Randy Made Me Do It

Randy Made Me Do It

We have a new member of our West Hills, Lena St.  household. Meet Sasha. Sasha is a mere three months old and is already famous for her singing voice. Though a little shrill for Randy and I, the younger set seems to enjoy her ‘living life out loud’ attitude. A bargain at under $1000.00, we feel it is money well spent as her constant crying is teaching us patience. We will be looking forward to taking Sasha on her first road trip this weekend. Wish us luck! “If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.” –...

Flash the Photoshop Expert

Flash the Photoshop Expert

Many years ago my brother Flash hired a girl who was a credentialed Photoshop expert to help in his business HQ Secure Internet Development (my webmaster, ahem). As time went by he found himself spending more and more time showing her how to use Photoshop. It was at that point he realized he was the Photoshop expert in the business. “Think of the money I saved not taking any of those highfalutin classes” he quipped. Today I sent over a photo of my dig Sierra that I had taken with my iPhone’s camera. Can you believe how great the iPhone is and how crappy...

Kern River Again 2011

Kern River Again 2011

Our annual trek to the Kern River was another great success. This one was filled with adventure as well. The trip up saw us face to face with wild fires in the area. Our Class A motorhome was buffeted by Class A winds, luckily they were blowing the fire ‘away’ from our rig. Randy was white knuckled and I was freaking out when I got “No Cell Service” instead of our good friends and fishing/camping buddies Rick and Cindy on the phone. As luck happened, the road closure to our camp area was lifted after only an hour of waiting and the good times...

OMG! Flying Flags Again

OMG! Flying Flags Again

My pals and I are making another pilgrimage to Bueltons’ Flying Flags RV Park and Campground. While, environmentally it is not the most stunning spot, it nonetheless is one of the more popular trips for our Road Runners RV group. I remember back when; my nephews Zac and Max spent a weekend with us. They had journeyed down from Cambria, that storybook seaside community further north on the coast. Zac was just learning to ride a bike and he took full advantage of the uncrowded campground. He road up and down every row! When he was finished, he and his brother Max...

Carpinteria State Beach Park

Carpinteria State Beach Park

We’ve made another successful pilgrimage to Carpinteria; hauled our fifth wheel and were lucky to get a spot in San Miguel with hookups. My brother Flash Buddy and his wonderful family, Jan Baby, Zac, Max & Molly the dog are in attendance with a borrowed tent trailer as is my father, Frank Alexander, staying at the Holiday Inn Express. Six days of fun in the sun; and it is sunny! We zipped north to Santa Barbara for an evening concert in the park. Hapa was happening. While the musicians were obviously talented, most people were there for the social scene. Next...

Foggy Rafting on the Kern River

Foggy Rafting on the Kern River

Had a wonderful weekend of the Kern River. Along with my dad, our good camping buddies Rick and Cindy we enjoyed Baja Fogs, fishing, rafting (we rafted from the shore vicariously) and more Baja Fogs. Enjoy the Video! [youtube width="500"...
