to go up to Henry Coe’s South entrance but evidently it is closed and only rarely open. I still want to get up there and hike. I also stopped at Pacheco State Park. It also is on the list for some hikes. I also went out to Dinosaur Point which is a boat launch area on the South side of the lake. And finally, I stopped at Cottonwood Wildlife refuge. I found out I can camp there in the parking area so a possible site to go with the other hiking sites. I then continued out Highway 152 to Madera where I got gas and then spent the night at Walmart. Chili relleno for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/24) Up at 0600. I had some pie for breakfast. Since I was parked at Walmart and I remembered I could use a pair of reading glasses, I went inside and got a pair. My real glasses won’t stay in place. I’ve been looking for a strap to keep them in place. Haven’t been able to find any yet. The reading glasses work fine. I headed out of town on Highway 145 driving through the foothills and through North Fork then on into Yosemite. I drove out to Glacier Point and had lunch, some broccoli cheddar soup, with a fabulous view. Then I came back to Sentinel Dome and hike to the top for more views. It was nearing 1600 and I’ve decided i need to get settled in to cam earlier so I decided to head out 120 and look for a spot. I did stop in the valley to take some photos and watch the El Capitan climbers. As I approached the exit booth on Highway 120 i noticed Hodgdon Meadows campground and decided to see if they had a site. They did so I settled in about 1730, before it got dark. I had BBQ baby back ribs and Spanish rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (10/25) Apple pie for breakfast. I drove out of Yosemite NP and went down to Hetch Hetchy area of Yosemite reentering the park. I hiked out to see some waterfalls. I went by Wamata Falls and on to Rancheria Falls. A nice 13 mile hike on a nice day. The mosquitos and flies were a little bothersome but a storm trying to come in provided a nice breeze occasionally and provided some relief. It also provided the threat of rain that did start as I drove away from the parking area. Lunch was the usual trail lunch of tuna salad and crackers. After a nice shower at a pullout on the highway I drove further down the mountain to another pullout for dinner and to spend the night, It had some cell signal which their first location did not. I had BBQ baby back ribs and Spanish rice again for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (10/26) Apple pie for breakfast. Did I mention that I ended up with two apple pies in my refrigerator for this trip. I left my campsite in the dark of morning departing at 0630. I drove down Highway 120 to Highway 49 and stopped in Sonora for a walk. Then on to Highway 4 through Stockton and Clayton then caught Highway 680 to Highway 84 and on home. I stopped for a walk along the way East of Clayton at the Round Valley Regional Preserve. I picked up Lunch about 1400 in Union City at my favorite Honey Walnut Shrimp Chinese restaurant. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. I prepared the Van to leave tomorrow morning to Dave’ Ranch. Lou and Dawn were going to go but decided not to at the last minute. I have to go because I’m the host. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(10/27) I prepared pork roast with fried eggs for breakfast. About 0930 I headed off in the van to Dave’s Ranch. I did stop at Super Taqueria for a super burrito and at King egg roll for some egg rolls before heading over Mt Hamilton on Highway 130. There was some bad signage that implied the road may be closed. Coming down the back side the County was doing some repaving and I was passing through during their lunch break, otherwise it would have been closed. I arrived at the ranch gate about 1220 but it was locked. I decided to prepare some paper plate signs while I waited. A rancher came out the gate and left his lock unlocked for me but I was hesitant to go inside and not be sure of a way out. Dave and his wife Lou showed up shortly and we went in. Markus was right behind us. I settled in. I did some weeding around the van and picked up the cow pies near the van and around the ranch house. I also cleaned off the picnic tables. We were surprised when one of the other owners fly his plane in. When he was taking off to leave, Pavel and Ludemilla arrived. Pavel. Ludemilla, Dave, Lou and I took a walk out by the old homestead cabin. When we were returning, Henry met us on the trail. I had some cottage cheese and cold cuts for lunch. Dinner was half of the burrito I picked up. In the evening we had a campfire and Tom drove in. We enjoyed the campfire until about 2200. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (10/28) I took a morning walk before breakfast at 0700. Then I fried some eggs and pork roast slabs for breakfast. At about 0930 Pavel. Ludamilla, Tom, Henry, and I walked the Ridge Trail. Back at the Van, Lou came bay to say Dave needed some help with a water leak in his trailer. Just where the leak was, wasn’t easy to find. Eventually some blue towels determined it was the pump leaking. When I got back to the van I found out that Anna and Chinse had arrived and had actually tried to catch up to us on the ridge trail. I had my remaining burrito half for lunch. Later I took Chinse and Anna on a narrated hike to the homestead cabin. The hikers BBQ’d lots of stuff for dinner and also had some taco makings. I brought some egg rolls as appetizers. Then a nice campfire in the evening with Scott, Tim, Clint, Frank, Darlene, Tom, Brad, Dave, Lou<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (10/29) Granola for breakfast. I helped cleanup the house and outside. I left the ranch about 1000. Just some of the biker group remaining. I thanked Dave for having us for the weekend. I returned via Mt Hamilton Road. Back down in San Jose, I called to order a pizza at House Of Pizza. I picked it up and relaxed in the parking lot while eating some pizza and catching up on email. Then I took a nap before heading on home. A little van clean up and more napping before BBQ ribs with corn and tater tots for dinner.<br /><br />Attendees: Bikers =Clint, Brad, Scott, Tim, Frank, Markus, Darlene.

I worked in the office all day cleaning off my desk and paying bills. Later in the morning Lou and I went to Costco and Dawn visited a bookstore. When we returned home we enjoyed tamales for lunch. I was back to work in the office at home. Chili beans ala Lou for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/31) Leftover pizza for breakfast and lunch. I headed off to the DMV office in Lps Gatos to re-register the van as a motorhome rather than a commercial van. I waited through the line and got the van inspected to confirm it was converted. Then I waited through the line to turn in the paper work but I forgot to bring the title sheet so I had to return home to find it. Then back to the line to complete the change. I got new plates and tags and turned in the old plates. Mission accomplished. Back home for a nap. Leftovers for dinner. Cottage cheese, yogurt, pork roast and a spring roll.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-64424074415071400772023-09-01T15:58:00.046-07:002024-01-04T17:20:32.999-08:00September 2023<b>Friday: </b>(09/01) Granola for breakfast. I started work on the Van. I drilled all the holes that might be needed in the seat belt frame for the belt attachment and the cabinetry attachments. Then I painted the frame and let it dry in the sun. Back inside I worked on the tax return and managed to finish it and send it off. With that tax accomplished, I needed a reward. So we went to Bajis Restaurant in Mountain View where I had a nice salad for lunch. I drilled a piolet hole through the floor and it came out inside a box cross connect beam and was not accessible. I was afraid of that and thought I might just drill at an angle to avoid it but the floor is only 1.5 inches thick so that would not have moved me far enough. I considered some alternatives all of which seemed to involve a lot of work like removing the refrigerator again and also removing the batteries. The brilliance struck and I cut a hole in the side of the electrical cabinet to allow me to move the bolt hole 1.5 inches and provide enough clearance. In doing so I also improved the air intake flow to the heater which can now find its way directly from the electrical cabinet. It did require a longer bolt than I had purchased yesterday so I then made a run to Outdoor Supply Hardware for more bolts and stuff. Lots more that I need but a variety of sizes. I installed the frame and belts and reinstalled the heater cover and cabinet boards. All of them required a little trim here and there but it all fit back together with all the original storage spaces. I did have to cut the top of one side of the top drawer to allow it to clear the seat belt bolts. We had Dawn try it out and all is well not. Now we can head out for a little trip and I can maybe also make a fall run out to the zEastern Sierras. Chili beans with ramen noodles for dinner. The van is now functionally complete. Everything that is needed for three people to travel and camp for extended periods is ready. There are only little finishing touches left. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (09/02) Some of Dawn’s rice donuts with honey for breakfast. I moved a lot of stuff out of the van to make room for Lou and Dawn to move in for a little trip. All went well with my plans until lou mentioned that she needs her electric scooter. That takes up half the storage in the garage and leaves some irregular other space. We all took a little shopping drie in the van. Dawn’s first time in the 3rd passenger seat. We stopped for lunch at Aqui’s Restaurant in Cupertino. We were looking for appropriately sized containers to utilize the remaining storage space. We finally decided some duffel bags will likely be best. Back home a nice nap helped. Dawn made some chicken celery soup with rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(09/03) Granola and banana for breakfast. A typical slow Sunday morning. About 1100 I headed off in the van. I went to West Marine and bought a fan for the van with a credit that Lou had. I also stopped at REI to look around. I found some sun shirts like I have that were on sale and bought three of them. I then picked up a veggie burrito for lunch. I visited the Outdoor Supply Hardware store in Redwood City. They are even better stocked than the one in Sunnyvale which was unbelievably well supplied. Then I needed a nap for a while. Finally I visited Costco for a look around. I picked up a chicken bake there for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(09/04) I picked up a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin at Happy Donuts as I walked over to Bol park to see the donkeys. I walked out Los Robles Avenue, came by the donkeys andwa;ked through Bol Park onto Hanover Street and onto the Stanford University Campus. After a quick visit to the restroom at the bookstore I enjoyed an Elephant Chia latte at Cupa Cafe. Then I walked over to the Cactus Garden. Still some flowers as well as lots of seed pods from previous flowering. Then on through the Stanford Shopping Mall to the Caltrain station to catch as bus home. 6.6 miles walked. Back home I had some of Dawn fresh baked pinto bean pecan pie as well as my leftover veggie burrito for lunch. Later, I went to the Sunnyvale Target Store, then the Cupertino Target Store looking for more stacking yard chairs. We picked up two yesterday and I found three more today. Most of our yard chairs have been in the sun too long and or had too many seatings of heavy people (me). Lou prepared chili topped baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(09/05) Granola for breakfast. I headed over to pete’s Palo Alto house to help him remove a fence. We removed the rear and side fences, posts and concrete post bases. We finished up much earlier than I expected at 1140. Pete brought our lunch of a roast beef sandwich and pear. After lunch I headed home. After a shower I relaxed for a while.I did cut a hole in the refrigerator cabinet to allow tying in the seat cushion and cut and beveled the toilet anchor knobs. Leftover chicken celery soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (09/06) We went to A Good Morning restaurant for breakfast. We were all bust packing and preparing to leave on out first three person outing in the van. Lots to fit in and lots tht would be going in the motorhome has to stay home when traveling in the van. We had thought we might be leaving later today but decided to just get ready and leave tomorrow morning. No lunch and leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (09/07) We finalized our preparation to leave but didn’t get away until after 1000. We stopped at the cheapest gas station in the county on our way in Sunnyvale on our way to Gilroy. We stopped for breakfast at the Longhouse Restaurant there. Then on to Greenfield where I needed a nap while Lou and Dawn had some flan and did some shopping. We turned off Hwy 101 onto Jolon Road and past Lake San Antonio and Lake Nacimiento. Bothe lakes are county parks so we didn’t go in to look around since we wouldn’t have been staying there because it was over 80 degrees. We returned to Hwy 101 in Paso Robles then went down to a Von’s market in Atascadero where we picked up soup for Lou and Dawn dinner and I picked up some food at Panda Express. Then we headed West on Hwy 41 stopping about halfway to Morro Bay at the Cerro Alto Campground For the night.We enjoyed our neighbor’s campfire in the evening. This was our first night with three of us in the van. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (09/08) BLT sandwiches for breakfast by the neighbor’s campfire. We decided the current campground would be nice for a future visit but our neighbor is too chatty and we were headed to SLO anyway so we left camp about 1040. Note: the best campsites seem to be 18 and 19 that were currently closed due to tree maintenance being done. We head West on Hwy 41 to Morro Bay then up Hwy 1 to El Churro campground. We secured a campsite, #20, for three nights. After throwing our chairs out and installing a tablecloth, we head on down to Grover Beach. We stopped at Francisco's Country Kitchen for lunch. Lou and I shared a corned beef hash lunch and Dawn had a peanut butter cream pie. Then we visited several thrift stores as well as an RV supply store and a hardware store. I picked up a bullseye bubble level and a longer gray water hose. My gray water discharge is on the right side rather than the normal left side so I have to pass the hose under the van at a normal hookup campsite. We returned to camp about 1615 after being stuck in a traffic jam on Hwy 101 which carried on on all the side streets we tried. Ramen noodles with chicken for dinner. Interesting discovery while preparing dinner. I don’t have a can opener in the van, yet. On one of my nightly risings to pee I discovered the light on the toilet indicating it was full was on so we had to take a stroll to the restroom instead.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(09/09) Granola for breakfast. In the morning I discovered the wood chips had possibly plugged the urine drain. Not sure if that is the only problem though. After Lou and Dawn took a shower with all our quarters, we headed off to Francisco's again for a BBQ lunch. Excellent. Then a little shopping visiting Walmart and the Dollar Store. We went by the last thrift store we visited yesterday and found our step stool still there in the gutter, not damaged and not taken. Then on the way home we stopped at a couple more thrift stores. Back at camp, we had leftover BBQ and some additions for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (09/10) Lou prepared ham, eggs and leftover rice for breakfast. We relaxed at home in camp all day. Lou and Dawn relaxed in camp. I relaxed by taking a 6 mile hike up to Eagle Rock and a loop through the park and past a youth ranch and the community college and back to camp. After some real relaxation and cool down, I prepared grilled cheese sandwiches for our lunch. I took a shower in the afternoon. Lou and Dawn prepared tostados for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(09/11) Loou and I took a walk around the camp and up to the golf Course. Dawn relaxed in camp. Then we broke camp and left at about 1030. We stopped at the cafe at the golf course next door to the campground for breakfast. We then headed down to Oceana to the Oceana County Park and got a campsite for a couple of nights. We had an early dinner at Old Juan’s Cantina nearby.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (09/12) Lou and I took a walk to the beach. Leftovers for breakfast. Off to SLO to look at Tractor Supply and the Farm Store before another thrift store. Then we returned to Pismo Beach for a visit to Pismo Fish and Chips for a late lunch. relaxed the rest of the afternoon in camp. Dawn doesn’t feel well. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(09/13) Lou made tacos for breakfast. We slowly prepared to roll departing about 1030. We stopped for gas in SLO and at thrift stores in Atascadero and Paso Robles. Next we stopped in Greenfield for some flan for a snack. Then dinner at the Longhouse in Gilroy, their great garlic pork chops. Back home about 1800. I unpacked some things from the van. Lou and Dawn gave Dawn a covid test and it was positive. Second test was the same so likely we will all have it soon. <br /><br />The three people in a van inaugural camping trip worked well. We only camoed one night without hookups in a Forest Service campground midway between Atascadero and Morro Bay. From there we moved to El Churro County Park for three nights with full hookups where we only used the electric except for dumping our gray water tank before we left. Then down to Oceana County Park for two nights, again full hookups using only the electric. On our first night in Oceana the battery on the inflator pump was dead. It hadn’t charged because the wall charger was off. So I slept in the front instead of Dawn by placing lots of stuff between the seats as a bridge to make the bed. We ate out about half of the time. All in all, we survived nicely. We did not use the inside shower though so that remains to be tested.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(09/14) Granola for breakfast. I had a dental appointment at 1000. I picked up my lunch at Panda Express. On the way back home I stopped at Marshalls, Ross’s, Walmart Neighborhood Market, and picked up Lou’s lunch at Bajis Cafe. Relaxed all afternoon. Lou prepared chili baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (09/15) Granola for breakfast. Hot and sour soup for lunch. Chinese food for dinner. Lou and I tested positive for Covid this morning. I had tro make two trips to the Kaiser Pharmacy for some Paxlovid. Unfortunately Lou’s prescription took hours, mine 30 minutes. While out I got ga and some Chinese food. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(09/16) Some hot and sour soup for breakfast. I did a couple of tasks on the van. I swapped two more USB wall chargers with USBc-PD. Chinese food for lunch. Chili ramen noodles for dinner. Otherwise relaxed all day.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(09/17) Hot and sour soup for breakfast. Tostadas with carnitas and pico de gallo for lunch. Dinner from Pizza Chicao. Relaxing and recovering were the rule of the day.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(09/18) Lou made an omelet for breakfast. I took the first inside van shower this morning. I had finished dressing and bent over to throw something in the trash and a nose bleed started. After two hours trying to stop it, Lou drove me to the emergency room at Kaiser in Santa Clara. She dropped me off and skedaddled. I was checked in and was in the waiting room for two hours before being seen. On check in then did provide a welcome nose clothespin so i didn’t have to keep my nose pinched. They were extremely busy and the triage set where you were in line. I guess bleeding comes right after heart attacks and breathing problems. The guard said the longest wait would be 4.5 hours. After 5.5 hours of bleeding their 5th attempt at stopping the bleed finally worked. They installed a balloon up my nose and inflated it. With a little medication they sent me home. I had to wait for Lou to come from home to pick me up. I get to enjoy this balloon for three days then they see what they need to do to make a real fix. <br /><br />I have never had nose bleeds and this started after starting the Paxlovid pills to treat my Covid. So now I get to relax for a few days and do nothing. No lunch. Leftover pizza for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(09/19) Leftover omelet for breakfast. Mostly relaxed in or on the bed except for some tea in the backyard arbor. Carnitas, tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch. Cream of tomato soup for dinner. Today I had two nose bleeds in my previously well behaved left nostril. It took an hour to stop the first one so I didn’t end up back at the emergency room. Fortunately I finished the Paxlovid pills this evening. Hopefully they were the cause of these bleeds.<br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (09/20) Soft boiled eggs for breakfast. I made a doctor's appointment for this morning because of blood in my stool. Like just swallowing too much blood for the past few days but possibly another bleed somewhere other than my nose. My doctor checked me and ordered some blood tests and off I went. Lou got her flu shot while I was at the lab. My nose has been better since yesterday. Leftover pizza for lunch. I’m still trying to control myself and rest. More pizza for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(09/21) Granola for breakfast. I had an appointment at Kaiser Santa Clara to get the balloon removed from my nose. I got my flu shot then as well. Leftover tuna noodles for lunch. My nose bleed returned in the afternoon. Tamale pie for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(09/22) Granola for breakfast. I was awake much of the night because my nose bleed returned in earnest. When the ENT clinic opened at 0900 I called for an appointment to have it looked at again. Leftover chili beans for lunch. I had a 1530 appoint at Kaiser and they cauterized my nose. Seems like it’s finally fixed.So nice to finally be able to b;ow my nose again. Now, hopefully, the headache and toothache caused by the procedure go away soon. Chinese food from Lucky Bistro for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(09/23) I walked over to Happy Donut this morning. I got a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin and a donut for my breakfast. Feeling good. That didn’t last. I had a nose bleed later in the morning. Fortunately, it stopped with the addition of an Afrin soaked cotton ball. I removed that after a while and that cork lasted the rest of the day with my limited movements. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Lou made French toast and bacon for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (09/24) Leftover French toast with peanut butter and jam for breakfast. Leftover hot and sour soup for lunch. We took the van out for a drive up to Foothills Park. Ham and cheese sandwich for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (09/25) A ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I had a nice day with no nose bleeds. I worked on preparing a slide show that presents the history of the van construction. I posted it to Facebook. Broccoli salad for lunch. Dawn’s soup for dinner. Lou was very busy today doing a couple of tasks I'd normally be doing. The kitchen sink is clogged and she tried to clear it without success yet. She also drained the tanks on the motorhome. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (09/26) Granola for breakfast. It rained a little this morning. We visited ACE Hardware for a pipe cap and Grocery Outlet for some drinking water. Lou was busy. Since I’m not allowed (by her) to lift or bend over, she climbed the ladder on the roof and inserted the hose into the kitchen sink vent pipe. We got to try out my new telescoping ladder in which she had no confidence. It all worked. A minute or so applying pressure into the pipe and water started flowing again. We picked up super nachos for lunch from Tacos El Gruellense. That pretty much did her in for the day. She did start sauerkraut, potatoes and sausages in the crock pot for later dinner. I was busy blowing my nose all day. Nice to not have any more nose bleeds.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (09/27) Leftover nachos and some strawberries for breakfast. I attended my usual Wednesday webinar. Leftover Dawn bean soup for lunch. I had grand plans of doing a shopping run after lunch but decided I wouldn’t enjoy it due to already being fatigued. Some baked salmon and ramen noodles for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (09/28) I felt pretty good today. I had granola for breakfast. Dawn was having a problem with a driver for her use of Adobe Premiere Pro. i spent much of the morning cleaning up her computer, updating windows, Premiere pro, Audition. And make sure her antivirus was up to date. The cleanup and updates fixed the driver problem. Then I was off. I picked up lunch at Panda Express. Then I was off to Milpitas Super Walmart to pickup some things. My shopping run was about 70% successful. I hurried back toward home about 1430 to avoid getting stuck in traffic. I stopped at a Grocery Outlet in Sunnyvale on my way home. Leftover sauerkraut potatoes and sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (09/29) I had a slice of apple pie and bacon jerky for breakfast. I was acting chauffeur today. I drove Dawn to her PT appointment. I then did some shopping at Nob Hill and Smart and Final markets while I waited for Dawn. I also visited Marshalls Home Goods store and found a small saucepan for the van. I also found a can opener with big handles for Lou but she actually didn’t need the opener but wanted some big handled potato peelers. Another day. On the way home we picked up lunch from Lucky Chinese Bistro. Leftover bean soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(09/30) I had a slice of apple pie for breakfast. Broccoli salad for lunch. Mostly relaxed all day. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. Later in the evening, Dave Smith emailed me and said he’d like to reschedule the Ranch Weekend this weekend due to expected extra high temperatures. I changed the event on Meetup and sent out emails.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-18653108633842360652023-08-01T15:56:00.064-07:002023-09-25T17:24:54.237-07:00August 2023<b>Tuesday: </b>(08/01) I made an omelet with ham, onions and cheese for breakfast. I met my fellow hikers for a hike at Foothills Nature Preserve. This hike tours most of the trails in the park except the Loas Trancos Trail. About 7.4 miles with a 1400’ climb. A very enjoyable day for this hike with great views, and interesting hikers. Lunch in the shade with a great view and a seat for everyone at the vista point, another plus. After the hike I had Panda Express for lunch. BBQ ribs with green beans from the garden and finger smashed potatoes fried in butter.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(08/02) Leftover omelet for breakfast. I cut and installed the shower side walls in the van. I also wired up the air conditioner but I had ordered the wrong connectors so I wasn't able to upgrade the main buss feed cables. I was able to test run the AC but need to upgrade the cables to be able to run other things. It ran for about three hours in the afternoon and used less than 10% of the battery capacity. BLT sandwiches for lunch with some tomatoes from Lou’s garden. Lou made chili rellenos for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (08/03) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. Chinese food from Wok on restaurant in Sunnyvale for lunch and dinner. Last night i left the air conditioner on the van running set at 78 degrees. This morning the battery was only down to 88%. Probably only ran the fan all night. At 0930 the AC compressor kicked on. The AC ran all day and still recharged the battery to 99%+. In the afternoon I kicked it down to 72 degrees and it was at that temperature in 30 minutes. I then set it to 75 degrees. 72 is too cold, 78 is too warm. I also added the caulk tape to the rear seams of the shower. Unfortunately, one ended up with a ripped corner in two places. I dashed off to Lowe’s and got more tape and replaced it. I also cut a piece of rain gutter and installed it as the threshold. And, finally I cut a bunch of pieces from the scrape of the shower walls and extended the side walls out ¼ to ¾” to the front edge of the walls. The panels were just 24” and the walls 24.5 inch with the rear wall of the shower slanting in a half inch in the first 4 feet and then 4 more inches from there to the top. Now, with the fillers, the shower door can be installed over the patches and still be nice and level and securely glued to the walls. So, tomorrow, maybe I can get the shower door installed and any final caulking done and have a complete shower except for reinstalling the valve and installing a vent.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(08/04) Granola for breakfast. I upgraded the cables to the main busbar in the van. Then I cleaned up the van and put lots of tools and leftovers away. Lou, Dawn and I headed off to Milpitas and had lunch at the Black Bear Diner. Then there was the customary visit to a nearby thrift store before finally heading over to the Super Walmart there. The purpose of our trip was to return the microwave we bought a couple of weeks ago. Lou doesn’t like the fact it doesn’t have any number keys on the control keyboard. We also did some other grocery shopping there before heading home. I had left the air conditioner running in the van. It basically doesn’t use any power from the batteries most of the day when it is sunny. In fact, it actually charges the battery some. I reinstalled the refrigerator after having tested for hot terminals and connections. None found. Snacks and leftovers for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(08/05) I made French toast and sausage for breakfast. Today, I installed the shower door. Works nice. I also reinstalled the shower valve. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to stop a leak in the cold water valve connection so a little redesign is needed to take the strain off the piping. I made a run to Lowe’s to return some excess materials and look for a solution to the leak. I came up with using flexible hoses instead of piping to the valves. Unfortunately Lowe’s didn’t have the type needed both in threads and length so Amazon will be coming to the rescue. I stopped for lunch at Super Taqueria. We picked up dinner at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. Lou and Dawn’s prime rib and my lasagna. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(08/06) I cut out some trim pieces of plywood to trim the front of the shower and for the shower ceiling. And I sanded and started varnishing them. I received the flex hoses for the shower valve but when I located the drop ear ells I thought I had, they were for ¾” pex to ½” pipe thread. No good for my needs. Another Amazon order and day of delay. Mostly relaxed the rest of this hot day. Leftover French toast and sausage for breakfast. Leftover lasagna for lunch. Lou made BLT sandwiches for dinner. I removed the sink in preparation to fix the piping. <br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (08/07) I was out early and applied another coat of varnish to the shower trim pieces. Then I made fried eggs and bacon for breakfast. Later another coat of varnish applied. Lou made salads for lunch. Late in the afternoon I received the parts I needed to fix the shower piping and then reinstalled the sink. While it was out, I took measurements for the permanent counter top and swing up table. Just before dinner I applied a final coat of varnish. Lou made BBQ shredded pork over tater tots for dinner. Desert at Dawn’s some kind of carrot pudding, something like pumpkin custard.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(08/08) Chili beans for breakfast. I installed the trim on the front of the shower and prepared the shower ceiling to be installed when it’s dry. I had to make a trip to ACE for some screws. I had lunch at the new location of the Country Inn Restaurant in Los Altos. After lunch I made a board to mount the compost toilet on when it is in the shower space. It should keep the toilet in place bouncing down the road. Its paint is also drying. Leftover lasagna for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(08/09) Leftover omelet and hash browns from yesterday shared with Lou for breakfast. I painted a final coat of paint on the toilet mounting board and fitted the anchor brackets on it. I needed some sort of padding between the board and the shower base. I tried a towel but was looking for something better. I went out shopping and started with lunch from Panda Express. I was looking for a new bigger swimming noodle as a bump edge for the frame on the storage shelf over the front seats. I was also looking for the shower floor padding. I found the padding at Big Lots but never found a swimming noodle. They must be out of season. I also stopped at Trader Joes for bread and Walmart for some things. I also tried Bruce Bauer Lumber looking for cabinet door slide extrusions. None found. My gray caulk arrived from Amazon as I returned home. But, I rested the rest of the day. Lou made dinner of finger potatoes, tomatoes from the garden, onions, and ground roast beef for dinner. After dinner I prepared the van for use for tomorrow's hike and restocked my pack with water and snacks.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (08/10) I enjoyed my pre-hike ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I drove the van to my hike today. We hike many of the trails at Russian Ridge Open Space preserve, about 6 miles and 876 feet of climb. Nice hike with a light breeze and clear sky and views. 14 fellow hikers joined me. After the hike, I prepared ramen noodles and chili for lunch. This could be a new post hike tradition. After the hike and a nice shower at home, I relaxed the rest of the day. Lou and Dawn made peach blintzes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(08/11) Granola for breakfast. I caulked the van shower, white on the inside and gray to match the door on the outside. While it dried I didn’t want to get saw dust on the fresh caulk nor drive the van and shake it loose so I did nothing else the rest of the day. Any excuse. In the afternoon, I took a drive. I looked for the cabinet door slides at a couple of places then got lunch at Super Taqueria about 1530. I made a Grocery Outlet Market run on my bike in the evening. No dinner needed.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(08/12) Leftover blintzes and sausage for breakfast. Typical slow Saturday morning watching TV and some Youtube. Later I got outside and removed the sink in the van and cut out the new countertop and the counter extension. I routed the edges and sanded them then added a couple of coats of teak oil. I’m not sure how the finish will turn out but I'm hoping it works well. Lou made a salad for lunch. Spaghetti for dinner. Later I helped Lou assemble her new yard swing bed/couch. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(08/13) The usual slow Sunday morning. I gave my countertop boards a light sanding and a light coat of teak oil. They dried in the sun all day. I also cleaned all the VHB tape residue off the bottom of the sink lip. Still waiting for the ½” VHB tape to arrive to reinstall the sink and install the flip up countertop extension. I weeded Lou’s garden for her. Ham, cheese, and tomato sandwich for breakfast. Lou’s tomatoes from her garden are excellent. A late lunch at Aqui’s restaurant in Cupertino. Lou made potato salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (08/14) Granola for breakfast. I took my bike out for a ride. I stopped at Whole Foods downtown for some compost bags then on to the Arizona Garden at Stanford. I was surprised to find a lot of cacti in bloom this late in the summer. I stopped for a chai latte at the Coupa Cafe there. Lou and Dawn were off to Half Moon Bay to look around and be cool. Waiting for my VHB tape to reinstall the sink. I worked in the office updating my laptop and some programs in anticipation of getting back to work on my tax return that needs to be completed in the next couple of weeks. Chili size for lunch. After a nap when I finally got to work in the afternoon, I washed the van, my car, and Lou’s Jeep when she returned. Potato salad, cottage cheese and ham for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (08/15) I prepared toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. I then installed the new sink countertop and the flip up counter extension. It is also the table top for the reversed front passenger seat. Lou and Dawn were off to an appointment and lunch. I took the van off for an outing. I picked up lunch at China Wok restaurant in Sunnyvale. I then stopped by Lowe's to see about getting some paint to match the stained plywood color. They can’t get a color to match a single spot but just get an average of about a 1” spot. Not a good enough way to match so I didn't get any paint. I then went out to Vasona park and updated my Senior pass vehicles registered to use my pass. I then spent the rest of the day there and worked on the computer. I also ordered some more materials for the van. I do need to replace the breaker from the Solar charger to the battery. While it is rated at 80 amps and is supposed to be a 75 amp fuse, it still trips when it is sunny and I’m driving. It obviously can’t take the full 50 amos continuously. I’// be trying an MANL fuse like it is supposed to be to see it that doesn’t trip. I had leftover Chinese food for dinner there before heading home.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(08/16)Granola for breakfast. I drove all the way over to Bol Park, about ¼ mile to visit the Barron Park Donkeys. I parked there and worked on the computer then had leftover Chinese food for lunch. After lunch I supplemented it with a visit to Harry’s Hofbrau for some soup. Then on up the hill in San Carlos to the Eaton Park Trailhead. I ended up only taking a nap there.Back home we had leftover chicken artichokes over rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(08/17) Granola for breakfast. I headed out to Sunnyvale in the van stopping at their city park. I started on the tax preparation but soon found out I wasn't nearly as far done as I thought and I needed some information from home. I returned home and collected information. Shortly, my 5G Home router from T-mobile arrived and I set it up, easy peasy and we were connected. I fired up two tv’s streaming and then did a speed test with 165 down and 35 up which is many times faster than our Sonic fiber connection. We’ll see how steady the connection is and whether the speed is high enough during congested periods. The speed actually went to 205 down and 90 up about 8 pm. No momentary connection losses. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. I did some more work on the computer in the afternoon before a nice nap. Dawn made tuna stuffed tomatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(08/18) Granola for breakfast. I drove the van up to Foothills Preserve and parked at the vista point all day. I had chicken and cheese toast for lunch. It was a cheap frozen item from a Grocery outlet and pretty good for $2. Leftovers for dinner. I had chicken salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(08/19) I prepared ham and eggs for breakfast. Then I headed off in the van to a nearby park and worked on the computer. The morning ended up being a wash because I ended up scrambling my data. I had to start the importation after lunch. I left the park and picked up lunch at Panda Express. I do like their super greens as a substitute for my rice or noodles. After lunch I parked on the Stanford campus and continued work on the computer. Because I was parked in the shade I didn't need the air conditioner today even though my thermometer in the van said it was 81 degrees up near the ceiling. I returned home at about 1730. I prepared some chili on ramen noodles for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (08/20) The usual slow Sunday morning. I got oyt to work on the van after 1000. I removed the refrigerator and got into the electrical compartment to replace the circuit breaker that feeds the solar output to the batteries with a fuse. The CB keeps tripping. Hopefully the fuse responds more slowly and doesn’t trip. Lou prepared BBQ ribs, baked potatoes and asparagus for lunch about 1300. I had managed to skip breakfast this morning so I really enjoyed her lunch. I installed two USBc-PD outlets in the van, one by the sink and one by the dinette. They should be good enough to power my laptop computers. Tomato and cheese sandwiches for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(08/21) Granola for breakfast. I did some cleanup of the back yard. I also collected some tools for a project tomorrow. Then I was off in the van. I stopped at Harbor Freight for a few things. I also stopped at Marshall’s and found a nice big frying pan to replace my aged non-stick big pan. 12.5 inch pans have not been available for a while. I also stopped at Safeway while I waited for Cost Plus World Market to open at 1100. I wanted to check out World Market for a birthday card. As it turns out I found the perfect BD card at Safeway for a fellow hiker's 80th birthday Wednesday. I also picked up some ciabatta buns. The rain from the effects of hurricane Hillary started. Lunch from the China Wok On restaurant. My hang later was Rengstorff Park in Mountain View. My slab of wood for the dinette table arrived today. We had Dawn’s lentil soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (08/22) P prepared a ham egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I then headed off to Meet pete Anderson at his Mountain View house. He needed some help removing a wooden deck, an ell shaped deck about 15x20 and 15x30. We finished removing it and piling the debris in the driveway about 1300. Hus wife Debbie made tuna sandwiches for lunch. Back home I took a nice shower and relaxed for a while. Later I opened up my new telescoping A ladder. It is much heavier than I thought it would be. After some rest I took the van out to get a drink (gas). I stopped at Walmart on the way home and picked up a few things. Back home I had leftover Chinese food for dinner’<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(08/23) Granola for breakfast. I headed off early to Santa Cruz for a hike at Wilder Ranch State Park. I met many of my fellow hikers and leaders at a special hike to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of our hikers. It was only a 5.5 mile out and back hike along the bluff above the beach. After the hike there were lots of goodies and birthday cupcakes to enjoy.After the hike I stopped at Safeway and got some clam chowder then drove home. While I was gone my Tuktek kayak arrived. More clam chowder for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(08/24) Tea in the backyard to start the day. Then I brought out my new folding kayak and assembled it for the first time. It is a Tucktek kayak, bright yellow. Fortunately, it was easy to assemble, just a few latches here and there. I don’t have a lake at home so I just sat in the kayak on the lawn for the inaugural photo. The life vest that came with it can be adjusted to fit me but looks more like a bra on me. I’ll be needing to get an appropriate vest when I can. Also tha paddle that came with it won’t lock together so I’ll need to make some adjustments to it or get it replaced. For now it is just tucked away in the van garage. I hope to try it on the water soon. Next I had some granola and a banana for a late breakfast. After breakfast, I got out the table saw and cut the new ash wood panel into the appropriate table top size for the van dinette and the outside tables. Then I routed the edges, sanded them and then added two coats of teak oil. With those tasks done, I then took the van away from the house and parked near stanfords dish hill to work on the computer undisturbed. Upon arrival there I sliced up a tomato from the garden and topped with cheese for lunch. I made some progress on data collection for our tax return. Just as I was about to return home, the radio clicked off. Evidently the starter battery was having one of it’s spells. I had been running the radio for a while but the solar charger should have been trickle charging the starter battery. I thought maybe a fuse had blown and checked the fuse at the battery but it was still good. The battery voltage was about 10.1 volts hut the solar charger still wasn’t charging it. Luckily eventually the battery came up to 11 volts and I was able to start the van. I have to believe I have a bad cell in the battery so I will be replacing it tomorrow. I had been putting off replacing it until I started driving it which I now am but it had been nice and caused no problems since the solar charger was connected to it, until now. Dawn made some nice vegetable soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(08/25) Lou made soft boiled eggs for breakfast. She wasn’t feeling right so after breakfast I dropped her off at Kaiser Santa Clara to get checked out. I was in the van so, just like most recent days, I found a nice place to park and worked on the taxes. I’m still in the “data collection mode”. When she called a couple of hours later, we returned home. Along the way, we stopped at Togo’s sandwich shop to pick up lunch. I then drove out to a Super Walmart in Milpitas. They had a replacement battery for the van which I bought to install tomorrow. I then stopped at a park near home and did more data collection and took a nap. Leftover vegetable soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(08/26) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van installing the new starter battery. While the project looked formidable, it was actually fairly easy. The van seemed to have more zip when starting the engine now. I then installed the dinette table top. That involved removing the wall panel to prepare for a good anchoring of the panel so it can hold the cantilever table. I had to make wa run to ACE to get some appropriate sized metric bolts and some tee-nuts.I ended up using the bolts but not the tee-nuts because the table seemed to be sturdy enough without them. If the table comes loose then I’ll add the tee-nuts later. We all went to the Country Inn Restaurant in Los Altos for lunch. A nap was needed after lunch. After nap time, I installed the outside flip up table on the sink counter. Leftover lunch, some bacon and avocado omelet with Swedish pancakes, for dinner. I add a green salad to the leftovers. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (08/27) Relaxed with the two regular morning TV shows, CBS Sunday Morning and Face The Nation. Then I hopped in the van and headed South. I needed some gas so headed to Sunnyvale to the cheapest gas station anywhere nearby, on Evelyn and Bernardo. Then on South to San Jose. I hadn’t had any breakfast yet.I have been obsessed for a few days wanting a House of Pizza “Confusion pizza. I arrived there at 1030. I was more than pleasantly surprised to check the hours and they opened at 1030. How much is the Lotto? I ordered my pizza and waited in the van. It only took 30 minutes and I picked it up and enjoyed half of the “Very Small” pizza. Very Small is about a 15” pizza. How efficient, breakfast and lunch together. I hung around a while then headed back toward home. I stopped at Washington Park in Sunnyvale to work on the computer. Soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(08/28) I installed the magnetic latch on the sink tilt up table. Works well. I then escaped to the Vista Hill of Foothills Preserve where I had some leftover pizza for lunch. I then worked on our tax return. I completed the first draft and then returned home after lunch. I collected a little more information and then completed the second draft which may be the final version after a thorough review. We had dinner at Dawn’s place. She made some lentil black bean chili for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(08/29) Scrambled eggs and cheese with bacon for breakfast. I, finally, got to work on the third passenger seat belt anchors. I started by disassembling much of the third set and cut some of the pieces to allow the metal frame to fit within the constraints of the installed heater and drawers. I then cut the major metal pieces and fit them in place. Lou prepared tuna stuffed tomatoes for lunch. Then, I opened up the replacement welder, which I hope works better than its predecessor. I found that the spool of flux core wire that I left in the old welder ws not something that came with the welder so I headed off to Harbor Freight to get the wire and also came away with some additional deep throat “c” clamps. I picked up dinner on the way home from Lucky Chinese Bistro. After lunch I relaxed for a while. About 1800 I went out and loaded the wire and came to the point of reinstalling the contact tip and found the tips that came with the welder were for 0.030 wire but HF only had 0.035 wire. So I intended to dash out to get the tips but checked the store hours first and only had 15 minutes to go 12 miles so that became a job for tomorrow morning.