Saturday Odd and Ends

After spending a great afternoon with my friend Jack at lunch at Victoria Gardens, I stopped for gas for my cruiser. $4.11 a gallon!!! $60 to fill her up!!!




Friday Jack and I drove to San Diego and wondered around the USS Midway aircraft carrier. Not only can you walk through three decks of the ship, but there were about a dozen aircraft displayed in the hanger deck and on the flight deck. The tour provides headsets and players that offer information on the various areas of the ship and there were also guides stationed at different locations who actually served on the ship to answer questions and offer additional information. Afterwards we walked over to SeaPort Village and shared a Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. It was a beautiful day in San Diego and a wonderful experience going through the USS Midway.



Friday evening Karen and I attended out first Rancho Cucamonga Quakes game of the year. It's always enjoyable going to see the Quakes. The stadium is always clean and well run. This year they've added a wider variety of food and snacks. We got to see about 15 minutes of fireworks afterward, which is always a plus. Oh, they lost the game 11-3.
This week Karen planted a few new plants in the pots on our front porch. She has the green thumb in the family. I'm lucky to get crab grass to grow. She also gets much more enjoyment out of it than I do. Pretty eh? The flowers are too!!!
