Not much sun for a Sunday

Well, to be fair, the sun was shining until I tried to walk. Then the rain took over. I had to abort my morning hike at 5K and catch a trike home (heh, any excuse will do, right?). Shortly after arriving, it was sunny again. Stayed that way until I headed into town sans umbrella. I didn’t want to spend my evening dripping wet, so I popped into BarCelona, the first open establishment I came to (it was still a few minutes before 4:00) to wait out the storm.

It’s hard to capture rain in a photo, but the wetness “shines” through. You can barely see the Kalaklan ridge off in the distance because of the rain.
The rooftop deck was not a popular place to sit during the storm.

The rain eventually let up, and I continued my crosstown journey to Hideaway bar. I made a stop at Chooks to Go and picked up two roasted chickens.

The picture I took of the actual chicken was too blurry to be usable. Oh well.

Joy loved the cornbread muffins the best. She’s usually quite generous with her co-workers, but she kept three of the six muffins I brought for herself.

The look of love. She ate all three while I was still there.

The chicken and brownies were popular with the other girls too. That’s what it’s all about.

After feeding the crew, I went across the highway to John’s place to feed myself. Sat up in the third-floor bar area.

Where I enjoyed this view while waiting for my meal to be prepared.
I did the Philly cheesesteak, and it was scrumptious.

After my dinner, I popped into Cheap Charlies and enjoyed Roseanne and Alma’s company while imbibing some alcoholic beverages.

Well, I do appreciate a good view while I’m drinking.

Finished my evening out with a beer at Snackbar. One of the waitresses was celebrating her birthday, so she got a drink too. The person I had come to see wasn’t there even though she had invited me. That put me in a foul mood, but lesson learned.

But the sun came out this morning, and I had a pleasant dog walk.

There were water droplets on the pine needles reflecting the light from the rising sun. Naturally, I wasn’t skilled enough to capture that magical moment.
An excellent way to start the day. Let’s hope the weather holds into the afternoon.

Made myself a burrito for breakfast.

I’m getting better at that tortilla searing.

And now, it is time to prepare for another Hash Monday. Leech My Nuggets is the Hare, so I expect a challenging trail. We finish up on Baloy Beach at the Viking Resort. I’ll post the ups and downs and slips and slides tomorrow.

Yes, except I’ll be taking pictures as my excuse!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Burrito looks good! You’re definitely improving. Are you frying the burrito without any oil, or are you using something like butter, vegetable oil, or mayonnaise?