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(08/30) I was off early toward Harbor Freight. Lou was off to Walmart. I stopped at A Good Morning Cafe to pick up a breakfast burrito. I needed to visit HF to get some contact times, of the correct size, for my welder. I also picked up some replacement wheels for Dawn’s cart. On the return home I stopped at Outdoor Supply Hardware to get some “E” clips. Back home I installed the new wheels on the cart and installed the “E” clip where I had erroneously ground off a crimp-on cap. Then I installed the tips on the welder and did some practice welds. I found that my helmet wasn’t dimming like it should when the arc strikes. I wasn’t ab;e to get it to work so I returned the HF and bought a new helmet. Back home I finally figured out how to get the helmet to dim. It was in grind mode. So, I hope I can return the newer helmet. I did a little more practicing then I welded the seat belt anchor frame. Today the air quality was terrible and Lou wanted me inside so I quit early. I had leftover Chinese food for lunch. Lou made a cold tomato soup for dinner. <br /><b><br /></b><div><b>Thursday: </b>(08/31) I started the day filling the 10 filtered water bottles that are used in the motorhome. We have a carbon filter on the kitchen sink cold water faucet which is where I fill the bottles. Unfortunately the filter was getting clogged and the flow was extremely slow so I decided to replace the filter. I had purchased spare filters some time back on Amazon. After emptying under the sink and removing the filter I then found the filters were the wrong size. So, I heeded off first to Walmart then to ACE to get the proper filter. I was disappointed when Walmart didn’t have the filter they usually do have. Morning traffic is such a bother. Back home I installed the filter and filled the bottles. Then it was time for breakfast. I prepared a Denver omelet. I worked on making the 3rd seat seatbelt anchor welding a framework for it. I ended up making a run to Harbor Freight and Outdoor supply Hardware for a few things like grinding disks and bolts. Leftover lentil chili for lunch and leftover gazpacho for dinner. I finished welding the frame then put most stuff away. There are clouds in the sky so since I’m through welding, I put all that stuff away. Now I need to drill a bunch of holes in the frame and clean it up and paint it. I’ll hopefully get that done tomorrow.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-61905596006734621192023-07-01T15:54:00.074-07:002023-09-25T17:32:24.627-07:00July 2023<b>Saturday: </b>(07/01) Granola for breakfast. I received the replacement cooler water pump this morning before 0600 (amazing) and installed it in the cooler. I cut one of the plastic containers down to a height that fits the upper shelf of the closet. I’ll try it out before cutting the other three. I sat for a while and considered the next part of the project, the dais. I then checked my plywood stock and headed off to Lowe’s for more. On the way, I stopped at panda Express for lunch. I drove the van and now that the Kitchen cabinet is installed, It’s more work than I wanted to do to make room for full sheets of plywood. No problem. I considered how to trim the panels enough to match my size needs and loaded my battery circular saw and brought the two sheets i bought out to the van. I parked away from the crowd and in the shade. It was hot today. I can lay a 40 inch wide panel over the bed and refrigerator so with one 8’ cut of each sheet they both fit. I cut 8” off one and 15” off the other. Now I have good sized un-determined sheets and a piece big enough for the back wall of the shower. Most of the rest is for the dais walls and top lids. On the way home I stopped for gas and to pick up lunch from the Lucky Chinese Bistro for Lou and Dawn’s lunch. Back home it was time for a nap in the hottest part of the day. I then unloaded the plywood. I cut some 7.5” strips to use for the walls of the dais. I also installed the magnetic latches on the electrical compartment lid. Dawn made soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (07/02) Granola for breakfast. Lou and I tried to install Dawn’s countertop dishwasher this morning with no luck. We couldn’t keep the faucet connection from spewing water. Even with a run to ACE we weren’t successful. Seems like a bad quick connector. I made the under dinette raised platform (dais) frame. Leftover corned beef soup for lunch. In the afternoon I made the front compartment dais under the rotated front seats. Lou made baked fish and rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(07/03) Granola for breakfast. I completed the dais and made the lids for them. I had some leftover Shepherd’s pie from the freezer for lunch. I painted the primer coat on all the dais parts. We all went to dinner at Mendocino Farms restaurant. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/04) Lou and I had ham and eggs with toast for breakfast. I then got busy painting the color coat and a second color coat on the faces of the dais parts. I then made a run to Harbor Freight and Lowe’s looking for contact cement and flooring ideas for the dais. I found a rubber based carpet runner thet may work if the floor that I used on the rest of the van doesn’t glue down well on the tops of the dais lids. I’m concerned about rolling edges and cork separation possibilities, especially when it gets hot. We had our holiday lunch at 2pm. Roast, hot potato salad cole salem deviled eggs and sausage with corn on the cob. I installed the dais units in the van after lunch. Of course, things fit a little differently after screwing down the platforms so some adjustments had to be made here and there. All good now. Now I just need to put some kind of surface on the lids either carpet or laminate flooring. Leftover deviled eggs for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(07/05) Lou and I went to A Good Morning for breakfast. I installed the carpet topping to the dais lids and added some framing to the back wall of the shower. Leftover soup for dinner. In the evening Lou and I made a Walmart Neighborhood Market run. I needed some additional things to make enchiladas.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(07/06) I made a ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met 16 fellow hikers at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve for a hike up Spring Ridge trail and back on Hamm’s Gulch Trail. For 10 of the hikers, that was enough at 6.5 miles. I also had an optional hike that 6 of the hikers joined me on making a total of 10.3 miles. Weather was excellent for the hike including at the top picnic area that we’ve bad to leave quickly due to unpleasant wins on several recent visits. I picked up lunch from Panda Express on the way home and enjoyed it in the backyard. After my afternoon nap, I made enchiladas for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(07/07) Leftover enchiladas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I installed the back wall of the shower after cutting and painting the back of the panels. I also cut, varnished and installed some trim pieces on the outside back of the shower wall next to the sliding door. I also installed the wall in the microwave cabinet. I would have installed the shelf as well but I ended up using the shelf supports for something else. I received the air bed for the front seat area but needed to clean up the front of the van and charge the air pump that came with the bed. We’ll try it out tomorrow. I had my first reflux episode tonight, the first in nearly a year. I have to be more vigilant in stopping eating early.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (07/08) I started my day doing RV tank duty. Seemed like the black tank was full, maybe yes, maybe no, but it didn’t hurt to assume yes. Granola for breakfast. I tinkered on the van, trying not to start anything big. I completed the shelf in the microwave cabinet. We installed the front seat air mattress and tried it out. Seems like we need to find a way to address its tilt toward the backrests. I went out shopping to figure out how I wanted to seal the shower penetration. I determined I’d use some Flex Seal tape to seal the edge of the hole through the steel floor and plywood. I’m going to cut a 5” hole for easier servicing of the shower drain. Back home, I washed my Hyundai Accent and Lou’s Jeep. Tomorrow, I am not allowed to make noise in the backyard because of a party the neighbor is having. The best way to prevent that is to not be home so I’ll take the van out for a spin. Chinese food for lunch from Wok On. Salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (07/09) After watching the morning show on CBS and the political show, Lou made John Wayne Special for breakfast. The are steak, potatoes, salsaand ?? over tortillas. Since I couldn’t make any noise in the backyard today, I had planned to take the van out for a spin and goof off. That changed into my leaving in the van for a few days. About noon, I headed off toward Lassen NP. I stopped in Neward for aom shrimp and rice from Asia Express, one of my reguar stops when I pass by. Nect I stopped in Tracy for a short nap. Then another stop In Yuba City at Winco for a chicken breast for dinner. I got gas and cash in Chico before heading out on Highway 32. I stopped for the night about 35 miles Eat of Chico beside the highway.<br /><b><br />Monday:</b> (07/10) I walked down to Deer Creek next to my campsite this morning. Nice! I had some leftover enchiladas for breakfast, and dinner. I drove on into the town of Chester to see what it’s like. Not much there. I topped off my gas and continued on into Lassen Volcanic National Park. A lot is closed due to the Dixie Fire. I hiked to the top of Lassen Peak. Quite a climb and there was quire a bit of snow covered trail. After the hike I returned to the Southwest Entrance where you can camp in the parking lot for $5. I was trying to find out if the Devil’s Kitchen area was open. Eventually, not with the aide of any postings at the visit=ror Center nor the Entrance Station, and well hidden on their website, I learned that yes it is open but you can’t drive to it due to the fire damage near Drakesbad. So it would be a multiday hike and won’t happen on this trip. I’ll spend the night here and continue through the park tomorrow. Leftover Chinese food for lunch before the hike.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/11) Up early. Had a banana for breakfast then hitthe road to Kings Creek Falls. Nice falls, nice meadows but the forest is all burnt trees. I had some difficulty locating the Cold Boiling lake trailhead, as did a bunch of Chinese tourists. We all eventually found the trailhead and I hiked out to the lake and beyond to Bumpass Hell to see the mud pots and geysers. The trailhead to Bumpass hell from the road is closed and the boardwalk around the features is closed as well but you can get to the area and see from across the hot creek by walking three miles. After that I headed North and out of the park. I stopped before Old Station and took a Forest Service road out about a half mile then about a quarter mile on a spur to a nice pace to take an outside shower. I then continued on to see McArthur Burney waterfall then continued North on Highway 89 stopping to look at the three McCloud waterfalls. I then continued on to Mt. Shasta town for c=gas and to call home. Then on to Weed where I tried to stop for the night at a Pilot truck stop but no room there. I did get a couple of things at the Grocery Outlet there before continuing North on I5 stopping for the night at a Rest Area a few miles North of Weed. I nibbled a later breakfast and a late lunch of leftover enchiladas. For my late dinner, I had leftover Chinese food and some cottage cheese.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(07/12) I hit the road about 0530. I had some difficulty finding the correct road but eventually found the Klamath River Road and drove on toward Seiad Valley. I checked out several Forest Service Campgrounds along the way. In Seiad Vallay, i stopped at the cafe for breakfast. The cook/waitress was quite busy so the order took a while but arrived cooked to order. I had a bacon, avocado, tomato and cheese omelet with hash browns. It was a huge breakfst but I conquered it. Lots of PCT hikers were the other customers. I topped off my gas and continued on to Happy Camp and took a road up to Highway 199. I checked out more campgrounds on my way to Creasant City. I went to the Chart Room for a fish and chips lunch. Then I headed South toward Prarie Creek State Park. I had to wait through about an hour of trffic delays due to construction so arrived at the park about 1730. The Visitor Center as closed, of course. I tried to find a place to boondock for the night but all the area is either State or Federal Park land or Indian Reservation so I went further South to a rest stop in Trinidad. I’ll return early to do my hike. I had some salad and yogurt for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(07/13) I was up at 0530, made a tea and hit the road back up to Prairie Creek. I was the first vehicle/person there. I warmed up some enchiladas for breakfast. I hit the trail, still the only person there about 0700. I took Miners Ridge Trail over to Golds Bluff Beach the walked the road up to Fern Canyon. I walked through the canyon with quite a few people there at 0930. I then took the James Irvine Trail back to the van at the Visitor Center for s 12 mile, 1150 feet hike. I was back at noon. I then drove further South and stopped in Arcata at the Chinese Buffet for lunch. I wanted a shower and I wanted a cider but I couldn’t find a good out of the way spot for a shower and the cider mill is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. I did stop at Adelin Surplus/junk store. Lou had sent me to find a glass for her stainless steel butter dish. I found a silver plated one with a glass they look like the one she wants. It was the only thing there. I then continued on South stopping for gas in Loleta at the Indian Reservation. I turned off toward Shelter Cove to get to a campground, the Wailaki Campground in the King Range National Conservation Area about a mile and a half off of the Shelter Cove Road. I may explore more here or even take a hike tomorrow. I had to take a sink bath inside the van because there were a lot of mosquitos around camp. It was also hot, much warmer than I expect only five miles from the ocean. Leftover salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(07/14)Bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. I checked the Lost Valley trailhead and decided against doing a hike there today. I returned past camp and on out the road toward the Sinkyone State Park. I chickens out when the sign on the road said no campers or trailers. I probably should have gone anyway but, instead, returned on the Bryceland road. I took highway one down to Fort Brag then took Highway 20 back inland to Willits and home on 101. I stopped in Ukiah for gas and some enchiladas for lunch. Traffic was bad with all the weekend and evening commute drivers. At home I had some chili with ramen noodles for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (07/15) I received some Amazon deliveries while I was gone. I cleaned out some of the stuff from the van. Food from the fridge, dirty clothes, etc. My new hiking pole was pretty nice except it was supposed to collapse to 13” and was 15 inches when collapsed. In addition it was supposed to extend to a 135cm length, I use a 130cm pole. This pole only extended to 125cm. But the final kicker was that once extended, it wouldn't collapse. One of the joins was jammed. So, I returned it to Amazon at our Whole Foods store. I also visited the ACE and Lowe’s stores trying to figure out the parts needed for the shower drain but had no luck finding the needed parts. I also received the shower roll door and checked it out for damage. It seems OK even though the box was broken in half. Lou made grilled veggies and beer soaked chicken for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(07/16) Granola and yogurt for breakfast. We relaxed all morning watching the Sunday morning TV shows, as usual. I did more research trying to design and find parts to connect the shower drain. Still can’t find the right mix of parts to connect ½” drains to 1.25” piping and a 1 inch valve in the space available. I wanted to figure it all out before cutting the hold for the shower drain but I guess I will just do it and make it fit together. Maybe a lot of putty and tape will help. I then trimmed my beard and hair and showered. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. I was planning a broccoli salad mix that was in the refrigerator but it was too old and went to the dumpster. In the late afternoon, when the rear yard got shady, I brought out the table saw and cut some pieces to do some trim in the van. I painted up some pieces but will need to sand and varnish some panel pieces tomorrow morning. Lou made new potatoes with butter, bacon and cheese, something like a pizza, for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(07/17) Granola for breakfast. I painted a couple of coats of varnish on the trim boards I cut last night. I then, after a lot more thinking and procrastinating, started to cut the hole in the van floor for the shower drain pipe. I only got half way done before my hole saw became too dull to cut more. I considered using the jigsaw but couldn’t find any blades long enough. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Next I considered using the sawsall and even bought a long metal blade at ACE but then couldn’t find any of my four sawsalls. Later I headed off to Harbor Freight looking for a sawsall of longer jigsaw blades but I found another 5 inch hole saw blade and got it instead. Chinese food from Panda Express for dinner. Then off to Lowe’s to get some PVC piping for the drain lines and FlexSeal to help seal the new 5 inch hole in the floor. Back home I finished cutting the 5 inch hole then cleaned up. No work tomorrow due to it being a hike day.<br /><br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/18) Ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met my fellow hikers at Tarwater Trailhead for a hike to Jones Gulch in Pescadero County park. Six of us did the 10.4 mile hike in 4 hours. I had planned the hike to take an alternate trail because the Shingle Mill Trail was supposed to be closed. It was open so our hike, which had been planned at 11.2 miles, got shorter. Nice hike, nice trails, nice fellow hikers, all ladies. On the way home I picked up lunch from Panda Express. I enjoyed it in the backyard before a nice shower. I rested the rest of the day. Chili with ramen noodles for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(07/19) Granola for breakfast. I masked off the hole in the van’s floor for the shower and sprayed it with Flex Seal. Now I have to wait for two days for it to dry. I also picked up a bunch of floor foam squares that a neighbor disposed of and Lou wants for her shed. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. We all went to the Milpitas Super Walmart and got a new microwave oven. We had lost another a couple of days ago. While there we shopped around and also had dinner at the Black bear Restaurant. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (07/20) Ham and cheese omelet for breakfast. I tinkered on a couple of van projects. I cut and painted some filler boards that will be used to attach some trim pieces above the dinette and bed. Peach blintzes for lunch. Ham and cheese sandwich for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (07/21) I prepared the usual ham, cheese and egg sandwich for breakfast. I was then off to an early hike in San Jose up to the top of Mt Umunhum, about 7.5 miles. We 12 hikers endured the rather hot day which was actually not too bad. Slight breeze, about 85 degrees, with the return all downhill when the temps were highest. After the hike, I stopped to get lunch at the Wok On Chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale. Back home, after a nice shower, I relaxed the rest of the day. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (07/22) I spent the day working on the van. I dropped the shower pan in place and fashioned a sheet of plastic as a weather/splash guard and mouse barrier for the shower drain. I made a run to ACE for a flange washer for the shower tailstock pipe and returned a sawsall blade I didn’t need. The washer was too thick to work. I then collected some tings and drove toward Lowe’s. I stopped for lunch on the way. I settled in at Lowe’s in a shady parking space to the side of the store. I went to get some things I thought wou;d work for the drains. I needed to connect the shower drain and modify the drain for the sink. It all had to fit in a very limited space. I tinkered and considered and went in to Lowes four other times for things I needed. On the last trip in I also returned all the stuff I hadn’t used. Of course, the end product was totally different than the original plan but I managed to finish it at about 1900. I headed home. Tomorrow I’ll need to test for leaks, add the splash and mouse proofing covers, and caulk as needed. Leftover peach blintzes for breakfast. Panda Express Chinese for lunch. Dawn’s soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(07/23) I prepared a ham, bell pepper, onion and cheese omelet for breakfast. I watched some Youtube videos then eventually got to work. I needed to test the van pluming for leaks. It failed the test. There was gushing water from the shower drain lines. I tried to tighten it up several times but it didn’t cooperate. We all went to Bajis Cafe for lunch. I stopped at ACE and picked up a thick foam washer for the shower drain basket connection. After a nap, and to stay out of the heat, I installed the washer and reconnected all the piping that needed to be remove to do that. I lifted the shower pan out to be able to tighten the fitting. When I got it all back together, the test was successful. Now I can install the shower walls and install some trim before getting to the seat belt and air conditioner. Salad for dinner. <br /><b><br />Monday: </b>(07/24) Granola and banana for breakfast. I got out the shower panels and explored how to install them. I located the directions and learned what a normal installation should be like but then had to come up with how I'd actually install it in the van. The major difference is the curved side wall. I determined what I needed and headed off to Lowe’s for some materials, like adhesive, caulk and some plastic molding. On the way home I stopped for lunch at Panda Express in Sunnyvale. Back home I installed the trim molding I had prepared a couple of days ago. I also cut some pieces for installing the shower ceiling. Among the things I learned by reading the directions was that the walls need to be prime painted for best adhesion of the panels. I purposely left them raw because I thought that would allow better adhesion. Of course, I'll do what they recommend. Lou made spaghetti for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/25) Leftover omelet for breakfast. I painted the shower walls in the van with a couple of coats of primer. I also painted a few other wood pieces that will be used to hang the ceiling of the shower. Later, I went to Lowe’s to return some storage containers thet Lou says are too big to lift when full. They were 27 gallons and I had intended to get 17 gallons like the two already in the van. I swapped the four large for two more smaller 17 gallon ones. Then I stopped by the Grocery Outlet in Sunnyvale for a few things. Leftover salad for lunch. I relaxed the rest of the day. I didn’t get back to work when it finally cooled off. Leftover Chinese food for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(07/26) I made an omelet ith ham, cheese, onions and peppers for breakfast. I was preparing to work on the van but then had to attend my Wednesday webinar. Lou and Dawn also were headed off to San Francisco when Lou got a call from the washer repair man that he would be arriving soon. They continued on and I had to attend to the repair visit. As it turns out, the washer didn’t cooperate and the repairman was more interested in not finding a problem than repairing one. His computer said everything was good. He wasn’t all the way to the end of the street before the washer finally let out a few short grinds. The next load was all grind during the wash cycle. I sent off an email with an attached video with sound requesting they return. We’ll see how that goes. I then headed off to ACE to get a few pipe fittings. The repairman tried to say any problem was the way I hooked up the drain line and the fact we didn’t run hot water to the washer. Of course, neither had anything to do with the problem but I changed the drain line and will run water to the hat water inlet as well. After redoing the washer drain line, I made some ramen and chili for lunch. My morning working on the van was ruined so I relaxed all afternoon which then ended up being the rest of the day. I picked up a chili relleno from Tacos El Grullense for dinner. Lou and Dawn were out all day thrifting their way up to San Francisco then attending a meeting there.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(07/27) Leftover omelet for breakfast. I did a little weeding to start. Then I started to prepare to install the shower walls. In discussing the installation with Lou we decided to go to Lowe’s to look for something to better seal the back corners of the walls. In the end, I decided to use vinyl tape in the corners and caulk it to the panels. The panel is slightly too narrow leaving about ⅛-¼” of no panel on each side in the rear. Broccoli salad for lunch. As usual, after lunch it was nap time. I was awakened by a noise outside. It was the FedEx delivery guy sliding the air conditioner up by the van. I opened the box and was amazed to find a well built plywood crate inside which protected the AC unit very well. I then removed the rear Maxifan in the van and caulked the gasket on the roof. Lou and I were in the process of trying to get the AC unit on the roof when a neighbor and his wife strolled by and offered to help me, making Lou very happy. We got it in place on the gasket but in the process had displaced the gasket messing up the caulk. The gasket was repositioned and the AC unit will hold it in place while the caulk sets tonight. Tomorrow I can lift the unit and add some caulk to the edge of the gasket and finish anchoring the unit and wiring it up. I’ll get back to the shower after the AC installation is complete. Baked fish with vegetables and rice for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(07/28) Lou made steak, eggs and bacon with tater tots for breakfast. I lifted the air conditioner on the van and added some caulk, as needed, around the roof gasket. I then lowered the AC and adjusted the position then bolted it down. I finished up about 1300. Shirl, a member of my hiking group came over to talk about travel, camping and hiking. We talked until about 1600. Lou and Dawn picked up sandwiches for lunch from Subway. I had my lunch after 1600 so no dinner was needed. I started routing the power wire for the AC only getting it about halfway. Lots of disassembly needed to get it in. I posted a hike for next Tuesday.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(07/29) Granola for breakfast. A little slow getting out to work. When I did, I was distracted from the van and worked on cleaning up the shop area, putting things away and disposing of some things of little use. I’m a collector of all sorts of wood scraps and materials collected working on projects. My work table ended up with much more room on it. Our neighbor Meili, provided Taiwanese chicken soup for lunch. I worked a bit more cleaning up after lunch. Then it was nap time. After dinner of cabbage with beef, I worked on the van a little. I removed the refrigerator and opened access to the electrical area. I pulled the AC power cable the rest of the way in. The cables are 2-3 feet too short to connect. I reinstalled the microwave oven and cabinet wall and shelf. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (07/30) I made a ham and cheese omelet for breakfast. We had the usual slow Sunday morning watching the Sunday morning TV shows. I wasted a lot of time trying to locate my cable crimper and connectors. I didn’t find the connectors but did, eventually, locate the hydraulic crimper. I emailed the AC vendor to learn the cable size for the AC. The cable didn’t have any markings. I finally found marks on the connectors after I removed the shrink tubing and found them marked 16-10. 16mm = #6 cable. I found a few pieces, enough to make the extensions needed. Also found a 60 amp flag breaker. But, I think I want to increase the conductor size going to my buss bars to accommodate the extra load of the AC. I also took inventory of the needed crimp connectors and other components needed and did an Amazon order. I made a shopping run to Lowe’s to return some things and do grocery shopping at Smart and Final market. On the way I picked up Chinese lunch for us all. I also spent some time at Dawn’s place working on her printer and computer. In the evening I completed securing the AC cable near the AC and reinstalled the ceiling, AC faceplate and wall trim. All that had to be removed and reinstalled again because I forgot to connect the wires to the ceiling light in the ceiling panel. Now just waiting for parts to complete the power connections and test the AC on Wednesday. So back to the shower walls project. Leftover Chinese food for dinner.<div><br /><b>Monday: </b>(07/31) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. I installed some sealing tape in the back corners of the shower. I also ct some boards to brace the back wall in place while the adhesive dries. I then trimmed the back shower wall panel and glued in place. Chili beans with ramen noodles for lunch. I was going to have a ham sandwich but my bread was moldy. Not much else to do today. I made a run in the afternoon to Lowe’s and got some caulk tape for the back corners. I figured it would seal better and be neater than any caulking I could do. I had snacks for dinner. Scrambled eggs and some sliced ham and cheese with hummus and chips. My van heater has been asking to be run for a while. With our high daytime temps I haven’t gotten to it in a while. This evening I ran it for a few minutes. I assume it is to keep the pump primed.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-60704374568160007432023-06-01T15:53:00.067-07:002023-09-25T17:39:20.288-07:00June 2023<b>Thursday: </b>(06/01) A ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met Kayoka and Amy from San Jose Midweek Hikers at the store and we drove up to the Manzanita parking area and started our Grand Loop Hike through the Balconies Caves, Up Juniper and Tunnel Trails to the High Peaks and through the rocks. Usual Trail tuna snack for lunch on the hike. Then down the High Peaks Trail to the Rom Trail and out to the reservoir. We got to see some of the recently sighted snakes in the water. We then hiked down from the dam but were disappointed to find the Bear Gulch Caves closed so we took Moses Spring Trail around to the lower Bear Gulch Trail and back to our cars. About 10.5 miles in 6 hours 40 minutes. After an Ice cream reward and leftover Chinese food, I drove on down to King City. I took care of some online details related to the hike, topped off my gas tank and headed out Jolon Road into the Hunter Legget Army Base. Saw a badger skittering along beside Jolon Road in ort Hunter Legget. I camped at the Hunter Legget Campground. Chili and ramen noodles for a late dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(06/02) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I tried to head over to the coast via the road through the base but it was closed. It did have a detour sign pointing onto a road headed North. I took it about 10 miles on dirt washboard road until I came to the paved Mariposa Road. I continued up it and exited the base into the Santa Lucia National Forest. I found several dispersed camping spots checking out several wild roads leaving Mariposa Road. I continued checking until I came to the improved Santa Lucia Campground, a paid full price vendor managed campground. The road ended there due to rock slides brought on by the recent forest fires. I turned back, returning to the first dispersed campsite that I checked out. It was easy enough to get into and was close to a nice river. I had some pineapple cottage cheese and another banana for lunch. I relaxed all afternoon. I even soaked my feet in the river. Chili and ramen noodles for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(06/03) Scrambled eggs with ham for breakfast. I took a morning walk along the river down to a place where another trail comes up to a cliff top and back to camp. I left camp and drove just a short ways to the Wagon Cone. One side of the ridge is beside my campsite, the other at a walkin campsite parking area. I explored all the walk in campsites. Originally I thought the trail may lead somewhere but it just seems to go out to a bunch of different walkin campsites by a couple of rivers. The total hike was about two miles. I then drove back through Fort Hunter Legget to Greenfield. Lunch at the Ranch Market in Greenfield. I had a chili relleno with rice and beans and fresh tortillas. I drove out the Arroyo Seco and Carmel Valley Roads ro Carmel. I stopped along the way for a nap then had some flan that I had gotten at the market. Once on Highway One I got stuck in stop an inch forward traffic all the wat to Monterey, about an hour to go 5 miles, I decided that because it was a weekend day and traffic was so bad that I’d just continue home without any more stops. I came back through Santa Cruz. I got off Highway 17 when it came to a stop as well. Lou’s lasagna for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(06/04) Popcorn for breakfast. The usual slow Sunday morning. A little tinkering on projects for Lou then I worked on the van starting to cut out the drawers for the seat. Salad for lunch.Dinner from Super Taqueria.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(06/05) Granola for breakfast. I had an appointment at Kaiser to get a bone density scan. It took all of 15 minutes in and out. I stopped at the nearby Grocery Outlet to look for whatever. I found some nice ham steaks there. Next stop was Harbor Freight for some wood glue. Back home, I had a salad for lunch. Then I watered our neighbors yard. Finally, I got to work on the van, I finished cutting out the drawers and nailed and glued them together. Lou made cabbage with sausages for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(06/06) I prepared ham steak and eggs with hash browned potatoes. For breakfast. We had a threat of rain that began early this morning so I had put oll my equipment and tools away last night. At 0900 it wasn’t raining and had not rained so I was just getting ready to bring the table saw out when I got a few drops. Then the rain started and it was a pretty good drip. I retired to the RV to do inside things. Lou made tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. They headed off to an appointment after lunch. I prepared pork with sauerkraut and potatoes in the pressure cooker for dinner later. Later in the afternoon the rain appeared to be gone so I got the saw out and made some more ¾: molding for the drawer box construction for the van. I glued and nailed the molding into the drawers I had made yesterday. Then I put everything away since the forecast for rain remains the same through tomorrow. In the evening I scheduled a hike for Thursday.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(06/07) Granola and banana for breakfast. It’s another overcast day. Even though the forecast is only a 1% chance of rain it looks like it could rain at any moment. I watered the neighbor’s yard. Next , I washed the van. It was quite dirty from my dirt road travels and had a good coat of bugs on the front. Lou picked a bunch of olallieberries which I enjoyed for a morning snack. An artichoke with some ham and cheese for lunch. I painted the drawers and other parts with a primer and color coat. Sausage and artichoke for dinner. <br /><b><br />Thursday: </b>(06/08) I prepared a ham egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I then headed up the hill to Russian Ridge to meet my five fellow San Jose Midweek Hikers for a 0930 hike. We did a short 6 mile loop with a little over 1000’ of climb. Lots of nice flowers to add color. We also saw a gray snake, likely a Western Yellow-bellied Racer. We didn’t see the belly but they often are gray with a big head and less than 2 feet in length. All a match for this snake. We finished about 1220. I stopped on the drive down the hill to watch a Youtube meeting about using Google Photos with Facebook. I got two good pointers from the meeting. I went up to Harry’s Hofbrau for a soup and sandwich lunch. Nice corn chowder and a pastrami sandwich. I then stopped and Grocery Outlet and Smart and Final markets for a few things before heading on home. Leftover pork with sauerkraut and potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(06/09) Granola and banana for breakfast. I prepared the van to roll and be ready to carry some plywood sheets. I rolled up the mattress and cleared the bed platform. I also removed all the storage boxes and loose materials. I headed off in the van to get Chinese food from Wok On restaurant for lunch. Next I stopped at Sprouts Market for some of my favorite peanut butter, the “Bees Knees”. It isn’t available in most places and Sprouts has been out on recent visits. Lucky day, they had some today, Next I stopped by Home Depot. I don’t shop at HD but wanted to check their plywood prices and quality. Then on to Lowe’s. Lowe’s price was 15% less and had better condition sheets. I still had to move 10 sheets of ¾’ off the pile then 8 sheets of damaged ½” sheets to get my two reasonable quality ½” sheets. Back home I relaxed a while then opened up my wood pile and reorganized it. I then added the new sheets to the pile. I then moved most of the stuff I had moved out of the van back into the van but leaving the bed open so I can build a kitchen cabinet under the bed. Lou made salmon and tater tots and Dawn made mixed vegetables for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(06/10) Lou made eggs and leftover sauerkraut, potatoes and pork hash for breakfast. A lazy morning. Eventually, I went outside. I started by picking berries. Not all of them made it into my basket. Then I started work on the van. Not much accomplished. Lunch was some strawberry olallieberry short cake the Lou made. I cut a few boards for a cover for the water heater, pump and accumulator. In the afternoon we went to an ice cream social of the neighborhood association at Boulware Park. Lou made a stew/soup with Dawn’s leftover mixed vegetables, noodles and beef.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (06/11) Leftover Chinese food for breakfast. This was a typical Sunday morning watching the Sunday morning shows and a few youtube videos. When I did get outside I was busy pruning the neighbors tree of a broken limb and mowing her back yard then watering the plants. Lou made grilled cheese sandwiches and strawberry shortcake for lunch.After lunch i headed off in the neighbor’s car to exercise it and get gas. Back home it was time for a nap. I never got busy after that. Dawn made stew for dinner. After dinner I harvested the artichokes on the front plants and then cut them down to the ground so new plants can grow. Later I walked Dawn home and helped her with the cameras on her computer for a zoom meeting. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(06/12) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I did the RV tank duty to start my day. Then I weeded the front yard bark and sidewalks. Our lawn people came and did our lawn while I took a break, After they left I got started on the van. I brought out my shop from my shed and assembled the water heater cover and cut out pieces for the water piping shield. To install the shield, I needed different sized screws and I also needed a 3 inch hole saw for the shower valve access. After a nice green salad for lunch. I visited Harbor Freight for the hole saw, Walmart Neighborhood Market for more ham, Lowe’s for the screws and L brackets, Home Depot to return a defective nail gun, and finally a stop for gas in my car. Back home I cut some holes, sanded the panels and drilled and fit together all the panels. They still need to be painted before final installation. Leftover soup and cottage cheese for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(06/13) The usual egg, ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met my fellow SJMW hikers at Monte Bello Ridge Open Space. The parking lot was very busy with a group of 20 or so kids preparing for bicycle outing through the preserve. 14 of the 19 hikers signed up for my hike arrived and we were off. We hiked through the Los Trancos Preserve and the Monte Bello Preserve for about 7 miles. We finished up at about 1230. I returned home and enjoyed a shower and ramen chili for lunch. Unfortunately I napped the rest of the day. We had corn on the cob, baked potatoes and meatloaf for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(6/14) I had to dispose of another bench and its overload of fruit in our neighbor's yard. I also watered her yard. Lou made an omelet for breakfast. We received another neighbor's dog to dogsit for while she is out of town. I got out all the shop equipment and started on the van kitchen cabinet. I got a new sheet of plywood from the pile and cut all the pieces and then put them all together with glue and brad nails. I had a green salad for lunch. After a post lunch nap, I then drew out the cut sheet for the drawers to fit the cabinet. I then put everything away, tools to the shop, cabinetry to the van. It just might rain a little, it is overcast. Dawn made an interesting chicken stew for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(06/15) The usual egg, ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met my fellow SJMW hikers at Picchetti Open Space. We did a 9+ mile hike through Stevens Creek Park and Fremont older Open Space preserve then back to Picchetti Open Space Preserve. Enjoyable walk with flowing streams, a full lake and pond, colorful skink, calm snake, lots of birds, great views, reasonable spring weather, great company, and interesting conversation. After the hike I stopped at Aqui’s Restaurant for some Cuban carnitas for lunch. I also visited Trader Joes, Safeway and REI before returning home. Then a nice shower and nap. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (06/16) Leftover omelet for breakfast. I did a little gardening. I dug up a couple of plans in Dawn’s garden, moved a purple succulent plant from the greenhouse to the front yard and cleaned up the greenhouse floor.I cut out the pieces for the kitchen drawers in the van build. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. After a nap, I returned to work on the drawers. I sanded the pieces and glued them together minus their from pieces. I also made a bunch of molding to be added to the drawers to reinforce the joints. Leftover chicken stew over rice for dinner. <br /><b><br />Saturday: </b>(06/17) Scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast. I added the corner braces to all the drawers then did a trial fit of the drawers. I had Lou and Dawn try out the bottom drawer step height to get in the bed. Lou decided she preferred the higher middle drawer as the bottom drawer to make it easier to get up into bed. I then made a run to Lowe’s for some screws and paint. I picked up our Chinese food for lunch on the way home. Back home I ordered some hardware that Lowe’s didn’t have and my remaining drawer slides from Amazon. After a nap, i got back to work about 1630 and painted all the things I had cut out and assembled recently. Leftover Chinese food for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(06/18) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van painting the color coat on the kitchen cabinet and drawers. I managed to get a good sunburn doing it when the sun shines. Afternoons are much nicer in my shop on the lawn. Fathers day meal was BBQ steaks and sausage with broccoli salad, carrot and raisin salad, and corn on the cob. A nice nap in the afternoon. Snack for dinner.s<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(06/19) Granola and yogurt for breakfast. Had to wait for parts for the van so we did some shopping today. Lou and Dawn visited Smart and Final and had an appointment as well. I visited Lowe’s to get some mat for the step lid for the kitchen cabinet. Lou wanted me to get an umbrella base as well but I didn’t like the cost of the ones they had. I stopped by Big Lots and found a nice one for a third the cost. I was really thinking of making my own. While there, I found some containers that I thought would be perfect for the van closet. I got the four gray ones they had. I had the clerk check on inventory at other stores and went to the Campbell store for four more. Lou called and wanted me to stop at another Smart And Final for my orange juice bottles that they didn’t have at the store she visited. Back home, I tried out the containers and they should work. I’ll need to cut off four and use four full height. I decided to get four more for spares to match when these break. Busy morning. Leftover broccoli salad for lunch. After a nice afternoon nap while the sun was shining its best, I got to work on the Van’s kitchen cabinet. I received the additional drawer slides I needed about 1600 and installed them. I had to cut the top off the top drawer and decided to cut a ¼” off the bottom drawer so the step lid was more free. I checked the weather and there was a 7% chance of a few drops tonight so I put all the tools away and moved the cabinet and it’s parts to the van. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (06/20) The usual egg, ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Met my fellow SJMW hikers at Foothills Nature preserve at 0930 for a 6.6 mile loop hike on the Los Trancos Trail. We finished up at 1230. 16 hikers joined me on a really nice day. Unusual for the creeks to still have water in them, but they did. Lunch from Panda Express. I tried out their Super Veggies instead of rice. Quite good. I installed the kitchen cabinet in the van and the covers for the plumbing. Dawn made Cambodian sandwiches(bacon, pickled radishes, peaches and sauce) for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (06/21) Granola for breakfast. I tinkered with the van and attended my Wednesday webinar. Then we were off to San Jose to the Habitat Reuse Store looking for carpet tiles which they have had stacks of in the past. Nothing today. We stopped for lunch at La Victoria Taqueria. I had a nice super relleno burrito. Lou and Dawn had nachos. Back home it was nap time. Later, when the shadows protected the rear yard where I work, I got to work on the drawers. I cut the drawer fronts and installed them. I discovered a bad drawer slide that lost several of its ball bearings. Fortunately, I had an s=extra that will be used under the 3rd passenger seat so I can finish the kitchen cabinet. I now have a bunch of parts that need painting so tomorrow morning starts with a brush. A broccoli salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(06/22) Granola for breakfast. I painted the parts of the drawers that needed touchup due to cuts and new pieces. I had a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, After two coats, I installed the trim pieces aound the drawer slides then installed the drawers back in the cabinet. That bottom drawer caused problems that resulted in my cuting several finger tips. I then started to prepare for the Dave’s Ranch campout. I loaded the electric bike and groceries. I also made a run to Walmart, ACE Hardware, and Grocery Outlet Market for a few things. For a late dinner I made an enchilada dinner. That provided some leftovers, some of which I put in the van. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (06/23) Some leftover enchiladas for breakfast with Lou in the backyard. I headed off about 0930. I stopped at REI and bought a camp table. Also stopped at Safeway for some hard cider for the campout. I made a final stop at the Super Walmart in San Jose hoping to find some small cheap camp chairs in gray but they didn’t have anything appropriate. I then headed on up Mount Hamilton Road toward Dave’s Ranch. I stopped for some cottage cheese for lunch on the way up. I arrived about 1500 as planned. More leftover enchiladas for dinner. There were several biker friends there but none of the hiker friends arrived until about 8 PM. We enjoyed nice campfire and some stargazing with a telescope that Girard brought.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (06/24) Up early for a walk.Granola and a banana for breakfast. I took the hikers in the group for a walk around the ranch. We hikers went to The Junction Bar and Grill for lunch. The bikers had gone while we were hiking. Not much happening but sitting, snacking and chatting. We had a pot luck BBQ for dinner. All sorts of interesting things. I shared Lou’s Iranian potato salad. I also BBQ’d some pork chops and sliced them to share as nibbles. Several of us went up on a hill to watch the sunset. Then back in camp for a campfire.