By lunchtime, the official CastroCam temperature was over 90 degrees and rising… not much work can be done so I made the escape to the shore
Apparently lots of people played hookie – the parking lot/street were more filled with cars than I had seen in recent memory – and by 7 PM when I left, it was still quite crowded…
The tides could not have been better. Low tide, although not all that low at +1.8 feet, was at 3:40 PM
Returning home to a cooler 72 degree neighborhood, things looked considerable different than they had on Thursday evening about the same time, business as usual.
Today is another one that if it were always this way I couldn’t afford to live here. This was taken before sunrise at 05:25 this morning:
It was a hot day yesterday – hit 95.9 here at cw5988 – and by the time the important EVPA meeting let out, the temperature was still hanging at 82 degrees outside the house and still over 90 inside. So what else to do? A bunch of people gathered on Castro Street in front of the Castro Theatre.
Someday I’ll figure out this picture alignment issue….
Long day . . . After breakfast, it was bike to the park for SFFrontRunners, but you have to be there early if you wanted a bike parking spot.
It was a big crowd, and many people are riding bikes because the roads are now closed on Saturdays, but sadly, the city can’t put more bike rack in until an environmental impact report is completed . . . that is about 2 years away from completion.
After the run, it was a rush to get to the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy to participate in the SF Muni TEP. It was a standing room only crowd (about 45 got stuck on their feet). The room will filled with a bunch of angry #35 and #37 line riders who are upset that the routes are being changed to either not go near them or to go down their street.
Here are a few friends that were at the GLAAD awards.
Levi’s won the GLAAD Award for best electronic ad — check this out:
This is the pile of “slats” as my good friend Jeffrey called them… that I started with this morning. Tapping them on was easy. I was left with a three inch (2.700 inches, to be exact) gap, so I had to manufacture a “key stave” to fill the final gap.
But then when I started to tighten a ratchet nylon strap around the perimeter, gaps developed in the bottom! So starting all over again, leaving a tad bit of space between the staves, the “new” key stave was only 1-1/8″,
I got this by the end of the day. . .
so tomorrow, after SF Front Runners and the Muni TEP, I’ll drill the holes for the spa jets which will be precisely located to best serve my spine, my calves and my ankles.. Hopefully, they will accommodate others, too.
Time for bed, another busy day tomorrow with the GLAD awards, thanks to my good friend Mark, who will have me eating beans for the next 8 weeks.
