Fishing, Gaming, Legos, Oh My!

A great few days with Natalia as usual. Friday was Lego and game night. I made an impromptu "Lego" cake and played with the Lego castle (from my childhood) which took me 2 nights to complete. The castle was being attacked by Stormtroppers but it didn't fall. Later we cleared out the table and played two games from my haul this month. We played Loot N Run, which Natalia liked as well as My First Stone Age. Both great fun quick games that we both enjoyed. Also Blokus was back on the table ad I managed to win one game.

Saturday we woke up late and headed out to the Arrowbear fishing derby, Natalia practiced for hours her casting and we had a great time out there for hours. In the end she won a raffle prize, a Spider-Man fishing pole. As we headed back to the main area I noticed a few people lending a hand to person whom passed out. My corpsman skills were put to the test (not really). As I tend to run across this often. Turns out this person gave blood earlier and didn't hydrate or ate, just downed coffee and "energy" drinks, not a good combination. Soon paramedics were called to write it up.

Earth day was this week as with many made up days. I took this weekend as my weekend to plant a few items around the house and Have Natalia start a bunch of seeds in small containers. I do hope many come up as I don't have much luck.

Finished reading The Castle  in Transylvania and I rather enjoyed the book. A book published in 1889 which talked about electricity and communications via cable. Now I am back to another Kurt Vonnegut book in Timequake and thus far a good smooth read. On the gaming end this week a few games have hit my big game table. Been playing Suburbia and a fun game to layout and play when bored. Also been playing the new Captain America Legendary set and trying out the new cars and so far rather fun as always.

Natalia lately has been wanting to read to me more and more and Saturday night she read to me Green Eggs and Ham with no problems and emphasizing question and exclamation marks. I am so proud that in a short time she can read so effortlessly.

This past week was my second week as part of the Funeral Honors Guard and still getting into the rhythm and getting used to many of the basic military drills and procedures. I will say thus far I find this very honorable and good for me to be doing. I just hope my pay issues start to get worked out soon, but I know how lazy some are in doing their work.

Continuing To Honor The Uniform

This week was another week of change in my life as I am not doing the job I have been doing the past months as often and having to pick up the slack elsewhere and I started driving Uber and Lyft. I will say it is somewhat of a waste but I will experiment with it in hopes it puts spending cash in my hands for our toys. I laugh as they are doing major recruiting in the area and claiming you can make thousands. Nope. Thus far no bad experiences and everything is nice and smooth. 

Drill weekend don and I had to make the drive both days for medical and our PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment). Hope this one doesn't "get lost". No such thing as honor, courage and commitment by many sailors lately. More like, "I don't care", "Not responsible" or plain old, "I don't want to work". Again this month I see the retirement of two sailors from the unit whom served this country with honor for over 20 years as well as another corpsman I served with in the San Francisco area. I continue to serve and honor our country, uniform, job and tradition. With that being said I finally made the decision to joining the funeral honors detail and have been doing services all week after a quick Navy "left seat/right seat" training. Get the basics down but every service has its challenges and differences. This is something I like as I am able to adapt and have that skill. Also a way for me to still honor the job and inside I feel very good for what I am doing. I hope to very soon get all the aspects down as I hope to do this for years to come if possible.

Finished reading the Farmer Boy which is the third book in the Little House on the Prairie novels and thus far it is the least liked one for me. This week I received The Castle in Transylvania, which is a rare translation of a Jules Verne book and Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut and I have high hopes for both these books.

Another few days with Natalia last week and staying home as always with some rainy weather all weekend. Playing inside the house all day and having a great time together playing Legos mainly.

Sad Dad Bad Had

Another week gone and one of possible changes again. I can say with the ups and downs lately I have gotten more and more comfortable with the unknown, So Thursday I headed out with Yuli for a nice walk in my "front yard" or "back yard", I get them confused. Took some nice pictures and it was a nice quiet outing. A nice day after the snowstorms earlier this week , where much was melted off. Friday I picked up Natalia early and headed up early and started a much needed weekend with her.

Last week I didn't see Natalia and decided with so much time in my hands now, to go on a mountain bike ride on Easter Sunday and it was a very nice ride as usual with great company. Along the ride we had to ask ourselves and do a double take as we rode past one of the mega churches that looks more like a huge warehouse where there were 3 water tanks outside by tents offering baptisms. It simply amazes me that religion has come to this - "Baptism for number 078". Another thing to point our is the signs around Riverside and the railroad tracks telling people what actually goes on a railroad track and to stay away. First, seems people nowadays have no idea what the tracks are for and worse we are told to stay away, because you know, terrorism. Please!

Saturday the local library had Superhero day and we all went our and had a great time in the activities and later hit up some antique shops and thrift store in the mountain.

Finally finished two books this week. Time and Again, my main read that I had much hopes for was just rather boring. The other book that was a rather quick read was New Found Land, the journal of the Lewis and Clark expedition. This one I liked and learned much from it and now am interested in reading more. No idea what to read next but waiting for a few used books to arrive soon.

Not much gaming this week other than Thunderbirds where I finally got the hang of it and winning at the basic level. However I have been playing some video games with Natalia together and we have been having a great time getting through the Star Wars Disney Infinity game together.

 I start the week in the unknown and with possible changes right away. Also some rain expected, of course after I washed the car. Springs is also here with the many tulips in my home starting to make their way out and the daffodils around town already in bloom.
