Happy Monday Nor Cal. Hope everyone is still enjoying this wonderful liquid sunshine.

Bought an Xbox 360 yesterday. Told myself a long time ago I would never buy a gaming console, but I decided to bite the bullet and get one. Bought it off CL and again, I got a sweet deal. $85 for a console, two wireless controllers, a battery charger, and a small thin thing with the LA (oops St Louis) Rams logo on it, that I am told by my adopted grandson is for dance games. For that price I figured it would not work, but it was being sold by a grandma whose nephews moved to SLO, and so she decided to sell it.

Works perfectly after buying an HDMI cable. Only thing wrong is that one of the wireless controllers is missing the battery. However, the local Game Stop store has one for $7, so I will be heading over there after 10am to get one.

It came with Tiger Wood's PGA Golf game, so I looked on CL for other games as I am NOT a fan of golf. However, I did play it just to make sure the Xbox worked.

Absolutely gorgeous here today, and the extended forecast gives me hope on haying the lawn on Friday.

Was a beautiful day here yesterday with the exception of the wind. Made it seem colder than it actually was. Or, maybe it was the fact that I only wore a long sleeve shirt in place of a jacket.

Happy taco two for Tuesday Nor Cal!

Not for me! I couldn't wait to realize my first mortgage interest deduction. Hell, I already blew my return in Vegas.

I have not had a return in years. So April 15th is just another day for me.

I noticed that yesterday that sunrise was at 7:17AM, and sunset was at 7:17PM. It's that time of year!

There's also a good sized fog bank hugging the coast. Keeps the temps down, which is fine by me!