<br /><br /><b> Sunday: </b>(06/25) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I took a ride on the bike down to the end of the runway to look at the eagles. I then rode on out to the highway and removed my two direction signs for this event. Back at the ranch house, I swept the floors in the house and helped cleanup the outside of the house. Then Dave took Stephanie and myself on a tour of the homestead cabin. I got to see how well I recited my memory of Dave’s previous tours on yesterday’s hike. Not too bad. Then it was time to say goodbyes to everyone. I departed the ranch with most everyone else about 1130. I came out on Mines Road to Livermore. Per all the research I could do, I had confirmed it was closed. Dave arrived Saturday afternoon and said it was open. I stopped in Milpitas for some egg rolls to compliment my cottage cheese for lunch. Back home, time to relax from relaxing. Dawn made chili beans for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(06/26) Granola and banana for breakfast. I took Dawn to her PT appointment then took the Jeep down to Normandin Jeep in San Jose for a recall fix. Normanding said they didn’t have an appointment scheduled for me. Thus is the second time they have done this to me. That’s why I tried out using Stevens Creek and Sunnyvale Jeep dealers but those two are the same dealer with two locations and they managed to schedule an appointment for me but when I arrived they had no mechanics working so could not do the work. This seems to be a problem at all dealers here in the bay area. I’ve had good service at a dealer in San Luis Obispo and in Pennsylvania. They said I could leave it nd they would see if they could get it done today. No thanks, I left. I returned to pick up Dawn and returned home. The recall is a computer update to protect in case (when) the from axle spline fails causing the parking brake to not function in two wheel drive, the normal drive mode. I always set the electric parking brake anyway so it doesn't bother me but might bother Lou because she doesn’t. Leftover enchiladas for lunch. I modified the 3rd passenger set drawer fronts by cutting off the side ears. I also cut out some spacers fro the drawer slides then painted and touched up as needed. I also re-installed a wheel on a roller basket Lou uses with the laundry. I relaxed the rest of the day Baked potato for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (06/27) Banana for breakfast. I worked on installing the 3rd passenger drawers and eventually got them installed. No cut finger tips this time but some bad words were expressed in the process. I had to make a run to ACE for some more screws to finish it. I managed to end up building a boat in the basement. In order to service the heater I need to be able to get access to it. After installing the drawer runners for the top drawer, I could no longer get either the top or side of the heater cover out. I had to make some modifications to the cover. Leftover enchiladas for lunch. I had some Shepherds pie filling over torn bread pieces for dinner followed by some of Lou’s rice pudding. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(06/28) Granola for breakfast. I installed some sprinkler drip emitters for some new planters in the gardens. I cut out a cover door for the electrical compartment, a closet shelf, and some miscellaneous other pieces. I then sanded and painted a primer coat on all the pieces. After an afternoon nap, I rerouted one of the emitter tubes to bypass a valve. Lou had mentioned it didn’t work and it was because that section of the garden was turned off because it over waters because it gets groundwater flow from the other two garden sections. Salad for lunch. Hot coleslaw with ham for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(06/29) Ham egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I met 13 fellow SJMW hikers at Monte Bello Open Space preserve for a hike through four open space preserves. It was an 8.2 mile loop through Monte Bello, Skyline, Russian Ridge, and Coal Creek preserves. Nice weather and still lots of flowers. I got lunch at Panda Express. I recently discovered their super greens option instead of chow mein or rice. I had the super greens with honey walnut shrimp and sweet fire chicken. Yum! After eating lunch in the backyard, I painted the color coat on the pieces I prepared yesterday. Then I showered and washed my hiking clothes from today and last weekend. I had some black bean soup with toast for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (06/30) 19 years retired today. Breakfast with Lou at A Good Morning Cafe/ Lou made soup for lunch and dinner. I managed to install all the pieces I prepared yesterday. The closet shelf required trimming and touch up of the painted edges. I also replaced the battery in the Flume water flow monitor and cut a piece of plastic for Lou. <br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-21881028041305807942023-05-01T15:51:00.068-07:002023-09-25T17:46:49.690-07:00May 2023<b>Monday: </b>(05/01) I was up early and drove into the park and stopped at the Peaks View Parking Area. I had some pizza and a banana for breakfast. My neck and back were botering me so I then took a nap. About 1000, I hiked out the South Wilderness Trail to its end. There was some path finding and a few extra stream crossing on this outing. Tree falls and flooding made for some new routes. It’s a good thing I’m not doing the Pig fence Hike because the river now obstructs the trail at the bottom for about a half mile. This hike was about 7 miles total. Back at the Van I had some Chinese food for lunch. It was rather cold and windy. I drove out the Old Pinnacles TH for a look then back to the Visitor Center Store. I checked in to my campsite and tried to get on the Internet. It didn’t work well but i did learn that I’m the only hiker now signed up for my hike tomorrow. Everyone canceled due to concerns about the storm with its expected rain and wind. So, I figured, why don’t I just do the hike today with a little better weather. I started at the Old Pinnacles trailhead at 1500. It's about a 9.5 mile loop hike so I had to hustle. I exited the Balconies Caves at 2000 and it was dark. I did the last 2.5 miles with my headlamp on arriving back at the van at 2050. I tried to check the Internet and close the signup for my hike but couldn’t get a connection. So I’ll have to hang around and may have to do the hike a second time tomorrow morning. If no one hows up I can leave before the storm hits. I enjoyed my burrito for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(05/02) Up at 0700. I had a couple of pieces of pizza and a banana for breakfast. I drove over to the store to see if I could get an Internet connection. No luck so I waited until 0900 to see if anyone showed up for the hike. No one did. It was raining all morning. I did drive up to Bear Gulch and considered taking a hike up to the reservoir and possibly through the High Peaks but I came to my senses and didn't. I left the park and headed toward home. I stopped in Holister at the Historical Village but nothing was open. I took a walk around looking at what I could see. I did have good cell Internet here so I caught up. I confirmed that there had been no one signed up for the hike. I enjoyed looking at all the old farm equipment then headed home. At home I made the van tidy again. I finished my leftover Chinese food for dinner. Later in the evening I found a tick on my stomach. He must have been hitch hiking because he had been attached too long judging by his size.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (05/03) Granola for breakfast. I studied the van considering how to install the 3rd set and tables. I also called Kaiser’s advice nurse and ask about my tick bite. They confirmed it is likely not a problem unless things get worse in a few days. I also called Kaiser and scheduled my annual checkup for this afternoon. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Lou came with me for my doctor’s checkup. No problems but she did burn off some skin and schedule a bone density test and lab work. I also got my 2nd covid booster shot. Super nacho chips for dinner. In the evening We went to Dawn;s apartment and relocated her TV to be clear of the escape window.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(05/04) I prepared ham and eggs with toast for breakfast. Later in the morning i took a walk down to San Antonio Shopping Center. I looked at a couple of construction projects on the way. I also walked through Fayette Greenway Park. It was built over part of the Hetch-Hetchy Water pipe as part of an apartment building complex. It is basically a dog walk so i sat and read my newspaper and watched the dods play. I continued on to walk around the somewhat recently built office/shopping building complex. I then stopped at Safeway Market and bought some parsley for Dawn. I caught a bus back home. Lou had prepared hamburger salads for lunch. I relaxed in the van tinkering wit the computer and doing some van planning. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(05/05) Granola for breakfast. I cleaned up the blossom debris from the oak tree. It bothers Lou’s nose. Lou and Dawn were off to thrift and for an appointment. They were gone all day. I relaxed inside the rest of the day and spent a little time working on the van plan. Chili and an artichoke for lunch. The artichoke was one of ours and over six inches in diameter. Chicken and ramen noodles for dinner. When I walked Dawn home I noticed some red light activity at the end of our street. We’d heard several sirens previously and more were coming. Turns out there were 6 Palo Alto police cars, three Palo Alto fire trucks, a fire chief truck and an ambulance. Then two Mountain View Fire trucks and one of their chiefs as well. They were all at our Shell service station. There was one car by the pumps and all the pumps were taped off. Then there was a whole lot of waiting. Evidently it was some kind of hazardous material problem in the car. That’s better than a problem with the hydrogen fueling system. <br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (05/06) Granola for breakfast. I drew up some plans for Dawn’s seat construction. Not much else accomplished today. Leftover celery chicken over rice for lunch. Strawberries and yogurt for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(05/07) I made a Denver omelet for breakfast. I started with helping Lou erect a tent in the rear yard. She will be cleaning out the cottage and needs some covered space. I worked on the van rear door lock problem. The electric lock chattered and didn’t lock the lock. The key didn't work either. Today, the lock solenoid didn’t even chatter. I may have waited too long to fix it and it burnt out. I removed the panels and checked for a jam and it worked fine. That should have been a clue. I decided to just disconnect the lock connector so it would do anything, which was better than only unlocking. While the panels were off I installed some insulation in the lower half of the doors. I hadn’t removed the factory lower door panels when I insulated the rest of the van. After reinstalling the panels, I tested the lock and it didn’t work again. I removed the panels again and discovered the cause of all the problems. One of the screws I used to attach the upper door panel was the culprit. It interfered with one of the levers connecting the latch and the key cylinder. I installed a shorter screw to fix the problem. I don’t intend to repair the electric lock because with it being manual only, it will remain locked whenever the other doors ore unlocked. The rear doors are seldom used so it should be no problem. Salad for lunch. I relaxed all afternoon. Meatloaf and one of our artichokes for dinner. This artichoke was slightly smaller than Friday’s artichoke, only six inches in diameter.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (05/08) Leftover Denver omelet for breakfast. I met my fellow hikers in Saratoga village for a hike led by Libby. We walked through the streets up to Villa Montalvo and up a trail from there to a viewpoint up the mountain behind it. It was only about a five mile hike but the company was great. I picked up a super burrito for lunch from Super Taqueria on the way home. I also stopped at Grocery Outlet for a few things. After a bit of relaxing I joined Lou cleaning out her garden spot. I removed a bean trellis, a bunch of concrete pavers and the drip sprinkler pipes. That was enough. Lou and Dawn made vegetable soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(05/09) Leftover Denver omelet for breakfast. We worked on Lou’s garden today. We pulled all the weeds and grass up. With that done. I rototilled the garden. Next, a trip to Lowe’s to get some steer manure. Back home, I tilled the manure in then leveled the garden. And finally I replaced the step stone bricks. Dawn made some baked peppers, onions, and unmeltable cheese for lunch. After lunch Dawn and I went to get a load of mulch from the city pile and then a load of compost. Both are for Dawn’s garden. Dinner was tater tots, cabbage, and sausages.<div><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(05/10) Lou made a mushroom and sausage omelet for breakfast. I installed a bean trellis for Lou’s garden. I also worked on plucking some weeds from the patio cracks by the arbor. I tried to attend my Wednesday webinar but the Internet disagreed with that plan. Bad connection. We went to Aqui’s Restaurant for Lou’s Mother’s Day dinner. A few days and hours early, since it was Wednesday’s late lunch. Back home I went to Dawn’s apartment and reinstalled her computer monitor. Salad for dinner followed with strawberries and yogurt. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (05/11) Leftover mushroom omelet for breakfast. I reinstalled the drip tubes in Lou’s garden that had to be removed to rototill the garden. Broccoli salad and some yogurt for lunch. I went with Lou for a doctor’ appointment in the afternoon. After my afternoon nap, I made a run to get more mulch from the City’s pile for our gardens. Leftover vegetable soup with carrot salad for dinner. I posted a hike for Tuesday.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(05/12) Granola for breakfast. I prepared the van to roll again. I tried to install the dropdown table on the sink cabinet but the screws kept breaking off so I canceled that project until I get better screws. I also drained the gray water tank and filled the fresh water tanks. Then I was off to do a little shopping. I stopped at Walmart and bought some more kitchen towels. I use them for both the kitchen and my bath towel. After checking out while walking to the car, Lou discovered I was gone and learned I was at Walmart so I had to go back in and gt more stuff. I then stopped by Super Taqueria for a burrito. I put it in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch. I hate over-priced event food. And I topped off the gas tank at the cheapest station. Salmon stuffed tomato for lunch. Baked squash with beef and peppers for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(05/13) I was up earlier than recently and had some granola and a banana for breakfast. I said my goodbyes and jumped in the van and headed off up Highway 280 toward Santa Rosa to the Adventure Van Expo. I Stopped for a short visit to Freidman Brothers then headed off to the Fairgrounds. I walked in when they opened and 1000. Weather was nice then but it got warmer during the day. Lots of interesting vans and components for van builds. I made the rounds several times and finally called it quits at 1620. My lunch was the super burrito I picked up yesterday afternoon. I picked up some Chinese food for dinner then headed off toward Bodega Bay and camoed beside the road beside the bay. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(05/14) Up at 0500 to drive in the fog down to Olema to the PaloMarin Trailhead. I understand parking is limited, the hike is popular and it’s a weekend day. The foggy drive was interesting. I had to stop for an owl standing in the road and also saw a bobcat. I arrived at the parking area about 0650. I prepared my breakfast of some ramen noodles and chili. I hit the trail about 0800. It’s about 4 ¼ miles out to a primitive trail down to the falls. That trail involves going down the cliff using a rope. It’s also possible to hike another 3 miles looping back on the beach from Wildcat Beach. The trail wasn’t at all difficult and Alamere Falls are beautiful. There are also a lot of flowers on the hills above the falls. I returned to the van about noon. After a little cleanup, a change of clothes and a salad for lunch, I was back on the road home. I was home about 1500. I had some chili for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (05/15) Lou and Dawn were off to an appointment. We met for brunch about 1000 at A Good Morning cafe. On the way there I stopped and got gas in the Van and did some shopping at Walmart. Then I went to REI and got an egg carton and a California road atlas. Lou made tator tots with chicken wings for dinner about 1400. I stopped by ACE hardware and bought some steel angle iron to make the third passenger seat. It’s going to be bolted through the floor and the seatbelt bolted to the steel. I had some cheese toast for a snack later. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(05/16) After a shower I made an egg, ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I drove the van up Pagemill Road to the Skyline Ope Space preserve to meet my fellow hikers for a hike through five openspaces including going to the top of Black Mountain. The weather wasn’t as hot as forecast and we had nice clear views, wild flowers and a nice occasional breeze. We started at 0930 and finished at 1500. Six hikers opted for a slightly shorter hike of only 9 miles while eight of us proceeded to the top of Black Mountain for a 12.5 mile hike. I was worn out as we finished. Back home after a nice shower i prepared ramen noodles and chili for late lunch and then took a nap. More chili for dinner later.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (05/17) I had scrambled eggs with ham for breakfast. Out neighbor is away so I used her car to give it some exercise and went to Smart and Final Market for a few things. Back home, I moved some flagstone pavers I had stacked between the legs of my cement mixer in the tent. Dawn needs the mixer for her garden soil preparation. I also checked and corrected some sprinklers. Ramen noodles with chili for lunch. Dawn made vegetable soup “Wish Soup'' for dinner. After dinner I removed a couple of artichoke plants that had completed their choke harvest. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (05/18) Scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast. I had a dental appointment in the morning. I gave myself a hair and beard cut before I headed off to the appointment. I stopped at Sprout’s Market nearby in Sunnyvale after the appointment for my favorite green tea. The shelf was bare. I then picked up my lunch. After that I tried a second Sprout’s location in Cupertino. It is now closed for good, just like our Mountain View location. I hope the rest remain open. Another stop at Panera Bread Cafe for some soup for Lou and Dawn’s lunch. Chinese food from Wok On Restaurant for lunch. BBQ ribs with baked potato and artichoke for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(05/19) Scrambled eggs with ham and hash browned potatoes. I worked in the yard in the morning. I weeded and cleaned out my succulent bed. I moved my two big jade plants into buckets and placed them out front for someone else to enjoy. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. After lunch, I started preparing to do some welding and wood work for the van. I rearranged my shop, which is over crowded and moved the saw and welder to the yard. In the late afternoon, we attended an open house at Dawn’s apartment building. Lots of city council members, state legislators and even our congressional representative attended. Soup and roast chicken for dinner. I posted a hike for next Tuesday.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(05/20) Granola for breakfast. I tinkered with the van seat installation. I did some more cleanup outside my shop then got busy cutting plywood for Dawn’s chair foot stool. She needs a platform for the stool she uses at the sink. That needs to dry so I placed it in the van. It happens to be about the same height as the dais in the van will be so I used it to confirm the height of the 3rd seat. I cut a couple of pieces of plywood for the seat but because there won’t be a complete set of walls I only have two I can connect. After the glue dries where I connected those two pieces I’ll trim the rear panel to fit and attach a ledger boars and the top. A ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. After lunch I took a package to Kohl’s to return an incorrect Amazon shipment. I got birthday cake flags instead of garden hose caps. I stopped at Walmart for a couple of things for Lou while I was out. Back home, I tried to get the welder going for the seat belt anchorage which could also be the rear support ledger but my wire feed motor isn’t working. So now I’m not sure how to proceed. Lou made chicken salad for dinner, <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(05/21) Granola for breakfast. I made a shopping run in the morning. I stopped at Rosses and Marshall’s looking for a plastic organizer like the one I bought a while back for the van. I didn’t locate what I wanted. I also stopped at Harbor Freight, the purpose of my trip, for some stick welding rods. At the register I asked about the status of my welders warranty. It was good for another 30 days. How fortunate. My welder's wire feed motor quit working. I had them hold a replacement and returned home to get my welder. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch.I returned after lunch to Harbor Freight and swapped the old welder for a new one. Lou and Dawn came along for the ride and looked around a Bed Bath And Beyond next door. Potato salad for dinner. I moved the old washer over to the arbor where it can be used as a backup to our failed new washer.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (05/22) Granola for breakfast. I took a bike ride over to Stanford’s Arizona Cactus Garden. Lots of flowers to see. After a Tiger Chai Latte, I returned home. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. I spent the afternoon cleaning out the greenhouse. Way too much stuff in there Lots of pots pot hangers, sprinkler tubing, wire, etc. Plus scads of fertilizers and chemicals. I filled two recycle bins and our garbage bin. I now have a clear area inside. I washed the pots and saucers I might keep and left them to dry overnight. Tomorrow I’ll put some of it back in, an amount that fits, and recycle or give away the rest. Salmon with rice and carrots for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (05/23) Ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I moved all the pots I washed yesterday evening off of the lawn. I met my fellow hikers for a hike at Foothills Nature Preserve. It was a shorter version of my Other Trails Hike. The twelve of us enjoyed good weather, nice flowers and a friendly snake. Back home I had some leftover BBQ ribs with ramen noodles and chili for lunch. I made a run to ACE hardware for a barbed pipe tee to add the old washing machine to our gray water discharge system. Sauerbraten over baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(05/24) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I started by moving some furniture out to the street for pickup day tomorrow. They had been removed from the cottage and had been advertised for free for the past few days. I then got out my torch and brazed some tubing to be used as shelf support legs over the potting table. I needed to get a few things to complete the greenhouse cleanup. I headed off to shop and get lunch from Wok On Chinese Restaurant. Then I visited Harbor Freight to get a cheap tarp to be a curtain to protect the storage area from the overhead sprinkler. I also stopped by Lowe’s for some storage tubs and eyelets. Back home I completed the work in the greenhouse. Now Lou just needs to organize her fertilizers and chemicals. Salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(05/25) Granola and banana for breakfast. The morning was exciting because today was one of our free pick up days so all sorts of interesting items were placed out for pickup. We had all sorts of stuff from the greenhouse and the cottage in our pile. Watching the man add it all to the rear of the truck and get crushed. After all the excitement I got to work on the van. That began by more thinking. I then got the saw out and cut some pieces for the 3rd seat. I received my new cordless nail gun and used it to pin the main pieces together with some glue. When that had dried enough I added some corner reinforcing pieces that I had cut out while waiting. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. I finished cutting most of the pieces for the seat to be able to assemble it tomorrow. Leftover salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(05/26) I had scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast. I worked on the can seat cutting and test fitting additional pieces. Cauliflower sausage and onion soup for lunch. I finished for the day after painting the pieces. Tomorrow I can assemble the seat and add some more structure pieces. Chicken with rice and artichokes for dinner,<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(05/27) Granola and banana for breakfast. I tinkered with the van a little, then worked on rearranging all the stuff that needed to be in the shed. I managed to fit it all in. My table saw and my bike have been left outside for the past week. The clouds have returned and I wanted to be sure nothing gets caught outside in a sprinkle. Late lunch at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. Lou and Dawn had their prime rib and I had my veggie lasagna. Nibbles for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(05/28) Up early and drove up to Milbrea to the Bart Station. I caught a train to the 24th Street station where the Carnaval Parade will be. I walked up 24th Street to Tacos Del Barrio where I got torts for breakfast. I finished up about 15 minutes before the parade was to start. Nice parade but it never got warm. The parade finished at about 1300. I caught Bart back to my car and drove El Camino Real down to Redwood City where I stopped at Grocery Outlet for a couple of things and then stopped at Harry’s Hofbrau for soup and sandwich for lunch. My back was bothering me so I relaxed the rest of the day.Leftover lasagna for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(05/29) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van dinette wall panel. I had to strip off the upholstery on the panel. Lots of staples and a mess of glue that held the foam in place. Eventually I got it cleaned up. I cut it to fit the new need that the set caused. Then I painted the panel. I had a snack about 1130, chili beans and cottage cheese. Our holiday feast about 1400 was corn on the cob, potato salad, deviled eggs, with hamburgers and BBQ ribs. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(05/30) A ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I went up the hill to the Long Ridge Open Space preserve for a hike with my fellow San Jose Mid-week Hikers. Seven of us hiked a loop out to Ranch Spring trail and back, about 7.2 miles. We stopped for a snack on the ridge overlooking the mountains with the ocean just beyond. After the hike I drove back home via Saratoga stopping to get lunch at Wok On Chinese restaurant and stopped at Sprout’s Market to see if they finally have my favorite green tea. They did so I got four boxes. Back home I took a shower and relaxed. When Lou and Dawn got back from their errands, Lou surprised me with the four boxes of tea she had bought at the same market, evidently after I had gotten mine. I should have enough tea for a few days now. Ramen noodles with leftover sauerbraten beef. About 1700 I finally got outside to work on the van. I fitted the dinette wall panel and cut the reinforcing panels for it. I glued and nailed the panels together. Now the wall will be one inch thick for better ability to hold screws. The lip needed to remain only ½”. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(05/31) Banana and granola for breakfast.I tinkered installing the dinette wall panel and assembling the seat box. Lou provided a couple of cushions to use temporarily. I loaded up the van for my outing. Potato salad for lunch. I left home about 1500. I shopped my way down to Morgan Hill where I picked up some Chinese food for a later dinner. I spent some some time in Holister doing some final online needs. No phone or Internet in Pinnacles NP. I timed my arrival to a turnout near the park entrance just as it was getting dark. I enjoyed my Chinese food for dinner.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-68345584846104991312023-04-01T15:48:00.011-07:002023-09-25T17:58:38.827-07:00April 2023<b>Saturday: </b>(04/01) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I took a walk around the rocks near camp and found lots of flowers. Types, not quantity. Finding them is more like finding nuggets. I took my first shower with the van. An outside shower at the rear of the van with the doors open and a tarp across the opening. Easy enough but my pump motor relay would not stay on so I had to wait for it to pulse enough water into the accumulator to get any flow. It’s an easy enough fix for my next shower by just jumping the pump on before I start my shower. I was in no hurry to leave and in fact was considering spending another night here but I decided to move on. I returned down the hill to Baker and stopped for lunch at The Mad Greek for a pork gyro. I then continued North on Highway 127 toward Death Valley. Traffic was terrible due to a very poorly managed runners event of all the police agencies from Southern California do a relay run from Baker to Las Vegas. We have to hope that no emergencies occur in Southern California like an earthquake or the like because all there command post vehicles, ambulances, and personnel are out in the desert. 25 miles at <10 mph average. I turned off to go over to Tecopa to explore. I went out to China Ranch Date Farm for a date shake. I also found the type of southwest blanket I want for the van but didn’t get one because I’ll wait for Lou to come out and smell it to see if she can live with it. I also stopped to check a hot spring for a possible visit in the future. Since I just had a shower I didn’t want to pollute my body nor take another shower today. I continued on the Shoshone encountering more runners. Fortunately they finished at Shoshone for today. Unfortunately, it isn’t that much of a benefit since I turned onto Highway 178 at the far end of town and headed into Death Valley NP. I stopped for the night about 50 miles South of Badwater by taking a side road up about a ¼ mile from the main road. It was nice to be settled in before dark as I should do but haven’t been doing. I had a pulled pork and cheese sandwich for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (04/02) Banana and granola for breakfast. Green salad for lunch. Shepherd’s pie for dinner. After a nice banana I took a walk across the wash I was camped next to. It was a wide wash with many riverlet courses. After reaching the far side I hiked up stream and then came back on the road to the van. I discovered I had a neighbor just around a bend in the road. I then left my campsite and continued on into the park. I took hikes at Sidewinder Wash and Natural Arch as well as stopping for everything else along the way. I got to Furnace Creek about 1430 and checked into a site at Sunset campground. Later I made contact with some fellow SJMW hikers. We’ll be doing some hikes here for the next three days.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(04/03) Granola and bacon jerky for breakfast. I move over the the Visitor Center to meet my fellow hikers at 0830. We traveled down to Badwater and walked out in the salt flat. From there we headed back North stopping at Natural Bridge for a short walk to see it. Then we continued up to Artists Drive to see the colored hills. And our final stop was at Golden Canyon where we took our real hike, a 7 mile loop up to Zabriskie Point through Golden Canyon going up and back through Gower Gulch. We had gusty wind all afternoon and an effective dust storm late afternoon and evening. I had a pulled pork sandwich before the hike at the trailhead and chili and chips for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(04/04) Granola and bacon jerky for breakfast. We visited the dunes and hiked Mosaic Canyon before lunch. Ham and cheese with hummus sandwich for lunch. We then made our way to Darwin Falls Trailhead for the hike out to the falls. I couldn’t drive out the gravel ross to the trailhead because of some washout damage near the beginning of the road. I caught a ride with Dana, Mina and Rani the rest of the way. Definitely worth the drive and hike. Beautiful falls. From there I left the others and the park and continued on to Lone Pine. I got gas and more water and some orange juice at the market. I camped at Tuttle Creek BLM campground just below Mt Whitney. Ramen noodles with chili and a green salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (04/05) Rolled out of the campground around 0700. I drove out to the Alabama Hills Movie Road to see about camping there. Yes there is some camping but only in designated campsites and very soon will require a permit available online. I didn’t go past the entrance area on Movie Road because of all the re-construction happening there. I returned to downtown for breakfast at the Mt Whitney Restaurant. I enjoyed a green chili omelet. Then I was back on the road. I stopped at the Coso Rest Area and attended my Wednesday webinar there. After that I continued down to Highway 178 and headed into Kernville to look at what the recent flooding did. Not much damage to housing or businesses. The park was ravaged by the water though. I then came down Kern Canyon into Bakersfield. I stopped for an early dinner at the Rice Bowl Chinese Restaurant. I enjoyed a nice shrimp dinner. I picked up some taffy chews from Dewar's candy shop. I had difficulty deciding where to go or stay next. I finally decided it would be Walmart on Rosedale highway and if kicked out from there the TA Truck Stop at Buttonwillow. If I get to stay in town I may get breakfast at Milt’s, if not on to the Carizon Plans again. People still say the flowers are good there?<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(04/06) Granola for breakfast. I departed Walmart at 0530 with the idea to go by Milt’s for breakfast. Of course they were not open and in fact there are now gates enclosing their parking lot that were locked. I had enough doubt of their opening at all because they looked very closed. So, I headed off toward the Carrizo Plains out Highway 58 to Highway 33. I drove West of Highway 33 on Highway 58 about 5 miles before coming to a closure of the highway. You would have thought a sign might have been down at Highway 33. I returned and continued on Highway 33 through Taft to Maricopa and turned on Elkhorn Road. I’d heard reports of lots of flowers there so I took it into the Carrizo Plains Preserve. There were lots of flowers covering the hills. I stopped at a nice view point and enjoyed the view while I repaired the water pump which needed a new circuit breaker which I finally found. Then I took a nice shower. I continued the rest of the way through the preserve on the dirt road. I was fortunate to find that the van, with its front drive, was able to make it all the way. I had a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Near the end I stopped at Wallace Creek Interpretive Trail. Wallace creek has been offset a couple hundred feet by the underlying San Andreas Fault. It increases by 1.3 inches per year. Also a nice romp through the flowers there. I made my way to Paso Robles for dinner at Panda Express. In my wisdom, I thought I’d go up Highway One home. I considered checking the road status online but didn’t. Big mistake. I did pass two signs on my way up to the closure that said “No Detour” so considered the road open. I’m not sure whether they meant there wasn’t any way around the closure or that there was a detour for Northbound which they didn’t bother advising of just how to detour. Seems like the sign might have said “Road Closed Ahead”.Caltrans rarely does things properly. So, about 90 miles of wasted driving. I changed plans again and headed toward the Pinnacles for a hike tomorrow stopping at the Lockwood off ramp for the night.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(04/07) I was up at 0500 and headed on into Pinnacles NP. I parked at the Peaks View Trailhead and prepared my breakfast of ham and eggs with toast. It was sprinkling rain when I started my hike. I hiked out the Bench Trail then the old Pinnacles trail and finally the Balconies trail to the Chaparral Picnic Area on the other side of the park. The six stream crossing on the way to the Balconies cave were easy even with the high water but I needn’t have tried to keep my feet dry because the water in the cave was almost up to my knees when I passed through it. I returned via the bypass trail making this hike about 9.5 miles. I saw about 10 condors flying by Machete Ridge over the caves. I then traveled home. I stopped for lunch at Super Taqueria in Holister. Back home I cleaned the dirt and dust out of the van. Lou made onion soup with flat bread for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(04/08) Granola for breakfast. I finished leaning the van, washing the bedding and remaking it. I washed the van and motorhome. I also moved all the stuff I removed from the van for the trip back into the van. I had chili ramen noodles for lunch. Dinner was who knows what.<div><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(04/09) I prepared scrambled eggs with chili and cheese for breakfast. I took advantage of a slow morning and relaxed in bed watching TV. Later, I organized my clothes in the motorhome and moved what I didn’t need to the van for temporary storage. Basically I did all the preparation I needed to be ready to roll tomorrow. I also did the RV tank duty. I also re-programmed all the yard sprinklers to start watering again. I’m assuming the rain is over. If not, at least nothing will dry out and die while we’re gone. I also repaired a drip pipe that I had damaged when we planted a tree in the front orchard. We picked up dinner from Harry’s Houfrau in Redwood City. I had the usual veggie lasagna and they shared leg of lamb.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(04/10) Granola for breakfast. We spent all morning getting ready to leave. Still, we didn’t get away until nearly 1100. We headed up Highway 280 through San Francisco then on Highway 101. We stopped in Santa Rosa for Lou and Dawn to explore a thrift store, thoroughly, then went to lunch at Art’s Place. I had soup and a pizza, Lou had potato skins and Dawn had pesto polenta. Next we stopped at Friedman Building Supply. I found everything I’d been looking for all over home and on my drive to Death Valley. I found an oversized double Futura switch plate, some gray plastic plumbers tape and some metal plumbers tape. We then continued on through Cloverdale onto Highway 128 to our campsite at Hendy Redwoods State Park. We had an interesting time sewing the RV into the tight campsite between two trees from a narrow road. We had leftovers for dinner. I have to relearn the tricks of the RV each trip. I kept wondering why we were consuming so much power (35 amps) with nothing on it that should use it. Eventually I remembered the refrigerator needed to be set to gas ao it didn’t use the electric heating element. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(04/11) Lou made a Denver omelet for breakfast. We relaxed inside most of the day. We did have a visit from a ranger that brought our registration tag. She wanted to have us pave for the Jeep but it is included since it was towed in. Obviously a new host. I walked up to the entrance kiosk to get a tag for the Jeep as the signs advise but it isn’t manned. So, we’ll be scofflaws until we find it open. Lou made broccoli soup and toast for lunch. More relaxing. Later in the afternoon I took a walk out the Big Hendy Loop. I got lost several times. The signs were nonspecific. Eventually I made it out the the grove. I returned via the Hermit;s Hut trail to camp. About a 4 mile jaunt. We had baked potatoes, asparagus and stuffed bell peppers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (04/12) I made a Lou’s Denver omelet for our breakfast. We drove out Highway 128 to Highway 1 and up to Van Damme State Park. We looked over the campground considering a future visit. We then continued up to Mendicino and looked around town. We enjoyed visiting a great nursery. Interesting pottery, succulents and garden tools. They have things we’ve never seen before. We continued up the highway to Fort Bragg where we stopped for lunch at the Noyo Fish Company. I had fish and chips and Lou and Dawn had clam chowder. All good. In town we looked around at a farmers market then visited some shops. We also stopped at several thrift stores before doing some grocery shopping at Harvest Market. We got gas at the Red Rhino station then headed home. We arrived home about 1830 and only had a little time to run the generator to charge our batteries before curfew. We had salads for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(04/13) Granola and a banana for breakfast. Lou attended a webinar and Dawn and I relaxed all morning. PBJ bread for brunch. We drove out to the picnic area and Lou took her wheelchair and Dawn and I walked the Big Hendy Grove Upper Loop / Meadow trail. When we returned, Lou and Dawn took off and toured Boonville. I walked more trails including the Back Loop and looked at the Navarro River. Then I relaxed a while in the forest before walking back toward camp via the Eagle Trail and the Little Hendy Grove, the Azalea Trail and some unnamed trails back to camp. We all returned about the same time. They had lunch in Boonville so I had a snack of melted cheese on bread. We relaxed the rest of the afternoon while the generator caught up to our battery charge needs. Spaghetti for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(04/14) Granola and banana for breakfast. I worked all morning on our taxes. I needed to apply for an extension due to my procrastination. To do that, I needed to halfway prepare the taxes. To do that I needed to update Windows on my Windows laptop then install tax software, then update the software and then actually do some work on the taxes. I finished up about noon and we had roasted pepper and ham sandwiches and fruit salad. We then took a drive into Boonville stopping at a nursery and a bake shop before driving on via Mountain View Road to Point Arena. We explored hops and visited a library. We then drove up Highway One through Manchester where we found an outstanding Market/Hardware store. Then on to camp. We had Shepherd’s pie with tater tot topping for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(04/15) Lou made ham and eggs with hash browned potatoes for breakfast. Today was a shower day. We finally departed about 11am and considered some cider tasting but neither Lou or Dawn wanted any alcohol and I didn't want to pay 20 to get 8 ounces of samples of cider. We continued on to the Booneville Fairground and visited the library there. We ended up getting a bag of bools there. Heading onward, we drove Highway 253 to Ukiah. We stopped at several thrift stores. I visited a couple of outdoor stores. We finally had lunch about 1630 at Taqueria Michoacan North of town. Very good. After lunch we visited a couple of farm stores and Friedman's Building Supply before filling some water bottles and getting some milk and driving home. We were back at camp about 1900. No dinner needed. Black tank full, not good timing.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(04/16) After a couple of night walks to the campground bathroom we fired up the motorhome at 0700 and went to the dump. We had to beat the departing weekend crowd of RVs. We settled back into our site. Leftovers for breakfast. I had leftover ham and eggs with hashbrowns. There was also spaghetti and Mexican food. Later, Lou dropped me off at the picnic area and I took a hike up an old logging road to its end at the top of the mountain and also along the fire road to its end. I came back on a connector trail beside the river and on the meadow trail back to the picnic area. I hiked back home on the fire road. All together about 7-7.5 miles. Lou made beef stroganoff for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(04/17) Granola for breakfast. After showers we were on the road at 0915. We heard out to Highway one and down the coast to Highway 116 and on to Petaluma. We stopped for propane and gas in Sebastopol. Dawn looked around and bought a bunch of seeds at the Seed Bank in Petaluma then looked around Copperfield's Bookstore before we continued home. A long day driving two lane roads, but a pretty drive. We had lunch overlooking the ocean on a cliff along the way. We arrived home about 1900 and had leftovers for dinner. I didn’t settle the RV fully into its spot because I want to fill the gas tank and see about getting the shock absorbers replaced tomorrow.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(04/18) Granola for breakfast. I tinkered in the van. First thing, I made an appointment for the motorhome to get new shocks tomorrow morning. I installed the drinking water filter. And prepared the compost toilet with a new, drier batch of coco coir. Ramen noodles with ham for lunch. Mashed potatoes with wieners for dinner. Grapes for dessert. <br /><b><br />Wednesday:</b> (04/19) I headed off in the motorhome at 0650 toward San Jose. I had an appointment to get the shock absorbers on the MH replaced at Ross Equipment. The MH has a dangerous wobble over 55 mph when towing and anything over 45 without the toad. Bridges present a real problem due to the bump on each side. I had put off getting anything done for just procrastination reasons but had to do something after this trip reminded me of the need. I stopped for gas at Costco on the way. I was surprised it took over 40 gallons even though i had partially filled it on the way home. I checked in at the garage about 0740. I took a walk looking for breakfast while I waited. All the restaurants nearby didn’t open until after 0900 so I continued my walk to Downtown from North 10the Street. I got my favorite bacon breakfast burrito at La Victoria Taqueria on Santa Clara Street. I enjoyed eating it at an apartment complex's dog run park about a block from the garage. I returned to the shop a little before 1000 and watched my Wednesday Webinar. About 1120 the service advisor started to move the RV from where it was parked next to the waiting room trailer. I thought they were still waiting to get the parts but, no, it had been ready since 0950. The service advisor had called and left a message. My phone never rang and didn’t even show a missed call. The transcribed message was in my text messages though. The advisor started to move the FV but evidently noticed me standing in the doorway of the waiting trailer. I took care of the bill and headed home. I stopped by REI to look around and check their library. I also stopped at Sprouts Market for some of my favorite Bee’s Knees peanut butter. And, I picked up lunch from Wok On Express Chinese restaurant. I also got some carpet cleaner at Safeway to clean up the grease marks left by the mechanics shoes on the carpet. It always happens. I should have learned by now to install my own paper sheeting to protect the floor. Back home I got the MH parked and setup then transferred the stuff I had put in the van back into the MH. I tinkered a little in the Van installing some plumbers tape to anchor the water filter in place. Meili, our neighbor made a nice black eyed pea soup for our dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(04/20) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. I read the heater installation manual and watched a video on the heater installation. Then I studied how best to install the heater. Eventually I came up with a plan that should work. