San Diego skyline at night

I took this amazing photography class Sunday (10 hours). I learned so much about my camera and then in the evening we took these great pictures of the skyline. I love this city!

What is going on!

What is happening in my funky little town? I was driving to meet a girlfriend for lunch today and I see this guy twirling this sign! Of course me with a camera ever ready stops when the green light told me to go, and I pull out my camera as the green light turned red. I needed to get photographic evidence of this. This Spacolli wanna be (right down to the checkered Vans) was in my neighborhood twirling a sign for medical marijuana that delivers! He is shirtless and dancing.

So later I went to the movies and Mr. Fast Times was getting back from lunch, he takes his shirt off and starts his sign dance all over. YIKES!!!!! This movement to Keep Leucadia Funky is really working.

Afghan complete

I finished my first crocheted afghan. I thought I was going to make it all cream colored but when it was finished I knew it needed a bit of color so I added this yummy lemongrass green edge. Now I have 5 request for other ones. I have to get on the ball because they are so warm and cozy I cannot work on them during the summer.

Last Day of San Diego Regional Finals

Today was the last day of the San Diego Regional Robotics Competition.

This is the field that the game "Breakaway" was played on (a robotic soccer game, 3 team robots against 3 team robots).

1538 was High Tech Highs bot. That big arm sticking out of team 1717 was to hoist their robot up on the platform and earn 2 bonus points.

Jeffrey came down to watch a bit of the morning seeding and cheer on The Holy Cows. Wyatt just got done giving him a tour of the pits.

Here is an up close picture of Daisy Bell, she won the award for imagery because the robot looks so complete, must be the powder coating. They lost in the quarterfinals when Daisy Bell broke an axle and lost a chain.

This was the team after they won the Chairman's Award, the highest award given to any team. Its based on spreading the news of First Robotics through community outreach, supporting local events and their knowledge of engineering and technology.

Here is Wyatt first robotic medal. This was the second year that the Holy Cows won the Chairman's Award, it has never happened at the San Diego Regional.

Hungry, Hungry Heiffers!

Today was the first day for the San Diego robotics competition. Today was a check in, go through inspection, get your pit set up and have a few practice matches.
Wyatt and I had to be at the San Diego Sports Arena at 7 am. It was raining and as we were driving into the Sports Arena I saw the most amazing rainbow, of course my camera was in the way back of my car, it was pouring down rain. It stopped by the time I had to get out of my car and walk to the entrance.
I also had to help set up and serve lunch to the 40 kids from the team that were at the competition. They all ate a ton of food and tomorrow is the actual beginning of competition day an then Saturday will be another day of competition. I hope a bot doesn't catch on fire again. . . oh did I forget to mention about a robot catching on fire? Yes during a practice game one of the team robots was going over the bump on the field and got stuck, next thing you see is smoke and smelly burning electronic stuff (kids came running to see it, so I missed it all)

Lucky Day

Today is a lucky day, I found this sweet ladybug outside my house this morning. Since it is March I thought I would it would be fun to take picture of "lucky" items. What are your lucky items?
Enjoy this month and have the luck of the Irish with you!

Welcome March

Today was the first official day of my 2 week vacation, I got up early to take my friend to the airport and when I walked outside I saw this amazing moon setting. It was so close I felt like I could almost reach out and touch it. I am so glad that I was up to enjoy it.

On my way back from the airport I called and woke Wyatt up on his day off and asked him if he wanted to go to breakfast he said he wanted to go to the Potato Shack and get two Manhole chocolate chip pancakes. Naturally he was only able to eat half of this pancake but it was fun to look at.
