Fixing the car

The window actuator on the Nissan went out on me. I ordered a new one online. It was $75 dollars.
I pulled up a video on youtYou, and it stepped me through the process. I had it done in about an hour. It's good to have the guts, and skills to try fixing things yourself.

Hike in Descanso

I wanted to scout some territory on the back side of Cuyamaca peak. The high is pretty brutal. About 1,500 feet of elevation climb, and it is very inclined. Lots of rocks.
I was worried about doing the hike alone, so I took my good buddy Bob with me. He is always up for a challenge.
We started off at about 6:30, and back to the truck at 9:40am. We then drove to Pine Valley, where we drove off road for a few miles scouting more places to hunt. There is a great little 50's style cafe in that Mountain town where we had breakfast/ lunch, then we drove home. Heck of a day.
The pictures don't do it justice, it was very steep.

Deep Sea fishing

Went Deep Sea fishing off the coast of Mexico. The Sales and marketing dept. put together this trip for our customers, and a hand full of employees. we departed San Diego about 10pm, got the the fishing grounds off Mexico about 5:30 am, fished until 1pm, and got back about 8:30pm.
The crew set up 5 poles across the stern, and fisherman 1-5 man those poles until we get a strike, (sometimes multiple fish on at a time) the Captain will bring the boat to a stop,the rest of the fisherman cast out their lines to try to catch something from the school we just hit, this went on as all 27 fisherman rotated their way through the task of trolling.
I caught 2 while trolling, and 1 casting off the side. the fish were all Tuna ( yellow fin, and skip jack for me) there was also a couple Dorado, and a Bonita caught.
Our customers are from the HVAC industry. We all had a great time.


Here we are coming back in at sunset