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. I took an extended nap in the afternoon. In the late afternoon, I got back to work on the Van. I completed securing the water filter with some plumbers tape. Split pea soup for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(04/21) I prepared a ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I then worked on the van. The first part of the “work” was to watch another video on the heater installation. In looking at the installation I decided to remove the previously installed wall panel and modify it. I wanted to make it possible to route the heater duct to the garage through part of the wall behind the . That allows more adjustment, if needed to position the hole in the floor to clear the beams and have room to work on connections below. I had a fight removing one of the screws from the panel without having to remove the batteries. I managed to lose two screwdriver bits in the wall. I’ll have to locate my magnetic extractor, if possible, to recover them. I removed the refrigerator to get access to the electrical panel and I energized the sink/water heater circuit. I got the saw out and cut some plywood to cover the portion of the wall behind the refrigerator cabinet. I also reworked the framing for where the monitor panels, thermostat and kitchen outlet will be. I prime painted the wood pieces for installation tomorrow. As part of all this work, I needed to go to Lowe’s to get some saber saw blades. That allowed me to stop by to pick up Chinese food for lunch. I also stopped at Smart and Final for some hummus and granola, which are low. I had been having difficulty locating the 5” hole saw that I needed to install the heater. Lou put me to work fixing a leak in Dawn’s garden drip water lines. I needed to get my heat gun out and found the saw blade with it. Lou made BBQ ribs with baked potatoes and a waldorf salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(04/22) I prepared ham and egg with cheese sandwiches for breakfast. We ate them in the back yard. I got distracted and rescued a couple of flowers that were growing through the cracks between the bricks on the patio. I had fun getting the key brick out but then removing about six bricks to get two plants out was easy. And once carried away, I continued and plucked the weeds out of the rest of the rear half of the walkway and patio. That occupied me until lunch. I had my leftover Chinese food for lunch and then needed a nap. I didn’t recover until 1630 when I started work on the van. I installed the replacement switches for the pump and lights by the sink. Lou had prepared sauerbraten and I added a baked potato for my dinner. Lou and Dawn were gone all day at a Vision expo and then thrifting in the San Mateo area. They had dinner at Jacks in San Mateo.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(04/23) Granola and banana for breakfast. We had the usual slow Sunday morning watching CBS Sunday Morning and Face The Nation. Then I had several Youtube subscriptions to watch. And that all took all morning. After lunch of a nice salad I finally got to a little work on the van. I installed the wood pieces in the van and removed the window frame ring to be able to screw in some wood framing pieces. After a fight to get the metal window frame ring back on I was diverted to Dawn’s place to get her Google One backup working. That took a while due to some missing requirement info from Google. Namely, for Dawn to use our family Google One account, she has to be in the same house. So, she now has her own 2TB account because her existing 200GB was full. After returning home I needed a nap to eliminate the frustration of computer fighting. About 1800 i got back to the van and installed some power and heater cables. We had more sauerbraten and baked potatoes for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(04/24) Granola for breakfast. I checked all the sprinklers to see if they are working. Then I got busy working on the van. Or at least I tried. Seemed like everything I wanted to do required a tool or part I couldn’t find. After a couple of trips to ACE Hardware for parts I got the wiring in for the electrical control panel and dinette outlets. I also got the wall panel pieces cut out for around the window. I also cut out all the holes to mount the control devices in a panel. One of the tools I looked for but didn;t find was an arbor for my 1 ⅛” hole saw blade. Eventually I gave up and headed off to Harbor Freight to get it. On one of my trips to ACE I picked up lunch at Los Altos Taqueria. I managed to get the panels varnished with a couple of coats before dinner. We had sausage and cabbage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(04/25) Granola for breakfast. I installed the wood panels that I varnished yesterday evening. I fitted all the control devices in the panel and hooked them up. Nice to see them in their final home. Lou and Dawn were heading off to look at the super bloom at Carrizo Plain NM. I prepared hamburgers for our lunch before they left. I had a nap until they left at 1500. Then I got busy on the Van again. I laid out and measured and measured again, then drilled an exploratory hole. After a final adjustment I cut the 5” hole in the floor for the heater. I then cleaned up before going to get dinner from Wok’s On Chinese restaurant.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(04/26) Happy birthday to me. Another day younger. Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van heater installation all day. That included a couple of runs to ACE Hardware for some parts. I mounted the heater itself. I installed the fuel line and fuel pump and I installed the air intake. I got about half of the exhaust done. Tomorrow I need to complete the hookup of the instied wire harness and the exhaust muffler and tie down cables and tubes of the installation. I had leftover Chinese food for lunch. Dinner at Aqui’s Restaurant in Cupertino. Lou and dawn enjoyed a drive through the Carrizo Plains NM looking for the super bloom flowers on their way to Bakersfield. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(04/27) Granola for breakfast. I was out earlier than recently because it was cooler. In the afternoon it was going to be in the 90’s, much higher inside the van. I finished installing the exhaust and securing everything. I had to make a run to ACE for some bolts. Then I finished the inside by removing the refrigerator and hooking up the power to the heater. These heaters have a history of locking out the controls due to failure of the flame to start because the fuel line needs to be primed. I was locked out as well and I couldn’t release the lockout. I ended up contacting customer service and Webasto got right back to me but I was busy with an after lunch nap. A hamburger for lunch. When I checked the email at 1500 it had some info that might help but by then it was over 107 inside the van and, of course, the heater didn’t want to start because of that as well. I’ll try early tomorrow when it should be cool enough to allow the heater to be needed. I ended up relaxing in the heat the rest of the day. Eventually I fired up the air conditioner in the motorhome to cool off. So, I did manage to change the weather by getting the heater installed. We now finally have daytime temperatures over 60 degrees. Chili and bread for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(04/28) I got up early and went out to try to get the heater to work. I couldn’t so I phoned Webasto. It turns out it was only a lack of patience. The red lights I thought indicated a failure were just indicating heat mode. When I waited longer while talking to the representative, the heater started to work. Huevos Rancheros for breakfast from Tacos El Grullense. It was hot so I relaxed the rest of the day. In the early evening after the sun went behind some trees, I caulked the underside of the heater mounting flange under the van. Loaded baked potato soup from Safeway for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(04/29) Granola for breakfast. I work much of the day organizing the van for my coming trip to Pinnacles. I removed most of the remaining materials. When I return, I work on the 3rd passenger seat and cabinet and the dais. Salad for lunch. Before dinner I rode the bike to ACE to get a battery for the compost toilet liquid full warning light. I also hooked up the power to the compost toilet vent fan. Spaghetti squash with chicken and corn on the cob for dinner. <br /><b><br /></b></div><div><b>S</b><b>unday: </b>(04/30) Lou prepared French toast for breakfast. I like to add peanut butter and jelly to mine. I finished up loading the van and left about 1100. I stocked up with food on my way. I god a super burrito, some Chinese food from Wok On, and I picked up a pizza from House of Pizza in San Jose. I then drove down and looked at the Henry Coe State Park, Dowdy Entreance to see about a possible future hike there. Next stop was at Casa De Fruita for a look around. And then on through some back roads to Holister. I filled the gas tank there then continued on toward Pinnacles NP. I didn’t enter the park but stopped about 12 miles beyond the entrance for the night.Pizza for my late lunch/dinner.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-66930386296017315142023-03-01T15:36:00.056-08:002023-09-25T15:47:20.503-07:00March 2023<b>Wednesday: </b>(03/01) Today was one of a group of three reasonably nice days before the rain returns. I worked on the van building the closet over the bed. Tomorrow I’ll remove both the microwave and closet cabinet to paint them. I also need to campher the bottom edges. I banged my head into the closet moments after starting the frame for it. I had a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Lou made wet tater tots with white sauce, peppers, onions, hamburger, olives and ? So good. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(03/02) I removed the cabinets from the van with the intention of routing a curved edge on the cabinets to reduce injuries to my head. I only got the cabinets removed when Lou preempted my day with a request to plant the two trees she bought: a lemmon and an apple tree. I had to dig two 2’ diameter 2’ deep holes and transport the clay dirt to the back yard where I needed some fill. I added some mulch to the dirt and tilled it to pulverize the clay and mix the mulch in. I then brought some of the mix back and planted the trees with it. This endeavor to a good part of my day. After lunch, since I was already dirty, I got to work on finishing the leaf and limb debris cleanup from behind the tent and cottage. I filled two more 60 gallon bins with the debris. After that, I finally returned to the planned project, the cabinets. I Added a needed 2x2 brace and trimmed another board. And then started looking for my router and router bit. I found a router and then found a bit but they don’t fit each other. The router is my ½” collet router and the bit is a ¼” shaft bit. I couldn’t find the correct router in my disorganized shop. Tomorrow I’ll either locate the router or visit Harbor Freight to solve my problem. Granola and diced pears for breakfast. Leftover Spanish rice for lunch with Lou’s homemade brownies. I had a BBQ pulled pork sandwich for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(03/03) Our third no rain day. I started my work day by cleaning out a path down the aisle in my shop. It was cluttered with cardboard cheers I saved from various purchases with the intent to use them for templates on the van build. I no longer need them. I also tied up a bunch of used lumber I’d collected. Before moving the materials back, I was able to locate my objective, my router. After putting the stuff back in a better organized manner I had more room to access stuff in the aisle. I brought out the cabinets and added deeper countersink holes where needed to get the screw heads below the surface. I then routed the edges and sanded the cabinets. I then painted a prime coat on the cabinets. After that it was getting cold and I took the rest of the day off since I didn’t know when the rain would start. Granola for breakfast. Roast chicken for lunch. Eggplant casserole for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(03/04) Granola for breakfast. I reinstalled the cabinets and sanded them. I had intended to mask the walls and floor and paint the color coat but the rain started. I decided to wait out the rain but never got back to it. We went to lunch at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. It was the usual prime rib for Lou and Dawn and lasagna for me. Of course there was the required thrift store visit and other shopping on the way home. We enjoyed the three artichokes from our garden and corn on the cob for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(03/05) A partially overcast day with occasional showers and a heavy rain last night. A nice ham egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I made a quick run to Trader Joe’s and ACE. I needed fresh masking tape. The older rolls I have keep tearing rather than unreeling. I also picked up my ciabatta rolls and eggs at TJ. I worked on the van today, masking around the cabinets and painting two coats of color paint. After the last coat I stripped the masking. Only a couple of spots where the paint got on the adjacent varnished wall panels. Roast chicken for lunch. More chicken with honey coated Brussels sprouts and rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(03/06) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van reinstalling the ceiling and wall panels that I had removed to install the cabinets. Lots of trimming to make them fit around and in the cabinets. I had to dodge the occasional sprinkles. I go all but the ceiling pieces the go inside the two cabinets. A chili relleno with rice for lunch from Tacos El Grullense for lunch. Dawn and I went to Aqui’s in Cupertino for dinner. Always interesting things on the menu.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (03/07) Granola for breakfast. I took a walk this morning. I walked over to the Arizona Garden at Stanford. I noticed a drone flying overhead. Nothing wrong with that as far as I was concerned but I was interested because it was circling around the garden. I guess my interest provided some concern for the operator so he came over to mention that it was his and he was with Stanford University. They were using the video to make a 3D model of the garden. They also used a lidar device on the ground and merged the data for the model creation. This time is the before model. They will do it again later when the garden is in bloom. I guess I may be able to check out my garden in the comfort of my man cave sometime in the future. I continued my walk into downtown Palo Alto and got a slice of pizza for lunch before heading back home via Emerson Street. My walk was about 7.3 miles. Back home I relaxed the rest of the afternoon. Lou made her zucchini and onions with sausage for dinner.<div><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(03/08) I prepared corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. While in the cooking mood, I also started pork chops with sauerkraut and potatoes for tonight's dinner. While I got carried away cooking I missed my Wednesday webinar. I’ll have to get it on Youtube later. Later I got to work on the van. I did some wet testing of the water system. I had two leaks and a gusher while testing. One leak at the output of the pump required replacing the crimp clamp. Another required more tightening of the inlet hose to the water heater. However, the third was a gusher when a connection popped apart for the feed to the pump. It turns out it hadn’t been crimped. This even after a half dozen specific checks for that potential problem. All seems to work except I’ve decided to replace the outdoor shower valve because it doesn’t allow full flow. It’s a thermostatically controlled valve. I’m replacing it with simple inline valves. I want full flow to be able to hose off things like the feet, kayak, bicycle and van. I can manage even temperature by using a timer on the hot water tank or setting the tank temperature lower. It shouldn’t take long to learn how long it takes to heat up to a nice temperature. It has a crank timer on it anyway. After a few mods, I will try again this Friday. Lou and Dawn were out all day thrifting and shopping.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(03/09) Rainy. Leftover corned beef hash for breakfast. Lou and I went to check our safe deposit box trying to locate our birth certificates. No luck. The pookas must have moved them. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (03/10) Rainy in the morning. I prepared some hash from the leftover sauerkraut potatoes and pork for breakfast. I installed the new outdoor shower valves and fittings and reworked the piping to accommodate them. Then I tested the water heater and checked everything for leaks. All seemed good. Chinese food from Wok On and Lucky Bistro for lunch. Dawn made dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(03/11) Rainy all day. Granola for breakfast. We were off early to Newark to go to a sale at Airport Appliance which Lou wanted to go to to get a new washer. She doesn’t think the old one is working well enough. We got there as they opened and found the one cheap (which I like) and low feature top loading washer (which Lou likes ). We were in the Jeep which is always fully loaded with three people, a scooter and miscellaneous junk so I returned later in the van to pick up the washer. After the purchase we stopped at several thrift stores before stopping for lunch at the Asian Cafe. I like the place and stop by when I pass by for the occasional hike. We returned home about 1530. I then had to unload all the loose stuff from the van and secure some items before I departed to pick up the washer. There was about a 25 minute wait for them to load the washer since the loading dock was busy with lots of pick ups. Salad for lunch. Chicken for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(03/12) Rainy all day so I left the washer in the van. Granola for breakfast. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Tinkered inside all day. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(03/13) Some rain in the morning and light sprinkles much of the rest of the day. Granola for breakfast. Leftovers for lunch. I also rechecked the water lines for leaks and found a slow drip on one of the vent lines which I tightened. I may have to replace the screw clamp and try to get a crimp clamp crimped in the tight access. The next project was to unload the new washer from the van and swap out the old washer. Since the old one still worksI’m planning on installing it by the greenhouse of utility use. I installed the two side walls into the shower compartment. Later, I got the table saw out and cut some pieces for the mounting of the microwave and refrigerator and ripped more 2x2 boards to finish the shower framing and Dawn’s seat. I picked up a chili relleno with rice, beans and fresh tortillas for lunch. Dawn made rice with corn, peas and chicken for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(03/14) Scrambled eggs with ham and cheese for breakfast. Heavy rain this morning followed by high winds. I couldn’t do anything outside. Later in the afternoon I attempted to go to get my license renewed but just got stuck in stopped traffic on the freeway and on other roads. I’m not sure what the stoppage was. Some of the no freeway roads traffic signals were dark which didn’t help but should have caused full stoppages on Highway 280 and Foothill Expressway. Salad for lunch. Lou and Dawn left early for a couple of appointments. Leftover rice with corn, peas and chicken for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(03/15) Lou made eggs, bacon and leftover sauerkraut potatoes for breakfast. I started to do a little cleanup of the limbs in the backyard deposited from our high winds. Our yard man arrived and pointed out I was doing his job so I found a nice chair for some tea. I usually have a webinar on Wednesdays but there wasn’t one today. So Lou and I headed off to the back to deposit a check that had been returned. You can’t do that with their app, unfortunately. That project took more time because our bank branch moved from a location 2 blocks from the house to a location in Los Altos. And, all the power was out in the village of Los Altos including our bank. So, off we went to the Sunnyvale Branch. Mission accomplished. We picked up lunch from Super Taqueria on the way home. Back home I got to work on the van, I installed a cable for the pump switch and indicator by the sink and in the rear of the van. I can wire it up on a foul weather day but the cable had to go in before the back wall of the shower goes in. I also laid out the sink valve locations and installed (temporarily) the shower valve. I also sanded and prime painted a bunch of 2x2’s and some other pieces to be used in securing the microwave and refrigerator. Dawn made spinach, chicken and rice for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(03/16) A nice day. I made a pork chop, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I made a run to ACE Hardware, Lowe’s and Home Depot and Walmart. I needed a few plumbing parts for the van and some shelf paper.I made an exception to my never shop at the MAGA Home Depot store because all my power tools at Ryobi and I needed a couple of more batteries for them. Back home, I fought the contact shelf paper trying to get it installed on the microwave and clothes compartments. I also pulled in a wire for the light under the microwave cabinet. I also made a mounting flange fore the light installation out of some plywood and then painted it. I also cut the ceiling panels for the two cabinets then varnished them. And finally, I made up some of the plumbing feeding the kitchen sink valves and the shower valve. I’m still waiting for a valve to control the hot water recycle. Salad for lunch. BBQ ribs with corn on the cob and a baked potato for dinner. <br /><b><br />Friday: </b>(03/17) Another pork chop and egg with cheese sandwich for breakfast. I worked on the van again today. I installed the ceilings in the two cabinets. I installed the light under the microwave cabinet and energized it. I mounted the microwave in its cabinet by installing the two anchors under the feet and tied it down with plumbers tape. I also installed the trim that anchors the refrigerator in its cabinet. I replaced one of the 2x2 structural members that had cutouts where they are not needed and needs more cutouts in the correct place. All in all, a productive day. I also made a parts fun to ACE for some screws. Salad for lunch Corned beef and cabbage for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(03/18) Granola for breakfast. I started to wire up the pump control switches . I installed some wire molding for the wire as it passes through the storage cabinet to the rear of the van. I also trimmed the wires to length by the shower. Then, I decided my best use of this clear day with rainy days coming soon, was to work on the sink cabinet. I have been trying to figure a way to install the wiring for the sink counter outlet nd the water heater timer to fit in the 1.5 inch wall depth of the shower wall. It is just too tight so i gave up and decided to make the lower portion of the wall 3” deep by adding a second 1.5” stud. It just goes up about 8 inches above the counter top of the sink.Above that will be a spice rack. After widening the wall I started the sink cabinet, or at least made a good start. I built the 2x2 (1.5”x1.5”) frame and added a couple of the sides. The side behind the sliding van door will include a drop down table top. The side adjacent to that will have a drop down counter extension. The inside front will have a cabinet door. I sill need to do the cabinet door which will be later when I do all the cabinet doors. I have the counter extension support on orf=der and need to get a hinge for the outside drop down table top. I now need to disassemble the sides and paint them and do some other painting the the installed cabinet framework. It’s nice to see another cabinet taking shape. I did measure and measure again and again and sill cut the side of the cabinet ⅜” too narrow. I was going to use the router to round the edge of the panel but now need to get some ¼ round molding to make that radius. Everything is fixable. A BBQ pulled pork and cheese sandwich for lunch. Leftover corned beef and cabbage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(03/19) Granola for breakfast. We had a good rain in the early morning and a forecast of possible showers all day. So, rather than bring my saw outside and dodge showers all day, I decided to do another task. Our neighbor wants to install a fence beside his garage that borders out backyard. There would only be 9 inches of space between a fence and his garage wall. We’ve tried to convince him it is a very bad idea and will end us as a rat refuge when it gets filled with leaf debris for the redwood and oak trees above it. We’ve put it off for several years but he still wants it. I have a stack of flagstone rocks that would be in part of the path so today, I moved the pile and cleared the ara so he can install his fence. It was a pile about 3’x3’x8’. I only moved it about 10’ into the tent next to it. I also cleared up the leaf debris that our recent storm left back there as well. I just cleared it three weeks ago and still filled two 60 gallon compost bins with just the new debris. Once I started I just continued to work at it not taking lunch and I finished up about 1600. After a nice shower, I had a BBQ pulled pork and cheese sandwich for lunch. Then it was nap time. I just had some ramen noodles later that night for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(03/20) Nice day even though it was a little cool. I finally got bold enough to cut a hole in the floor of the van for the ink. I also drilled a pilot hole for the shower to determine if it has clearance below. Fortunately it does. I still need to determine what size hole is best for the shower to allow access to tighten the drain tailstock. I also painted the sink cabinet pieces. To do that, I had to make a run to Lowe’s for more paint, varnish and a couple of other things. Granola for breakfast. Leftover corned beef and cabbage for lunch. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (03/21) Another extremely rainy day with high wind gusts. I relaxed in the man cafe all morning. I did some planning and material searching for the van. I found a possible counter top. Lou had another dental appointment then visited Lowe’s to make a return. When she returnee about 1300, we all went to IKEA. I needed to get the mattress for the van. Dawn is having trouble sleeping on her sofa bed at her apartment. We dropped off my new mattress there, even though my mattress is a full and her bed is a queen. We were able to determine it does seem to eliminate feeling a cross brace and does fold and collapse into the closed sofa. A nice pork chop, cheese and egg sandwich for breakfast. A late lunch at IKEA. <br /><b><br />Wednesday: </b>(03/22) I spent the day working on getting my driver’s license renewed and upgraded to a “Real ID”. My opinion of the DMV’s website is not a good one. Following the information on the website never led to either a new license, or simplification of an office visit. It wasn’t even possible to make an appointment. The only benefit of the use of the website was to take the drivers test but, even though that was accomplished, there was no indication that it had been on the website. In addition when I lagged in and confirmed it was me with a confirmation text code, I still had to enter my username and password again to get in. It even allowed me to pay my fees twice because there was no indication I had previously paid last month. Definitely an opportunity for improvement by a competent web developer. After two trips to Los Gatos, the mission is accomplished. I didn’t think the Real ID program was an effective means of identifying people and I still don’t. In fact I now have even more doubt. I now have a valid Real ID that could get me on a flight or into a Federal building but I could just as easily just printed my own. What I have until I get my new license arrives in the mail is my old license and a plain piece of paper that says I have a real ID now. Not really worth a day's effort. Granola for breakfast. Leftover corned beef and cabbage for lunch. Shepherd’s pie for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: (</b>03/23) Avocado toast for breakfast. KReinstalled the sink cabinet in the van. I modified it a bit more by adding reinforcements for the counter extension braces. I also installed the outlet for the water heater and the Water heater time switch and outlet by the sink. Lunch from Los Altos Taqueria. Dawn’s vegetable soup for dinner. Overcast with only a couple of short showers today.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(03/24) Granola for breakfast. I headed off on bus #22 to the Palo Alto Caltrain station to go up to San Francisco. I didn’t go to our closest Caltrain station because the next train that stopped there was a local and would have picked me up 30 minutes later and then taken longer to get to SF because it stopped at all stations. Once there I walked South by the bay. I stopped and looked at the bridge by the ballpark that had been attacked by two barges that came loose from their moorings during a recent heavy storm. I continued on through San Francisco State University and into the Mission District. I stopped for lunch at La Torta Gorda at 1130 after only a three mile walk. Then I caught a bur out to Golden Gate Park and walked some lesser trails out to the ocean, another three mile walk. I stopped along the way for a nap in one of the yellow Adirondack chairs. Then I caught bus 3R to Market Street and walked a little more then finally caught the N line train to the Caltrain station and back home. Leftover Shepherd’s pie for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(03/25) Granola for breakfast. Lou and I rented a trailer and moved Dawn’s bed from San Jose to her new apartment in Palo Alto and also moved the convertible bed from Palo Alto to San Jose. Dawn has had problems with convertible beds like the wall bed and the sofa. It took all day to make the moves. Lou and Dawn still need to reassemble the bed frame in her apartment. No work on the van on this sunny day.Leftover corned beef and cabbage for lunch. Chinese food for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (03/26) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van all day. Mostly I cleaned it up and emptied out the stuff that will be installed later. I also installed the new dimer button switch and all the pump control buttons and control board. I can’t test the pump yet because I need to cap off the shower valve since it wont be finished before this trip. I also cut out a piece of plywood for the sink cabinet top and painted it. It’s all just temporary for this trip. Leftover Chinese food and an artichoke from our garden for lunch. Dawn made savory pancakes with ham for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(03/27) Granola for breakfast. I started by getting the painted countertop and installing it in the van. I then secured everything in the van to get ready to roll. I then headed off in the van to our local ACE Hardware store. I parked in their lot and made numerous trips inside to get materials needed to complete the installation of the sink in the van. It wasn’t easy to fit the drain into the space available but I eventually figured a way that worked. Then I installed the sink. Since this is just temporary in that I’ll install a butcher block countertop later, I used VHB tape to secure it in place then hooked up the water lines. I couldn;t test it right away because I needed to complete the upper part of the drain line. I couldn;t find the parts needed to complete the installation at the ACE store. So, about 1300, I headed off toward Lowe’s. I stopped to get Chinese food for lunch on the way. At Lowe’s I eventually found the parts needed to complete the installation. I even did a little reworking from the morning’s try to regain more clear storage space under the sink. I made a stop on the way home for a final return of unneeded items at ACE then visited Walmart to get a smoke detector and a couple of other things. I also visited Target. I was looking for an electric blanket but didn’t find any at either store. Eggplant casserole for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(03/28) Only light sprinkles in the morning so I worked of preparing the vn to roll. I made the bed, vacuumed and dusted the van, especially the driver and passenger areas in front. And I stowed what was going with me under the bed and moved what doesn’t need to go out of the van. When the rain got worse, I headed off shopping. I visited ACE and returned as coupole of more items and bought some 15 gallon containers for under the bed. I also visited Sprouts for tea, ciabatta bread, and peanut butter. Next I visited a Walmart neighborhood market for other stocking things for the kitchen of the van. I stopped at Marshalls and bought a frying pan. And, of course, I stopped at Grocery Outlet Market for more things. Back home and more stowing things away in the van. Mostly ready but need more things from the list I keep adding to. Granola for breakfast, Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Beef stroganoff for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(03/29) Granola for breakfast. I was busy making the final preparations to leave. I emptied the holding tanks in the motorhome and filled the water. That way Lou can enjoy a get-aways spot while I’m away from the man-cave. Later, I went to Dawns apartment and we discussed some programs she’s using. Next, I was back home to attend my AlphaSoftware webinar. Then, Lou invited me to lunch at the Crepevine. A little more packing of things that were forgotten. Likely I have three times what I need for the trip. I finally got away a little after 1500. After finding the cheapest gas station and filling up, I was on the road on this inagural trip in my new adventure van. Not even an overnight trial sleep out has been done previously. Traffic was terrible on Highway 85 I’d call it screech and slow. Lots of sudden stops. I decided to just take the side roads all the way down to Gilroy where I stopped to pickup my dinner at the Longhouse restaurant. I got it to go since it was still early. Another stop at Walmart for a couple of things. One thing I wanted was an electric heater but it’s too late in the season for even a super Walmart to have any. Back on the road I creeped along on Highway 25 into Holister and then had the road to myself the rest of the ay to the Pinnacles NP. I arrived about 1830 and took a drive up to the High Peaks Trailhead for a nice post sunset silhouette photo of the High Peaks. I checked at the campground planning to camp there but they didn’t have any pay envelopes nor a posted price. Plus, there was no hone or data service. Usually we have both on our Tmobile there. That prompted me to try out along the road but I never found any service. I camped beside the road about 10 miles South of the park. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(03/30) Leftover pancakes for breakfast. I was off on the trail in some sprinkle rain at 0715. Lots of water flowing through Lower Bear Gulch Cave wasn’t bad. The fall and stream in the cave was flowing well. There was a nice waterfall where the water exits the reservoir by the staircase to the top of the dam. Weather was nice all the way but the very beginning of the hike. Great views, even some condors in the air. I finished up about 1100 and left my parking spot and drove down to the High Peaks viewing area to let others get to park at Condor Gulch parking. I was the only car there when I arrived and even when I started my hike. It was full with people looking when I finished the hike. After lunch of leftover corned beef hash and eggs at the viewing area I headed back to civilization. I did some shopping in Paso Robles and Atascadero before heading off to Carrizo Plains. National Monument. I arrived about 1930 as it was getting dark. I spent a lot of time on the way out stopping to get photos of the flowers. I didn’t see too much in the way of flowers at the monument. I planned on stopping beside the road to dispersed camp but didn’t see any good spots so I ended up getting all the way down to the Southern entrance to the preserve where I parked for the night. I had picked up dinner at Panda Express Chinese fast food joint but didn't eat it until I stopped for the night at 2100. Lucky to have a really good cell signal here. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(03/31) I was up early with a knock on the door. A ranger advised me I couldn’t camp where I did and where I could. I pulled away quickly and tried one of the dirt roads up into the hills. I quickly decided it wasn’t a good idea to continue due to the mud and ruts and the fact the early morning sun was shining directly into my face. Another thing I didn't pack was sunglasses. I came back out and continued on through Maricopa on Highway 166 to Interstate 5 and stopped for breakfast at a rest stop in Gorman. From there I continued on Highway 138 into Antelope Valley to the California Poppy Preserve. I hiked some of the trails there looking at the flowers. More poppies than other recent visits but not as many as I have seen there. There were lots of flowers in the preserve but not as many poppies as there were on nearby hills outside the preserve. I stopped in Lancaster to find some more things on my missing list. I also picked up my lunch and dinner from Panda Express again. I continued on to Barstow and stopped for gas at a TA truck center. Cheaper gas than expected in Baker where I stop for today. I checked at TA, Pilot, Love’s, and Terrible’s truck stop stores looking for a 12 volt electric blanket. None found but I did find a deal on throw blankets that were not plush, velvet, or the like. More like army or Afghan blankets. I pulled into a campsite in the Mojave Preserve after dark. There was a sign up at the entrance on Highway 127 that said the road was closed but the gates were open so I checked online and the road recently reopened. <br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-23222099368410734342023-02-01T15:25:00.018-08:002023-09-25T15:35:26.305-07:00February 2023<b>Wednesday: </b>(02/01) Granola for breakfast. Dawn made chicken soup for lunch. Leftover macaroni and cheese for dinner. I attended my Wednesday Alpha Software webinar in the morning. I also did a little office cleanup in the morning. Then I got busy on the van. I completed the framing and rough cut two of the three wall panels. I need to get another sheet of plywood to do the back wall. I then primed the frame in preparation of the final install. I can get the framing in place and screwed down before I need the third wall panel. After dinner, I made a run to ACE for a few things.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(02/02) Another chilly morning. I warmed my paint in front of the heater then sanded and reprimed the shower frame. After lunch I got out the wall panels and varnished the outside. I also painted the color coat where needed on the frame. Later, I disassembled the rank wall that has the water heater and will have the pump, air cushion and filter. When I installed the tee nuts to mount the pump I found one was not a Tee nut. So, I made a run to ACE to swap it. I goofed again. The one I got was a 10/24 not a 10/32. No fun. I also went by Lowe’s and bought another sheet of plywood for the back shower wall. Still an arm and a leg to purchase wood. I also returned a bunch of stuff to Lowe’s. Granola for breakfast. Lunch was a Quarter pounder from McDonald’s. I needed to get some french fries for Lou. I haven’t eaten anything from there in 10-15 years. It hasn’t improved. Fries are still OK though. Diner from Tacos El Grullense. I had a chili relleno and shared a super nachos with Lou. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (02/03) I made one of my hiker breakfast sandwiches, even though I’m not hiking today. We had a good rain early in the morning that faded later in the morning. I made a shopping run. I went to Walmart for a few things including a couple of pairs of jeans. They had my size so I bought two pairs. Back home I tried them on. One fit, the other was at least one size too small. I returned the bad pair later. I also bought a replacement tee nut for the troublesome one for the van. When I tried to assemble the pump and air bladder my bolts were too short. Salad for lunch. When I returned to Walmart they had some longer size bolts. Amazing how much stuff they have. Back home I installed the pump and badder and reassembled the panel back in place. I still need to wire and plumb the pump. Lou made tacos for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(02/04) A rainy morning. I prepared corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. After breakfast I decided to finish pruning the berry vines that Dawn had started. I also plucked the dead vines from the bean / squash trellis. I finished just after it had restarted to rain again. Lou fixed popcorn for lunch. She mentioned that our neighbor's car cover was loose. She’s away so I went to tie it down again. Dawn made vegetable soup which I had with toast for dinner. <br /><b><br />Sunday: </b>(02/05) A rainy day. I enjoyed a corned beef hash sandwich for breakfast. I haven’t had one of those for years. I made a quick run to Grocery Outlet for some sauerkraut and pork chops. I started the slow cooker with potatoes, sausage, pork chops and sauerkraut for dinner. Rain was intermittent and came in some heavy bursts so I tinkered inside much of the day. In the late afternoon I did some plumbing in the van installing the water lines to the pump. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(02/06) Another corned beef hash sandwich for breakfast. I was off early on the 0750 Caltrain to San Francisco. From there I caught the “T” Muni train to Chinatown. Then I was off on a random route through the city. I walked West on Washington Street to Divisadero Street. Along the way I stopped to watch three homes that are being lifted to put new foundation underneath. I talked with one of the owners about the project. Finally, her dow convinced her to continue his walk. I continued South on Divisadero until it curved, then I walked various winding streets up the hill toward the top of Mount Sutro. I continued over to Twin Peaks then came down through Glen Canyon and caught a Bart train to South San Francisco for lunch at Chevys Fresh Mex restaurant. Then I took the “ECR” Samtrans bus back home. I walked about 10 miles through the city. I was back home just after 1700. My back didn’t complain on this hike. I had some ramen noodles for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(02/07) PBJ toast for breakfast. My plans to work on the van today were minimized due to the need to act a chauffeur. I took Dawn down to San Jose State for her to tour the new anthropology lab. She didn’t feel well but was worried because it took some time to arrange the tour. She texted the professor and found it was OK to reschedule the tour when she feels better. We learned this as she had been dropped off and I was looking for parking. We’ll return later so we headed back home. Lou fried up the leftover pork with sauerkraut and potatoes with eggs for lunch. I got a few more water lines installed before another trip to Dawn’s doctor's appointment in San Jose. I picked up dinner from Super Taqueria on the way home from San Jose. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(02/08) Granola and banana for breakfast. I tinkered inside in the morning and attended my Wednesday webinar as well. Then I got to work on the van, I made some more piping connections. While I thought I had bought too many crimp rings, I ran out before just the connectors needed to bring the piping past the shower. I’m really bad at planning. I also did some searching and planning for Dawn’s seat and bed installation. Chili ramen noodles for lunch. Salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(02/09) Since I had two bell peppers left that were getting old, I made some more corned beef hash this morning. I served it with fried eggs for breakfast. I never got busy on the van today. I did work on renewing my driver's license and getting a real ID. I took a drivers test that is required for my renewal because I’m over 70. Age discrimination for sure. I now need to locate the documents for the real ID and upload them. Unfortunately our passports expired in 2016 and I haven’t been able to locate my birth certificate yet. Ramen noodles and chili again for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(02/10) Granola and banana for breakfast. I made a run to ACE for some screws. I also stopped by Costco to have them straighten out my access to their website. Hamburger a la Lou for lunch. I worked after lunch on cutting out the plywood panels I varnished a while back with appropriate notches that are needed for them to fit. The first panel actually grew a ½” each time just before I brought it back from having cut off a 1/2 “. I had to remove it at least six times. It must have been growing because otherwise I would have had to cut it three inches too wide. I got one wall level and screwed in and one panel with final fit in just before the rain started.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(02/11) Lou made zucchini with onions and sausage for breakfast. I took a walk from the house through the College Terrace neighborhood then up past the Stanford Dish and finishe up looking around the Arizona Garden before catching a bus back home. Lou callee to saw she made German potato salad and bread pudding for lunch so I shouldn’t stop for lunch on my hike. We had some heavy rain at 0200 last night and today threatened more but it did seem to do much, just a few sprinkles like just as I was walking from the bus home. I never got to work on the van today, just relaxed and napped. Corned beef hash sandwich for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (02/12) Leftover corned beef hash for breakfast. The usual lazy Sunday morning. TV shows and newly released Youtube subscriptions to view. Chinese food for lunch. I did a little work on the van cutting and fitting some framing for the shower. I finished the day prime painting the framing pieces. Dawn made scalloped potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(02/13) In the morning I went to Walmart for some things. Back home I took a walk around the neighborhood watching the sewer replacement contractor finish up his punch list patching the last of the curb cuts and paving needs. Then I did a little work on the van. I made a run to the hardware store in the afternoon for some plumbing parts. Leftover Chinese food for breakfast. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Leftover sausage, onions with zucchini and some hot and sour soup for dinner<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(02/14) Avocado toast for breakfast. It was a cloudy cold day today with home sprinkles after noon. I took a walk to Walmart and Trader Joe’s. It was about a 4 mile walk on this cold morning. I bought a serving spoon for Lou at Walmart and some ciabatta rolls at trader Joe’s for me. Lunch at Bajis Cafe in Mountain View. The afternoon was just a food coma nap. Lou made stuffed bell peppers with baked potatoes and roast cauliflower for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(02/15) Soft boiled eggs for breakfast. As a treat later in the morning, I enjoyed the first artichoke from our plants in a while. There are 5 more on the way. These are really creamy meaty artichokes. I attended my Wednesday webinar in the morning. I tried to get started on the van after that but I had problems finding things I needed. I had a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. After lunch I headed to ACE to look for some things I needed, in addition to those I tried to find this morning. Moussaka with orange carrots for dinner.. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (02/16) Granola and banana for breakfast. I headed up the hill to take a walk in Pescadero County Park. I hiked the Tarwater Trail then the Pomponio Trail and finally back to the car on the Coyote Ridge Trail. The hike was about 7 miles and took a little over 3 hours. While it was cold, there was no rain today. Chili relleno from Tacos El Grullense for lunch. I relaxed the rest of the day.Dawn’s vegetable pork rice stew for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (02/17) Lou made pear pancakes for breakfast. I worked on the van starting the construction of the over bed cabinet. First, I had to remove another ceiling panel at the rear of the van to expose the ceiling beams. I then installed a 2x2 across the beams along where the top front of the cabinet will be. I then installed some of the ¾”x ¾” boards to the edges of that 2x2 and around to top of the shower to attach the ceiling panels to. Still a lot more to do but at least it’s a start. Tomorrow I may even start to reinstall the ceiling panels. I had a ham and cheese sandwich with some leftover hot and sour soup for lunch. Lou made St louis BBQ ribs with baked potatoes and corn on the cob for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(02/18) Avocado toast for breakfast. I worked on constructing the microwave cabinet. I hung the rafter support and framed the cabinet and cut out the end pieces but only fitted one end, Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Shepherd’s pie for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(02/19) Avocado toast for breakfast. Chili rellenos with rice and chicken mole for lunch. I was busy all day completing the construction of the microwave cabinet above the refrigerator. Its a hanging cabinet that will house the microwave and have about 3 cubic feet of storage as well. I had to make a run to ACE to get some brackets to hang the cabinet. I’ll have to remove it and prime paint it then rehang it, but first, I’ll build the clothes closet as well. Pizza from A State Of Mind Pizza for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(02/20) We got a slow start leaving in the RV. We headed off about 1100. We stopped for brunch at the Longhouse Cafe in Gilroy. We love their garlic pork chops. We couldn’t check in to our campsite until 1500 so a couple of thrift stores benefited from our visits. Dawn also looked at Best Buy and an antic store downtown. We arrived at Coyote Lake County Campground about 1515. It was a nice afternoon though bit cool. BBQ ribs with baked potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (02/21) Leftover pancakes and pork chop for my breakfast. Other leftovers for Lou and Dawn. When it warmed up enough I headed off for a hike. I did an 8.5 mile loop on the Valley Oak, Calaveras, Harvey Bear, and Coyote Ridge Trails. Along the way I saw 11 deer, two coyote, and a bobcat in addition to lots of turkeys and other birds. I also came across a downed Chinese spy balloon. It was in disguise as a Valentines balloon set of three mylar balloons. It was brought down economically by an oak tree limb. All the animals were unusually calm and all remained within less than 50 feet for viewing for extended periods. Very unusual for me. I fried some pork chops with baked potatoes and added leftover orange carrots for dinner. The wind came up to 30 mph gusts just after I returned from my hike about 1330. