More of the same old, same old around here. Hiking group, darts, dinner at Mango’s, then home to bed. This weekend though, I’ll be changing it up. The FRA (Fleet Reserve Association) is having its annual Fralics event in San Antonio. Today there is a chili cooking competition and tomorrow is a beauty pageant. It’s being held in San Antonio, a town I always enjoy visiting. So, I’m looking forward to attending and having something new to blog about. Yay!
A small group for yesterday’s hike. I led the first half, taking us up the mountain on the My Bitch trail. Almoranus took over and led us back down to the valley and around San Isidro, then back to Alta Vista. Only about 6K, but pleasant.
You can Relive the hike here if you so choose:
After the hike, plenty of time to rest up and clean up before I headed out for the Friday night dart tourney at Alley Cats. Mediocre performance in the early going, but I got better as the night went on. The highlight was beating Beth, who had put me in the loser’s bracket, in a tightly contested, well-thrown game.
Had dinner with Julie after the tournament. We are still just friends, but she had requested to meet up in order to repay some money I had loaned her. And in so doing she has the honor of being the ONLY Filipina who has ever repaid a “loan” from me. Congrats and thank you!
Alright, time to get ready for my San Antonio adventure!
Not sure if it is your new phone, a filter you are using, or just the particular lighting, but the landscape pictures seem a bit more “vivid”. Not sure that vivid is the word I am looking for, but they seem almost like a painting.
Dont mean that in a bad way – they look great. Just for some reason, they have a different look and vibe to them.
Brian, the primary motiviation for getting the new phone was having a better camera. I’m not intentionally using any filters but I’m still learning the different features available. I’m really just a “point and click” type photographer. Anyway, you are not the first to mention the change in quality of the photos I post, for the most part positive.
