Well our truck is out of the shop and we are headed back on the road. It has been a wonderful 5 day break for us though. Irene and I rented a car and headed up to San Diego to do some sightseeing. We spent the day walking along the coastline enjoying the ocean breeze, sunshine, and each other’s company. We managed to see the seals and sea lions that hang out on the rocks while we walked in La Jolla…kinda funny, we were walking along and I said to Irene, those rocks just moved…all she could do was laugh…they blend in so well when they lay on the rocks they are hard to see…oh well so my eye sight is getting bad…lol
We had the chance to eat at some great restaurants, catch up on rest, and watch Alabama whoop LSU…loved it! We met some very nice people during our stay and can’t wait to return. California is such a beautiful state and there is soooo much to see and do, but I would never want to live here…way to tight for me. A lot of traffic, small houses stacked together tight and way to many people…some very strange ones I might add…lol…still a great place to visit.
I would like to thank Irene for the time we shared in Cali…she is my best friend, my lover, my wife. She makes spending everyday with her such a joy and I look forward to growing old with her and doing a lot more sightseeing together in the future…I love you Irene!

Quit Complaining Randy…
We had the most amazing time together roaming the west coast. I absolutely love this job and the places it takes me. I know so many people that say they would love to visit California to see what it is like, well my job allows me to do just that. I even felt a little guilty for having such a good time and staying in a nice place. However, the reality is that while we are not in the truck moving, we are not making any money. It was worth it though; we have seen some amazing things. The only drawback to all this is that our children are not with us. I am posting a few pictures for you to see of how we spent our free time.

Still Idle In Cali…
Well we received the bad news that the truck would not be ready till Monday…maybe. Are you kidding me…with today’s technology you would think a few hours and done…plug into the computer, get a diagnosis, fix and go. Oh well…wishful thinking.
So we rented a car and have been wandering enjoying all this area has to offer. First we needed to stop by the repair shop and retrieve the camera and a few other items. When we pulled into the repair shop Irene and I were both wondering why our truck was sitting outside…is it finished? Great now that we rented a car right…I asked Irene to grab what we needed out of the truck and I would talk with the service manager. The service manager is nowhere to be found so out to the truck I go…wait, why is Irene laughing hysterically…and who is that stranger crawling out of our truck…oh snap, that’s not our truck! Another Conway driver had come to the shop that morning for service, and was asleep in his truck…Irene was trying to get in and he woke up and came out of the sleeper scaring the day lights out of her…I turned around and looked in the shop and there was our truck, right where we left it on Thursday…uhhhh Irene, our truck is over here…LOL…by now everyone in the place is laughing hysterically…Poor Irene…lol
Anyway we have been eating and shopping…then eating and shopping. We had the most incredible Chinese you could imagine yesterday…one of the locals told us of a Chinese restaurant that had a Mexican spin to its taste…incredible! Today we were told of an authentic Mexican restaurant (we are only a few miles from the border) that was just down the street…yes we are still trying to cool the flames…hot and spicy but delicious. I love this area…it’s impossible to loose Irene…she is the only blonde I have seen here so far…lol…and yes English is the 2nd language here…but everyone is very nice to us. The best part of course is they have my favorite Mexican beer…Sol…love the stuff!
Well enough for now I guess…need to help Irene catch up on the laundry…she managed to break the only machine the hotel had…kinda…so the manager is letting us use the big machines they use for the linens. Way to go Irene…I love having her with me…she’s so entertaining!
