Early in morning I
wake again here in Riverside, with the sound of the train going by in
the distance. Love the low thundering sound as it approaches, then
the horn for long and short blasts, I understand how people can miss
that sound. Has been a nice place to stay here at Rancho Jurupa Park,
it is a Riverside County park, which I didn’t know when looking for
a place close to LA to stay, without venturing right into the city.
This has made a good stop to get organized, get a phone, and get
online again, get things in order inside trailer, and truck, then
yesterday Polly Bosco and I walked around the park, saw some of what
there was to do here. The pond is close, and has ducks, and diving
birds like, loons, as well as big white birds like herons. There were
many people fishing, and some were catching small trout, Power bait
was the ticket we were told. One trout we saw caught by one of the
diving birds caused much squawking and fighting as the others all
wanted the fish, but the bird who caught it managed to eat it on the
fly. The grounds are wet and mushy as you walk around as water still
draining through the grass from the rains, and duck crap everywhere.
Polly got some in her flip flop, that was cause for some concern till
she cleaned it off. We sat on a beanch not to far from all the
fishermen, and one fisherwoman, and watched. First to catch one we
saw was the woman. Polly was all about “Of course the woman gets
the fish!”. People clap, and Polly is laughing. After awhile Bosco
saw a dog that was chasing a ball off leash and started to bark, we
couldn’t quiet him so had to leave, was kinda odd, but he was on
leash, and wanted off? Not sure.
We went back for the
trailer and waited for Patty and Falavio to arrive from the city, we
were ti visit, been awile since we had seen them. They were later
than expected, as company the night before, so Polly and I played
crib, she beat me 3 times in a row, then she let me win one, and I
quit at that as was to have a nap. Nap turned into truck cleaout as
box had oil in it from an oil container spill, so gave the oil to the
neighbour, as he ad diesel truck, and I didn’t want it. He was
happy.
Train again, nice.
Patty and |Flavio
came around 2pm and we had a real good visit, lots to catch up on.
Flavio had a nap he was beat. I understand, but still had to take a
picture of him. We yakked the afternoon away, then they took us for
dinner to The Sire, a local bar/pub that was recommended to us by
Linda a friend who saw a post on Facebook that we were in Riverside,
said best taco she ever had. Turned out that was only on Wednesday
nights. We did have good dinners, and more talk, saw many of Flavios
pictures of Brzil, he liked the idea of buying land there, a small
resort he would make it into, but Patty was not going for that. Was a
good evening, Flavio drove, he has a new car a Chevy Volt, we learned
some about the car, and about electric vehicles in general.
Next time we come to
LA Flavio says to me stay closer, on the beach, Huntington has a nice
place to stay. Have to get that info from him next time before we
come, and try to get a little closer to them, or maybe just come back
here, was a nice stay. Today we leave for Eastern California, and
Arizona area. Will be nice to travel again.
Bosco gets up and
wants some loving now, funny how dogs want to be close. Got to love
em.
He will be back in
bed in a minute, as I’m done here.
Lovin life...
