Travel to Mom's

Yesterday afternoon I took BART to Castro Valley. When I got off the BART car I found the main compartment to my backpack was partly open. Apparently, the zippers slipped open when I picked it up because no one said anything before that and nothing appears to be missing. I had placed both zippers at the top. They opened because the backpack was stuffed full and heavy.

I was picked up by my son-in-law, Greg, and my 2 grandsons, Quentin and Kyle. We went to a playfield for Quentin's soccer practice. At 6 years old the boys spent a lot of the time acting silly, but they all went through the drills and were quite enthusiastic in the practice scrimmage.

This morning I swallowed the last of the 4 typhoid vaccine caps. No negative reactions. I feel fortunate. The only meds I have left from Kaiser are the malaria pills and some pill for diarrhea

Greg went to work early. My daughter, Claire, made breakfast and left at 8 to take the boys to school and daycare before going to her work.

I moved my motorcycle from the backyard storage to the driveway this morning, pumped up the tires, loaded the 3 cases and took off about 9am. The ride down I5, and I405 through LA was uneventful and fast, and very warm, til I got near the ocean in LA and south of LA. Gas prices are rising again. I filled up near Buttonwillow. The pump price was $3.09, but the sign price changed to $3.13 as I pulled away from the pump. I arrived at Mom's, in San Marcos, about 5:40. I made 5 stops, 3 for gas and 2 to eat and stretch my legs.