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (02/22) Extreme gusty winds all night and some cold gusty wind today. Leftover in a sandwich for breakfast. I took a hike out the Mummy Mountain Trail out to the Mendosa trailhead and back on the Coyote Ridge Trail about a 5.5 mile loop. No wildlife seen today, by me. While I was gone, Lou and Dawn took a drive out to the dam and saw turkeys, wild pigs, and deer. Lucky them. We rolled out of camp about noon. We drove down to the Longhouse restaurant for a replay of the garlic pork chops breakfast we enjoyed on Monday. We were rolling separately. Dawn and Lou were off shopping. I headed home on the back roads and got gas on the way. The RV shocks are bad so when it is not towing the jeep, it gets into a wobble above 45 mph. I prefer the non freeway travel anyway. Leftover zucchini and sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(02/23) A cold day with ocassional showers and heavy rain in the evening. Granola for breakfast. I worked in the yard picking up items dislodged by the heavy winds of the past couple of days. I also cleaned up the back and side yard of limbs and leaves and other debris brought down by the winds. Lou’s broccoli soup for lunch. Ramen noodles and leftover pork chops for dinner.In the afternoon and evening I worked on a spreadsheet that Dawn was needing a little help with. Unusual weather. It snowed at the beach in Santa Cruz and on Pagemill Road just up the hill from the house. Also snow on all area mountains. We even had some thunder and lightning late at night.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (02/24) Heavy rain last night and this morning. I had leftover pancakes for breakfast. I lounged inside all morning out of the cold and rain. I also did a little office work. I went outside a few times and each time it started to rain again so I gave that dumb idea up. Banana bread for lunch. Pot roast for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(02/25) I made an egg, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich to start. I attended the Silicon Valley Code Camp webinar all morning which was all about ChatGPT. We had salad for lunch. Since the weather was cloudy and threatened rain occasionally, I just stayed inside most of the day. It never rained all afternoon. We did make a grocery shopping run to Smart and Final. I made some Spanish rice with hamburger, peppers, onions, salsa, black beans and rice for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(02/26) Granola and banana for breakfast. A rainy day. I relaxed inside all day. Salad for lunch. Leftover Spanish rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(02/27) Avocado toast for breakfast. I relaxed inside all day. A rainy day with a long heavy shower in the afternoon. Ramen noodles and salad for lunch. Chili beans over baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><b><br /></b><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(02/28) A really rainy day. Granola and banana for breakfast. I made a shopping run to Safeway, Walmart and REI. I got some socks at REI. I wanted to try out some ¼ length socks for hikes. Chinese food for lunch and dinner. About 1600 we went over to Stanford to an assisted device exhibit. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-48426118700186946792023-01-01T15:12:00.001-08:002023-09-25T15:25:15.384-07:00January 2023<b>Sunday: </b>(01/01) Granola for breakfast. Relaxing New Year's Sunday morning watching the morning shows. A sausage and broccoli salad for lunch. This is the only dry day that we get to count on during these recent two weeks. Ramen noodles and sausage for dinner. I tinkered only a tiny bit, putting a few things away in the van. Otherwise relaxed. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(01/02) Lou made shrimp and steamed kale for breakfast. Lou and I were off by 0930 to the Lowe’s home improvement store in San Bruno. I was looking for a shower wall surround kit and found something a a good price, space efficient and trimmable at Lowe’s and they had one ins stock in San Bruno. I had some difficulty locating it but finally found it and opened the box to confirm it was right for the job, so I bought it. Unfortunately, we were in the Jeep and it did not fit inside so I had to tie it on the roof. The unfortunate part is that we then had to hurry home due to impending rain. We had planned on a little shopping and looking around on our return home and probably lunch. Guacamole and chips with leftover pork and beans and sausage for lunch. The sprinkles and light rain came just as I started to unload the box from the roof. I relaxed in the afternoon. Leftover broccoli salad for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(01/03) Lou and Dawn were off to Costco early. I was off to Harbor Freight early (for me). I wanted to get a hardware compartment system going. I ended up getting a four tray each with 18 compartments and a small toolbox top. I’ve been having a problem locating some hardware and this kit will be good in the future for spare parts in this van. On the way home I stopped at Lowe’s to return the incorrect shelf bracket that Lou had picked up. I also looked around for some molding to protect my head from the storage shelf over the cockpit area that I keep bumping into. Nothing found. I picked up my breakfast/lunch about 1100 on the way home. I had to wait a little for two of my items to get to the fast food trays. Back home I loaded up the new bins and inspected the new shower walls and read the installation instructions. Today there were some sprinkles and threat of rain all day though it was actually pretty nice.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(01/04) A very rainy day. No breakfast. I’m trying to reduce food intake so I’m trying to eliminate breakfast. Iworked in the van a little before my Wednesday webinar. Then attended my webinar. And then returned to the van to install cable lugs and cables. I also went to get some keys for Dawn’s apartment. Breakfast and dinner were some leftover Chinese food from yesterday. Peking pork chops. 5 flavor chicken and pork fried rice. One dinner takes care of three meals for me.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(01/05) A very rainy day. I relaxed inside much of the bay. In the afternoon, I made a run to Walmart and bought a pair of Levi's. It looks like I need more long pants, for a while. About 1615 i received the #10 SO cord that I need for the van’s AC power connections. I worked on installing that cable to get power to and from the inverter. Granola for breakfast. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Roast chicken with Spanish rice for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(01/06) Nice clear day. I prepared scrambled eggs with ham and toast for breakfast. I was working on the van connecting wires when Dawn needed her computer system moved from the house to her apartment. I had to move and install the monitor and its articulate pole mount. I also had to cut two cable holes. One was used to mount her articulated arm mounted microphone. She spent the afternoon finalizing the system to her needs. Unfortunately I forgot about an additional hole that is needed so I have to return tomorrow. In today's shipments that were received along with crimp lugs, shrink tubing and terminal blocks, I received a RFID dongle reader/programmer and some dongles. I had hoped I might be able to clone Dawn’s apartment dongle but, alas, it doesn’t seem to have worked. Lou picked up burritos from Super Taqueria for lunch. For dinner Dawn made baked potatoes with grilled onions and cheese. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(01/07) A nice morning before expected rain. Lou made tortilla soup and chili. We had soup for breakfast and chili for lunch. I went over to Dawn’s apartment and sawed the last cable hole in her desk top. Back home I completed connecting the available wires at the Main and load panels and the inverter. I discovered I made a serious error and extended the solar cables with #10 wire rather than #8 as needed. I ordered the #8 cable and removed the improper wires, after having completed their termination and connection. 1517 I called the city about a sewer blockage to the street for our house. A little over an hour later a tech responded and checked the line with his camera. Unfortunately it was somewhat clear at the park strip cleanout but still to the top at the exit from the house cleanout. He opened the manhole and it was almost to the top clogged up. Seven or more feet deep. After they get that cleared I’ll still have to clear our line from the house to the park strip. So, too bad the RV tanks have a week's use on them already. An hour or more later I saw lots of flashing lights down the street and down stream. They were hydro cleaning the sewer line. They said they had already cleaned past our house. I sprayed a stream of water down our cleanout. The water level never rose higher but it never went down either. More work tomorrow. Toast and chili for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(01/08) I had a bowl of chili for breakfast/ They, i had to get to work on the sewer problem. I tried a snake and it went in 15 feet before it started folding. It doidn’t help. I tried a hose bladder but it didn’t expand big enough for the 4’ pipe. I used to have a bigger one but can’t find it now. I gave up and called for service. The first appointment is tomorrow morning. I took a shower outside. Fortunately, the weather is nice today. More chili for lunch. I worked in the van installing some shrink tubing on my connectors. I also spent some time looking and thinking. Leftover tortilla soup for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(01/09) Granola for breakfast. I got a call at 0715 from the plumbers to confirm our appointment. They arrived about 0900 and cleaned the line. Of course, the price quoted online wasn’t the actual price charged but they did find roots in our line so i relented and more to get it razor cleaned, not just opened. Cute. However, it does point out one of my future projects will be to replace the main drain line across the front yard to the park strip cleanout. They quoted around $10,000 to do that which is ridiculous. Of course, that assumes I’m still up to moving a bunch of dirt. Lou took the Jeep off early to the body shop to get some touch up work done on the repairs it had done earlier. One of the seams was improper and they were awaiting a reflector. She had to wait there for Ernie to pass by and pick her up. All flowing nicely by 1100. I replaced a bunch of sprinkler control valve batteries after that. In the Afternoon I headed off shopping. I went to Lowe’s for some needed van parts. On the return, I stopped for gas in the car, stopped at Sprout’s Market for tea, Bee’s Knees peanut butter, and ciabatta rolls. They have the best green tea and ciabatta rolls. We do miss them since they closed the Mountain View store. Next stop was at the Wok On Chinese restaurant to get lunch. From there I stopped at the Grocery Outlet Market for a couple of items. Always best to do a route when out and about. For dinner we got pizza from our nearby State Of Mind Pizza joint. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (01/10) Avocado toast for breakfast. Lou and I went over to Dawn’s apartment. Lou was busy hanging pictures on her walls. I installed a usb dual monitor adapter so now she can display her work on three screens. I also troubleshoot her video editing application. She was having difficulty getting it to see her camera. I fumbled with it until it worked again. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. I worked on the van in the afternoon. I hooked up the solar and alternator connections. Ready to possibly energize the electrical system tomorrow. Broccoli salad and a sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (01/11) Another rainy day. I prepared corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. Today was another webinar Wednesday so I attended my Alpha Software webinar. After that I worked on our taxes a little. Salads for lunch. I was worn out from doing so little so I took a nap. Later I drove Lou over to pick up the jeep from the body shop. Its final touch up and missing reflector were corrected. Back home, I did a little wiring in the van. Lou made sauerbraten with roasted potatoes for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (01/12) Today was a window day, the only non stormy day within a two week period. Not only not stormy but nice, warm and sunny. I took advantage of it and caught the train up to San Francisco. I then rode the new Chinaton extension of the T Muni train route. It makes quick work of getting to Chinatown, the direction I usually head when heading off toward the Presidio. From the end of the track, I walked out Columbus Avenue stopping for a late breakfast at a cafe getting a bacon, spinach and egg burrito. Then on to the Palace of Fine Arts I like making a loop around the pond there. Next, I hike up the Lyon Street Steps. Lots of stairs to get to the top of Russian hill. Half way up you pass Senator Pelosci’s house which has been in the news recently. I continued over to the East end of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle. I walked through it and on through the park to the beach. I then caught the N train over to Judah street and enjoyed a beef potato peasant pie and chickpea lentil soup combo for a late lunch / dinner. Then back on the N train to the Caltrain station to catch the train home. Leftover salad for dinner.<br /><br /><div><b>Friday:</b> (01/13) I provide transport to an appointment for Ernie. I did some work on the van completing all but on DC circuit breaker that is still on the way here. I also installed teo AC outlets, one for a heater that does not pass through the inverter and the second an AC outlet for the refrigerator. The refrigerator will be DC powered but has an AC option. I also reconnected the solar panel cables on the roof and installed the fuse from the alternator. They I connected the batteries and turned on the batteries and the breakers to the Solar charger and the house circuits. They all seem to work properly. I did not close the breakers from the alternator nor from the solar panels yet because I wanted to study the manuals and be ready to adjust or confirm the settings of the chargers and also have the bluetooth monitoring running as well. I need to locate a tiny screwdriver to make some final connections and install the battery temperature probes as well. Then I might have power. Leftover corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. Cottage and fruit for lunch. Tamales for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(01/14) I took Ernie to another appointment first thing today. Back home, after breakfast of granola and a banana, I got to work on the van. I finished up the last of the wiring including installing a breaker that arrived yesterday, I also hooked up all the monitoring equipment. I tested the solar charger and it worked fine providing about 7 amps. I then enabled the alternator charging and it provided 24 amps. When I turned off the solar, the alternator provided 51 amps, for a while, then it’s breaker tripped. I experienced the same problem with the charger in the motorhome which I corrected by installing a larger breaker. We had leftover sauerbraten with baked potatoes and corn on the cb for lunch. With the solar / alternator charger working well I then tested the inverter / charger. I fully charged the batteries which took about 2.5 hours charging at 75 amps. With that current through the terminals and cables I checked for hot spots with my thermal scanner. All really good except either terminal on the main fuse. When the charge was through I tightened the terminals some more. Then I tested the inverter. It works but I didn’t check it for a big load which I’ll do tomorrow with the heater. Tonight I’m testing the trickle consumption with the inverter on but no load. It looks like it might use 20 amp hours overnight. I had a couple of sweet tamales for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (01/15) Leftover corned beef hash for breakfast. I picked up Chinese food for lunch from the Wok On restaurant for me and from Lucky Bistro for Lou. I love the peking BBQ ribs from Wok On while Lou can’t eat there due to their use of cottonseed oil. I was out to get some storage containers at Lowe’s and a big tool bag from Harbor Freight. I worked on the Van some testing for a heavy load running an electric heater for 30 minutes. I also ran another test of the vehicle alternator charging. I replaced the breaker that tripped previously that comes from the alternator. After about 15 minutes, the alternator/solar charger output breaker tripped. I think it was possibly due to the terminals being ever so slightly loose and heat buildup from that. I think I’ll replace that breaker with a fuse later since it doesn’t need to be switchable. Now I just need a nice sunny day to test the solar output. And there is another problem with the fact that I can’t monitor the inverter with bluetooth. The batteries and solar charger are working fine. I’ll need to contact the manufacturer to see if it was my error doing the setup that caused it. Leftover lunch for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (01/16) Leftover corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. We had some really heave rain last night and good intermittent rain in the morning. I worked in the van. I cut the electrical cabinet top to fit now that the circuit breaker panels were installed. I also installed a pigtail cord for the DC power to the refrigerator. Then I moved the refrigerator into the van. In the afternoon we had a little sun and the refrigerator ran off the sun as well as the batteries getting topped off. My back was really bad today so I didn’t do too much more. Orange carrots and ham for lunch. Dawn made a pork roast with sweet potatoes and apples for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(01/17) I prepared a ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich using the induction cooktop in the van. Another test passed. I worked most of the day moving stuff that I won't be needing anymore from the van to storage in my shop. Next project is plumbing. I cut off the two side bed storage lids to fit behind the front cabinet line and reinstalled the lids. The end result is that I could take the van out once I get the mattress and get the bedside of the shower walls done. Having water for that would be nice but not required. Leftover hot and sour soup with cottage cheese and fruit for lunch. For dinner we had pot roast with the usual potatoes, carrots and some green beans for our garden. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(01/18) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. I Attended my Wednesday webinar. I also jumped a car for another resident at Dawn’s apartment. And I started working on installing plumbing. Unfortunately, I can't get started on cabinetry like the shower, the sink nor the closet, the microwave cabinet, the other overhead cabinets. Salad for lunch. After lunch I went up to Foothills Park for a short walk up Chamise Trail up to Arbolejo Lookout and the Vista Hill then back down to Boronda Lake then up and down the Toyon Trail back to the start. Possibly a 4 mile hike. It was nice to see some flowing water in the creeks. I then went off to Lowe’s to pick up some plumbing stuff for the van. On the way home I bought our dinner at Super Taqueria.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (01/19) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. It rained well last night but today there is little chance of more rain. Since it was wet we decided to head toward Santa Cruz to look around. That plan ended when Ernie confirmed he’d need a ride about noon. So we headed off to Ikea to look at things, in particular a mattress for the van. Meatball lunch at Ikea. I picked up Ernie after lunch. Pot roast for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (01/20) Leftover pot roast for breakfast. Lou and I headed off first thing to Lowe’s. I got a few parts for the van. We also stopped at ACE to get items not found at Lowe’s. Back home I assembled the valve manifold for the water system that, hopefully, allows the one pump to transfer water from tank to tank and to the house for use. I had to return to Lowe’s again. I made a couple of online orders for pickup. Some of these items were things I couldn’t find on the shelves. On the way home I picked up lunch from Wok on and Lucky Bistro. I ate Chinese food for lunch. After lunch I unpacked the new microwave. I gave the one I bought for the van to Dawn so I had to get another. I didn’t get it tested today. Salad and cottage cheese for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(01/21) Granola for breakfast. I went to Dawn’s apartment to look into a problem with her monitor and TV. The TV plug strip was turned off. Easy fix. Her monitor was flashing and ticking occasionally. I played with the resolution settings and all became well. While there our San Jose tennant called and said they had no hot water. I drove down to San Jose and found the pilot light out. I relit it and hung around for it to cycle before leaving. While waiting I picked up a pizza for lunch. I stopped at Harbor freight for a ⅜” allen wrench and ended up getting a micro hammer and a new wire stripper because mine has a bad cutter on it. I stopped at Lowe’s for a couple of 1 ½” PVC plugs, some teflon tape, and silicon spray. Back home I fixed the squeak in my sliding door with a couple of squirts on the door rollers. House Of Pizza pizza for lunch. I trimmed my beard and hair this afternoon. It was postponed from this morning. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (01/22) Lou made bacon and eggs with oven baked home fries for breakfast. I worked on the van in the morning. I removed the driver side water tank so that I could tighten the unused plugs on the front of the tank. I did leave holes into the electrical cabinet to access the area of the plugs but in order to access the lower plug I'd need to remove the Inverter so removing the tank was easier. With all the unused holes in the two water tanks plugged, I then pulled in a water line through the rear columns and over the rear doors to connect the two tanks. Water will be pumped either direction between the two tanks through the water line. The right side tank will be the primary tank and water will be pumped from the left to the right tanks as needed. Leftover pizza for lunch. After my late 1400 lunch I relaxed until about 1600 when I was called over to Dawn;s apartment. I helped assemble the IKEA bathroom cabinet they had bought yesterday. We had stuffed bell peppers with mashed potatoes for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(01/23) Granola for breakfast. I installed some abrasion protection on some sharp spots near the water line between the tanks. About 1000, Lou Dawn and I took off toward Santa Cruz. We explored Capitola, along the bluffs by the ocean, and downtown Santa Cruz. I got my lunch from Panda Express while they got their lunches from Togo’s. We drove home via Highway 1 toward Half Moon Bay. Enroute, Dan said she got word that the Half Moon Bay bookstore, and all HMB was in lockdown due to an active shooter. It was getting dark so we turned off toward home through Pescadero. Along the way we passed three police cars headed toward the coast. At home I saw news of another mass shooting that turned out to be the shooter in HMB. Do we bring these disasters on? Last time we took this trip to Santa Cruz and came home this way we passed the beginning of the CZU fire that burned most of the mountains from Santa Cruz to HMB. This time a mass shooting. This may be our last trip. Too dangerous. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(01/24) Granola for breakfast. I helped Lou hang pictures at Dawn;s apartment. I am the master hammerer. I then worked on the van. I performed a test of the ability of the pump to bring water up to the roof and back down to confirm I’ll be able to transfer from tank to tank. It worked well. I also did some other pipe fitting. Ham and cheese sandwich with leftover hot and sour soup for lunch. In the afternoon I brought the table saw out and cut some plywood for the top and end of the water tanks. I need the end piece to mount the water manifold on. Broccoli salad with mashed potato and diced ham for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (01/25) Lou and I went to A Good Morning restaurant for breakfast. We then headed over to Pleasanton to the fairground for an RV show. We looked over all the available RV’s and vans and confirmed nothing as good as what mine is planned to be. After we had our fill we stopped at a couple of thrift stores. We also got to fill up our gas tank, which was all but empty, with the cheapest gas in the bay area, only $3.49. It was 60 cents cheaper than the cheap gas near home. We had Safeway soup for lunch. Ham and cheese sandwich for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(01/26) Granola for breakfast. I finished installing the water tank vents. My original plan of using a PEX pipe for the vent had to change. It is too rigid to make it through the rear column to get outside. I had to go to ACE and get some vinyl tubing. I had to visit another ACE to finally locate one step PVC cement. I also painted the color coat on the panels I cut the other day. French toast and bacon for lunch. Lou made chicken pot pie for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(01/27) Leftover French toast and ham for breakfast. I started the day by doing a couple of tasks that have been on my todo list for a while. I went to the key shop to get a couple of copies of keys for the van ring (The motorhome door key and the house key). Now I don’t have to carry two sets of keys. Next, I got out the table saw and cut some boards to trim the bottom of the compartment above the water tanks. Then I primed the boards. Our neighbor made a nice vegetable soup for lunch. In the afternoon I painted the color coat on the boards I primed this morning. Later I made a run to Lowe’s to pick up some parts I ordered for the van. For dinner, I made baked potato chili sizes.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (01/28) A foggy morning but sunny later. Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van. I disassembled the passenger side water tank cabinet to allow me to lift the tank and be able to install the outlet pipe fitting. I couldn’t spin the ell that was attached to the tank. I then built a bottom for the cabinet over the tank. I also installed some tee nuts to allow installing the hot water tank to the wall of the cabinet. Then I reassembled the cabinet. Finally I installed a new cover for the rear of the tank where the valve manifold will be attached. After rearranging all the supplies that were crammed on the driver side over to the passenger side, I then did the same to the driver side cabinet. This took all day with a short nap after lunch. Ham and cheese sandwich and some broccoli salad for lunch. Three bean chicken salad noodles for dinner. Lou made some chocolate flan for dessert. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (01/29) Lou made oven omelets for breakfast. After watching the Sunday morning shows I went over to Dawn’s apartment. I installed a cable organizer channel to make her desk neater. Back home I did some more plumbing hookups. Super burrito for lunch. It was cold and breezy today so after lunch I just relaxed inside. Beef stew for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(01/30) Lou’s sweet potato pie for breakfast. I took a walk over to see the Barron Park donkeys and through the Stanford campus. Around an 8 mile hike. Nice to see Lake Lagunita full. Along the way I stopped at Coupa Cafe for a Tiger Spice Chai. I caught the bus home. Leftover omelet for lunch when I got home. Macaroni and cheese for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(01/31) Leftover macaroni and cheese for breakfast. Leftover omelet for lunch and dinner. I spent the cold (24 degree) morning relaxing. I also made a couple of camping reservations. One for Coyote Lake County park in Gilroy in a couple of weeks. We haven’t camped there before. I also made a reservation at Hendy Woods State Park in April. Lou wants to get away to camp for a while. In the afternoon I finally got to work on the van. I started framing the shower. The first problem was to level the van. It’s hard to align walls in a van with curved walls. I used my new leveling blocks to get it close to level. I managed to get the front and rear walls up. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-12963794200988721412022-12-01T11:18:00.007-08:002023-08-25T11:21:47.682-07:00December 2022<br /><br />Thursday: (12/01) Granola for breakfast. We all came to the realization that the wall bed may not be best for Dawn. First, it is a pretty heavy object that has to be securely fastened to the wall. It also doesn’t fit as well as hoped to provide access on both sides of the bed when down., So, we decided to go look at convertible sofa beds. We went to IKEA to look at beds and other things for the apartment. Before we left we got meatball sundaes for lunch. We wondered where else to see a good variety of beds and found a Living Spaces store in Fremont. Very big store but didn’t have what we really wanted and also too high priced for our budget. On the way back home we stopped at the Habitat Reuse Store. Thinking positive thoughts, we walked in and immediately found a perfect like new condition sofa bed for $550, ⅓ the cost of a new one and a much better design. We bought it but couldn’t pick it up in the Jeep then and it was too late to be able to return today. Great find considering we hadn’t started looking until today. Congee soup for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (12/02) While waiting for breakfast I tried to open the van but it’s doors were frozen shut. It took a while to get them open, I hope it isn’t a regular problem. Oatmeal for breakfast. Lou and I drove the van down to San Jose to the Habitat Restore to pick up Dawn’s new convertible sofa bed. Two strong guys tossed it into the van for us. Back up to Dawn;s apartment it was up to me, myself and I to unload it and bring it up to her apartment. Fortunately, the elevator was working. Lunch was chili sizes. In the afternoon I cut some wood to help put Dawn's furniture into the apartment. I also started to cut off the counter that is a coupl;e of feet too long. The desktop is made of particle board with plastic edges. I sawed off the edge on the end I’m cutting off. Unfortunately I forgot the length so I returned to the apartment and got distracted installing some of the pieces I had cut and rearranging some furniture and I forgot to take the measurement again. We had some ham, rice, pepper and onion stir fry for dinner. Tomorrow is another day, maybe more productive.<br /><br /><br />Saturday: (12/03) Lou made nice breakfast bowls for breakfast. Heavy continuous rain most of the day so I worked inside the van trying to cut the desktop but the saw blade wandered. I figured it had damaged teeth only on one side so one side was cutting, the other not. The neighbor has been sick and wanted me to drive her car and get gas in it. So I used it to go to ACE hardware to get a new saw blade and some fresh wood glue. I stopped by the Grocery outlet on the way back home. The new blade worked properly and zipped through the panel nice and straight. I completed sawing off the desktop for Dawn’s apartment. I then reattached the end piece. It turned out pretty nice. After lunch of a nice broccoli salad, I drove the van down to the apartment and rolled the desktop up to the apartment. I spent the rest of the day assembling Dawn’s desk furniture. I finished all but anchoring the two tall bookcases to the wall and finding out why the two small drawers in the big tall bookcase don't seem to fit. Something for tomorrow. I packed out the leftover wall bed panels and pieces and loaded them into the van in the rain. Tomorrow I will be finishing up at the apartment and cleaning the van up. Lou made a nice stale chip casserole for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Sunday: (12/04) Granola for breakfast. We all headed over to Dawn;s apartment and got to work. First order of business was to anchor the small bookcase. I bent an l-bracket to allow attaching the back of the bookcase to the closet curtain rod base. I’m trying to minimize poking holes in the walls since it is prohibited but we are in earthquake country so the walls loose. Next I started to repair some structural damage that the big cabinet had. It had evidently been dropped when the guy we got it from had removed it. I had to correct a nu;lge on both sides and find ways to reattach where some particle board wood had been fractured. After a lot of work it was back in alignment. I then found that one side panel was ¾” shorter than the other so I added a spaced block under it. With the cabinet level, I was able to anchor it to the wall and baseboard. That realignment straightened the cabinet doors so they met correctly. Next, I needed to modify the drawers so they fit. The original installation had one drawer modified to be a pull out end table. With the position we had placed it next to the sofa/bed, the table needed to be on the left side of the cabinet rather than the right side. The drawer fronts were not centered on the drawers so I needed to reverse them end to end to make them fit. Next I installed the kick plate under the front of the cabinet. I also cut out an opening in the back of the cabinet for access to the electrical outlet. My final project was to install another brace to the junction of the two desktops and install a keyboard drawer. Then I brought all the residual cabinet materials back to the house. We had a forecast of some intermittent showers for today but didn’t seem to get any. Salad for lunch. A casserole with rice, pork, peppers, onions and pineapple for dinner. Now all I have to do is find a properly sized hole saw and cut two cable access holes, one in the center of the desktop and another in the side of the bookcase/cabinet I had to rebuild next to the outlet where I had cut a hole in the back. Then it’s all up to Dawn and Lou to setup her kitchen, bath and closet.<br /><br /><br />Monday: (12/05) Granola for breakfast. We all made a Costo run to their Redwood City store for a few things like Dawn's new pot and pan set. We stopped for lunch at Tacos El Grullense where I got a Veggie burrito. Lou and Dawn shared a Super Nachos. Then I dropped them off for a quick Savers Thrift store visit. Back home I cleaned out the van and moved the materials back into it. I also received my Webasto gasoline heater. I started reading the directions. Lou made salmon soup and toast for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (12/06) We went to IKEA to get Dawn’s dining table and a few other trinkets. Lou and Dawn met with the contractors, building manager and maintenance man. Dawn has a problem with strobe lights and loud noises. Her doorbell provides both. The sound is more of a screech. The light and sound are there because they think that vision and hearing impaired people need the same features. Dawn is startled by loud sounds and it is a severe strain on her if someone pushes the doorbell. The result of the meeting with the contractor was that her doorbell somehow failed and everyone was happy, or so we hoped. Dawn got a message from one of the three project managers for her housing and the end result is that she may need to change apartments. Not good since it will take days to disassemble,relocate and reinstall her furniture, even more if the floor plan is different. Lou and I are not looking forward to having to do it. I made scrambled eggs with ham and chili for breakfast. . Lunch at IKEA. leftover breakfast hash for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (12/07) Up early, showered, dressed for the trail, prepared my trail sandwich breakfast and headed off toward Half Moon Bay and on to Purisima Creek Redwoods OSP Higgins Road Trailhead. This is a hike led by Rani, one of the San Jose Midweek Hikers organizers. It’s her neighborhood. The trails were beautiful after the recent rains. Lots of banana slugs, some salamanders, ferns, redwoods, misty tails and a load of mushrooms. It was only a 7.3 mile hike but a perfect test hike. I wore a back brace belt because my back was acting up. No problems with the back though. I drove up vis Highway 92 and returned on Highway 84. I stopped at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City for a soup and sandwich lunch. Then I stopped at the RWC Grocery Outlet before heading home. Back home, Dawn was anxious to show me her new apartment. It is the apartment one floor below her current apartment so has the same layout and the furniture should fit. It also has a traditional doorbell and no strobe light so she can survive living in it, unlike the previous apartment. After a shower, I got to work moving her furniture down one floor. I got everything except the sofa which I’ll need some help with. Lou made more squash with onions and sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Thursday: (12/08) Lou made sausage with home fried potatoes and eggs for breakfast. I spent the day finishing the furniture reinstallation, I also assembled Dawn's dining table. About 1000 We all attended the ribbon cutting ceremony. Dawn was one of the speakers. Lunch from the Lucky Chinese Bistro. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (12/09) Lou roused me from bed at 0630. She gets up much earlier so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. She suggested we dash down to Dawn’s apartment to see if the elevator was working. It was so we were able to move the sofa bed down to her new apartment. We were lucky. We finished the move and had returned up to the 3rd floor to bring the cushions down as well. When we went to leave moments later, the elevator wasn’t working again. Hopefully they eventually get it fixed. Lou dashed off to a couple of appointments. I relaxed my back. Lou and Dawn returned later and finished the final cleanup of her former apartment. We returned the keys later in the day. All moved and back to where we were a week ago. <br /><br />Scrambled eggs with ham for breakfast. We went to Aqui’s restaurant in Cupertino for lunch. Ramen noodles with sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Saturday: (12/10) Lou prepared a nice chicken dinner for breakfast. Roast chicken, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes with fresh orange cranberry sauce for breakfast. A rainy day, all day. I stayed inside the RV working. I got the desk cleared. In the evening, I got the long distance lan link working, for the distance from the house to the RV. The antennas were not at all aligned and communicated extremely well. I did need to buy a new WiFi AP for Dawn’s apartment. I should be able to complete the installation Wednesday when the AP gets here. Meanwhile, I can get the antennas installed and aligned. I had a salad for lunch. Lou made some chicken ramen noodles for dinner. Lou and Dawn made several trips to her apartment to deliver things. They also gave tours to some neighbors and friends. <br /><br /><br />Sunday: (12/11) Lou made Shepherd’s pie for breakfast. After breakfast Dawn and I drove down to San Jose. It was a combined shopping run. We stopped at our local Walmart to look at TVs. Next stop at Smart and Final for some things like my granola and hummus and other items. Then on to San Jose to Roby’s Tarp store. I’ve shopped there before and Google confirmed they are open 9-9 today. Not so. Looks like they may be gone. Next stop was at Dawn’s old apartment to pick up some things. Then a stop at the Walmart Market in Santa Clara. A lot of people there but I got through fairly quickly. Next, a stop at Harbor Freight to get a tarp. I had hoped Roby’s had a better selection of sizes. I got the closest size I could find at HF. Then a stop to get lunch to go at the Wok On Chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale. And finally a last stop at the Mountain View Best Buy to look at TVs. I pretty much know the brand and type of TV I want for Dawn but size and picture quality would be good to confirm with Dawn before buying it. Back home at 1400 it was time for lunch. It had been showering, some heavy showers all day. I took a nap the rest of the afternoon. Dawn made quesadillas for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Monday: (12/12) I tinkered outside in the morning. I relocated a camera that was mounted under our little library to view our front door. The artichokes are to big to get good views. The other front yard camera can’t get a charge from the solar panel. I replaced it with the one removed. I also stole the lan cable from an outside AP that fed the RV and used it for Dawn’s point to point master mounted on our TV antenna. Even with it pointed to Dawn’s apartment directly opposite the RV, the slave unit pointed up sill gets a really good signal. I will install the slave at Dawn’s apartment as son as I receive the new Access Point to go with it. The point to point just acts like a lan cable but doesn’t provide wifi. The AP should arrive before 10 pm tomorrow. I plan on adding two more similar units to serve Ernie’s trailer and our RV. The up and down speeds of the completely mis aligned units is still 20mbs each way. Faster than the current wifi. Leftover salad for lunch. Chili beans with ramen noodles for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (12/13) Lou made dinner for breakfast. I think this will be the norm from now on. It was Brussels sprouts with rice and salmon. I did some pruning of the neighbors wisteria that protruded into our yard. I installed the rubber rain gutter over the van sliding, passenger and drivers doors. Not much else accomplished. I mostly relaxed in the RV. Some ham with ramen noodles for lunch. In the evening, I received the WiFi Access Point and the TV mount. I took them down to Dawn’s. I installed the Point to Point transceiver and the AP and they connected but my phone said there was no Internet. When I was back home the phone still couldn;t connect with the Internet. After restarting the phone it did connect so the problem may not be the P2P but just a phone problem. Granola for dinner. Went over after dinner and yes, it was my phone but the connection is still too slow. I need a better line of sight so i need to raise the antenna at the house.<br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (12/14) Lou made a carnitas roast and roasted potatoes for breakfast. I attended my Wednesday webinar. I was called to help jump start a car at Dawn’s apartment with my trusty lithium battery jumper. I cut off the sample wastebasket I had picked up at the Reuse store when we found the sofa bed. I found it easy to cut at the appropriate height for the under bed storage. I’ll also use it for the clothes closet. I headed down to San Jose to the Reuse store again and bought 20 more baskets. The baskets cost $2 each and the container I found at the Container Store cost $18 each. Even more importantly, the basket is a standard size and has been available for many years unlike most specialty products. On the way home I picked up lunch at the Wok On Chinese restaurant and then visited Lowe’s to get some conduit and clamps for a tarp installation on Ernie’s trailer. While I was gone Dawn’s TV was delivered from Walmart. I set it up at Dawn’s apartment and prepared the mount as well but couldn’t install the mount until I return with a drill to put hole in the desktop. Breakfast granola for dinner with some vegetable juice on the side.<br /><br /><br />Thursday: (12/15) Lou made carnitas sandwiches for breakfast. I had a dentist appointment to get my teeth cleaned. Back home, after lunch of leftover Chinese food, I got busy on improving the point to point connection for Dawn. I raised the P2P antenna 10 feet higher and installed longer cables into the LAN switch. Then I headed to Dawn’s apartment and was disappointed that I didn’t even have the weak signal I had before raising the antenna. I have to admit defeat however, I do have a much better signal in the RV now using the spill over signal from the P2P antenna that is pointed to Dawn’s That darned two story apartment is too much of an obstacle now that Dawn moved down from the third floor to the second floor. I loaned Dawn my Verizon Mifi modem from the RV to use until something better can be arranged. May have to bite the bullet and use Xfinity if they ever recognize that the building exists. Granola for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (12/16) I had a slow start to the day possible due to a very cold morning. About 1000 I got busy removing the old tattered tarp from the roof of Ernie’s trailer. Then cut a couple of pipes and welded a top rail to support the tarp as an awning over Ernie's ramp and deck. And finally, I pulled the new tarp up into place. Sounds simple but takes a lot of time. I had the tarp in place and enough ties on to keep it in place overnight as it got dark. Then I had to put away all the tools, welder and such back into the shop. Enough work for the day. Lou made pork roast with sauerkraut and potatoes for breakfast. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Scrambled eggs and ham for dinner. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Saturday: (12/17) Lou made bacon and eggs with sauerkraut home fried potatoes. Broccoli salad for lunch. It was cold today and I was lazy, and cold, which ended with my not getting outside until after lunch, well after lunch. I finally went out and finished tying down the tarp on Ernie's trailer. Chili for dinner. Lou and Dawn went out shopping a couple of times. I received a couple of wire shelves for Dawn's apartment kitchen which she and Lou installed. <br /><br /><br />Sunday: (12/18) Cold morning but a nice clear day. Unfortunately, my back is still disagreeable so I relaxed inside all day. Dawn invited us to her apartment for breakfast of roast chicken and potatoes. Leftover salad for lunch. Brussels sprouts for dinner, apple pie for dessert.<br /><br /><br />Monday: (12/19) My back is still bothering me so I had to cancel my Tuesday hike. I just can’t trust that I’d make the 10 mile hike. I did prepare corned beef hash and eggs for our breakfast. Another do nothing day. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Granola and ramen noodles for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (12/20) Nice day, not sunny but not really cloudy either. We were all up early and I prepared some eggs and leftover hash for breakfast. Lou and Dawn were off toward Reno, Nevada at 0700 to pick up some kind of bookcase. I remained home to continue relaxing. More leftover hash for lunch. Lou and Dawn were headed back with their load by 1300. I picked up dinner from Los Altos Taqueria. They returned about 2000.<br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (12/21) Granola and banana for breakfast. Chinese food for lunch. Kale with shrimp for dinner. My only accomplishment was to go to Harbor Freight and prepare a tool pouch for Dawn’s apartment. <br /><br /><br />Thursday: (12/22) Lou made spaghetti for breakfast. I had chips and hummus with fresh pineapple for lunch. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. Another day of rest. I did take about a 3 mile walk stopping at the Grocery Outlet market on the way home. My list had two items, mayonnaise and pie crust mixes, neither of which they had. However, that didn’t stop me from leaving with a full bag of other items. I also went down to Dawn’s to help them raise the reassembled bookcase into place in her closet. After that they went up to Jack’s restaurant in San Mateo as a reward, I remained home relaxing. They stopped by a thrift store on the way home and enjoyed a lot of traffic on there travels.