On the way to work Bob sees smoke of the fire and lightning strike near Mt. Palomar.
Fire on the Mountain
Fire started this afternoon from a lightning strike near Chihuahua Valley. Its always too close for comfort…
Cabin Life – August 6, 2012
This weekend we took Ginger to the vet to have her teeth cleaned. They knocked her out, and it took her a couple of days to get back to herself. We also, installed the counter tops at the Guesthouse. Cutting the openings for the sink was a dirty job, but went good. Ed and Linda visited on Saturday night and Ed worked on plans with us for the A-Frame upgrade next year. Lots of details and extra work to make it fit in the A-Frame. It looks like it can be done in stages so it may take awhile but not be so disruptive to living. We have the cover for the tractor on order and it should come in withing the month.
On Sunday we sealed the counters and worked on the backsplash behind the sink.
Bob works “La Cage Aux Folles” this week.

Rain Today
Nice rain today. Over .5 inch so far. That’s good for the desert.
Breakfast in OB
Because Bob had an early call for “Memphis” on Sunday he cleaned the Timken late (until 2 am) Saturday. That meant he and Mike got to Vito breakfast at Dennis and Bob’s old favorite in Ocean Beach, Ortega’s. They recently expanded and the food didn’t disappoint, especially the Mango Pineapple Lemonada.

Dennis’ birthday was last week, but no pictures from it…sorry Marilyn. Tim did suggest a good restaurant in town called Brooklyn Girl Eatery in Mission Hills and we had a nice dinner with Mike and Marty joining Tim and Ed. Then we went back to Tim and Ed’s house and Christy (Ed’s niece that lives next door) served some good cheesecake.
Finally a weekend with us both off. The weather was hot and humid, but we worked through it to get some projects done. The car garaged door was not closing right and it seemed the sun was hitting the safety sensors so we moved them back a bit and it seems to be working now. This week the counter tops for the Guesthouse should be done and we got the plywood secure on the counters and cut the hole for the new sink. Then we started on installing the cat door between the garage and house.
Sunday night we went for dinner with Ed and Linda and Ed was in a creative construction mood. He has been thinking of our remodel to open the wall between the dining room and the garage. Let’s just say it involves stairs and a dormer and better access to the loft. It is very intriguing and may be a very good idea. In two weeks they plan to come stay and help draw up a plan. What a support Ed has been to making Cielo Grande what it is.
This week Bob starts work on “Memphis” for a week.

Highway to Temecula
New horse sculptures on the road to Temecula. Now they have jumped the highway.
Correatown – Further
A different kind of song. Makes me almost have hope for the world:
