It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Truck had to stay in the shop last weekend after replacing the oil pickup tube resulted in needing a new o ring to re-seal the line that goes out to the oil cooler. Nothing crazy just inconvenient. It’s all sorted though oil pressure is still not where I’d like it to be. Think I need to clean the screen on the oil pressure sensor out, or the sensor needs to be replaced. It’s only two years old but it could be no good. That’ll have to be tabled for now.

Nali ran good down to Palm Springs yesterday. My great aunt is visiting from Vermont this week and beyond my Grammy who passed in 2019, aunt sally is the next relative Im closest with. Love her to pieces. We had originally booked my moms time shore resort in Palm Springs so I could stay here for stagecoach. Which is happening this week and I can’t go…. Sad day. Lol. Anyways when the venue owner made vaccines mandatory last year I got a refund. They lost so much money over that they had to pull the vaccine rule out. Coulda gone but oh well! Love spending time with my family! We took aunt sally to the living desert for one of the last nights of their “glow park” theme and it was rad!!

Palm canyon resort is a nice setup. Got bought out like 10 years ago by diamond resorts and now it’s owned by Hilton resorts. My mom has had ownership here since right before I was born. Many memories here in this pool setup.

And then my mom has a family friend that owned a very nice restaurant in big bear. We catered quite a few events for her over the years. She has since sold the big bear restaurant but at the beginning g of the pandemic started another one down in Palm desert as that was always her dream, on el paseo drive. Very nice place. We called and she said absolutely come see us for dinner tonight! So that’s where went tonight and she and her husband rolled out the red carpet for us. Dinner and dessert were just spectacular with amazing flavors!

Well y’all, I’m Tennessee bound to visit my recently relocated sister and her family. We took off about 25 minutes behind schedule from Ontario in socal this morning. But have plenty of time on our layover at Austin before going on to Nashville. I’m spending a week her and I have concert tickets as well to see granger smith. Gonna be a blast. Mom is staying two weeks! Trucks back home but that’s necessary. Will be driving a 2002 sierra extra cab that my bro in law bought in February from his great aunt who’s husband passed recently. It’s a base model but very well kept so we shall see how it is living that 5.3 life like most of you gents haha.

Weather in Austin is warm and a bit humid but pretty nice. Some turbulence headed here but nothing major. We shall see how the next hop goes from Austin to Nashville.

Made it safe yesterday evening about dinner time to Nashville. Sister, bro in law, and nephew picked us up from the airport. We picked up light dinner and snacks on the way to pick my nieces up from a theater group they're taking part in. Stayed up late visiting and catching up and talking family.

Got up today late and made chocolate chip banana pancakes with the kids. Took up a little bit of the FRIENDS themed monopoly I got my sister for her bday in February as her and I are big FRIENDS fans. Went for a little walk around the neighborhood they moved to and saw a couple surrounding ones. Everything is just beautiful out here!