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (12/23) Scrambled egg with ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Roast chicken for lunch. Leftover spaghetti for dinner. After lunch I went outside and tinkered in the van. I cut the 10 former waste baskets for the over the wheel storage. I still have 10 more for the clothes closet when I build it. I also did some organization of the materials. And I made a run to ACE hardware for some screws I need for the electrical cabinet. There was an old bed frame a lock or so down the street that I saw yesterday. Today I brought it all home to salvage the wood for other projects, like the van build. <br /><br /><br /><br />Saturday: (12/24) Granola for breakfast. Broccoli salad and a ham sandwich for lunch. I worked on the van installing all the electronics into the most efficient locations for operation and cable routing. Now to start wairing. Roast chicken, mashed potatoes and fresh cranberry orange sauce for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Sunday: (12/25) Christmas. I had a ham egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I worked on the van between breakfast and dinner. I reorganized my materials and collected the electrical items to start wiring. I also punched some holes in the AC electric panels and mounted them. Mid afternoon we went to Dawn’s new apartment for Christmas dinner. Ernie made scalloped potatoes and green beans. Lou backed a ham, Dawn and her made dressing and cranberry orange sauce and Safeway provided ambrosia salad. Dinner later in the evening was a choice of pie. A little after 2000 the neighbor advised us of some activity in front of our house. I stepped outside and found about nine police cars in the street with lights ablaze. It turns out Mountain View police were chasing a stolen car that ran away. Police responded from Palo Alto and Menlo Park as well. One departing officer stopped and told us what had happened and wished us Merry Christmas. We thought the Christmas lights were rather bright and suggested they add some green lights as well. We were quite surprised when a Mountain View police car returned with the owners of the car. There was no damage to the car, Seemed unusual from my previous experience where the car would have been towed away to impound. <br /><br /><br />Monday: (12/26) Scrambled eggs with mashed potatoes and chili for breakfast. I worked on the van continuing modification of the AC electric panels and doing cable routing and installation to the panels. I had to go to ACE to get some parts and on my return stopped at Smart and Final for a few things. Back home, after lunch, I continued the installation of the panels. Still more wiring to do but I needed to stop early. It’s been cold today and the clouds were getting heavier. I needed to break down the bed that I picked up the other day to get it inside out of the rain. It should provide some nice usable hardwood for some future project. I finished up a little after 1600 and went inside. The rain started at 1700 with some sprinkles but shortly became very heavy rain. Broccoli salad for lunch. Ham and mashed potatoes for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (12/27) Heavy rain all night and morning. I had scrambled eggs with mashed potatoes and chili for breakfast again. I considered going out to work on the van but decided to stay inside and dry so I relaxed all morning. Broccoli salad for lunch. About 1400 I decided to go buy some Mega Lotto tickets because the jackpot is irresistible at over $600M. I then caught a but toward San Jose. I made a stop at LTV Electric Bikes in Santa Clara for a look around then continued to the San Jose house. I checked that the sump pump was working well. If there had been a problem it would have been obvious with these heavy rains. No problems. I then walked through San Jose State University into downtown San Jose then out the Alameda neighborhood until I was tired and caught a bus home. Lou called and said she wanted more cranberries so I stopped in Mountain View at the Whole Foods Market to get some before continuing home. I fixed a plate of leftover chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and dressing for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (12/28) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van making the big cables for the battery and inverter today. Dawn made some Baked Boston ham bone lentils for lunch. Baked potato, ham, and Brussels sprouts for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Thursday: (12/29) We went out to Bajis Cafe for breakfast. Leftover potatoes, chili and diced ham for lunch. A nice PBJ sandwich for dinner. I worked on the van a little splicing the wires from the Alternator to make them longer to reach the solar/alternator charger (Renogy DCC50S). I also tried to tidy up the temporary DC wiring but ran into a problem with the connectors I had gotten on Amazon. They are not too good and the ring size is too big, and I think I need spade connectors rather than ring connectors to make installation and maintenance easier. I’m really having difficulty get the wires on the terminals and getting the screw in place. So I went over to Ace to get better/proper connectors. No need to fight the installation due to a bad original plan.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (12/30) An early shopping run to Grocery Outlet, Walmart and Whole Foods. Lou made some potato soup for breakfast. I worked in the van landing all the DC wires to the main fuse block after cutting to the final length and installing the new, proper spade lugs. Much easier with the spade lugs over trying to use ring lugs. I hope they stay in place. I also removed the AC panels and installed the ground terminal blocks into the panels. Amazon delivered some #10 butt splices so I finished extending the solar wires to the charge controller area. Still need some appropriate ring connectors. Later, Lou and I went to Dawn’s to start installing some closet shelves. I needed to go to ACE to get some butt connectors for a tank heater and some screws to hang the closet shelf bars. Back to the apartment I installed the bars then needed to locate some ⅞” screws to attach the shelf boards to the brackets. Dawn and Lou went shopping and picked up soup for dinner. I had a ham and cheese sandwich while I waited for their return with soup. We had dinner at Dawn’s place and I installed screws on the lower shelf I had installed. Unfortunately, the missing shelf bracket for the second shelf was the wrong type so It will need to be replaced. <br /><br /><br />Saturday: (12/31) We’ve had steady rain for the past couple of days. Our back yard had lots of standing water and saturated ground but the pump and drain systems were working properly. It takes awhile for the water to pass through the clay soil and into the perforated pipes if it doesn’t make it into a drain inlet. Lou made hamburgers for breakfast. This morning, during breakfast, we received a high water notice on our phones. The Chaucer street Bridge was overflowing. We took a drive around town looking at the creeks. Interesting to see the water lapping against the top of the bridge and seeing the mud tracks and debris where it had been over the bridge. We picked up lunch from Lucky Chinese Bistro. Leftover Chinese for dinner.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-1176618587975509422022-11-01T23:06:00.006-07:002023-08-25T11:18:06.407-07:00November <b>Tuesday: </b>(11/01) The usual hikers sausage, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I met 13 adventurous fellow hikers, members of the San Jose Mid-week Hikers Meetup Group, that dared to join me on today’s hike. The weather forecast mentioned about ½ inch of rain during the hike. Those pesky forecasters are getting really good with their predictions. The rain did hold off for 30 additional minutes so we completed most of our hike without heavy rain. Just the last trail, an uphill stretch, was in heavy rain making the water flow down the trail like a stream and lots of slippery mud. This turned out to be a nice day for a hike. Our tour of the Los Trancos Preserve was really pretty showing off the vivid green of the trees and other greenery, all washed clean. Actually, it's nice to see some rain on our dry hills. Back home, I did have to get out of my soggy clothes. I had leftover corned beef hash for lunch. Lou made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/02) A little rain showers today in the morning. Lou made strawberry pancakes for breakfast. I attended my Alpha Software webinar in the morning. We drove up to Costco in Redwood City. On the way there, we stopped at Harry’s Hofbrau for lunch. We all had pastrami. Lou and Dawn a dinner and myself soup and sandwich. I installed the new parts of the van bed support and tank box. Dawn made a squash and chicken stew for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(11/03) I worked on the van cutting down the bed panels into smaller center boards and small cabinet doors for the ends. I had to make a run to Lowe’s for some screws and hinged so , of course, I picked up lunch on the way. I also picked up some things at Sprout’s and Walmart Neighborhood Market. When I got back home, I was able to cut the small cabinet panels to width. Their width depended on the type and placement of the hinges I got. Granola for breakfast. Chinese food from China Wok for lunch and dinner. My favorite pork fried rice, Peking pork ribs, and salt and pepper fish. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(11/04) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van this morning, reworking some things I did yesterday. I decided that some of the wood pieces I installed yesterday may put too much strain on the tanks so I removed them and increased the space by trimming /4” off the pieces. After trimming I reassembled everything. Lou and Dawn had been out all morning with appointments. We had grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. After lunch we all went down to San Jose with Meili to pick up her car from the transmission shop. She doesn’t like driving far from home so I was the driver of her car. Lou and Dawn continued on doing some thrifting on their way home. I made paper templates for some of the small wall panels yet to be installed by the rear doors. Lou made chili rellenos with peppers from the garden. They were served with roast chicken and Brussel’s sprouts. It was a fairly nice, no rain day but quite cold in the morning.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (11/05) PBJ leftover pancakes for breakfast. Lou and I went to the Smart and Final store for a few things. They have my favorite granola and I was out. We also got some good meat from their manager's special bin. Later, we all drove down to the nearest Walmart that had a battery for the Jeep. Lou has had to jump start her jeep several times recently. It’s about 4 years old now so it has had a good life. I took advantage of the trip to return some molding I needed to return to the Floor and Decor Store there. We also took advantage of the fact it was a Super Walmart that has lots of things our local store doesn’t have. Afterwards, we had lunch at the Black Bear Restaurant in Milpitas. And of course, we stopped at a thrift store heading home. Kabob vegetables with roast chicken and pickled vegetables. Overcast and misty day today. I posted a hike for Monday.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(11/06) Granola and banana for breakfast. The usual slow morning of TV news and politics. I spent most of the day cutting out small panels for around the rear doors. I also put a couple of coats of varnish on them. Salads with chicken for lunch. We had Dawn’s baked beans for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (11/07) I prepared my usual hikers breakfast ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. At 0900 I met 7 fellow San Jose Mid-week hikers at Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. We did a short 6 mile loop hike around the preserve. We had heavy rain last night and the chance of rain after noon is 45 % so that is the reason for the shorter hike. Nice clear skies, beautiful green hills, and nice fellow hikers making a good hike. I planned this hike for a new route through this preserve. It is a nice route. We finished before 1130 and I was home by noon. Salad for lunch. I painted a third coat of varnish on the van panels I’m preparing. Lou made sauerkraut with potatoes and pork chops for dinner. I had to also go out and by some PowerBall tickets because two billion dollars is two billion dollars. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(11/08) Election day and a heavy rain day. I spent all day inside. We all went down to the T-Mobile store to get apple watches for Lou and Dawn. I also, finally, set myself up for the military discount which saves us $30 dollars per month. Granola and banana for breakfast. Salad and grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. Ramen noodles and chicken for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (11/09) Still quite wet out after more rain overnight. Granola and banana for breakfast. I tinkered on the computer and attended my Wednesday AlphaSoftware webinar. Salad with half a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. In the afternoon I finally installed the new battery in Lou’s Jeep. I also added insulation in the small channels around the rear doors and installed the panels over the door. Still need to install the power outlets and side panels. Leftover sauerkraut with potatoes and pork chops for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Thursday: (11/10) Dawn’s birthday. I prepared sauerkraut potato hash with ham and eggs for breakfast. Later, we all headed off stopping at several thrift stores on our way to a visit to the Great Mall in Milpitas. It’s a big mall and we only covered half of it before we stopped for lunch, about 1430, at the Olive Garden Restaurant. I had an embarrassing moment when I tried to check out at the Burlington Outlet store. I had found a nice crepe pan and some bamboo spoons and when I tried to pay for them, I found that I didn’t have my wallet. I had to get Lou to come and save me. My wallet was residing in the bottom of the clothes washer at home having been run through a rinse before running a full load today. I really need to do a better check before I throw clothes into the laundry. I had taken thai off to rinse to get some of the insulation debris off of them before they get washed with other clothes. Now, everything in the wallet is placed out to dry. I’m a money launderer again. Also, there were several lotto tickets in the wallet waiting to be cashed in, each worth $2-7, my portion of the $2 billion dollar jackpot. Fortunately, the paper they use seems to be similar to that of money and did not disintegrate. No dinner needed due to the late lunch.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (11/11) Nice day today. Leftover sauerkraut potato hash with ham and eggs for breakfast. I made a run to ACE hardware for a couple of electrical boxes. I wanted plastic boxes and I had gotten metal boxes thinking they would fit better. I reconsidered. I installed the boxes in the rear column panels. I couldn’t finish the left panel because I need a properly sized 1 ⅛” hole saw to install the USB and cigarette lighter outlets so i ordered it on Amazon to be delivered tomorrow. I also ordered a replacement tarp to cover Ernie’s trailer’s roof. I still haven’t resealed the seams and won’t be getting to it soon. I also stopped by Grocery Outlet for some goodies on my way home from ACE. I didn't accomplish much today. In the evening Lou and I went to the Grocery Outlet and did real grocery shopping. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Dawn’s squash and sausage stew for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Saturday: (11/12) Nice but colder day. Leftover sauerkraut potato hash with ham and eggs for my breakfast. I worked in the van s usual. In the morning I added the vinyl fabric cover to the foot of the bed wall panel. Unfortunately I could do more of that because I was short fabric because I’m doing more panels now. I didn’t want to cut the piece I do have because the remainder, over half of it, would be usable on the other panel that is blocked by material stored in the van. That material will move out of the way to the rear of the van when I complete the rear. I only need to install the outlets in the electrical boxes in the rear columns. I couldn;t install the left rear column panel until I received some parts in the afternoon. When the cigarette lighter outlets and hole saw kit arrived, I installed the panel. Salad for lunch. Roast beef with squash fettuccine for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Sunday: (11/13) Granola and banana for breakfast. Lunch from the Wok On Chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale. I do like their Peking pork chops with pork fried rice and salt and pepper fish. I was out to get more vinyl fabric for the van. I stopped at REI for some energy gummies and at Sprout’s for some ciabatta rolls on the way. I couldn’t find the color of vinyl I had purchased before in the store where I got It. Fortunately, they have a separate storefront nearby and in the back corner at the very bottom, they had what I needed. Only about 3 more yards left now. I hope I don't need more. I also looked for fabric for the mattress cover and seat cushions. I’m thinking of perforated heavy vinyl. I couldn’t find anything like that. I stopped at the Sunnyvale Grocery Outlet market on the way home. I haven’t found any cheap ice cream treats at our store but they had them there. Lou made steak with mashed potatoes for dinner. I received a water leak monitor that I ordered. I’ll install it tomorrow. Our utility company says we use 468 gallons per day which seems way high for our seemingly conservative usage. We’ll see what the culprit is. The monitor records usage and has AI to identify what’s using it and whether it should be using it.<br /><br /><br />Monday: (11/14) Granola and banana for breakfast. I installed the Flume 2 water flow meter first thing. It seems to be reading our usage well. There was a 56 gallon usage at noon that I’ll have to look into what it was and whether it’s appropriate. Next thing, I upholstered and installed the two wall panels. They look pretty good. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Chili for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (11/15) The usual sausage, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I led a hike at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. It was 10 miles and had a 1600’ climb. 10 fellow hikers from San Jose Mid-week Hikers joined me. We had nice weather, nice trail conditions, and no mud. The went quite fast at 2.6mph and finished early. We had lunch at the top. Back home, I had some salad for lunch. I rested the rest of the day. Lou and Dawn made squash lasagna for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (11/16) Granola and banana for breakfast. A slow morning. I did some desk tidy up before I attended my Wednesday Alpha Software webinar. I then had an early lunch with the intention of getting to uninterrupted work on my van. But, that was not to be. Lo and Dawn were off early to an appointment at Stanford to get Lou’s phone and watch connected. They returned with word that the phone was too old for the watch. Lou had made an appointment with the manager of the Tmobile store where they bought the watches for 1300 and wanted me to go since I am the account owner for our phones. The T Mobile manager confirmed that the phone should work if it is upgraded to IOS15 so they tried to do that the rest of the afternoon but it failed. We looked around downtown Palo Alto as we waited, and waited, and waited. And then went home unsuccessful. Tostadas for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Thursday: (11/17) Scrambled eggs and ham with toast for breakfast. I took a walk by all my neighborhood projects then got busy with the van. Today turned out to be most a material acquisition and thinking day. I needed more 2x2” boards so i went down to the San Jose house to get more wood out of the attic. Lots of 2x6”x12’ boards were leftover and stored there for 20 years. I removed the last of them today and brought them home for this project. I then went by the Milpitas Walmart store and returned the battery core from the Jeep. Incidentally, since the new battery was installed and it has learned about it, the Start/Stop function works again. In the past 8 years we’ve owned this jeep, the Start/Stop function has only worked about a total of one year. Hopefully it likes this battery better and keeps working. I also returned a crepe pan I had gotten from Marshalls at the Great Mall. On the way home, I stopped for lunch from the Wok On Restaurant in Sunnyvale. Back home and more planning and thinking how to build the refrigerator cabinet and dinette seat. Leftover Chinese for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Friday: (11/18) Granola and banana for breakfast. My procrastination won so i took a drive over to CVS to get some mouthwash for Dawn. I then went to the city recreation office and tried to get my free veterans park pass but no one was in the office. Evidently they are only there on tue wed and thu. Too bad it doesn’t mention that on their website. Next stop was ACE hardware where I got some steel angle iron and paint. And finally, I filled the gas tank. Then it was time for leftover squash lasagna for lunch. That brought about nap time. Later I cleaned up my workbench which was piled up with residue from recent projects. And finally, i got out the table sawn and ripped some 2x2 boards to build the van cabinet framework. Lou made mashed potatoes with sauerbraten for dinner. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Saturday: (11/19) Granola for breakfast. I post a hike for Tuesday. Leftover squash lasagna for lunch. I worked on the van starting to build the refrigerator cabinet. After a lot of thinking and rethinking and a false start, I think I have all the pieces cut and ready to assemble after I get some appropriate screws. Received my long awaited composting toilet for the van. It’s a new product called Cuddy supposedly a modern design and cheaper. We’ll see how it works and holds up to regular use. Lou made squash with onions and sausage for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Sunday: (11/20) Leftover Sauerbraten over mashed potatoes for breakfast. I worked all day on the van, after a slow Sunday morning. I assembled the refrigerator cabinet. I then pondered how to place all the electrical equipment. I put everything in place, the refrigerator, the inverter, snd the two batteries. Popcorn for lunch. I made a list of material I needed from the Lowe’s. After an afternoon nap, We all went to Lowe’s. I picked up lots of different screws, some aluminum channel, other hardware, and some paint primer. Chili sizes for dinner.<br /><br />Monday: (11/21) I prepared ham and eggs with toast for breakfast. After breakfast Lou and I took a short walk up the block. Back home, I got busy on the van. I spent more time studying the potential layout to maximize function and efficient storage. I then got busy making modifications to the cabinet. At the end of the day I had made progress. It’s ready for painting. After all the paint dries, I'll start mounting all the components. Lou made macaroni and cheese for lunch. <br /><br />Artichoke chicken with rice for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (11/22) I made my usual hikers breakfast ham egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich. I met 16 fellow hikers at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve to lead a hike up to the top of Black Mountain. A strenuous 5.8 mile loop hike with 1100’ of climb. On the way home I had a severe sneezing attack. I must be allergic to something that is outside now. I ended up relaxing and blowing my nose the rest of the day. Roast chicken with artichokes and baked potato for dinner. <br /><br /><br />Wednesday: (11/23) Lou’s birthday. Granola and banana for breakfast. Dawn and Lou went down and signed the lease for her apartment at the building we’ve been watching be built this past year or two. Her studio apartment there at Wilton Court is really nice. Now the work begins to move her furniture from storage into the apartment. Looks Like I may be doing it by myself. Lunch at the Gourmet Haus Staudt restaurant in Redwood City. Of course, Lou and Dawn stopped off at the Savers Thrift store. Lou found a Bolt of upholstery fabric there that is a nice complementary color for the van. Just snacks for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Thursday: (11/24) Thanksgiving day. Granola and a banana for breakfast. I worked on the van again. I cut out and assembled the drawer for the electrical cabinet. I also painted a prime coat on the cabinet and drawer. We had a nice holiday dinner about 1430 of three kinds of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, yams, creamed peas with onions, fresh cranberry sauce, ambrosia, all topped off later by Lou’s apple pie. More than a typical dinner but way less than the usual Thanksgiving meal.<br /><br /><br />Friday: (11/25) Breakfast was granola with a banana. Lunch was left over Thanksgiving dinner (creamed peas and onions, chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and fresh cranberry orange sauce.) For dinner I prepared chili with scrambled eggs and cheese. I worked on doing the color top coat painting of the cabinet for the refrigerator and electrical equipment ,and then in the evening, I placed it all in the Van to avoid it getting wet. <br /><br /><br />Saturday: (11/26) More chili with scrambled eggs and cheese for breakfast. Tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. BBQ ribs with baked potato and green beans for dinner. I worked on the van installing the electrical/refrigerator cabinet. I also trimmed the drawer and installed it into the cabinet. I didn’t feel good today so I didn't schedule a hike for Tuesday. My knees and hips were complaining.<br /><br /><br />Sunday: (11/27) Granola for breakfast. Pulled pork and cheese sandwich for lunch. I installed the electrical panel board into the cabinet. I also started emptying the van to make room to carry cargo. Roast chicken with mashed potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Monday: (11/28) I completed removing uninstalled materials from the van in preparation to carry cargo. I collected the dollies and blankets and headed off to meet Lou and Dawn at her storage cubby in Santa Clara. Lou and Dawn had been to a dental appointment. I loaded all the cabinets and a bookcase into the van with assistance of the small things like drawers and such by Lou and Dawn. Another trip is needed to bring the panels like the countertop and cabinet doors. After lunch we emptied the van into her apartment. Granola for breakfast. Pulled pork and cheese sandwich for lunch. Chili with scrambled egg and cheese for dinner.<br /><br /><br />Tuesday: (11/29) Granola for breakfast. I took the van over to the Palo Alto Parks office and got my free Veterans permit. Now I’ll be able to enter Foothills park without paying. Lou and Dawn had an appointment and then met me at the storage site. We loaded up the remaining parts for her bedroom set. One large standing cabinet and all the desktops and door panels. We went to the new Country Inn location in Cupertino. Their old location burnt down a few months ago. I stopped to get gas at a cheap station in Sunnyvale, only $4.39 rather than the typical low priced station price of $4.69 and definitely less than our local stations $5.29. I also stopped by the bank. We emptied the van and moved all the furniture up to Dawn’s apartment except for one desktop panel that is too heavy and too long for me to handle by myself. Lou and Dawn can’t help lifting heavy items. I had leftovers from lunch for my dinner. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Wednesday: (11/30) Lou made deviled eggs for breakfast. We went down to the apartment to think about how and where to install the different items. After a few bad starts we came up with a play that installs a desk that is 9 feet long on two walls. It also locates the wall bed so that it has room to walk around it when it is down. And it uses a previously wall hung cabinet as a floor mounted bookcase. Amazingly, this wall bed office furniture system, which was received for free two months before Dawn got her apartment or had any idea of how the floorplan might be, ended up fitting so well. Tomorrow, I do need to cut off two feet of the large desktop that I couldn’t get up to the apartment with all the rest. After it is shortened, it will fit the wall placement and also fit into the elevator and not be so heavy I can’t handle it by myself. We finished the planning and general placement about 1330 and noticed we were very hungry. We went to Super Taqueria for lunch. We then relaxed the rest of the day. Lou made squash with onions and sausage for dinner. <br /> <div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqJm2wY8ENYRSON-ufmC-7-tMrGIt2pIuMXTd1Qg3JGCGycUk6rqeP9hQACLu2Ml0_hH3rSLZYFxd__W-qgaxZQwlpjCNLsO4wqypUJeCPQadobnxW_Ul_eDAjHbdZGGxV9abZa7E4JOw-PqRQqr0lzDzOM9-afOTrDq_QstPDvoZXOtqc-D4-o6ZwyA/s4624/20221025_125323.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Tea in the garden. We all took a bike rie through Stanford University this morning. I was on my ebike, Lou and Dawn on the quad bike. We checked out the Arizona Cactus Garden, the Rock Creek, and the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden. We had lunch and chia latte at Coupa Cafe there. We followed the bike trail along Park Avenue and beside the railroad tracks to the Stanford Shopping Mall. We returned home through the College Terrace neighborhood and through some business parking lots to stay off the busy streets. Good weather for our ride. Back home, I put a couple of coats of varnish on the back of the ceiling panels. That determined the consumption of the varnish so I headed off to Lowe’s for more varnish. Tomorrow I can flip the panels over and give the panels 3-4 coats on the side we’ll be seeing. The back was painted for moisture protection. I’ve been waiting to do any painting because of the winds recently. It was nice today and hopefully for the next couple of days as well. Dawn made vegetable soup for dinner. My onions didn’t really get big but my carrots did. They are about 3 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall. Not at all normal, but typical for my garden.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(10/02) Granola and a sausage for breakfast. I painted three coats of varnish on the display side of the ceiling panels. They appear to be ready to install. Chili with onions and cheese for lunch. Dawn made pizza for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(10/03) Granola for breakfast. I painted the van bed platform that I modified with ventilation holes and extra bracing. Leftover vegetable soup for lunch. After lunch, I worked on pulling in the wiring for the overhead bed lights and installed the rear two ceiling panels. I also trimmed and installed the rear fan edge cover. The panels look nice. Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(10/04) Ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I headed off early to lead a hike at Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve with 17 friends, members of San Jose Mid-week Hikers Group. It was 8.4 miles on a great day with beautiful views. The hilltops below were islands in a low cloud cover. Lunch was a super nachos from our neighborhood Taqueria El Gruellense. We made trips to the Grocery Outlet Market for a few things. Lou and I went at different times for different things. My trip included ice cream. For dinner I made a rice and bell peppers with sausage casserole, sort of like diced stuffed bell peppers. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/05) I was up and off early toward San Francisco. I wanted to have two adjacent hike days with some good climbs to be sure my back will be able to do the three Pinnacles hikes coming up. I was up at 0545 and caught the 0650 train to San Francisco. The reason for the early rise is because that gets me to the SF Arboretum in Golden Gate park before 0900 while the entry is free. I picked up a nice breakfast sausage, egg and potato pie before entering. I wandered about to get a good view of the fall sights, about 2-3 miles. Then I caught buses up to Sausalito. My intent was to go through a tunnel that exists just after the exit from Hwy 101 into Sausalito. Unfortunately more research should have been done. It was a long single lane, one direction at a time tunnel that did not allow pedestrians, only cars and bikes. So I walked on into Sausalito. I picked up a bacon, tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch before walking on through Sausalito climbing through the neighborhoods sometimes on hidden stairways and paths until I got to the Spenser Road parking area and took the Morning Sun Trail up to Alta Trail, then onto the Bobcat Trail to Hawk Campground. I wanted to check out the camp because I intend to backpack from the Presidio up to Sam Taylor State Park someday a,d this might be one of the stops. Nice campsites but no water available. I retraced my path but continued past the Morning Sun Trail on to the SCA Trail and the Coastal Trail to the Golden Gate Bridge. I walked across the bridge then caught the #28 bus to the Fisherman’s Wharf area. I walked up to Columbus Avenue and got a slice of pizza at Golden Boy Pizza. I enjoyed it in a nearby park then caught the #30 to the Caltrain Depot. I made it to Palo Alto about 1853 and caught the #22 bus home arriving about 1930. Long day, about 16 miles walked, 1931 feet ascent, more than I planned but a good test.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(10/06) I had leftover Spanish rice/bell pepper casserole for breakfast. Our neighbor Meili brought over some Chinese fried rice for lunch. I checked on the sewer line project in the morning and tinkered with the RV after that. We dropped off the Jeep at the collision repair shop in the afternoon. More leftover Spanish rice for dinner. No work on the van today.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (10/07) Granola for breakfast. Salad for lunch. BBQ ribs with new potatoes and fresh tomatoes from the garden for dinner. Lou and I rode the four wheeler to Safeway for a few things. I worked on the van, mostly wiring and ceiling panel preparation. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(10/08) I prepared scrambled eggs with toast and ham for breakfast. I tinkered on the computer in the morning. Later we attempted to go to the local high school flea market but they changed from the 2nd Saturday to the 3rd Saturday. So we just did some produce shopping on the way back home. Chili and wieners for lunch. I worked on the van in the afternoon. I troubleshot why the ceiling lites I installed didn’t work. Found a bad connector. I installed the rest of the panels. I still need to install the front fan shroud. And, more light problems. Now the ceiling lights turn on but not off nor will they dim. We had macaroni with cheese and chili rellenos for dinner. The peppers were from Dawn’s garden.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(10/09) Leftover macaroni and cheese for breakfast. Tomato soup with toast for lunch. Shepherd’s pie for dinner. I worked on the van cutting panels for the walls. Wednesday I’ll be busy varnishing these panels. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(10/10) The usual hikers breakfast ham, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I led a hike from Picchetti Ranch up through Stevens Creek County park and Fremont Older Preserve, a 9.4 mile loop. I only had four other hikers join me for this hike. We had good weather and conversations along the trails. After the hike I stopped by the Chinese Township restaurant for lunch of fried rice and coconut shrimp. Back home I had a nice shower and relaxed. Lou made roast chicken with mashed potatoes and homemade orange cranberry sauce. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(10/11) Leftover rice and a sausage for breakfast. Chili beans and chips for lunch. Pizza for dinner. I decided to try to donate a bunch of used solar panels I have. I tried Habitat For Humanity but they didn’t want them due to their age (10 years old). They referred me to the Builders Resource in San Francisco. I emailed the details and am waiting for a response. I finished cutting a wall panel for the van and then sanded all the panels I cut yesterday and today. Ready to paint or varnish as appropriate tomorrow.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/12) Lou made French toast for breakfast to which I added some sausage. A broccoli salad for lunch. Lou made stuffed peppers from our garden. It was served with asparagus and a baked potato. Lou believes in efficient time in the kitchen. The pepper filling was a was a common mix that she uses for Shepherd’s pie ground beef, zucchini, and onions with some peas and other things. I attended my usual Wednesday webinar then got to work painting. I did two coats of paint or varnish on the backs of all the panels and one coat on the finished side. More to do tomorrow. While the panels were drying, I headed off to Lowes to get more varnish, brushes, screws, electrical connectors and boxes. I also stopped at Grocery Outlet and Walmart Neighborhood Market for a few things. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(10/13) I put a couple of coats of varnish on the good side of the van panels. In the afternoon, while stuff was drying we all took a ride out to see the donkeys. Lou and I in the quad bike and Dawn on her Zappy trike. Dawn had trouble coming up a hill so Lou went to ride the bike up and he managed to fall off and have the bike fall on her. We had a nice visit with the donkeys who were out of their pen going for a walk in the park. Back home, Lou decided to go to Emergency to have her ribs checked. We got home about 2130 after a cat scan. No problems, just bruises. I just waited in the car near a Safeway and watched videos on my phone. Seems like if I do go toward home I never make it home before getting the call to return for pickup. I did get the van ready to roll tomorrow. Lou needs the car for a couple of appointments and I have a hike leaders hike tomorrow. French toast and sausage leftovers for breakfast. Broccoli salad and a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Soup from Safeway and a burger from Jack In The Box for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(10/14) A hiker’s breakfast ham, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast.I drove the van to Los Gatos to meet Tara for a ride to Felton for a hoke. Rich hosted a group of hike leaders at his property where he had constructed a maze of trails during the Covid shutdown. He also led us through some neighboring trails and showed us the (10back gurn area near his house that stopped the CZU fire before it got to his house. After the hike we had lunch on his patio and discussed all sorts of things including leading hikes. The van drove well and was quiet with no unusual noises with the ceiling and floor installed. After a rest I got to work on the van and installed most of the wall panels that I had recently finished. Lou made pizza for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(10/15) Granola and a banana for breakfast. I needed to plan the closet so I wanted to go to The Container Store to look at containers. Dawn joined me. Most are too fragile or too weak. I wanted containers for clothing which will all be rolled. I wanted containers of a little less than a cubic foot, soft, ventilated, and sturdy. It also must be a common brand and type so it can be replaced. I found one that matches all the requirements. Seems to be the only one that does. We then went to the IKEA store to check there. Nothing was found there but Dawn enjoyed a lunch for breakfast. Back home I checked and it seems like it will work. I’ll just need 7 more after I get the closet built. I also installed the bed wall panel that will be partially covered by the closet. I also installed the foam and fabric on the headboard wall panel and installed it. Then I installed the dinette wall panel. Ham and cheese sandwich and broccoli cheese soup for lunch. Chinese food for dinner from Lucky Chinese Bistro. <br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (10/16) PBJ toast for breakfast. I tinkered in the van in the morning. I did a little trimming to fit the water tanks against the wall and then stared at things trying to determine how to build the water tank boxes and secure the tanks. I had leftover Chinese for lunch than took Dawn out to make a pickup of Free Stuff. Then I was off to Lowe’s to look at things where i bought some aluminum angle to use to secure the tanks as well as some electrical parts and screws and washers. Lou made tamale pie for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(10/17) Leftover tamale pie with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Dawn made stew and I added toast for dinner. After the usual project inspections I got to work on the Van. I made aluminum channels to hold the tanks and cut the plywood for the box over the tanks. I also cut a wall panel for above the refrigerator. Then I painted the panels.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(10/18) Up early to attend the Alpha DevCon. It started 0600 because it is online and on the East Coast. It lasted all day. I had granola for breakfast, salad for lunch, and macaroni salad for dinner. The DevCon ended early at 1400. I then got to work on the van and painted the color coat on the panels it primed yesterday. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/19) Day two of the Alpha DeCon today. Another early rise to start at 0600. Granola for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Macaroni salad for dinner. More work on the van in the afternoon. I completed the installation of the water tanks. I had to ride the bike over to ACE to get more brackets. Because the platform for the bed is more than difficult to get in place and upon completion of the upper cabinets and shower it would be impossible. And because the platform won;t tilt up because the walls are too slanted, i have decided to redesign the bed with hinged side panels allowing access to the storage over the tanks and a hinged couch like middle section that will then be short enough to remove and with enough clearance to actually swing up. Basically it’s mostly a matter of changing the support for the platform and slicing the platform. It also provides an opportunity to fix an error I made for the end panels of the tanks which are 1.5 inches too short. In the evening I moved all the materials out of the motorhome into the van. The RV needs to be ready to roll Sunday to the Pinnacles for our visit and hikes next week.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(10/20) Day three of the Alpha DeCon today. Another early rise to start at 0600. Today’s session was longer going until 2 pm after which I needed a nap so no work on the van today. I did a little more cleanup of the RV. Scrambled eggs, sausage and toast for breakfast. Ramen noodles for lunch. Chili relleno with asparagus and refried beans for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (10/21) Day four of the Alpha DevCon today with another 0600 start. Interesting things presented but I’m glad I didn’t travel to it and see it in person. These past three years it has been virtual. Later in the afternoon we all went grocery shopping at Grocery Outlet, Smart and Final and Nob Hill markets. When you’re picky, you have to go several places. Granola and banana for breakfast. Lou’s clam fettuccine blob for lunch. The noodles fused together likely because they are gluten free. I supplemented them with more cheese and some salsa and it was quite good. Chinese food from Lucky Chinese Bistro for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(10/22) Busy in the morning preparing to leave. Fill the water, drain the holding tanks, wash the windows, unload unneeded items and restock needed items. A change of plans affected the loading. I’ll be going solo this trip. Lou and Dawn had a change of plans. Since they didn’t have to pack to go they were busy planting the winter garden. Granola and a banana for breakfast. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. I picked up dinner from Harry’s Hofbrau. <br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(10/23) I took a final good shower, folded up the RV and rolled off the leveling block. After tea in the yard and breakfast, I departed a little after 1030. One reason to leave later was to wait for my favorite restaurants to open. I picked up a Super Burrito from Super Taqueria in Sunnyvale. Next stop was at Safeway for some drinks, Wok On Chinese restaurant for a combination of peking ribs, salt and pepper fish and pork fried rice then REI for some electrolytes all at this one stop. Then I phoned in an order for a pizza at House of Pizza in San Jose. I drove down and it was ready for pickup. I learned that the RV’s shocks are bad again. It’s back to an increasing wobble side to side when a bump is encountered. Couldn’t safely go faster than 50 mph so I decided to not take the freeway but stay on minor roads. I stopped at a park on Santa Teresa Blvd to enjoy some pizza for lunch. I continued down to Hollister and took a nap before continuing on to the park. I was all settled in at 1630. Flan for breakfast. Pizza from House of Pizza for lunch. Chinese food for dinner.<br /><b><br /></b><div><b>Monday: </b>(10/24) The usual hikers breakfast sausage, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I met my 16 fellow San Jose Mid Week Hikers at the camp store and we drove up to Bear Gulch parking to start our hike. We hiked up through Bear Gulch caves to the reservoir then up through the High peaks rocks and back down on the Condor Gulch Trail. All hikers survived. Trail lunch of canned tuna salad and crackers. Late lunch back at the RV of leftover pizza. I spent the evening at another hikers camp looking at the condors flying around the ridge above camp and chatting. Dinner was leftover lasagna. <br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (10/25) The usual hikers breakfast sausage, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I was joined by 20 fellow San Jose Mid-week hikers for another hike here at Pinnacles NP. I call the hike the Grand Loop, only 10.6 miles. Nice weather, nice views , and nice conversation.Trail lunch of canned tuna salad and crackers. Late lunch back at the RV of Chinese food. Dinner was leftover hot and sour soup and pizza.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(10/26) The usual hikers breakfast sausage, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. Only seven of us hiked the North Wilderness loop today. Nice cozy small group. So much easier to not lose anyone. The usual trail lunch of canned tuna salad and crackers. Back at the RV, I had half of a Super Burrito for a late lunch and dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(10/27) Leftover fettuccine with added cheese and salsa for breakfast. I prepared to roll and moved the RV out to the High Peaks Viewing Area lot. I decided to make my bonus hike to the top of Mount Defiance. The way up is off trail for three miles. Finding the start of the way up took two tries. Since I couldn't find a way through the brambles to start where I had planned, I opted to start at a little steeper location just behind a wild pig trap. The track is not obvious for the first half mile and disappears often. Much of the trail is through sticking brambles and over loose gravel and sand and is very steep most of the way. I almost decided to admit defeat at about 2 miles up because it was already noon. But, I decided to continue and turn around by 1400. I made it to the top about 1330 and had my lunch of the usual tuna salad and crackers. Nice views of the High peaks area and everything else in any direction. I added my name to the register book. The last registration was last April. Not too many people come up here or not many register. While I got a few pokes and cuts by the brush on the way up it appears going up is with the grain and going down against the grain. Going down was like losing a fight with Edward scissor Hands. My arms were cut everywhere. My favorite hat was shredded. Mt Defiance was very defiant. I made it back to the RV at 1630 and took a shower. Then I cooked corned beef hash for dinner before leaving. Since I had to keep my speed down due to the bad shocks, I didn’t get on any freeways. I departed after 1800 and arrived home about 2100.<br /><br /><b>Friday:</b> (10/28) Leftover corned beef hash and eggs for all this morning. Leftover fettuccine with salsa and cheese for lunch. Dinner from Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City for dinner. I had a nice French dip sandwich. Lou and Dawn were busy with a housing appointment and a Social Security office visit today. I added a brace to Dawn’s squash whose trellis was falling over.<br /><br /><b>Saturday:</b> (10/29) PBJ toasted sesame dinner rolls for breakfast.I spent some time inside preparing my mail in ballot. I also drafted a hike to post for Tuesday. I still have to check with the boss to be sure I can go. Lou and Dawn were off to a story telling memorial for a member of Dawn’s storytelling group. Broccoli salad for lunch. In the afternoon I pruned the artichokes and front yard geraniums. <br /><br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(10/30) Granola for breakfast. I relaxed all day today except for some tinkering , thinking about, and demolition of the van bed. Meili prepared our lunch of a curry stew over rice. Leftovers for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(10/31) Up early to drive our neighbor’s car down to San Jose for some work on the transmission. We stopped by Dawn’s apartment at the San Jose house on the way back home. I made corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. I rechecked my measurements for the van bed and cut some new, better fitting pieces for the modification of the bed. I got the pieces cut out and primer painted.

