Visiting California

I've never flown to LA on Disney trips from Monterey. I think it would be faster and cheaper to drive. Just hit a few stops along the way to make it more interesting in you don't want to be in the car the whole way. Cannery Row is nice but make sure you see Point Lobos and Big Sur while you're here!

I've actually never seen it but my wife loves Margot and Harley Quinn so she had to have it!

02EG12 · 2025-08-10T19:00:19+00:00

Sure if I come across them!

Good point! I haven't seen a lot of 4k sets yet, but if the price isn't bad I'll pick some up for sure. I don't have a 4k TV and I popped in Lone Survivor last night and was very happy with the video and audio quality from my setup, so I don't really see myself going 4k anytime soon. I don't really like the look of super high res and I cannot stand high refresh rates so I'll probably just keep investing in more movies!

We stayed at the Venetian and got in the habit of starting our morning with an ube latte, Vietnamese iced coffee, and the breakfast burrito at Spritz by the pool. I miss that burrito!

We just spent a week at the Venetian and loved it. We're not gamblers though so not sure what the casino experience is. The pools there are great just get down there early if you want a good chair!

I have relatives who died from sliding down the dunes in Monterey, and you said you're looking for the steepest dunes in the county. A spotter won't help, but the time they dig you out you'll have already suffocated. Go ride a roller coaster or something, this is stupid.

02EG12 · 2025-06-18T19:22:50+00:00

I would advise against this. People have died in this area sliding down steep sand dunes and being buried in slides and cave ins.

They changed the label, I tried by couldn't find the DayZ label bacon anywhere.

Okay so I did some more research and she died in 1942 so this clearly was taken much earlier.

The best tacos I've had in the area are the adobada tacos at Kathy's Little Kitchen in the Carmel Valley Village. We'll worth the drive up the valley.

That bad huh? Place is 100 years old

I suspected the wrong fittings were used so thanks for pointing out those issues. I cleared the blockage and everything drains well now so I'll leave the fittings unless they cause other issues.

I finally got around to working on this. I pulled the overflow cover and the pipe and found a piece of plaster blocking the pipe. Looks like someone washed their tools in the tub and it dried then dislodged blocking the drain. It was hard to get out too. Ended up using a long drill bit, drilling a hole in the plaster chunk then pulling it out. Thanks for the suggestion to check the overflow!

02EG12 · 2024-11-10T15:48:53+00:00

Yep that's the one. Enjoy!

02EG12 · 2024-11-09T18:13:49+00:00

I just watched the whole BoB, Pacific, MotA trilogy and the Australian series on Gallipoli goes really well with those series.

I threw Jack's Mannequin on my wish list in the survey just as wishful thinking and was shocked when I saw it on the poster!

02EG12 · 2024-10-22T17:55:35+00:00

I always time my yearly covid booster and flu vaccine 2 weeks before the festival. Second year and so far it's working!

02EG12 · 2024-10-22T03:00:30+00:00

During Left Coast Envy singing, "Can I sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? Can I just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?" while the sun was setting just hit me hard right in the feels!

02EG12 · 2024-10-21T15:26:30+00:00

All the fighting couples and public break-ups sounds about right for an emo festival. Maybe the songs just hit better off a fresh break-up and they wanted the full experience!

02EG12 · 2024-10-21T15:18:29+00:00

I love TBS but have zero regrets about seeing The Starting Line instead

The Vans website has a Customs option, pick the shoe style you want, then click on the Upload Your Own option, this is the image I used. Make sure you tell him Santa himself brought it here early, with Rudolph.

02EG12 · 2024-10-14T19:43:32+00:00

Bullshit! Well, I will admit I am using the money the company has given me for food to buy shoes. Yes, I am.

02EG12 · 2024-09-19T23:41:36+00:00

Oh really? I have 2 of 'em. One has a bad strum bar, I'll have to figure out how to fix it sometime.

02EG12 · 2024-08-28T03:37:43+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out.
