nice, have fun in South America......Well, I woke up, so I've got that going for me.
My current plan is to drink coffee, finish my KPI class assignment (due today!), then possibly mosey up to the job fair and pack my clothes for South America.
Back in '78-79 when in grad school a buddy and I went fishing, wanted to try a new spot so we went to one of the tributaries off the American river up in the Sierra foothills. We hike awhile and come to a clearing with a broken down cabin over 100 yrs old. Lots of old antique tools, clothes irons( the old ones heated over a fire) with all the wood parts rotted away. Anyway, all of a sudden I notice this huge fig tree about 80ft away, 30-40 ft tall. I was amazed. Had to be some sort of micro nicheThere are a bunch of them growing around here, don't know what type though. There is one growing on the edge of a pasture that was a volunteer I guess that no one takes care of, but it has fruit every year. Edit: Brown Turkey trees?
That's just what it is, a giant outdoor picnic set to music. There are 4000 fixed theater seats up front for those that desire a more traditional concert experience, and the lawn further back that seats about 7000. I rarely attend the concerts on the lawn anymore, because it's usually people talking and eating loudly during the music. I can't enjoy the music through that noise, and it pisses me off that the lawn audience does not respect the artists enough to make them the focus of the experience. This concert was different - EVERYONE was silent the entire time. Glorious...That's quite the mix of different age groups. Almost looks like a big picnic.
You notice that a lot when riding a motorcycle in the foothills. There are places that the temp drops a good 10-15 degrees in a matter of feet, then it returns to normal. Where I live gets much colder than surrounding cities due to down slope breezes I believe, but there are warm pockets also.Back in '78-79 when in grad school a buddy and I went fishing, wanted to try a new spot so we went to one of the tributaries off the American river up in the Sierra foothills.

Cannot say it is going to happen, unfortunately, due to the American Airline mechanics union. I'm supposed to leave to Santiago on Sunday and my first leg to DFW has already been canceled. We will see what else the Chilean travel group can come up with but it is looking pretty bleak.nice, have fun in South America......
Looks like it was a great time. I love laid back concerts where you can sit on a blanket in the grass and enjoy the music and weather.That's just what it is, a giant outdoor picnic set to music.

My hiking trail on my cousin's land has a cold and a warm spot. There is enough of a change you notice it. I always mean to look in the daytime and see if there is some sort of cave opening near the cold spot. When Granny Larry and her sister were kids, {a hair over 100 years ago} they played in a cave in one of the fields. It was big enough they could get down in it and not be seen across the field. I've never been able to find it. We do have some limestone sinks on our land. I always figured it would be around them.You notice that a lot when riding a motorcycle in the foothills.

Sister was saying the Pride parade in Denver last weekend messed up traffic big time. Huge turnout. Hope you guys have a good time.. . . . . . . The Pride parade is on Sunday and the weather is looking amazing, 25°C with no rain. We're going to be on the top deck on of a TTC bus throwing ribbons and carrying on. My dad confirmed he'll be joining us again this year, our 13th parade together.
It's a zoo here every year but it's such a big party atmosphere that nobody seems to mind. As long as you use transit and avoid driving it's easy to get around during the parade. I like to go to the nyc Pride parade next weekend as well, just so I can say I've been there but it's not in the budget right now.Sister was saying the Pride parade in Denver last weekend messed up traffic big time.

They were coming from Colorado Springs, so on the interstate. It took a couple of hours to get through town.It's a zoo here every year but it's such a big party atmosphere that nobody seems to mind.

@WeedFreak78 turns out Calculus is very handy. I used it to install my garbage disposal FUCK YEAH!
@Singlemalt my son gas a huge old fig tree (Santa Monica). He still has not reported back on how Sig Fig tasted.
Now on to installing the faucet and hooking all this bullshit up.
I hurt.
I experienced that when I still had my bike.You notice that a lot when riding a motorcycle in the foothills.
