today was our eighth anniversary. made it past the seven year itch. (just keep scratching it😜)
better half was on call for work, and i had to drive out to pick up my daughter at the airport, so we spent several hours apart.
was over a hundred degrees outside, so no point going anywhere not air conditioned in the middle of the day. we did manage to walk uptown in the evening for dinner. still nice to find stuff to talk about after this many years.
letting my daughter borrow my car for the weekend...i hope to see it again on monday.

this truck was at the legends show at point fermin. nice spot near the lighthouse. not sure why there weren't as many cars parked there, aside from not being out where the majority of people will pass by. this is nice near the tree, and without all the electrical wires that show from other viewpoints of the house.
i can't decide which i like best--this show or chicano park--both get a crap ton of cars and are fun to make a weekend getaway. point fermin is literally on a cliffside by the ocean in san pedro, so some years it stays cool and overcast in the morning and through the day, gets a good breeze.
chicano park is good for a roadtrip or train ride weekend.

getting up early for the dia de los muertos show down the street in uptown. it's grown quite a bit since the first year, with maybe ten cars and a short row of vendor booths. now it's an equal part full on car show and art show with some vendors in between, all decorated with skulls and shrines for the celebration.
out early and mostly done by ten, when it heats up, people start showing up and the show officially starts.
