Bring it on home......

7:27 am - Monday - July 29th - Ramona, CA - 60° F, 86% humidity, wind - CALM......clear, blue skies this morning with a forecast high of 93° F. 

There are six 'skimmers' in all that I clean every single work day....one for the Jacuzzi, and 5 around the pool.  These skimmers pick up all manner of vegetable material, 100's of insects, some quite large, cellophane wrappers, sometimes small pool toys.  Below is just one day's bounty.......

.....note the very large bug in the lower part of the skimming net....it was as big as my thumb!

I was done vacuuming and sweeping the pool, and with my other pool chores just before 9 am, as I usually am, so headed down to the office for our morning meeting.   Sunday was July 28th, which is meter reading day....electrical meters that is.  I was surprised after checking our meter that our kilowatt consumption was not greater than it was considering we ran our A/C a lot since June 28th.......

....we began the month at 15,214.  Since we have been recharging the golf cart each night off our site power we will get a 5 kilowatt credit each day, or 75 kilowatts this month since the site next to us where I usually plug in the cart has been occupied since the 16th.  I finished reading all the meters of our monthly customers a little after 11 am, and by 11:30 am it was time for lunch, and the end of my short Sunday shift.

TLE was home a little after 2 pm, and by 3 pm we were driving into town to check out 'Mariscos Mar de Cortez' which had been recommended to us by several people as the best Mexican seafood restaurant in the area.  Before we ordered food I placed my order for a 24 oz. Negra Modelo.....TLE had iced tea.  Haven't had one of these big draft brews in a long time.....

....for our early dinner I ordered their 'Camarones Costa Azul' (shrimp wrapped in bacon, and then fried) combo plate......OMG!  It is rare that an entree will exceed the expectation created by the written description, but this one did by a mile.  I ordered it based on the description, and was blown away.  I cherished every single bacon wrapped shrimp on that plate......

.....TLE ordered their shrimp cocktail, and loved it right down to the very last bite.  Yelp, TripAdvisor, and all of the other rating services give them from 4 to 4.5 stars on hundreds of reviews.....we would be right at 4 stars.  Thank you Adrian and Caroline for the great recommendation!  We were home by 4:15 pm, with full bellies, and big smiles upon our collective faces.

We ran the A/C until after 7 pm, but finally the temp outside dropped enough that we dropped our screen door, and went outside to enjoy the evening air......

.....we sat outside reading and listening to music until almost 9:30 pm.  As the light faded our outdoor living area took on this very mello vibe, and the Sam Cooke songs kept on coming!
