So, the other weekend we stopped by the Greek Festival in San Jose. Apparently San Jose has a big Greek population and it is thriving. The food at the festival was good, but it made me kind of want to go to a dutch festival like the old days back in Fulton.
Here is the view from mt. Hamilton.
Here is the view from mt. Hamilton.Saturday Brenda and I rode to Mount Hamilton and the Lick Observatory. It is a cool road that is a great motorcycle ride as well as a good time. The curves and the smooth road are always a good time and we got to see a part of the bay area that we had not been before.
Today after church I went on a ride by myself and had a great time going down the backroads to Watsonville and over to Gilroy and then home again. This was such a good time and it is amazing what a couple of rides can do to relax your body.
I have been working out in the CV(central valley) for the past week and will be out there most of the next week as well. It is installing a air sparge system and is a good time, but a lot of hard work. Hard manual labor is always good for the body as well as the mind (but not for the back).
The bike is doing great and I have a hard time keeping on the straight and narrow...it loves the curves.
Fruit and produce is grown all over California and is always fresh and always good.Oh ya "it" finally came in. Brenda and I made a deal that if her A1C was below 6.5 she would get a diamond necklace and ...well it was and ...so here it is. It took a long time to get the necklace because we had to order it to get the exact thing that she wanted. She has it now and is sporting it everywhere.
An up close of the diamonds.Have you noticed what passes for news nowadays...I can hardly watch TV without shaking my head and thinking why do I care and why are they spending time on this crap. For the past 3-4 years they have been reporting on the 49ers moving to the south bay and every time it does not happen and then three months later they recycle the same old story to fluff out the broadcast. I hate that crap and the next time I hear about them moving they had better be here, or the TV is getting shot.

Glad to hear you're putting your bike to good use John. We missed you the other night for dinner, maybe another night while you are in the CV. Beautiful necklace Brenda and good job staying healthy!
The necklace is perfect! Love it! Great job with the A1c! :)
Brenda~! It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Way to go on the awesome A1c! Perfect choice! =) John, you are a great husband!!! cara
I think the bike would love all the curvy roads in SD! Brenda, the necklace is gorgeous! It was well worth the wait, that's for sure. Did you get to look through that big ol' telescope? I wanna know: would you really shoot your TV? I laughed out loud when I read that. :)
Thanks for the nice comments on the new bling, bling. John's a good man. Just know that he is blowing off steam when he says that he will shoot the TV. Although we do have a gun propped up next to the TV by the the sliding glass door. The purpose is to kill the nasty squirrels that get in my flowers. 4 down and an unlimited amount of those pesty creatures to go! At least he doesn't eat them like once in college, however the rattlers he killed at work are tasty according to him. Brenda
Sweet wheels! Your Yosemite trip looks BA!
And nice Bling Brenda! So sparkly!
