Weather: low 60 degrees, high 70 degrees, rain early, then clear skies
We’re two days away from the outage starting at the job, and it appears as though everything is ready to go. The preparations for this shutdown seem to be going much better than the previous one that was conducted in the fall. It’s going so well that everyone will be taking the next two days off before the outage officially begins Saturday night. If the shutdown goes as well as the work leading up to it, I should be finished here by April 28. Then it’s on the road again!
This morning before I went to work, I though I had Carolyn convinced she needed to go to the doctor for her allergy problems. Not so. I guess it hasn’t gotten bad enough. She did decide to start using some cough medicine that had previously been prescribed for her, so the cough has gotten better.
Before we went to California, we had heard many of the disparaging things that people say about the state. Regardless of how some of the people act or how expensive it is to live there, Northern California was a beautiful place for us to visit. After all the negative things we had heard, it was a pleasure to see so much of the natural beauty, and meet people who were actually nice. Our trip along the coast on US 101 was one of the highlights of our entire time on the west coast. We turned north at San Francisco, and took about three weeks to explore the area up to the Oregon Coast.
Here's one of the pictures we took of the hills near the coast above Jenner.
Among the natural beauty was all sorts of wild flowers. This picture is just one example of what we saw all along the coast.
So, do we want to visit California again? You betcha!
More later, be safe.
