So today was a bit full. First off, I got out on my morning walk before it got hot. I am starting to get this whole walking off the weight idea down.

Along my walk, I saw some folks who decided they wanted to break out a hot air balloon. But given the attention they were getting, I think the police came around and shut

As the baseball season has gotten to the core part of the year. This week meant few nights watching games.

I watched the Los Angeles Dodgers play against the St. Louis Cardinals.

This weekend means being in San Diego to watch my New York Mets play the San Diego Padres. Tonight should be fun, the Mets have the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom, pitching

I have been on my own time since Wednesday as there has not been any days at trial due to a lack of witnesses. I have spent the time exercising quite a bit. On one of my walks I came across this sign about a horse trail being private. I don't know if this is common or just for the uppity people where I live....

Today was a break in the trial I am on a jury for, so I took the day off from work because I am to hit the limit for how much vacation time I am allowed to have. I have just shy of 8 weeks worth of paid time off on the books. I go to work every day largely because I have nothing else...

Oh, I feel the same about having much time off and realizing my lack of friends. But that was a nice view of the Beach 😁

Beautiful photo, I hope you enjoyed your day off (and hopefully jury duty will be over soon).  Finding real world friends is so difficult as an adult.  Thankfully my co-workers and I are are really tight-knit, and I have a few childhood friends; but if it weren't for them I wouldn't have a clue where to meet people.

Last night featured a quick stop at a party to celebrate the posters from Lucha Vavoom, the masked Mexican wrestling/burlesque show I go to. I can't wait for their next event once the crowds are allowed back again.

I think there was a cartoon based on this kind of wrestling... It's awesome!

@rubymoon  The Lucha Vavoom shows are a great night out in L.A. 😊

This past Saturday featured a last minute trip to watch some boxing. It was a chance to take my nephew along, since he had never gone before. Our day was a stop at the movie theater to watch the Jason Statham movie, Wrath of Man, next was down to the fights.

I ran into super middleweight contender, David Benavides, along the way. He was really

Nice!  You're really getting out and about, I'm glad to see that!

@libris It is definitely a welcome respite from being left to my own thoughts.

The baseball season is in full swing for me now as the last couple of weeks has seen me back at the ballpark for the first times this season to watch some games live. I saw a minor league game last week between the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and the Inland Empire 66ers, which a minor league teams for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles

do you watch live games a lot? i confess i`ve never been to a stadium, not a fan of big crowds, but i like sports (on my TV)
franie:
@emeralda I do go to live games pretty often. The crowds can be a pain sometimes, but the crowd is what creates a lot of the atmosphere.

Well, now the birthday has come and gone I can keep my head down and move on to my next thing. Today starts my latest jury service. I get picked almost every time. This trial is supposed to go for a month. Good thing I have a government job, so I get my regular paycheck no matter how long the trial lasts. Work will be...

It seems like being selected for jury duty is similar to being struck by lightening... if you survive the the first time you're more likely to get hit again.

April has been a quiet month so far. I have been making some repeat trips. I went back to the Petersen Automotive Museum to spend more time in the vault. The first time I went I spent a lot of time upstairs.

That is KITT from the old Knight Rider television show

That is the car from the Speed Racer movie.

This is a custom

As the virus situation improves in California, I have been able to get out more and do more things in the last few weeks. I went to see The Art of The Brick. The Lego art installation. I might have to visit it again.

The stuff is all made with common Lego bricks. The artist is a talented guy.

The Petersen Automotive Museum reopened last
