Some Modeling...

no, not the fashion kind.  It is not perfect, but I have been working in a new program...

The Water is Fine...

when you are wearing a wet suit.  If you ever wondered how warm blooded animals can survive in cold ocean waters, fret no more.  Assuming their natural protective layers are even better than what we can create for ourselves, they are perfectly fine.

This is called a long board, for obvious reasons.  It is about 10 feet long
and is rather buoyant, great for the beginner surfer.

Thanks Jon for the early morning opportunity!

Focused on Pipes

I have been doing some searching on the internet for some information on ABS piping so that I can attempt to create an accurate model of the plumbing for the Amor house being built in San Carlos.  This is black pipe material that often serves as drainage and vent piping.  I was looking for images that had some size information included for the different fittings and connectors you can use, "Y" branches and "T" branches, that kind of thing.  After several different searches that were not yielding the results hoped for I decided to broaden my search so I deleted some of the adjective words from my search and went with just "ABS"  Having been focusing so intently on this piping information, I was momentarily startled and confused as to why the screen was suddenly full of men's flexing stomach muscles.

Tourist for a day

When my friend, who also happens to be my cousin came for a visit, we took time to do touristy things.  One of my co-workers explains the oddity of the situation this way, with the jobs we have, sometimes it is easy to forget that we live in San Diego.  I don't believe I have forgotten that I live here, but I haven't taken the time, resources or energy that is necessary to do many touristy things.  That is why a visitor was great.  We ate breakfast at a cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean and watched the surfers, rode bikes along the coast, walked around Seaport Village shops, went to a Padres baseball game, played volleyball on the beach and had freshly caught fish from a recommended place for dinner.  Thanks for being a tourist with me, Megan!

A Doll

She really liked her puppy and the baby ducks her family were raising.  Another day trip image to make you smile.  :-)
