Aug 3 Ron went back to work today after being home for 4-1/2 months due to a back problem. The prior weekend he visited his brother Ed in Utah. The 8 hour drive in the corvette went well but it was very hot driving through the desert that day (102-114F). Even went quad-ing 15 miles one morning on one of the dirt roads in the area. Ed lives at the 4000' level 18 miles outside of St. George where the temperature was in the 80F. It was a good weekend to get away from it all.
Jul 12 Ron celebrated his 62th birthday in Santa Barbara, California. Gloria gave him a surprise weekend in the best Hotel on the beach. Took a land/boat tour, a vehicle that toured through Santa Barbara's historic downtown then doubled as a boat to site see through the marina, around the largest pier there and out on the ocean. It took them to a floating buoy fully occupied with several California Seals sunbathing. They also visited an Indian casino where they both hit big within the first 30 minutes. Yes, they still left that evening ahead. Ron carried the magical blue dot in his wallet and it must have worked. It was a wonderful weekend.
