Redding to Sunnyvale, CA

Since we have travel this route many times its difficult for us to describe interesting features. Quick and painless are the features we wish for and this time our wishes were granted.

We stopped at Costco in Vacaville, CA for gas and to stretch our legs with a walk around the store hoping the demo-dollies would be handing out tasty samples. Gas was $3.089 and samples were lacking in both quantity and quality.

As we approach Silicon Valley, we always wonder which will be the thickest --- traffic or smog. Luckily for us neither was unbearable this time.

The fan belt, make that serpentine belt, is starting to make noise. I’ll look into that when we reach San Diego. I carry a spare just in case it decides it doesn't want to make it to San Diego.

I’ve been doing simple chores around Toni’s house while She and Mary are running errands and doing a little shopping. Four knob sets installed on the hallway doors, clock repaired, and a new sprinkler controller installed.

Tonight, we are having a small dinner party here for a few friends. We are both looking forward to seeing these old friends.

Tomorrow morning, Friday, we head to Ventura for a night with Alice and Wayne. After that, we will spend a week in San Diego visiting friends, old college buddies, and going to the zoo, harbor, and Balboa Park.
