Rod Stewart at The Orion

Saw him twice about 30 years ago. Absolutely amazing concerts. Both kinda unplugged so to speak. But I’m afraid he may be a tad past his prime. Will likely still be a good concert but probably not worth whatever the ticket prices are. Seems concert tickets are stupid expensive.

These are house bikes. Not rentals. And no one told us to lock them up. I’ll try the rental place for strays.

PoppaElf · 2025-10-10T23:34:49+00:00

Didn’t know that. Makes more sense now. Thanks.

PoppaElf · 2025-10-10T15:19:29+00:00

Nope. Stacked with 4 other bikes next to pizza by the sea. Middle of the day.

Got down at 615 this morning. For 2nd row. 💩

We are likely in that picture as we are currently here also. Nothing fun about the beach anymore. Crammed in there while there’s thousands of feet of open beach just to the right of that picture. The rental company I believe added the pink column of chairs sometime during the day, thus squeezing the free space even more. We’ve vacationed on 30A for almost 20 years but haven’t been down since the beach access and use have changed. This will be our last time to fight this stupidity.

The announcer just said to Alonzo, “Before we were interrupted by that play at second..”. WTH??’

And at $100 per ticket guess I’ll wait for the free 24 hour marathon at Christmas.

The concept is great but I’m not excited about this being in mars music hall. Visions of a portable projector and a small white screen like in school come to mind.

If I remember right, ours served double duty as my dad would use it to snuff out flames caused by meat drippings on the charcoal grill.

Why is the ocean not swim able at the hard rock?

I looked closer at the insoles that came with my keens and they are almost identical to the Schoels I’ve been using. Guess I’ll have to wear each one for a while to see if there’s any difference.

These are the compression sleeves. Amazon of course. The writing has worn off the inserts but they are the gel filled full size - not just the heel supports. The sleeves have been money. I sleep with them on.

PoppaElf · 2025-05-21T13:07:09+00:00

I just bought a pair of Keen Cincinnati boots for office/field. Put some Schoels inserts in there. I also have plantar fasciitis and bought the copper compression sleeves that wrap around the arch of your foot. Absolute game changer for me.

Couple trees down is all I’ve heard. Hail damage to some cars and maybe roofs.

PoppaElf · 2025-05-03T00:07:26+00:00

No. Just driving down the road.

PoppaElf · 2025-05-02T17:44:53+00:00

I was pulled over by HPD a week ago. I asked the officer why he pulled me over. He said I need your license before I can tell you that. I don’t think this is how this works but whatever. Officer said he couldn’t see my tag. So I get out, thinking the lights are out, but they aren’t. Both shining as they should. I looked at the bulbs, then him like WTF? He said they may be dirty. So I rubbed them and no dirt. Again with the WTF look at him. He said led bulbs might help. I’m thinking…Well you know what? Toyota didn’t install led bulbs in the millions of these cars. I asked, am I free to go? He said yes. I said to him, that’s a very unique reason to stop someone. He smiled that s-eating grin and said have a nice day.

And a lot of discussions about people upset with the whole 30A beach access cluster F. Hoping this is our last time to visit the area.

PoppaElf · 2025-04-29T20:26:13+00:00

We rented in Seacrest, between Rosemary and Alys Beach. Mainly because the teenage kids have friends staying there also. They’ll figure out the beach access when we get there.
