Illegal in California

Perfectly fine in California

Spent much of Friday helping the church clean the parking lot for sealing
Lots of small projects around the house
Jeep trip down Thumb Butte Loop to Copper Basin Road.
We stopped to hike to Warden Cabin as marked on the map. There wasn't a cabin at the map location but we saw a bunch of other stuff along the way.
Another happy hour!
Tried out the Type 24 at the range - it was keyholing badly so might need a trip to the gunsmith

Mining cabin along the hike

Mine shafts

Old windmill still standing

Perfect example of keyholing

Hot Shots Juniper

Yet another trip to SD

Stayed in OB - I have never spent much time in OB but it was pretty fun; lots of hipsters and hippies with an everlasting odor of pot but it was fun to spend a few days there
I walked home from work one afternoon and it was very pleasant along Sunset Cliffs
Met with Jaya and Noah to start planning their wedding
Dinners at Hofmeister, Et Voila and OB street fair
Work meeting at Point Loma mini golf and Old Town Tequila Factory
The Santa Fe was having some wobble on the drive out so we took it OB Tire since I thought it might be a balance issue - they found one of the hubs was worn and replaced it - I highly recommend OB Tire

Another great happy hour
Rotated the tires on all the cars - it is very nice to have a large garage with enough room to work
Range time with a good friend - tried out the newly acquired MAS-36
Did a short hike along the Noodle trail - quite hot this weekend
Saw a fun duet at Founding Fathers and got a tour of their member's only speakeasy
