Back from SoCal

Wednesday, August 9 Mom's birthday (officially)

Drove to So Cal to go to a wedding reception and CD release party on Saturday, and surprise Mom for her birthday on Sunday. Well... made it to the restaurant in time Sunday morning to surprise Mom.

I love my car. No, wait; I hate my car. No wait....

A definite love-hate thing going on anyway. Without going too much into detail, I got some air into my fuel line, and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. In an effort to try to straighten out the pre-filter (in case its connections were the problem), I put duct tape to good use:


(And I don't wanna hear from nobody that those knots is grannies, and not true reef knots. K?)

Spent too much time waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road to make it to either of Saturday's happenings. But the car now works fine as long as I don't... um... want to drive it anywhere I guess.

Had fun at Mom's on Sunday. Happy Birthday Mom!


And got wrangled into the pool by Mister Athens as it was getting a bit dark. I had my underwater housing, so we took a few pics in there...



(No, Athens doesn't like his picture taken, why??)

Here's one out of the water. Well, we're still IN the water, we're just not under it...


Enough for now...
