Early Holidays

The first real rain since I've installed my roof racks on the camphershell came through and I felt around inside to see how water tight the seals are. At least one wasn't. So I had Saturday morning to do a couple projects and among taking the boat out for a pump out and rearranging the galley shelves to put cups and kitchen ware and moving spices, oils, and cooking stuff inside behind the tinted sliding plexiglass (which looks much better and will be better for setting up to go sailing) I also grabbed some trusty butyl tape from the dock box and went and sealed the hardware on the campershell...of course it probably won't rain again for a long time now. I ran out of time and Mia and I drove down to San Diego to make a quick stop my friends holiday party and then spend the night and following day with her family down there for an early Christmas. We had fires going, games around the table, football on tv, and a gift exchange. After, they took us to The Lodge at Torrey Pines golf course - super beautiful and a really special way to make it start feeling like the holidays.

We took a brief trip over to Mia's dad apartment to help him finish moving out. It offered access to the larger (just sold) house on property and a great wooden-deck beach-lookout of Leucadia. The weather was obviously very sunny and warm during the day, bit dipped into the 40s at night - frigid for San Diego standards. 

First season I ever put a wreath on - hoping it causes LA drivers to be a little nicer.