Dinner from Super Taqueria in Sunnyvale, a super burrito for me and nachos for Lou and Dawn. <br /><br /><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xsu_VSBIzn4WJE4nb6k7FQdkSumPacS472znIu4DlueR-bo640VCVsy-VDgxfd4MyVnkzGV40eJ7E0T7Y0YVmn2piN2WPecanb3xtzAYp9bSg1xdcKJbSxhvumur-oH072O7r7hD6potqZ8FLlhOUwdA0WioQKHdmozLANdjDCboj2w5fBo_cu_Saw/s4624/20221001_102140.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

They are really productive. Lou and Dawn were off early to get another estimate to repair the Jeep. Then they went to the rental storage place in Santa Clara to unload the stuff for Dawn’s wall bed from the Jeep. I headed off to meet them but stopped at the bank and Walmart to get a lock. We unloaded the rest of the wall bed and bedroom/office system from the van. It went pretty easily utilizing my flat bed wagon, Lego rubber mats and plywood handles. After lunch I stopped at Sprouts Market on the way home. Our local Sprout’s closed and I must get my green tea and Bee’s Knees peanut butter there. Back home, I put away the tools, moving pads and blankets, wagon, etc. to provide an empty van again. Too hot and tired to do more today. Granola for breakfast. Lunch at Panera Bread, Baja Bowls for all. Leftover onions soup and coconut shrimp with rice for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(09/02) Walk-about day. I was off to catch the 0727 Caltrain to San Francisco. The train arrived on time, I didn't, so I had to run under the underpass and quickly tag on as the doors tried to close in my face. In San Francisco, I had to use the bathroom then caught the next Muni trolley to Golden Gate Park. Again, I arrived late for the free entry into the arboretum. Missed it by 30 seconds. The rest of the day went better. I changed from a walk in the Arboretum to a neighborhood walk. I explored Buena Vista Park on my way down into the Mission District zigging and zagging my way. I had left this morning without my overshirt and it didn’t get above 60 degrees until after noon. Since it was cold most of the day and I didn’t want a late return this evening, I headed home early. I was back in Palo Alto about 1430. I spotted a crane helping to mount precast concrete wall panels on the new Police Building on my way home and that captured my attention for a couple of more hours. I had a Peasant Pie breakfast, a sausage, egg and potato pie. Lunch at La Torta Gorda, a carnitas torta. Leftover shrimp and rice for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday: </b>(09/03) A hot day. I made templates and cut two of the three floor panels today. Granola and banana for breakfast. Dawn’s gruel for lunch. Beef noodles with green beans for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (09/04) A hot day. I cut out the third floor panel then prime painted one side. I prepare hash browned potatoes with a Denver omelet for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Lou made tuna noodle casserole for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday:</b> (09/05) Labor Day, which means nothing to the retired. I started and ended my work day by painting a coat of primer on the bottom of the floor panels. After the morning coat of paint, I ran out of primer. After a shower, I headed off to Lowe’s and got more primer and some brushes as well as some EMT conduits for Lou to use on the new grape arbor over the swing. I then headed off to look at flooring. The first place was closed due to the holiday. Floors And Decor in Milpitas was open and had a good selection so I bought some click together oak plank vinyl flooring. After a nice nap I painted the second coat and took another shower. It was hot today, about 104 degrees. Leftover hash browned potatoes and Denver omelet for breakfast. A late lunch from China Wok in Sunnyvale. Leftover Chinese food for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(09/06) I started my day by painting the top sides of the floor panels with their second coats. After another shower, I prepared an egg, ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Today was another record hot day. At least 103 degrees but likely more. After a little hiding inside to cool off I decided I needed some spacers for the floor support so I got out the table saw and cut them then prime painted them. Meanwhile, Lou was at the optometrist to get her glasses adjusted. Our San Jose tenant works there and said her refrigerator was freezing her vegetables in the crisper. I had to drive down to see if I could fix it. Even though Lou had tried previously to just have her adjust it, She evidently didn’t so I set it lower. I checked Dawn’s apartment then picked up a burrito from La Victoria for a late lunch on the way home. I also got gas and stopped at ACE to get some construction adhesive before getting home. I received the gray water tank this afternoon as well. Salad for dinner.
PA-SJ-PA trip to check the refrigerator. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday: </b>(09/07) Granola for breakfast. I attended my Wednesday webinar. Then I spent some time on the computer and designing van layouts. PBJ toast for lunch. We all went out in the afternoon. Dawn had an appointment and then we dropped her off to shop while I took Lou to an appointment. After the appointment, Lou and I went grocery shopping at Walmart and Smart and Final. I opened the gray water tank and looked it over. I now realize I need to be careful about penetrations through the floor because there is no clearance from the tank. I’ll need to use nutserts in the high part of the ridges to anchor the floor, shower, and cabinets. Dinner from Lucky Chinese Bistro. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday: </b>(09/08) PBJ toast for breakfast. I installed a stake for a sunflower growing in the blackberries by the rear fence. It is over 12 feet tall and started to lean over as the flowers started to bloom. Then I installed the wire frames on top of the swing for the grapevine to grow onto. Lou made peach blintzes for lunch. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday:</b> (09/09) I tried to get started working on the van a couple of times but managed to convince myself relaxing was a better option. Lou and Dawn were out with appointments and shopping today. The van had one of its spells where it says the battery is dead. It should have been dead with the charger still connected and I measured 13 volts with the jumper before I turned on the battery. Not sure if that is a valid indication but it seems like an odd problem. Onion soup and toast for breakfast. Ham, cheese and hummus sandwich for lunch. Artichokes from our second growth from the garden with macaroni salad for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday: </b>(09/10) I made an egg, cheese and bologna breakfast sandwich. Then I scheduled a hike for next Tuesday. This will be the first hike I’ve led since mid May. I decided to head over to the Pleasanton Fairgrounds for a Tiny Fest. A Tiny Fest is all about living small. Tiny homes and converted vans and other vehicles were on display. I enjoyed looking at all the vans and homes and also bought my Moon Shade from the vendor. The Moon Shade is a tent like awning for vans. It is attached to the van by magnet anchors and stands on two legs. It is much more wind resistant than an awning. It can be placed on any side of the van so provides lots of options for shade. On the way over to the Fairgrounds I stopped for lunch at the Asian??? Chinese restaurant for some pork chow mein and walnut honey shrimp. Dinner at home was mostly from the garden. Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, ham and olives </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (09/11) I prepared ham, eggs and toast for breakfast. I set up my new Moon Shade on the van. It’s like an awning but built more like a tent or umbrella so is more compact and more wind proof. I had to go to ACE to get some cable clamps to use as permanent loops on my roof rails rather than using the suction cup anchors provided.. Corn chowder with toast for lunch.
In the later afternoon I removed a lot of moldings from the driver side and ran the #6 wires to the vehicle battery which will connect the battery to the solar charger. We had chili verde on ramen noodles for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday:</b> (09/12) Granola for breakfast. I went to Lowe’s to look for some metal strips to hang the ceiling panels with. I would have liked to use Flanged L-track but it would have cost about $500 to do the ceiling. Soooo, Plan B, use 1 ½”x ⅛” aluminum bars instead. Lowe’s didn’t have appropriate lengths, either too short or too much waste. The waste drove up the cost. SO, plan C. I checked the flooring department and found some aluminum panel couplers that look good, are wide enough, come in 6’ lengths and aren’t expensive. Back home, I cut a ceiling panel and hug it with a couple of the pieces of aluminum and it looks pretty good. I also worked on cutting and fitting the roof framing to attach the ceiling and the front and rear where there are not supports like in the middle. I am still waiting for the bolts to attach the floor panels, They won’t be here until Friday. But I’ve been worried they would be too short for the way I now intend to place the bolts. Metric confuses me. So, I got a similar bolt and yes they would be too short so I ordered some from Amazon. This new order will arrive three days before the first order. I should have just ordered the correct bolts in the first place but I was trying to avoid penetration into the gray water tank. Now, I don't intend to place any bolts in locations where they would have that possibility. I may just add some adhesive if needed. I also received the correct eye bolts for the awning attachment so I installed them. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. French fries with chili and sliced tomatoes from the garden for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday:</b> (09/13) I prepared my usual ham, egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich for breakfast. I went up to Foothills Preserve to lead a hike with the San Jose Mid Week Hikers. I was joined by 20 other hikers. It was only a 7.6 mile hike. Nice day, great views, nice company. For lunch, I stopped at Panda Express for some fried rice and walnut honey shrimp. Lou made roast pork with baked potatoes for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (09/14) I worked in the garden to start. Picked the daily bean and tomato crop. I also routed some of the grape vine runners onto the new arbor on the swing. Next, I made a bike run to the market for salads, milk and cheese. The van battery was dead again so I ran the engine for a while, turned off the vent fan and checked that the trickle charger was working. Granola for breakfast. I attended my Wednesday webinar. A salad for lunch. In the afternoon I cut three more ceiling panels for the van. We had roast pork with ramen noodles and garden tomatoes for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday:</b> (09/15) Granola for breakfast. I worked on anchoring the first floor panel in the morning. Lou and Dawn were off to the dentist, as I did later. I had a super nacho from Tacos El Grullense for lunch. Lou and Dawn stopped at Applebee’s. I completed attaching the first floor panel. I had lots of trouble with the nutserts. I had leftover salad for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(09/16) Lou made peach blintzes for breakfast. I laid the other two floor panels on the floor. I decided not to use any more nutserts to attach the floor because they haven’t been easy to use and don’t seem to work any better than just using sheet metal screws. Unfortunately, I don't have the required length of flat head screws to use so I have to wait to attach the panels. I did reinstall the two under bed wall panels. I then emptied the van and went shopping with it. I picked up lots more plywood, likely more than I’ll actually use, but it is better to have all I need on hand. Also, the ¼’ plywood will have a similar appearance since it’s coming from the same pallet. I also got some vinyl panels for the shower walls. I stopped for some fried rice and Peking Pork Chops from Wok On restaurant on the way home. Back home, I unloaded the plywood. I used one and cut the last ceiling panel. I then reloaded the van as well as put the materials I had previously left outside back into the van. We have heavy rain forecast for this weekend. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (09/17) Leftover peach blintzes for breakfast. I worked a little in the garden removing some corn stalks and trimming the tomato plant. I also gave myself a hair and beard trim. Fresh garden tomato soup with a ham sandwich for lunch. I worked on the new van. I cut the rear ceiling panel, and installed the last of its framing, a 2x2 with kerf cuts to allow it to bend to conform to the curved roof. I received the screws I need to attach the floor panels and added more screws to the floor. Then I made sure everything was stowed inside the van out of the coming rain. For dinner we had wieners with pickle salad and ramen noodles
I was awake at 0400 and at 0500 the rain started. I heard rustling by the new van’s awning. I thought it would withstand the wind. The legs evidently lifted in the breeze and moved away from the concrete blocks used as weights. I tied the posts to the block at the foot. I also found that some wood by my shed had blown down. This storm is mostly wind. I restacked the wood and looked for other things that might need attention. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (09/18) Granola for breakfast. At 0900 our San Jose tenant called and said her refrigerator was not working. A few days ago it was freezing her vegetables in the crisper. Now the fridge is at 70 degrees and the freezer at 30 degrees. I was there at about 1000 and tried adjusting the settings, then waiting and checking the temperature with my heat gun. It didn’t improve. I also vacuumed the coils and underneath the fridge but I don’t expect that to improve a sudden failure. I stopped for pizza for a late lunch at House Of Pizza. While I ate my lunch I considered the options for the refrigerator. I decided to replace it rather than repair it. This is based on our last experience trying the repair the last refrigerator which wasn’t fixed after three visits. The existing refrigerator is only 5.5 years old and it had a 5 year extended warranty. I think there must be some sort of timer in these things. I checked Costco, Lowe’s and Best Buy and decided on Lowe’s which had the best price. This refrigerator can only be replaced with a couple of units due to the cabinet clearances. Only Whirlpool and an LG model will fit. The new unit will be delivered in place Tuesday or Wednesday.
PA-SJ-PA to check fridge
SJ-Costco-Lowe’s-Best Buy- Lowe’s to locate and buy replacement </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday:</b> (09/19) Scrambled eggs with ham and toast for breakfast. Lou was off to an appointment. I checked out all the neighborhood construction projects. Wilton Court apartments is removing scaffolding and putting up the last of the tile siding. The sewer project is preparing for their final pull on Lambert Street. They also started the open trench digging on Matadero. I worked a little on the van. I screwed down the floor panels completing their attachment. I installed the heater pads on the two water tanks and the holding tank. I installed the nutserts for mounting the gray water tank. But, when I tried to mount the tank I found there is an unused bracket that is in the way on my van and not on the one the manufacturer of the tank used to build the tank. I’ll need to grind it off tomorrow. I had leftover pizza for lunch. For dinner Lou made roast chicken with cauliflower potatoes and cherry tomatoes from the garden. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(09/20) The usual ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I have a hike this morning and the new refrigerator is being delivered to San Jose today as well. Lou will meet them but my phone is the contact phone so Lou and I had to swap phones today. That made me print out my attendance list for the hike, old school. Normally I use Google sheets in offline mode. Nice hike with my 10 fellow SJMW Hikers. I stopped for lunch at Aqui’s restaurant in Saratoga. Dinner was pizza from A State Of Mind nearby. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday: </b>(09/21) Granola for breakfast. Busy inspection morning. They finished the tile siding of the building and removed the last of the scaffolding. Also busy landscaping. The sewer project was pulling in the last section on Lambert Street. Also putting in some pipe in the open trench section on Matadero. Salad for lunch. I tried to install the gray water tank. I had to cut off an unused bracket and an unused stud. But I could only install two of the three hangers. The front hanger doesn’t fit. I’ll have to modify or likely make a totally different hanger. Pickled veggies and wieners for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday: </b>(09/22) Granola for breakfast. I took a morning walk by all the construction activity first thing. Then I prepared the three hikes I’ll lead in Pinnacles next month and sent out an announcement to keep the date for those hikes. Salad for lunch. In the afternoon I modified the bracket that didn’t fit by twisting it and finished the installation of the gray tank. Lou and I went to ACE hardware to get a couple of plugs for the inlets to the tank. One is surplus for possible future use, the other won’t get plumbed for a while so I want to keep critters out. Corned beef hash for dinner </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday:</b> (09/23) We started with the Wilton Ct inspection. I prepared fried eggs and leftover corned beef hash for breakfast. Then the fun began. I did the RV tank duty emptying and filling as appropriate. I spent some time reading how to install the flooring. I determined I prefer to use standard metal edge screw down molding rather than the plastic glue down type. Seems like a better fit, more durable and easier installation. I was off to Lowe’s to get some. On the way, I picked up lunch at China Wok, some pork fried rice and peking pork chops. A hot afternoon so I relaxed the rest of the day. Ramen noodles and ham for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (09/24) Granola for breakfast. We had a 1000 appointment with the Wilton Ct apartments project manager to get a tour of the building inside. Nice. Lou and I took the four wheel bike to the Grocery Outlet for a few things. I did a little pruning of the lily of the nile plants and some tomatoes. Lunch as a salad. After a post lunch nap, I got to work in the van. I installed the first half of the flooring. Lou and Dawn made pizza for dinner. </div><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(09/25) Granola for breakfast. Lou and I took the four wheeled bike out for a spin. Still weren’t sure of the range. We rode about 8 moles going out to Gunn High School down to San Antonio Shopping Center then back up to University Ave before going home. Still some juice left. Should be good for nearby shopping runs. Ham and cheese sandwich with creamy potato soup for lunch. Later in the afternoon I worked a little on the van and installed most of the rest of the flooring. Still have the left side last run which includes almost every piece needing trimming. Roast chicken and French fries for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday: </b>(09/26) The usual breakfast egg, ham and cheese sandwich to start. I met my six fellow hikers at the Tarwater Trailhead for a hike to Jones Gulch. Nice weather and green forest. A 10.8 mile hike with a climb of 1808 feet. I stopped at Panda Express for lunch of fried rice and honey walnut shrimp, a favorite. I relaxed a while and ate lunch before a nice shower. Then I went to the bank. Lou made zucchini with sausage and onions for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(09/27) Pumpkin pudding for breakfast. I took Lou to a couple of appointments at Kaiser. While I waited to pick her up I shopped at the Grocery outlet and tinkered on the phone. No work done today. Lunch from the China Wok. leftover zucchini with sausage for dinner. <br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(09/28) Granola for breakfast. I did a little gardening in the morning. Lou and I checked on the Wilton Ct progress. I attended my usual Wednesday AlphaSoftware webinar. Lou, Dawn and I had lunch at Bajis Cafe. In the afternoon I finished installing the van flooring. Lou prepared steak for me and lamb chops for herself and Dawn all with mashed potatoes and avocado. <br /><br /><b>Thursday: </b>(09/29) After tea in the garden and a walk around the neighborhood projects, I prepared breakfast, ham, eggs and toast. I replaced the last piece of flooring that I installed yesterday. I considered replacing it due to it leaving more gap on the edge than it should have. When Lou checked it out and mentioned it, so, of course I had to replace it. Then, I installed some caulk tape and then some regular caulk, I’ll check tomorrow to see how each did, then do the rest. Sausage and chips for lunch. I worked in the garden in the afternoon and removed the bean plans from my garden. Not as easy a task as you might think. Lou made breakfast for dinner, steak and eggs with home fried potatoes including a pepper from my garden. <br /><br /><b>Friday: </b>(09/30) Granola for breakfast. I completed the first course of caulking the floor edge. After it settles it will need more in some places. I also reinstalled the ceiling insulation that had been removed to install the ceiling fans. I also added some reinforcement to the bed platform and cut the vent holes in the platform. I still need to paint the raw edges I created. Salad for lunch. A wet green burrito from Taqueria El Grullense for dinner. <br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf1zrvqHj5O5ssEh4MqMICEWh9zHmyP3iQ0lvBfYGXrvVRMxMKj-4Y5JuedytuU3KuNqaO8dXs80ptAS2Hw14c6mrXCQtiAr1QEsRpVGeJKNCDakz5t0vP2kv3F-UK9xwgP_qmNZmAY1URzYy7aQkgexlbMzhflJk6N8aeLmVZphBRD15nfReEZGpRA/s4624/20220901_083151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I inspected my neighborhood construction projects in the morning. They actually delivered the refrigerators and microwaves for the apartment building down the street. They are also finishing the landscaping. Salad for lunch. Ernie came and got me to fix his trailer door. The door is misaligned and has been for a while. Not the door won’t close at all. I checked things. I even got out my carpenters square. It seemed to me the door was more out of square than the trailer so I removed it. When I checked on the sawhorses, it was square. I adjusted one side of the frame, but that was all. So, I needed to adjust the frame. Seemed like that would be harder. I decided to try using the tongue jack but it wouldn’t work. I brought out my lithium battery jumper and used it to raise the jack. The tongue came up 1” and that fixed the frame alignment. The screen door was also too low so I raised it then reattached the door. Both doors needed to have new holes drilled for the screws when the doors were in the correct position. All better now. We had some rain in the morning but it was hotter in the afternoon and a little more rain fell. <div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(08/02) Started with morning tea in the back yard. I inspected the apartment building and the sewer line projects and got a call from the neighbor to look at her bike. After that I took a bike ride over to Stanford and had breakfast at Coupa Cafe. Nice ride, no rain occurred as it did as I was planning to take off yesterday. Back home I relaxed the rest of the day. I did get the last of the needed items to install the windows so no more excuses. Sandwiches for lunch and dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (08/03) Leftover tater tots with chili for breakfast. After some project inspection, I got busy with the van window installation. I prepared the template on the inside of the van then drilled to hole to allow placing the template on the outside in the proper location. I then marked the outline with a permanent marker and added some masking tape on the outside of the hole to prevent scratching. I tried using my electric metal shears but they didn’t work as well as just using the jigsaw. Only a tiny bit of grinding needed to better fit the window. Then after some filing to ease the edge, I painted the edge. With everything cleaned up and put away I was through for the day. I took a shower to get ride of any metal filings that jumped me and then relaxed the rest of the day. Dawn made cucumber tomato and cheese sandwiches for lunch. We had pizza from A State Of Mind Pizza across the street for dinner </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday:</b> (08/04) Granola for breakfast. After a check of the neighborhood projects, I got to work on the van. I installed the left window frame and then painted it in place. Of course, then I had to wait a while while it dried. I decided to paint the other frame to avoid the wait when I do the other window. They only needed to be painted on the ends that I replaced. When it was dry to the touch, I installed the window. It looks nice. Green salad for lunch. After lunch, I cut the opening for the right side window and painted the metal edge. Saturday, I’ll install the frame and window. I plan on a San Francisco walk-about tomorrow. Ham and cheese omelet for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday:</b> (08/05) No breakfast. I decided to get up earlier than usual and I installed the frame and window on the passenger side. It was looking a bit like it might rain. Since I was going to San Francisco for a walk-about, I didn’t want to leave it open. Fortunately, the installation was really fast and Lou dropped me off at the train station at 0830. I was in San Francisco about 0945. I didn’t do my planned hike because this train didn’t stop at either of the stations closer to where I had planned to start. It went downtown. I decided to walk through downtown and Chinatown following the route of the under construction new underground light rail line. I had decided I’d get a slice of pizza for breakfast on this route but Golden Boy Pizza in North Beach ws permanently closed. Too bad. I continued on to the Marina area and ended up getting breakfast/lunch about 1130 at Mel’s Cafe. Great patty melt sandwich. I continued on visiting the Palace Of Fine Arts lake and Presidio’s new park over the top of a tunnel for Highway 101. I continued to the Golden Gate Bridge then along the bluffs to Golden Gate Park. It was a bad choice going to the park because this weekend there are 200,000 extra visitors there for the Outside Lands concert. I made it to the N train line and returned to the Caltrain station to return home. I managed to do this 13.6 miles on this hike. It was a pretty good test of my range with my recent back pain issues. Back home, we had shrimp noodles in white sauce. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (08/06) Granola for breakfast. I installed the two van window blind and screen assemblies. The one on the sliding door is tight and touches the door rail when fully open. I can probably live with it. I put a piece of vinyl tape on the blind cover to prevent scratching it. I then studied How I should panel the wall and door now that the windows are installed. Lunch at MeiLi’s house. Nap time after lunch. About 1500 we went to Kohl’s department store. Lou and Dawn were there yesterday and Lou spotted a sale on mens shorts. I like shorts with stretch waists and short 6” inseam. Most inseams on shorts are 9-12 inches. Also I had an alarm from one of the sprinkler controller valves so I replaced five sets of batteries that were below 45%. The alarms are sent below for 25% but the others would have needed replacement in 2-3 weeks anyway. Dawn made vegetable soup for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday: </b>(08/07) Granola and a sausage or breakfast. I tinkered a bit in the garden and watched a couple of Youtube videos before heading off for a bike ride. I rode up to Redwood City, 10 miles North. I visited Kohl’s Department Store and picked up some more of my favorite shorts. They had a great sale on Croft and Barrel deck shorts. I also needed to pick up a permanent kit for Lou from a RiteAid drug store, our closest and they are one of the few places that carry Lou’s brand. It was located up the hill in Woodside. Shopping completed, I returned down to Redwood City and picked up a Veggie burrito from Tacos El Grullense then peddled home. Total about a 21 mile ride. Back home, I enjoyed half of my burrito for lunch. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday: </b>(08/08) Granola for breakfast. I worked on the van cutting wood framing pieces. There aren’t many pieces of the van’s steel framing that are straight and level. I got the framing pieces cut for the driver passenger side and the sliding door. Then I painted them. Just as I was finishing painting, Lou called and said she was hit in the Jeep by a FedEx truck in the Grocery Outlet parking lot. I drove over and took some photos. Lou took Dawn to the hospital to be checked. I picked up their frozen treasures from the markets and put them in our freezer. When Lou got home we cleaned out the Jeep of all the broken glass. Leftover Chinese from Meili’s luncheon, Lou made chili rellenos with peppers from her garden and corn from my garden. Leftover burrito and salad for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday:</b> (08/09) Scrambled eggs and pineapple sausage for breakfast. Lou dropped me off up Page Mill Road at Gate 2 for Foothills Nature Preserve. I hike downhill through the park into Arastradero Preserve and down into Stanford University. The gate is locked but open to hikers. I hike the Charlie Brown Fire Road, Toyon, Woodrat, Chamise, Panorama, and Coyote Trails. Then entered Arastradero preserve taking Arastradero Creek, Woodrat, Bowl Loop, and meadowlark Trails. I then exited the park and hiked down to Alpine Road into the University. When I stopped for lunch, I had hiked 10.25 miles. After lunch, I caught a Margarite Bus (Stanfords Transit) over to El Camino Real and then caught a VTA bus home. Lunch from Panda Express at Stanford University Student Center. At home I found the group including our neighbor Meili, Our friend Connie, with Lou and Dawn chatting under the arbor in the backyard. Later I installed some drip emitters in the front orchard for Lou’s squash plants. Leftover tofu over rice for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (08/10) Lou and Dawn were off early to appointments and to visit Dawn Hackman in San Jose. I picked up an Asada Ranchero breakfast from Tacos El Grullense down the street. Then I attended my Wednesday AlphaSoftware webinar. I also worked at filling boxes and other debris in the garbage. And that was it for the day. My nap consumed the rest of the afternoon. Leftover soup for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday: </b>(08/11) PBJ toast for breakfast. I installed the window wall framing and made a template for the door panel. The framing is just tacked in with VHB tape for now. I ordered some screws to more permanently install the framing. I’m trying to only use stainless steel screws. Grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches for lunch. The tomatoes came from Dawn’s garden and were sandwich sized. Pot roast beast for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(08/12) A ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. We went to A Good Morning restaurant for breakfast for lunch. I got some information from AlphaSoftware on how to fix my license errors. Now works properly. I finally got out about 1600 and tried to install some Plus nuts to hold the bed to the wall. I didn’t think the Rivnuts would provide enough connection. I ended up changing my mind. The Plus Nuts and hand installation tool failed to be able to install the plusnuts so I changed back to the rivnuts and got all installed easily. The rivnuts just expand into the hole while the Plus nuts provide wings and a broader back support. I’ll see if the rivnuts survive. Squash Alfredo with meatballs for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday: </b>(08/13) I made ham, eggs and hash browned potatoes for breakfast. Lou made a tiptoe, cucumber, onion, and bell peppers salad with corn on the cob and steamed green beans for lunch. All but the onion from our garden, even though we do have onions. Baked potato chili potatoes for dinner. I worked on the van a little today. I received the screws I needed to screw in the framing for the windows I installed previously. I also installed some farming for under the bed wall and prepared two bed frame joists but had to order the appropriate bolts to be able to install them. I also pulled in some wire for the rear fan. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (08/14) After a slow morning watching the Sunday morning shows on GTV, I finally got outside about 1100. I got the table saw out and cut the framing pieces for the rear of the van. Then I prime painted the pieces. Ready to install tomorrow. Leftover hash browned potatoes and granola for breakfast. Tomato salad and corn on the cob from our garden again today for lunch. Salmon and rice with green beans for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday: </b>(08/15) I put the boards I painted yesterday in the van and walked off to the trail station. I walked by the two construction projects Wilton Court apartments and the sewer line replacement. They were installing window brows at the apartments and pulling the last pipe on Fernando St. I was entering the train parking lot when my train was arriving so I missed it while looking at my projects. All for the best really because that train only went to Downtown 4th and King station and I wanted the 22nd Street Station which the train 25 minutes later stopped at. I wanted to get my breakfast at El Torta Gordo. I got a nice milanesa torta for my breakfast/lunch at 1100. I then caught the 48 bus out to Portola Road to where my trail crossed it on a previous hike. I had seen a building that looked like a Tower Records store and they closed up a few years ago. Turns out the building shows what it was but it is now a Mollie Stone's Market. I continued down Portola to West Portal and walked the village street there. Then I headed down and walked through Stern Grove and past Pine Lake. I continued down Sunset Blvd to Lake Merced and circumnavigated it in a dumbbell shaped route. I had hiked about 12 miles so i caught the 29 bus to Fisherman’s Wharf and then walked a few blocks to Columbus and Green Streets where I got my dose of Golden Boy Pizza. I thought it had closed but Google said it would be open and it was, nice dinner. Then I caught the 30 bus back to Caltrain and took the train home. Nice walk-about. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday:</b> (08/16) Granola for breakfast. Tomato from the garden with sausage for lunch. Chinese food from Lucky Chinese Bistro for dinner. It was a hot day. I did install the wood framing for the bed area. Only two errors. I had forgotten to paint four pieces and found them in the back yard after having installed other pieces where the belonged. Those other pieces belonged at the top and were installed at the bottom of the bed area. I had to remove them and now have extra holes in the metal. I determined what other pieces I need and intended to cut and paint everything but never got out after lunch. Did I mention hot. I did work on the motorhome door latch that has been jamming. I removed it and determined a better way to install it. I also ground about a ¼” off the latch bolt. That made it close properly. I also determined it was missing two screws so I went to the hardware store and got them. Now it seems to work better. On the way home I picked up dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (08/17) Awoke to some rain outside, barely wet the ground several times today. Granola for breakfast. The Wilton Court project down the street was busy all day grinding the alley and end of Wilton Avenue in preparation to repave and regrade the street. I had to watch them work most of the day. I did have my saw out all night so it got slightly wet before I dried it off and sawed some more framing pieces. Most of the framing that I’m installing requires a beveled edge of either 10, 15, or 20 degrees, depending on where it goes. Later in the afternoon, I prime painted all the pieces so they can dry all night. We had Lou’s homemade chili for dinner. Lou and Dawn were gone all day for an appointment and shopping. Meili joined them. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday:</b> (08/18) A busy day watching the crew pact the street and alley by Wilton Ct. It is really nearly completed now. I installed the framing pieces I painted yesterday. I also made a run in the van to get more plywood, enough to do the floor and ceiling. My, my, that stuff is expensive. I prepared ham , eggs and hash browned potatoes for breakfast. Salads for lunch. Chili beans and toast for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(08/19) I moved the plywood from inside the van to under a tarp behind the RV. I set up my sawhorses and laid a piece of plywood on top ready to start cutting. Of course, then I realized I needed a plywood blade for my circular saw and couldn’t find one. So, I headed off to Lowe’s to get one. I also wanted to get some nice straight dry 2x4 boards which I forgot on yesterday’s trip. Lowe’s only had trash 2x4, wet, rough and crooked. They did have a blade for $8 but I decided to break my rule about not chopping at Home Depot, and see how their 2x4 were. Same trash. I left without getting anything either place. I knew I had some nice dry straight 2x8x10’ in the attic in San Jose. Dried for over 30 years. They were intended to be used for making an attic workroom. That’s not going to happen now. I had already brought 4 home before and used most of them already. I stopped by Harbor freight and bought a couple of saw blades for $6 each and went to San Jose and brought home four more boards. At home, I used the plywood saw blade and cut some plywood to use for the van ceiling framing. They needed to be able to bend and follow the curve of the roof. I also ripped up two of the 2x8’s into 2x2’s to make the bed platform frame. I then had to put everything away to provide room to park the jeep securely in the driveway and get my saw out of the yard because the sprinklers run tonight. Lou and Dawn were off to San Mateo for the day. Leftover hash browned potatoes and a banana for breakfast. Fried rice and coconut shrimp from China Wok for lunch. Lou’s homemade from my homegrown carrot soup and Dawn’s fresh tortilla quesadillas for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (08/20) Leftover chili beans for breakfast. Leftover salad and a chili relleno for lunch. I picked up lunch from Tacos El Grullense relleno for me, tomatoes and plantains for Lou and Dawn. Dawn made fish hash for dinner. I started the day painting my van boards. Then I installed some drip emitters for Lou for some new plants in the front yard. Then a siesta during the heat of the day. I got back to work in the afternoon and assembled the van bed base and a few of the roof framing pieces. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday: </b>(08/21) Granola for breakfast. Chinese lunch from China Wok in Sunnyvale. Leftovers and soup from Meili for dinner. I made a run to Harbor Freight to get a new corded electric circular saw. I had tried to use my Ryobi saw then I had been using for a concrete saw before and it wouldn’t cut straight. I couldn't see a way to align the base to the blade so I did the easiest thing and replaced it. The new saw is great and even has a laser guide on it. I cut the base sheets for the bed. I also determined how to make the best use of the plywood sheets without having to buy three more sheets. Each board today used one third of the sheet but left nothing big enough to use for other needs. I decided to piece the lower panels together since they will be behind cabinets. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday:</b> (08/22) I cut out the remaining three plywood panels for above and below the bed. It involved fitting to weird corner radii, odd notches and the wheel wells. I sanded all the panels and the bed platform in preparation to prime paint tomorrow. Granola for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Hamburgers for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(08/23) I dropped Lou off at Kaiser for a procedure at 0730. On my return home I picked up some things at Walmart Neighborhood Market. I returned with Dawn at 0930 to pick up Lou. We all went to breakfast at the Country Inn near Westgate in San Jose. We then dropped Dawn off for an appointment. Lou and I went to look at vinyl at Joann’s Fabric Store. Not much to choose from. Back home it was napp time and I never recovered. I wanted to paint my panels but the gardener was to come and mow the lawn today. They didn’t arrive until 1600 for the lawn. We also had a delivery of the motor assembly for Dawn’s four wheeled bike. I had ramen noodles for lunch. For dinner, I used the air fryer function of the new van’s microwave to cook some tater tots and Lou found some ribs in the freezer to go with them. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (08/24) I did my usual bean picking to start the day. Then I prepared some supports for all the plywood panels I need to paint today. I then attended my Wednesday webinar. After the webinar I prime painted all the panels on both sides. After a sower, I relaxed for the rest of the day. Lou made corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. Dawn made quesadillas for lunch. Lou made biscuits and gravy for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday:</b> (08/25) Picking more beans to start the day. Breakfast at A Good Morning Cafe. We all drove down to San Jose to a fabric store and I bought some naugahyde fabric to cover the bed wall panels. On the way home we visited several thrift stores and Lowe’s to get some paint. Back home, we had a late lunch of ham and cheese sandwiches. I painted all the panels that needed a color coat. The color is Ultra White from Lowes, an exterior semi-gloss paint. It’s stocked on the shelf so quick to get. About 0200 we awoke to no power. The AC circuit breaker to the inverter had tripped nd the batteries had exhausted themselves providing power for who knows how long. The Battleborn batteries had protected themselves by disconnecting themselves when they got too low, about 9.5 volts. I couldn’t easily restore them so I just bypassed the inverter to restore the RV’s AC circuits and keep the fans going. At 0400 the batteries were still dead. For some reason, at 0600 they had restored themselves but at a little over 9.5 volts. The Victron monitor ws sounding its alarm though it was extremely faint. I got up and reconnected the inverter so it would charge the batteries. Not much sleep tonight. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(08/26) I wanted to sleep in but Lou mentioned there was some activity down the street at the Wilton Court project so we all went down to see what was happening. They were unloading all the paver bricks that they will lay on the second floor patio. I painted a color coat on the van panels and the bed frame. Then I headed off for my required weekly walk-about. I walked up to University avenue and picked up some breakfast at Whole Foods Market. Then i caught a SamTrans bus North., destination still undetermined. I got off at the Hillsdale Mall and walked through it to see what was there after Covid and after their remodeling. I continued North and Walked 25th Avenue Village. More continuing up to Safeway where i got some water. Then on to Hayward Ave where I walked into one of the nicest neighborhoods ever. Nice Spanish style home on larger lots, close to B Street restaurants and downtown San Mateo. I walked around downtown then back through more neighborhoods before returning on the bus. I arrived home just after 2000. I had to put away all the plywood panels because the lawn they were on will water tonight. Lou and Dawn had dinner at Panera breaks and picked up some soup for me. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (08/27) I spent the day assembling Dawn’s HitchHiker electric motor on her Surrey bike. It actually worked when I was finished. It will have to do as our Tesla. I also assembled the van bed panels to their frames. Peach blintzes for breakfast. Garden salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, and ham for lunch. Dinner from Harry’s Hofbrau. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday: </b>(08/28) The usual slow Sunday morning catching up on the usual CBS Mornings and Meet The Press as well as some of my Youtube subscriptions. We toured a house down the street that is totally uninhabitable and a knockdown on a 25% smaller lot than ours with an asking price of $2.6M and already 5 offers. Looks like the Zillow estimates, that have been dropping, are lower than actual. Eventually, I cut and installed some of the insulation needed for behind my bed panels. Leftover blintzes and ham for breakfast. Dawn made a squash and crab casserole for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday: </b>(08/29) I finished the insulation around the door slam vents in the back of the van. I did some research last night to see what I should do with those vents. The result was I simply cut round vent holes in my panels and ordered some vent covers for the holes. I also had to enlarge the wheel well cut out on the right side panel. Then I had to touch up the paint, again. I then shifted gears while the paint dried. I determined a route for the service entrance cable. I had to punch a hole within one of the van columns for the cable route and sawed a hole in the bumper for the connector. I had to go to the ACE Hardware store to get a cable bushing and a hole saw. The hole was larger than any of my existing hole saw blades. Leftover veggie lasagna and peas for breakfast. Broccoli salad for lunch. Onion soup with toast for dinner. The onions were from my garden. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday:</b> (08/30) The van’s battery was dead again this morning. I jumped it and ran the engine a while. It was cool enough then the fans weren’t needed. I worked on the van running wires much of the day. I received the screws I needed to attach the under bed wall panels. One seemed to not fit well even though it looked like it did yesterday. I may have to remove it and trim a little around the wheel well. I then cleaned out the van so it can be used for freight tomorrow. Dawn found a wall bed system for free in Aptos so we’ll be heading over early tomorrow. I made a run to Harbor Freight to get a few moving pads and collected the car quilts and some blankets from Ernie to use for padding. On the way home I picked up some coconut shrimp and rice from China Wok Restaurant in Sunnyvale. Not for immediate consumption but for later use. Must maximize gas use. Granola for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Pork roast and rice for dinner.
