What did you do today?

Yesterday I worked straight through from 7 to 3, ran some errands on the way home and started mowing at 4. Finished mowing at 8, ate a quick dinner, started baking cupcakes and a birthday cake for Lily's party (today). Finished baking and icing the cake and cleaning the kitchen at 12:30. Got up with Lily at 6:30 this morning, woke Mom up at 8 and then started setting up tents and chairs in the back yard. So very, very tired already. I wonder if snorting icing would help?

I decided that I would do the cooking for fathers day. Probably a mistake but the food will be better. Smoking some spare ribs using a different mop, rub and sauce then I have been using. Prepared the mop and rub and the BBQ sauce is next after I finish my cigar.

Happy birthday to Lily! Congrats to Shelly for getting that stuff done.

I had a Wind Mitigation Inspection of my house today. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will lower my windstorm insurance significantly. The inspector said that 15-20% isn't uncommon. After the inspection fee, I'm really hoping for 20%. :-\

I then went to the Apple Store and exchanged my dead ipad for a new one, and was quite surprised that they A) Had one and B) gave it to me. When I called yesterday, they said that wasn't going to happen. I've been playing with it ever since. What a great little toy, though I can't quite deal with the keyboard yet.

Well, I did a bit of climbing/hiking:

Then had a great meal at the gourmet gas station (aka the Whoa Nellie Deli):

For the first time in 20 months (before my big accident of 2009), I lived up to my HC user name. Today I rode my Guzzi for 4 hours, through Ojai and up 33. 33 is one of the great motorcycling roads of the world. I really had missed it.

Nice! I haven't been down that road in ages. I'll have to make a run sometime this summer, as a send-off my current set of tires! :D

Nice pics as always, Peter. The Tioga gas station in Lee Vining is an odd place for gourmet food but it's truly great. We ate there when I stayed at June Lake a couple years ago.

Be sure to check out the Silver Lake resort the next time you're in that area. The food is a bit more ordinary, but certainly still quite delicious, and the view has Lee Vining beat:

So where are the obligatory Highest Pass in CA / Mono Lake Pictures?, you know

How's this one (from a different trip):

Feel free to drop by when you do.

I'll hold ya to that one! ;)
