Stay Classy San Diego

The movers will be here in two hours. My 7 years in San Diego were great. Who knows I may be back someday in the future, but for now it’s off to Seattle.

Pacific Road Trip

We leave Saturday morning for our move to Seattle. Movers will be taking most of our stuff. We are driving our own cars the 1250 miles. Thankfully I have satellite radio.
My car will be loaded with essential items. Those include some clothes, my PC and my espresso machine. That way if our movers [...]

Opening Day at the Del Mar Races

One of the most popular San Diego events is the opening day at the Del Mar Races. This year was the first year I attended. I didn’t bet any of the horse races, but I did make $250 day trading the Real Estate Ultra Short earlier that morning.

Preparing for the Move to Seattle

Boxes are everywhere. We are throwing some stuff away and trying to sell a few items. I once figured out that I had moved 17 times in a 17 year period. Now that I’m no longer a home owner, I don’t expect that pace to slow down.

A mover will ship our stuff, but we will [...]

Snake in the Garage

Selling RanchoSanPasqual.org

Almost a month ago I announced that I would be selling RanchoSanPasqual.org. I created the RSP site to help sell my house. My house sold. Now it’s time to reduce my commitment to this site. I have other projects that are more important.
The problem I discovered is that nobody wants to buy it.
The site would [...]

San Diego Zoo - July 2007

Usually the line to see the Pandas is very long at the San Diego Zoo. We avoided the line by arriving early and heading straight there.

I also got a good shot of the Polar Bear.
