Tuesday: (05/06) Mostly relaxed today. Lunch at Chili’s Restaurant. Quesadillas for me, fajitas for Lou and Dawn. Lou mad lasagna for dinner.
Wednesday: (05/07) I made spam hash and eggs for breakfast which we enjoyed in the backyard. There were a few blackberries to sample from the vines. I did a little pruning of the arbor. if left to it’s natural desires, it would turn into a huge green ball with no entry to the inside. We al took a “walk” to the nearby Grocery Outlet market. Lou got to roll with us. Lunch was crackers and cheese. I spent much of the afternoon trying to connect Dawn’s braille printer to her computer. Success eventually happened. I also washed my trail clothes. Even though they had all been rinsed fairly well previously at teh motel, the ash water was black. I’m not sure i left much dirt on the trail? Spinach lasagna for dinner
Thursday: (05/08) I spent much of the day watching the City tree crew trimming all the trees on our street. I also prepared all the pictures for the blog and uploaded them to each post. I still need to integrate them into the post text. Leftover spam hash and eggs for breakfast. Lunch at LUU Noodle House. Misc leftovers for dinner.
Friday: (05/09) A Jack In The Box Loaded breakfast Sandwich started my day. A couple of my fellow hikers met at my place to carpool to our hike this morning. We met the 29 other hikers at the Castle Rock State park trail head. We did a six mile loop hike that took us by the waterfall. Our hike started in the fog and after some sprinkles of rain but the sky cleared shortly for some nice views of the mountains and ocean along the trail. A nice hike finishing about 1300. For lunch I made a couple of English muffin ham and cheese sandwiches. While I was gone today, the city’s tree crew had removed three big trees from the street and ground out the stumps. I missed all the fun! For dinner we had tostados. I finished integrating the hike photos into the blog posts for the hike tonight.
Saturday: (05/10) Laundry day. Lou and Dawn were busy taking a couple of baby birds that were found by the tree crews to the bird rescue folks. One of the three, a woodpecker that appeared to be the most likely to survive, died just before they took the others away. Breakfast at A Good Morning Restaurant. Lasagna for lunch. Pasta for dinner.
Sunday: (05/11) I tinkered with the drip watering system adding some emitters in the garden for new plants and adjusting other emitters around the yard that weren’t working right.

Tuesday: (05/13) A relaxing morning. Around 1000 we took Lou to her appointment. Dawn and I then went to breakfast/lunch at the Country Inn. Dawn visited a couple of book stores while I visited REI to swap my replacement hiking shoes for a size larger. That’s two sizes larger than my actual shoe size. Hopefully my toes appreciate the room. I did do an upgrade from my subdued color shoes to bright orange. Now if I fall off a cliff, if my feet are up, I’ll be located easily. I also stopped by the house in San Jose to pickup some paint to redo Lou’s entrance step that has some water damage. I also stopped by Central Computer for some cables and a new computer keyboard. Lou decided to spend the night so Dawn and I stopped by Aqui’s restaurant for dinner.
Wednesday: (05/14) This was a record hot day today, mid 90′s. The CPM machine finally arrived at noon. We picked up Lou and came home about 1330. Otherwise a relaxing day. Biscuits and honey for breakfast. More leftovers for lunch. Pesto gnocchi for dinner.
Thursday: (05/15) Lou had an appointment this morning. While at the hospital, I gave a little of my precious blood for a test as well. In the afternoon I did a quick shopping trip to Sprout’s market. Otherwise, a relaxing day for me and exercise for Lou. Cottage cheese and berries from our vines for breakfast. Green salads for lunch. I added a grilled English muffin ham and cheese sandwich to mine. For dinner we had spaghetti squash with chicken for dinner. i got a quick trip out to Sprout’s market for a few things.

Fresh black berries from our vines for a snack. Chips, cheese, humus ans salsa for lunch. Roast chicken with quinoa and vegetables for dinner.
Sunday: (05/18) The end of another week. Today’s high was 71 degrees, quite a difference from last Wednesday’s record high. I dashed off early to do a little grocery shopping at Walmart and Sprout’s. I picked up my breakfast at Jack In the Box. Yogurt for Lou. Tuna and cheese sandwich for lunch for me, chicken for Lou. In the afternoon I took the car out to be washed.

Monday: (05/19) Lou had an appointment at noon. I made sausage, home fried potatoes and eggs for breakfast. Lunch was chicken from KFC, Dawn made lentil and ham soup for dinner.
Tuesday: (05/20) I had to rebuild the front entrance platform step. Some of the plywood had become delaminated. I had to shorten the step about five inches . Smaller will still be good. I also tinkered on the computer. We also order a new TV for Dawn from Walmart online which we should receive by Friday. I picked a nice bunch of berries and Lou and Dawn had leftover French toast and berries for breakfast. I had leftover sausage and potatoes for mine. For lunch I picked up a couple of chopped salads fro our local Corner Bakery restaurant. In the morning I started some beef in the slow cooker which became beef stroganoff on baked potatoes for dinner.

Breakfast was leftovers. Lunch and dinner were from LUU noodle House.
Thursday: (05/22) I took Dawn to an appointment in San Jose. We stopped for breakfast at La Victoria Restaurant in downtown SJ. I really like their breakfast burritos and their famous orange sauce. Lunch and dinner were leftovers. On the way home from SJ I stopped and did some final looking around for a new laptop for Lou and decided on an Asus windows 8 touch screen laptop. It cost less than $400 with tax and case. Lou’s old laptop was just too slow and I decided a new one would make her happier than just reinitializing her old one which had a bad wireless radio and was maybe 10 years old. She will hopefully adjust to the new ways of Windows 8.
Friday: (05/23) A hard morning of TV watching. Lou had an appointment in the afternoon. We were looking for Dawn’s new TV to arrive but it didn’t until just after we left for Lou’s appointment. In the evening i set it up to test but will have to wait to do the final setup until i can mak a stand for it and run a cable to it’s new home. Corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. Leftovers for lunch. Green salad for dinner.

Sunday: (05/25) Ernie fired up his BBQ and we grilled a bunch of stuff. he filled his freezer. I did some pork and some dogs. I also started working on building new doors for the greenhouse. The old ones aren’t the right size and we need to seal it a bit more to keep critters out of it. The old doors were solid, the new will be 1/2 wire. In winter I’ll add plastic over the wire. I made a good breakfast of potatoes, sausage and eggs. Lunch was BBQ hotdogs and potato salad ala Dawn. Leftovers for dinner.
