 Day trip to Anza-Borrego. After 8am breakfast and a 9am Sams Club shopping trip we were able to get on the road around 11am. The book for this drive was Before She Disappeared: A Novel by Lisa Gardner . We had started the book the previous week and continued this week. By the end of the 9 hours on the road we still have about an hour and a half left.Smoky day out in the high desert.

This is more of a stream of though to primarily document my CISSP study process and events as I remember them while they are fresh in my mind. So I have been studying for the ISC2 CISSP exam since the end of March 2021. I attended the week long online version of the CISSP Bootcamp. Long slide deck going over the 8 knowledge areas of the exam.I started doing 10 question tests using Official (ISC)2

A trip up to see the kids turned into a 4 day road trip covering just about 2000 miles. We arrived in Orem Utah on Friday evening. After checking into our hotel, we went to see Shad and Liz and have dinner at their apartment.Saturday morning Cheryl and I went to a Black Bear Dinner for breakfast. Utah was a little weird with the COVID stuff. They did have indoor dinning, unlike California which

Yet another Sunday marathon drive. Still in COVID land 2020.Audio book this time was "The Hunting Party" by Lucy Foley. This drive fell just short of the 10 hours 8 minutes of this book. (Still had about 40 minutes left on the book when we arrived at home.)Started out on Ave D (CA-138). Could see quite a bit of burned areas from the Lake Fire from the past couple of weeks.North on Interstate 5 to

Very smoke filled sky drive.First out to Boron to see the new Loves service station that is being built.Took CA-58 all the way to Barstow and drove parts of the original Route 66 down town Barstow.Back on US-15 north bound to the Fort Irwin exit. Drove out to the Ft Irwin gate. Smoke was so thick in the air that visibility was only about a quarter mile. Did make for a very surreal but cool visual

Went for another marathon Sunday drive on August 2nd, 2020.This was the longest one yet that we have gone on in a single day.We chose a new audio book, "Nine Perfect Strangers" by Liane Moriarty. Went to the grocery store to get some traveling sandwiches, salads and other snacks.Started out going up US 395 toward Bishop and Mammoth. Ended up going all the way up to Lake Tahoe.Lake Tahoe actually

Sunday morning, started out with a 5 mile walk. Then decided to take a drive again and listen to an audio book. So we started "The Guest List" by Lucy Foley. The drive started out with a quick stop at McDonalds for a customary McGriddle combo and breakfast burrito combo. Don't reall like their food all that much, but the drive through is usually quick, so we could hit the road. Once we had

Returned from the Colorado Utah adventure and have finally had a change to get through all my photos from the trip. This was a busy trip on the front end with lots of "have to be here by this time" moments. The trip starts out with a run down to LAX at 4 AM on Sunday morning to drop Cheryl's son Jaxsen off by 6 AM for his eighth-grade Washington DC and New York City trip. From LAX we start the

Once or twice a year we get a nifty little dust storm that comes up from the lake bed. Here is the video from one of those times.

Out shooting the full moon on Aug 20th 2013. This was just a spur of the moment trip out to the West side of town to shoot some shots of the full moon. I really need to get back into this more.

Tri-Tip crusted with chopped Garlic. AWESOME!! We headed for Gilroy Ca Thursday afternoon so we could go to the Gilroy Garlic festival on Friday this year for all the great food and to see some of the cooking competitions. The food was awesome as always as was the company. The shrimp scampi and mushroom plate. After the garlic festival this year we decided to take a different route home

Ready for 2011 to be over with. I need to start getting back out in the field and shooting photos. Shot a lot over 2011 but not as much as I wanted to. So 2012 will be a fresh start. We'll see what changes 2012 holds in store.

Up in the snow near Lake Sabrina in Bishop California. Was a great day to go out and play in the snow. The only problem was that we stayed a little to long and hit falling snow at Lone Pine on the way back home. And it fell most of the way back, making the roads pretty slick. Saw a couple of spin-outs and one SUV on it's roof. But we made it home without to much of a problem, just a few white