</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (08/31) We headed off to Aptos, Ca early to pickup a wall bed bedroom furniture system that Dawn found. Free is nice, timing was also good since the van was still empty inside. It was located upstairs so fortunately the owner helped bring everything down to the van and even to get it inside. On the ay home my tie down proved less than perfect so all the counter tops and large cabinet doors flopped back and forth on the curves on Highway 17. Fortunately probably not harmed because of the moving pads between all of them. I stopped as soon as I could and added some more rope. Lou and Dawn stopped by a storage place and rented some space. Back home it was lunch and nap time. Hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Leftover rice and shrimp with ramen for lunch. Pizza from A State Of Mind Pizza for dinner. <div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1u9wA1q2l3JtJaty3rJNpXHETjOOsuRRmWEKtyHi4WdyXBjs-t7LVc9l2Ax2LhMDhih6aeVH94OT20iNUm7pa8HAuJxsWat6qvZTpADyhBSu4r0eN0yI2KOxiUqqjXYO7B_gp3aA7SWpnNHSPVDMGDErXPhUzapmq3B2MpXtLdGo7moSop8Tg6Kle6g/s4624/20220801_091719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I attended my usual AlphaAnywhere Webinar in the morning. After the webinar, I tried to use the app and found it had a license problem. I got the license number fixed but am still having problems with the installation. I’ll have to try more tomorrow. After a salad for lunch, I did the tank duty in the RV. I also did some pruning of the wisteria in our arbor. It seems like I killed it with the last pruning or it has died of old age. Sausage with waffle fries and leftover soup for dinner. <div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday: </b>(07/14) Lou and Dawn were off to an appointment and some thrifting. My back is much better but still not back to normal. I did a little gardening by installing some tomato supports in my Lou’s and My gardens. I also pruned the second artichoke plant down to the ground. Its flowers were not developing as fast as I’d liked. While pruning it down, I found two artichoke flowers on the inside that I’d not seen previously. They went in a vase. I picked up lunch at panda Express on my way to get mulch at the City’s Eleanor Pardee Community Garden. They had a good batch so I made three trips getting 14 buckets each trip. I added mulch to my garden and more for the artichokes. It’s nice and thick now. Salad and some leftover pork and beans for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><b>Friday:</b> (07/15) Leftover Denver omelet for breakfast. Tea in the rear yard and then some more pruning of the wisteria. I’m pruning it to the ground because most of it is dead or dying. Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Dawn called and said they found a lot of plywood panels and lumber at a free garage estate sale. I went over and picked it all up. Squash soup for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (07/16) Scrambled eggs with chili for breakfast. We had lunch from Harry’s Haufbrau as Ernie’s birthday meal. The usual prime rib for Lou and Dawn and lasagna for me. Leftover lasagna for my dinner. I worked in the backyard moving some planters and disposing of some extra plants. In the afternoon, I installed the first solar panel on the van roof rack. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (07/17) I over did myself installing the solar panel yesterday and strained my back acting like a fool lifting the panel up by myself. Old age, by itself, doesn't make me smarter. Granola for breakfast. I made a run over to the Grocery Outlet Market for a few things like milk and eggs. Otherwise it was a typical Sunday morning. Lou enjoyed the usual CBS Sunday Morning show and Face The Nation shows. Later I watched some of my Youtube subscription videos. Scrambled eggs with chili for brunch. In the afternoon I mounted the other two solar panels. Chinese food from the Lucky Bistro for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday: </b>(07/18) Early rise today at 0430. Lou had to be at Kaiser at 0615 for an appointment. I dropped her off then went shopping at Walmart Neighborhood Market and Sprout’s for a few things and to kill time. Lou was out just before 10am. We headed home. I put the groceries away then prepare a Denver omelet for brunch. After brunch, I tinkered with a few things before deciding a nap was needed. About 1545 we all headed back to Kaiser for another appointment for Lou. Back home, Dawn prepared baked squash sprinkled with parmesan cheese, fried bologna and some green beans from the garden for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/19) Leftover Denver omelet with chili for breakfast. I spent much of the morning weeding Lou’s garden and trimming back the olallieberry vines. Hamburgers for lunch. Later, Lou and I went to Safeway for a few things. Tuscan sausage soup for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (07/20) No breakfast. I caught the 0727 Caltrain to San Francisco’s Bayside Station. From there I hiked West on the Cross Town Trail, or, at least generally along it. I paralleled the train at times when I got off trail. After about 5.5 miles I stopped for breakfast in the Glen park area at 1115. My back was just beginning to be noticeable. I continued on after breakfast. My back told me I needed to head home at about 8.5 miles at Clarendon. I caught the 44 bus and the N LRT line back to Caltrain’s downtown station. I caught the 311 train home. It was an express train so it only stopped at Palo Alto station, not my closer California Ave Station. I then caught the #22 bus home. Back home, after a shower, I relaxed the rest of the day. Chili beans and tater tots for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday:</b> (07/21) Not much done today except relax the back. Granola and banana for breakfast. Scrambled eggs with chili and green onions and peppers from the garden for lunch. Beef over baked potato with some beans and corn from the garden. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday: </b>(07/22) Granola and banana for breakfast. Popcorn for brunch. We all went shopping in the morning. Lou and I went to Walmart neighborhood market, Dawn to Barnes Nobles Books. Chinese rice with coconut shrimp for lunch. On the way home we stopped at two Smart And Final Markets and got some cheap meat. After a nap, I got to work. I removed the glue from the slider door and sawed and revved the center brace from the door. I had to make a run to ACE for another can of GoofOff to remove the adhesive. I also bought a plant to fill a vacant planter. It’s a sunny spot so maybe this succulent will survive. We had beef noodles for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (07/23) Lou made latkes with ham for breakfast. I shortened a couple of walking sticks for Dawn. I set up my table saw and ripped some wood to frame the windows that I need to install. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Later, I rode my bike over to the ACE hardware store to get a grommet for the solar cable entrance. Dawn made sauerbraten over baked potatoes for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (07/24) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. Pork salad bowls for lunch. Roasted veggies from the garden with tater tots and wieners for dinner. I punched the hole in the van roof and installed the home run cable for the solar panels. After the caulk is dry tomorrow, I’ll hookup the connectors and reinstall the panels. That should be the last time I need to work up on the roof for a while. Then to the inside windows and wiring. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday:</b> (07/25) First day of Jury Oncall Duty. Actually, not needed but I need to call again at 1100. I made scrambled eggs with chili for breakfast. Lou and Dawn were off to an appointment. I finished hooking up the solar panels to the entrance cable and remounted the panels to the roof bars. Otherwise, I checked the construction projects and relaxed. When I checked my jury status at 1700, I’m not needed so I now don’t need to check until 1100 tomorrow. We all went to IKEA for lunch and a look around. They have a mattress I may get for the van. Leftovers for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday:</b> (07/26) I made corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. More jury duty standby time. I cleaned up inside the RV a little. When I checked on my status at 1100, I was requested to report to the court. After a shower and a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, I headed off. I was way early so I dropped off a letter at the San Jose tenants then visited Target, then waited. I Arrived at the Jury commissioner's office about 1345 for my 1400 call. After about an hour wait we went to the court and got orientation on jury duty, introductions to the lawyers and the defendant and were sworn in, but then told to report back tomorrow at 0900 for jury selection. A lot of hurry up and wait this week, I fear. I was back home about 1600. I had stopped for a snack at the Dim Sum King on the way home. I installed the license plates on the van. Not easy getting the rear plates installed but I persevered in the end. Leftover beef noodles for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday:</b> (07/27) Leftover corned beef hash with eggs for breakfast. I headed off early to get to the courthouse for more jury selection. I did become one of the jurors for the trial. 12 jurors elected for the trial from 80 people summoned. Those not selected were free for another year. I got a bowl of broccoli cheese soup from Panera Bread for lunch. Tuna salad stuffed tomato from our garden for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday: </b>(07/28) Leftover corned beef hash with eggs for breakfast. I headed off early to get to the courthouse for more jury duty. Again, we didn’t start on time and were released for the day as soon as we got inside the courtroom about 25 minutes late. Nice to have most of the day free. Busy day down the street at the Wilton Court project. Scaffolding is going back up now that they finished the sidewalks and brick paving. They also are receiving the window brows that need to be installed on the front facing walls. Then they will be hanging the tiles on those walls.
I checked the needed thickness for my van window installation and recut the framing boards. I then painted them with primer. Chicken with rice and cucumber radish salad for dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday:</b> (07/29) Granola and diced apple for breakfast. I headed off early to get to the courthouse for more jury duty. Fortunately, we did start on time today. Even better, the case was settled and we were dismissed. I stopped at Smart And Final for a few things on the way home. Salad for lunch. I assembled the window frames for the van. Lou slow cooked the London broil roast I bought this morning at Smart And Final and we had some of it with baked potatoes and sliced tomatoes freshly picked from the garden. Strawberry shortcake for dessert. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (07/30) Granola for breakfast. Peach blintzes for brunch. I picked some corn and beans for later. I had intended to possibly install one of the van windows today but, after watching the installation videos and reading the directions, I found my window frame was constructed wrong. The joint is right where the screws to attach the blinds would be going. So, I ripped some more boards and disassembled my frames and constructed them correctly. Since there is now more raw wood I decided I’ll leave it raw and paint it in place after installation. I also needed to order a coup;e of items mentioned in the videos to use for the installation. They won’t be here until Monday. We may have rain later today or tomorrow so all is well and there is no hole in the van. Corn on the cob and green beans from the garden with sausage for early dinner. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday:</b> (07/31) Leftover blintzes for breakfast. I cleaned out the water fountain that Lou had polluted with soap and bleach. Poor birds and squirrels. A while later, I got a couple of drops of rain on my nose so I went inside where I spent the rest of the day. It never rained, just threatening clouds. Tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch. Beef noodles for dinner.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHpZFpEvjHlcEj1a0Cp65Z3iUg0AcDJIMatb7_mZAfDjCtP-pyEKdjc7pzcrfz1yZnpnhJWMFG6QQ8ZchcSX1x99jreI4jOBArRy_4iArJYWq0qszjf0CvrD_n1WXEv9Zl8elTFqJYWcJu2-G4C-72_QgXnCzJyL1Ctd-sZIoncpQZsQMpi2o0E0Gkg/s4624/20220713_094608.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The outside broke and no longer connected to actuate the lock. The lock has been too difficult for Lou to use for a while. I had tried to replace the lock a few months ago but couldn’t get it working with the correct key nor easily. After a dozen tries this morning, having to build a Frankenstein lock and grind down the striker, I got a combination that finally worked. After that, I visited ACE and Lowe’s to get a cable lock for Dawn and some floor protection sheeting for the van project. I think the heavy cardboard like floor paper will make good template material. Leftover Denver omelet for breakfast. Lunch from Super Taqueria. Lou made zucchini with sausage for dinner.<div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Saturday:</b> (07/02) I worked on the computer in the morning. I removed the sound mats from the wall behind the driver where the new window will go. I then cleaned off the adhesive from the wall. And, finally, I removed the brace that would be in the way. I still have to do the same to the sliding door. Leftover Denver omelet for breakfast. Salad for lunch. BBQ ribs with baked beans for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(07/03) I tinkered in the yard putting some things away. I also trimmed a shop door that was too tight. And I de-cobwebbed the house, sheds and yard furniture. Granola for breakfast. We had hotdogs roasted over a campfire with all the fixings like chili, grilled onions, sauerkraut with potato salad and corn on the cob. The weather was a bit windy and cool. I relaxed in the afternoon. Leftovers for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (07/04) My back bothered me all night and I didn't sleep well. Lou, Dawn and I took a ride out to Bol Park to see the donkeys then continued on the bike path through Los Altos and to Mountain View and returned. I’m surprised the ride didn’t seem to bother my back. I drilled one of the solar panels and attached the ell brackets that will attach it to the roof rails. Working on that aggravated my back. My back was very bad in the afternoon and evening. Granola for breakfast. Salad and baked beans with a BBQ wiener for lunch. BBQ ribs with potato salad and carrot raisin salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(07/05) My back was better today but not good yet. I relaxed all day. I did take a couple of walks to look at the construction projects. Granola for breakfast. Plum cobbler for lunch. Cottage cheese with baked beans and a sausage for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday:</b> (07/06) I woke up in the middle of the night and my back ache was getting worse until I couldn’t get up at 0630. I had to enlist Lou’s help to get up and get dressed. For some reason, she thought that indicated I should go to the emergency room to be seen, which I did. Lou dropped me off at Kaiser in Santa Clara and then took Dawn to an appointment. I was in the emergency room from 0800 until after 1300. After some lab work and a cat scan I was released again with nothing recommended but rest and exercise as was recommended a couple of weeks ago. That is usually what helps, but usually a little faster. We picked up lunch on the way home. Granola for breakfast. Coconut shrimp and fried rice from China Wok for lunch. Salad for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (07/06) My back was much better with medication and heat. I relaxed all day with a couple of short walks around the construction projects. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Leftover Chinese food for lunch. Dawn made a beef stew for dinner. It is hard to not do anything.<br /><div><br /></div><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-7b24cb54-7fff-f7a9-5b60-0ca5e04498a2"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Friday:</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (07/07) I switched to taking my Ibuprofen only every 6 hours instead of every 4 hours like yesterday. Yesterday I was feeling pretty good all day so I reduced it. I felt more back pain this morning but all seems manageable. I hope that some more relaxation will mend this problem soon. About 1730 I rode the bike over to the market for a couple of things. I prepared some home fried potatoes with ham and eggs for breakfast. Salad and leftovers for lunch. Roast pork sandwich for dinner.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Saturday: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(07/08) A little tinkering in the yard. We also toured an open house nearby. I found my van chest freezer power cord had come loose. It had some sausages inside but fortunately it was found in time. Granola and a banana for breakfast.

Sausages with chili beans for dinner.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sunday: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(07/09) I prepared a Denver like omelet with sausage, eggs, onion, a pepper from the garden for brunch. I picked three cobs of corn for dinner from my garden. Dinner was the corn, a tomato from the garden and a salad.

Granola for breakfast. I cleaned out all the materials from the van in preparation to be weighed. Then I started removing the residue from the insulation on the sliding door in preparation to install the window. Fedex delivered the paperwork I needed to prepare for the van registration. Basically getting the vehicle weighed and certifying the weight. I went to Metropolitan Van And Storage in Mountain View to get the van weighed. It weighs 4960 lbs empty with ⅓ tank of gas. So, as of now adding all the heavier items that will be installed and with full fresh water tanks and three passengers, I still have nearly a ton more carrying capacity. I stopped at Safeway on the way home to buy some ciabatta buns for me and soup for lunch. Loaded Baked potato soup from Safeway for lunch. Pork and beans with a sausage for dinner. </span></p><br /><br /></span></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGE0tWU_pa_R8WJOyEEQVZglBtoP2-QoH0iKHRHK8s-fs-BJWSn5GyMjqkLHNA_Iy3xKsTBw743XhY1vg8UgL4f5VLnnan0sK85ajyZA1B1tSklDI0JSKX34B5_D86545fa_MfegfSezckjK5M6TwaJMV4YWQknH_P1RXIm_q9UGAUihV0Xif1tS_xbA/s4624/20220702_094247.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I did a little work in the van before my back and the weather called an end to it. I removed the tie down anchor loops from the floor. I also removed the glued on insulation over the locations where the ceiling fans and windows are to be installed. I worked at the computer later when my back started to bother me. I managed to get a complex formula in the van build spreadsheet to work. It only too a different way of looking at the problem. Salad and some salami and cheese for lunch. Lou and I went to the Grocery Outlet in the afternoon. Lou’s Shepherd’s pie for dinner. First thing this morning I signed up for an interesting hike in Santa Cruz tomorrow. Unfortunately, while trying to make my monthly payments I discovered a problem at my credit union. They upgraded their systems and evidently introduced several problems. I tried to call the bank but their phone answered with a touch tone option menu but it would respond to any input. So I tried their chat but that person was not an employee of the bank but of one of their services and couldn’t help. So, tomorrow, I’ll have to visit the bank in person to talk to another person. All this because their system people evidently don’t check things.</p><b>Friday:</b> (06/24) Granola for breakfast. I headed over to the bank to try to get several problem fixed. After an hour of discussion and their insisting I had made some changes myself, enough now appears to be corrected. I’ll see how some test payments work. Salad for lunch. I took a few walks around the neighborhood looking at the construction projects. About 1700, when it got cooler, I did a little work outside. I made a wooden platform to place on the vans roof rails for me to work on the fan installation. I’m heavy and the roof is weak. Leftover Shepherd’s pie with green beans from the garden for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>(06/25) I removed all but one of the artichoke plants in the front yard. They have run their course so I cut them off at the ground level and added some mulch over them. I didn’t have room for the big productive one so it still stands until next week's compost bins. They are supposed to regrow and produce again late this fall or spring. I prepared a scrambled egg with salami and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Then, I placed the wooden platform on the van roof rack bars and also washed the roof so It will be clean and ready to install the fans on. We had leftover pork roast and chili rellenos with artichokes and green beans from the garden. After dinner, I got the table saw out and cut some boards to make frames for the roof fan installation.<br /><br /><b>Sunday:</b> (06/26) Granola for breakfast. I cut the hole in the roof of the van for the front fan. Painted the cut edge of the sheet metal and painted the wood framing. Salad for lunch. Biscuits and gravy for dinner. In the evening we went to pick up an inverter that Dawn found on Freecycle.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (06/27) I finished the installation of the front roof fan in the van, all but the caulking. I started to prepare to install the rear fan but decided it was too hot to continue. I relaxed the rest of the day. Granola for breakfast. Some of Meili’s miso soup for brunch. Salad for lunch. Chili baked potatoes for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday:</b> (06/28) Granola for breakfast. I cut the hole in the van roof for the rear fan. I had to make a trip to, my most hated business, Home Depot to get a Ryobi cordless variable speed jigsaw. My electric metal shears couldn’t do the corrugated roof that the rear fan location is at. The jigsaw made quick work of the hole. I painted the bare metal and prepared and painted spacers for the fan insulation. I had to call it quits after I had everything painted mostly because my back told me to. I had a salami cheese and hummus sandwich for lunch. I relaxed the rest of the day. Tuna salad and cheese sandwich for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Wednesday: </b>(06/29) I installed the rear fan in the van. I needed longer screws so I went out shopping. I Visited the Credit Union and Lowe’s, then shopped at Walmart Neighborhood Market in Santa Clara, Smart and Final and Nob Hill on the way home. Back home I installed the longer screws and caulked both fans. I also test that both fans work. Granola for breakfast. Lunch from Lucky Chinese Bistro. BBQ ribs with tater tots and green beans for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Thursday:</b> (06/30) I prepared a Denver omelet for breakfast. I plucked four small bell peppers from the garden for the omelet. My back was a bother all day so I relaxed most of the day. I did take a couple of walks around the neighborhood to check on the construction projects. Leftover Chinese food for lunch.

I thought, how unusual. Moments Later it’s backup alarm was sounding. I got up and watched it back down our street. It had lights on on all sides. I thought it was a fire truck but hadn’t heard any sirens. A while later I was again awakened by the sound of a jackhammer. So, I had to get up to see what was going on. I found a city crew backhoe, dump truck and pipeline truck and a vacuum truck busy digging a hole. The water main had burst and the gutter was full with a four foot wide flow. Over time, they exposed the crack in the pipe, found the proper part from their shop. I left them to their work about 0430 after they had plugged the leak and were reconnecting a lateral line that was right next to the break. Needless to say, I was done in for the rest of the day. I did pick most of the plums from our tree. Lou and Dawn were off to Filoli Historic House and Gardens to attend the Antiques Roadshow event for PBS. I napped and watched the second City crew refill the hole from last night and clean up the mud all around in the gutter. I also watched the City sewer contractor permanently paving some of the holes they had made replacing our sewer line. Leftover salmon rice for breakfast. Leftover broccoli salad with a salami and cheese sandwich for lunch. Roast chicken, artichokes from our plants and leftover chili for dinner.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKtSDjS0zpxfj_2ui9umaw1PXx9vVwlbnqC3q8iO2_1BkCFzCfs-sKV_hr0WIPhB596m_d74AGqUCeNxeALGNHlqDJmGCCxJazCIXiex9xyBkZnmcL1pahzLGBBX0R2TvQLS5wb287iA8kqvUcTwLZmKUhElTeVutpNZ37YHGF95bSFQVuJn3I67jVw/s4624/20220622_014317.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="4624" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKtSDjS0zpxfj_2ui9umaw1PXx9vVwlbnqC3q8iO2_1BkCFzCfs-sKV_hr0WIPhB596m_d74AGqUCeNxeALGNHlqDJmGCCxJazCIXiex9xyBkZnmcL1pahzLGBBX0R2TvQLS5wb287iA8kqvUcTwLZmKUhElTeVutpNZ37YHGF95bSFQVuJn3I67jVw/w204-h153/20220622_014317.jpg" width="204" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaxhGdxQndxfDaY_OFi43_923SZ7J1JKBm4kCEo8Enfoz7wVE1dN4JITc1zOLHG6EjPHAMO18foX0XdwcGhzih4JHBEEI1TprLeu2JHy5dIeFzVm62_E5tEUFrvlFhIJK7WI5ls7IanH-diicnE-P6kPpZrs509MII5KeGrbcGASyPYXCHuZnOWqBqw/s4624/20220622_020335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="4624" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaxhGdxQndxfDaY_OFi43_923SZ7J1JKBm4kCEo8Enfoz7wVE1dN4JITc1zOLHG6EjPHAMO18foX0XdwcGhzih4JHBEEI1TprLeu2JHy5dIeFzVm62_E5tEUFrvlFhIJK7WI5ls7IanH-diicnE-P6kPpZrs509MII5KeGrbcGASyPYXCHuZnOWqBqw/w175-h131/20220622_020335.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Ej3tCoZ_nu_ppZWQ20ejXsxPhtvjZ7_yxOq26vp6Q1jZvFLKbLFFoT9DyWmPtMotPPg4kWZ0RPqKEjmMEgxVfg0bWO9Y8MA9gcoCDkOEk4t-tsNr9DtaRNcRe_jDmr1F7x5N1rrSf6X70yA1N-HwBMkhWlnMTGYHYGKNUI_clOFi9MSNcRGrKKiJAw/s4624/20220622_025550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="4624" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Ej3tCoZ_nu_ppZWQ20ejXsxPhtvjZ7_yxOq26vp6Q1jZvFLKbLFFoT9DyWmPtMotPPg4kWZ0RPqKEjmMEgxVfg0bWO9Y8MA9gcoCDkOEk4t-tsNr9DtaRNcRe_jDmr1F7x5N1rrSf6X70yA1N-HwBMkhWlnMTGYHYGKNUI_clOFi9MSNcRGrKKiJAw/w192-h144/20220622_025550.jpg" width="192" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__1ONcKPOJEkvdPzYEULKCRTM6ZEbKw9tLVonqREw4M6pdx2RqbvBV78O43hxdJ8kev_GJ0OasOTU_J6Hsavl_vGc4CW0rA39QwXsnuOuER490M0p-gWWMgVA6Jor--wkqQYfOw2d6F7Qn50DuCMAbIGSMOTz0WgFTZXY3kK9Ivf1mGv8Rsl8X00MSg/s4624/20220622_035200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="4624" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__1ONcKPOJEkvdPzYEULKCRTM6ZEbKw9tLVonqREw4M6pdx2RqbvBV78O43hxdJ8kev_GJ0OasOTU_J6Hsavl_vGc4CW0rA39QwXsnuOuER490M0p-gWWMgVA6Jor--wkqQYfOw2d6F7Qn50DuCMAbIGSMOTz0WgFTZXY3kK9Ivf1mGv8Rsl8X00MSg/w179-h135/20220622_035200.jpg" width="179" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55J4cUpdXe8LEovvFTN5Rsf128QB_XZQAx5xle8yqIEO43F92hOrMKZpCVGVUOeeKvmQfNNJVTqFDQ651xWBKK9E2y-_t4hxnhFN0CIri270NI8u1Id4qtN0Z2tjRJq6-gDXX7n9UkTYa2zy2aVdXi6gaxIQzJFDxicgvJrTMlSpwh0WFs09v2fsVjw/s4624/20220622_085930.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4624" data-original-width="3468" height="139" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55J4cUpdXe8LEovvFTN5Rsf128QB_XZQAx5xle8yqIEO43F92hOrMKZpCVGVUOeeKvmQfNNJVTqFDQ651xWBKK9E2y-_t4hxnhFN0CIri270NI8u1Id4qtN0Z2tjRJq6-gDXX7n9UkTYa2zy2aVdXi6gaxIQzJFDxicgvJrTMlSpwh0WFs09v2fsVjw/w105-h139/20220622_085930.jpg" width="105" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931207851268243884.post-9628673028455914332022-06-17T14:59:00.026-07:002022-07-08T15:47:10.223-07:00June Two<p> <b>Friday: </b>(06/17) I slept in. No breakfast. Salad with some bologna and cheese for lunch. More relaxing today. Tuna rice with green beans from our garden for dinner. I received a bunch of electrical items for the van today.</p><div><b>Saturday:</b> (06/18) I started with a run to the hazardous waste event at the dump. I had two buckets of batteries and ink cartridges. On the way home, I made a run to Lowe’s in Sunnyvale to get a couple of circuit breakers I had ordered. I also picked up some more begonias. Back home, I planted the begonia in my succulent garden. I added a stake to hold up some new sunflower plants. I also removed the old ladder in Dawn's garden and installed a couple of my garden screens for Dawn's beans and peas like I installed in my garden for the scarlet runner beans. We all went to look at an open house down the street. I helped our neighbor install a front basket on her bike that needed longer support arms. I just used some hose clamps to tie the arms to the forks rather than the axle. Ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Lunch from Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. I got my usual veggie lasagna and Lou and Dawn their prime rib dinner. I had a pork sloppy joe sandwich with some salad for dinner. I received some bolts and a DC circuit breaker.<br /><br /><b>Sunday: </b>(06/19) I rode the bike over to Grocery Outlet for some milk and eggs and the usual too much other stuff. I can’t be trusted there. I received some bolts and T-nuts today. Leftover lasagna for breakfast. Salads for lunch. Smoked sausage and veggies with corn on the cob for dinner.<br /><br /><b>Monday:</b> (06/20) We were off early to the San Jose house to look in the attic for things. Lou and Dawn will be attending the Antiques Roadshow tomorrow at Filoli Historic House & Garden in Woodside and were looking for something to take to the show for appraisal. No luck finding what Lou was looking for. We stopped at La Victoria for breakfast. Next, I stopped at Harbor Freight for a knockout punch set and a Torx driver set. Lou and Dawn examined the Marshall’s across the street. Next stop was Lowe’s. Lou and Dawn got some planter mix and some clay pots. Unfortunately, my order that is due 6/21 didn’t magically come in early. Back home, it was nap time and time to check on the sewer construction project. They were doing some repaving on pour street and pulled in a section of pipe a couple of streets over. We headed off at 1500 for Lou’s dental appointment. Dawn and I did some shopping for a couple of hours while Lou was worked on. When Lou was through, we headed off to visit a couple of thrift stores in Sunnyvale and Mountain View. After the second visit, we visited Nob Hill Market for a couple of things. We then headed back to Lowe’s. I had received notification that my order for the two sub panels for the van were in. Not good timing but halfway good timing since we were only halfway home. I had a salami and cheese burrito for my dinner. I received more puck lights, dimmers and the 30 amp service inlet connecter and a short adapter for it to connect to a 20 amp outlet.<br /><br /><b>Tuesday: </b>(06/21) The city’s sewer replacement crew was busy working on repaving our street. I picked most of the apricots from our tree this morning. I received the third solar panel but boy did it go through the mill getting here. Footprints all over on both sides of the box. Rips and punctures of the box all over. And most worrisome, a screw fully penetrated the box on the active side of the panel. It was a ½” sheet metal screw. Fortunately, the panel, somehow, doesn't seem to have any damage. I need to test them soon. I also received the wye adapters and home run cable for the solar panels as well. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Pork roast and cheese burrito for lunch. More roast pork and some salad for dinner.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5dnJ0NUntMZuK4Ikhasz-feRXu9h1pvqsHh5Ck_ffhy0Csuu2faOCNcx7PlALIBujGOU2Ce5H_CLvDl-u7_FeHUTXErNbNnu2NpeURNL7HHUcXznVPRz7Ryn7xz41SlnjCaOIgN81fnZ3NGJiQhK-24FgZainly5-UjU5tUmCj5MHq5HUsxUdv6gYQ/s4624/20220621_162922.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Otherwise I studied some of the equipment manuals in preparation for installations. About 1400 I showered and at 1500 drive up to San Bruno and caught the BART train to San Francisco. BART doesn’t come to our area and it is most convenient for my late return tonight. I got off at the 24th street station and walk over to La Torta Gorda for my dinner. I had a poblano, onion, avocado and cheese torta. They make the absolute best tortas. I then wasted some time walking around the area. I was there to attend an 8pm concert at The Chapel by Jenny and The Mexicats. The doors were supposed to open at 7pm and I arrived some time after that and waited. The doors finally opened at 8:10pm. The concert didn’t start until 9pm. The warmup band was Suenatron, OK. Very energetic but a muddy sound. Fortunately Jenny and her Mexicats were just as expected from their Youtube videos. They did all their favorites and provided an excellent show. The Chapel provides an intimate venue. Their show ended at 1130 and I had to dash off to catch my train. I got home very late at 2am. Scrambled eggs, ham and cheese sandwich for brunch. Dinner at La Torta Gorda on 24th Street in San Francisco. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/d2kpJQcqRoTrFRkCA">Here is a sample</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir0j1_PuRaSSXicqxCZF53h9Ck8R6HNujYZSSRQNVs7R1uwnNv-QS-G_6gEhCPYkGfyjBuBEnPxuTgduELO9kdT9RmZXmNPcRmXV4df1qqkyKUCW28pcYIXKzySijpoIz-w-K-DkKedM96R6hCBbZUFZNJ1_7CTnexSrly1i1eJqyqNdpx5ZG2dZ_7dw/s4624/20220616_180738.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Early in the morning, I got my chainsaw out and removed the two tree shafts that remain after having removed all the dead limbs of two of the trees over the shop. I relaxed inside and planned the van’s electrical system most of the day. I received my shower pan about 2045. Chicken and rice stew for breakfast. Salad with some bologna and cheese for lunch. Mushroom rice soup with egg for dinner. At 2045, my shower pan arrived.</p><p><b>Sunday:</b> (06/12) I brought the table saw out of the shop and ripped some pieces of hardboard to use as templates for the van floor installation. Then I got distracted and worked on the two electric saws that needed repair. My 48 year old saw was rather noisy when you stopped it. It sounded like it would fall apart but worked well otherwise. I cleaned it up and also removed and replaced the grease in the gearbox. Works well now. The other saw was an expensive Milwaukee saw that I’ve used for years as my concrete cutting saw. It lost power and also the blade safety protection was frozen. I cleaned it up and changed its grease as well. I also tightened up the depth mechanism. It worked well in all ways after my repairs, except it still had no power. Must be a bad motor winding so I tossed it. In the afternoon I received my two Arctic Tern windows for the van. Now I really need to get to work. Only the compost toilet hasn’t arrived yet. Leftover rice mushroom soup for breakfast. Nachos for lunch from Tacos El Grullense down the street. Artichokes with waffle potatoes and baked fish for dinner.</p><p><b>Monday:</b> (06/13) Leftover sauerkrauted hash browns with ham and eggs for breakfast. I installed the roof rails on the van. I needed to get some M6 hex bolts to install the rail couplers so I rode the bike over to ACE hardware then stopped at the Grocery Outlet for eggs and milk. Of course I left with a lot more and had lots of fun securing the load on the bike. Back home, I had some of Dawn’s congee for lunch. Evidently, what I’ve been calling rice soup is congee. A relaxing afternoon. I received the spacers for the rear roof fan so I’ll be installing the fans soon. Lou made ribs with green beans and tater tots for dinner.</p><p><b>Tuesday: </b>(06/14) I had a PT appointment at Kaiser to learn how to reduce my back pain. There is always hope. Lou had a dental appointment. We did some grocery shopping at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on the way home. Back home, I relaxed the rest of the day. Granola with banana for breakfast. Chili over leftover breakfast hash browns for lunch. Sauerbraten over baked potato for dinner.</p><p><b>Wednesday:</b> (06/15) I received two of my three solar panels today. I also pruned the maple tree by the driveway to clear my new van. I installed a couple of bricks to let Lou slip by the front porch in her wheelchair. And I worked on my van construction spreadsheet. Granola and banana for breakfast. Leftover chili and rice for lunch. Leftover sauerbraten over baked potato for dinner. I ordered more materials for the van.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXA0WWh6F3xVEY-eWAu5ViHQt2FPGe7JegORhU98C9mWJ5furj5Gn9dLN5B_o_auRFms2LfsBoMI-ckotQ2l629RGECqCGDjoeEaxUNmEA-e3tHO3xCELRacmVUMyaR7Oh22lu8z8GVyWb866u9s0-ZQ2mukFjLsnn5idhm_YJTI2xX6FKZS1TBsTow/s4624/20220610_191517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I met Alex at his house and we picked up Bianca and headed up to Bonny Doon Ecological Preserve for our hike. The area suffered fires in 2008 and 2020 but was still nice. Lots of plants and animals only exist on these sand islands in the area. This was the hottest recent day in the high 90’s but the hiking group of 13 didn’t complain and all seemed to enjoy the hike. On the way home I picked up lunch at Los Altos Taqueria then relaxed the rest of the day. No dinner needed due to the late lunch.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVCs81u25t1gGPs5RTUbg7cz4qL9vGXPAv0Xwxn6Ce6WVgG6bsFKubw2i-1KCswYoXJu7x6TG_J1dDtTpBZTSqoqYXHlHMqjZObkaK9weOgMolLRIF5YLLEzoTNWIcdww2iAGHXcOI1c5OsJPxS6qLGLtGdDBHsXSXP-e-IDXHnKzwH8r3Tqnmfe7zBw/s4624/20220610_100559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
