By know I'm fading fast... it's way past due with the coffee intake, so lets go and catch a java on the way to the Marin Headlands. We catch that java in Sausolito at the Cafe Trieste, the place where Susan and I had our first get-together after meeting at Ann's birthday party in November last year. I order a single decaf soy latte for Susan and for me a double latte with steamed half and half, please...
Ordering coffee from a "real" Barrista...
Then a hike in the Marin Headlands, this place is somewhat magic I think. With a sky that is so blue and not a cloud in the sky, a view to San Francisco and the coast up and down is just unreal.
Have a look...

After getting back to the car we grab a blanket, or a sheet more likely, go set-up at the beach for a sunset show... but the sun is still quite high, the wind was a bit on the chilly side so we had to roll-up pretty tight to keep each other warm. We could not make it to sunset, I was freezing and needed to get back into the car, so packed-up and drove up on a higher spot to park the car there and watch he sun set behind a fog-bank way out in the Pacific. Worth every dollar.
The last view to San Francisco today...
Back at Susan's house we go to the local Burito-shop and get some dinner to go, set-up in front of the TV and watch a pay-per-view movie while eating Buritos and drinking some Mexican beers. We watched Religious, by and with the comedian Bill Maher, what a great concept. More like a documentary of how Bill goes around the country to ask religious people why they are religious, with a good twist on things, exactly that kind of thing I would like to do.
I spend the night with Susan and head over to Berkeley in the morning, not much traffic, and by nine I'm home and getting my stuff ready for a long days work with Rich.
Driving to work with Oso...
It's time to trim-out the new Falaffel Restaurant, Chick-o-pea in Berkeley. I meet Rich at his office at 10, then we head over to the place where we can put our noses to the grind-stone... Feed the parking-meter with quarters every hour and still end up with a ticket because at one point of time the setting alarm with feeding the meter failed... sorry Rich.
The usual suspects are there too, and the place has taken on some shape now, it's all sheet-rocked and painted, nice new tile floor. Now it's time to hang light-fixtures, install the receptacles and switches, wire-up the load-center and program the timer...
Lunch is late again, as usual, I go over to the Triple Rock Brewery and order a burger while Rich is getting more stuff form Lamer Electric, when he joins me he only orders a ice-tea because his stoma is messed-up again. 3 o'clock happens back on the job-site...
