OC fair

Well it's been a busy week, with the heat and me doing a lot of side work i managed to make time to go to the Orange County Fair last week... it was fun and a lot cooler being down by the beach.. As typical i ran into a guy whom i have not seen since high school.. Rick Reyas and I grew up together and went to elementary school, jr. high school and high school together.. He looks the same and is still living in Whittier....I also ran into some friends who work at Knotts, Randy Elliot who owns the geode shop... he filled me in on a lot of things.. no surprise... we walked around and saw a lot of people selling things and went to the livestock judging ring and watched 5 of the high schools in the district compete in different categories... Sonora took blue ribbon for cattle.. the sheep judging was going on and the swine was later... missed that.. i did see one teacher and he was tired.. long days with the fair but he loves it and cannot wait till next year.. well one other bit of shock.. i have started to ride my bicycle to work.. yep me... i have not been on bike in over 10 years and i got on it and rode to work.. 5 miles one way... i am doing 4o miles a week, which means i drive on Wednesdays... i have done 2 weeks now and look forward to the next...
