He’s been gone for several years but I still think of what a great father and role model he was. Happy Father’s Day where ever you are Dad!

Fort Tejon
Last Monday Betty and I drove up to Fort Tejon which is of course in the Tejon pass. We spent about an hour walking around looking at the building, grounds, and stuff. There isn’t really a lot to see but I somehow managed to take over 100 pictures. You can find them in my Gallery.

I’m glad they love us now
I remember one of the main points the left was making about Obama during the campaign was how he would make the world like us again. We had become hated only because George Bush was such a cowboy and made all those extremists want to kill us.
Well I for one am glad that Obama has made such a huge difference in how we are viewed. If not for him there might be terrorists trying to set off car bombs in Times Square.
Oh wait. Never mind…

Jessica’s almost home!
Not sure how many who read this are following Jessica Watson but if you are you know she’s almost home.
Jessica is a 17 year old girl who decided to try to become the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted, and non-stop around the world. She’s now a week or so from arriving home in Sydney Australia. I’ve been following her since a few days after she started in October and it’s been inspiring to read about her trials and joys. She’s had a few knockdowns and some huge seas in the 7 months she’s been sailing.
Abby Sunderland, a 16 year old from Southern Cal left a few months ago to try to beat Jessica’s pending record but she’s having to put in to port to fix a broken auto-pilot. That means she won’t be able to beat Jessica on the non-stop, unassisted part but she can still become the youngest to ever circumnavigate the globe. Abby’s brother was the youngest when he did it a few years ago.
I’ve got links to both girls over in my Links section. Pretty interesting reading if you’ve got some time.

Garden 2010 Version
We planted a garden a few weeks ago. Ok, Patrick planted 90% of it but I helped. Ok, I didn’t help much but I did buy the soil and the plants.
If you recall from last year we planted a garden and the earwigs immediately ate most of it. All that survived last year was the tomatoes and peas. This year we planted all kinds of stuff and dusted with Sevin every few days.
All of the plants seem to be surviving the bugs. A couple of them died for some unknown reason but we hope everything else keeps going.
I’ve posted pictures in my gallery.

Fontana, take 2
This coming Saturday we are heading out to Fontana Raceway again but this time it’s to watch some drag races. They are holding the NHRA Heritage Series Nostalgia Drags. I’m not sure what I’m going to see but I’m taking my camera and will post pics afterwards. Click here to see the info on it.
