California Here We Come!

Posted by: juslivn, 4:14 AM GMT on August 15, 2012

Hi all! So, less than two weeks until our California Trip!
And of course I'm California Dreamin!
For me, I pretty much have to 'endure' the meetings and conference and biz...for a few days, and THEN--
THEN--
Dream Trippin Cali!

Plan is to take a fast car up to Sequoia National Park after business meetings in Anaheim. (I don't want to go to Disney. I want to see the Sequoias :)
We'll stay in a rustic lodge in the park...and visit the Giant Sequoia Monument area.

Tree House by MojaveDesertRat

Can I just fall over here! What an amazing photo! Just can't believe this will be a dream for me come true cause this girl from the Mid-west just didn't get too many places quite yet. If just to touch the bark and feel that earthy root. Wow.

Then after the Sequoia NP, we trickle over heading ever toward the water (you know me!) Westward, to Cambria by the sea :)
oh-- in between-- Hubby has a few vineyard stops :) well planned.
We slide down the pacific coast, along the highway 1 and 101? I guess in the brief time we have, we will see so much along the way. Just in time to make it back to LA to dance into the wee hours before taking back off to reality.

Simply-- Carpe Diem Cali! (We don't have many days, but we will take them to the limit!)

So, help me play some Traveling Tunes and please post your favorite pictures captured for this California Dreaming blog!
C'mon, you know the ones!
Play some of the forgotten fun California tunes or your memory song from Cali.
You know I love it when you do that!

Oh I didn't know about Scott McKenzie, as a girl I loved this song and got such a kick when we got to SF a couple of years ago! Like when we went to Liverpool first time I had to go over the Mersey river on the ferry because of Gerry and the Pacemakers hit Ferry cross the Mersey, Sandi will remember that one I'm sure!!! Sorry to hear you have had some health issues but it sounds as if you are getting to grips with it, yes thank you my flu is going! Lost again at the dog show, beaten by my major opposition, don't mind losing to a better dog but when everybody outside the ring says "you were robbed" its a little frustrating. My girl got beaten by my friends pup but as I bred her father I am not dissappointed with that thats why we breed to improve! I understand the cleaning thing even if we are leaving in the middle of the night everything has to be clean and in its place ready for when we come back. In case I don't get back to the blog, safe journey and I hope you have a fabulous trip! Member Since: November 25, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 396

Well, it was a very, very long day involving WG. And, her humerous. She wrecked it again Wake boarding... I am thinking it is muscular, and not the bone this time. Long story. But it involves falling at 19 mph and her arm falling through the tow rope and being dragged...until it BROKE! The rope I mean! Uhm that's like unheard of! everyone's nightmare to get caught in the rope. Well the little thing broke and she was saved. Well, I hope it works out ok. But, we ended up having just the best day together in spite of the injury. And, it was a day I'll cherish w/ my kids forever. Her brother came to her rescue and so did I. W just all hung out making sure she was ok and tomorrow we have to do the caT scans, etc...We are...what we are. We live with a dare devil! I have since she was born. Need to really catch up on Isaac. Basically, my schedule has now made me on vacation. I can catch up on storms and watch during the day until I get to the Sequoias about a week or so from now. Night all ships at sea or in port or where ever you may be. Stay safe. Trains are going to bed and so am I. :) Stay away Isaac. Stay away train...

Wow, and it was going sooo well on the main. Actually could read up until now and it was fairly educating, civil all day. Then it just went to pot! Must be people getting a little tired and crabby. Update on Mom: She is still here in Illinois and not in Delray Beach, (Palm Beach County/SE Coast of FL) I am so glad about that. Worried for all our other friends though. Gams, Ogal, Finn, etc... Plus, my elderly Aunt in Coral Gables. But she's lived there since 1956 so she doesn't worry, just me. lol So, Isaac is quite interesting. You know I've watched hurricane history for a long time, since I was a kid, but not formally or scientifically or as long as most of you. So, generally I don't comment on Hurricanes much because I don't know enough. However, I don't like Isaac's size. He's so big and even if he stays a TS, he's just going to cause trouble for Haiti and many, many other areas with rain and flooding. Don't like his size. Watching how that core comes together, too, tonight. Fascinating. Just fascinating and really quite beautiful. Anyone know how the Ships model is on intensity as far as accuracy percentage? Ships has it pretty strong. But it will do what it will do. Why does it remind me of Debby? Ok I digress... I have it a bit west of the track now, but that's seriously a guess. Still FL though and a TS. Just my hunch. hey, least I buried the hunch in a bunch o rambling text...no science and I know it....just hunch. Update on Dau's arm: It was a sprained elbow. 19mph yank off the boat did NOT re-break the humorous! Yay. Doctor took the first x-ray of the humorous since last year's complete snap. It healed so nicely! A little bit ugly cosmetically, but gorgeous to an orthopedic! textbook. Heard more stories about Mad city hospital interns being involved in the setting of that bone. They were paraded in. Dau was a textbook intern study for a snapped humerous (sp? W/e). So, yesterday when she got hurt, she almost passed out in the water cause she freaked and thought she snapped the bone again. She held it together so she wouldn't drown and re-assessed while the boat turned around. Her boyfriend got in the water and treaded water to lift her straight up onto the boat. (whata guy!) She really had to hold it together to assess the damage. I work right across the street from the lake so, I went. Picked her up and we were off to the doc within an hour. A doctor visit is good. Usually it's an ambulance ride or ER for dau. Anyway, she did good. She's been working out all summer. Running 3 to 5 miles a day. Working abs. Working the arms for strength to do the tricks on the wake board. It paid off to help that arm be strong. She'll do physical therapy to heal the sprain in the elbow. They ARE treating it as a serious injury. But you can tell the mood is upbeat and not critical. Yay. Ok ramble scramble...and now back to Isaac lurking. Night all ships and be safe my peeps on the bays! Gotta play footloose because Isaac is basically footloose tonight. Peace out! a href="" target="_blank">Link Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Wow oh I just hate the GFS tonight. Just not pretty and go away GFS. Ugly ugly. Hmmm Wow. Footloose was a good tune for Isaac at the bottom of the last post. :-0 Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Oh, my goodness... that daughter of yours needs wrapping in cotton wool to save your nerves! I am glad it was only a sprain, and not a break. You can now go on holiday and TRY to relax!!!! Have fun :) Member Since: October 29, 2005 Posts: 252 Comments: 22398

Sandi, she's all good. She can't sit. She's got to move...and go go go. She was driving her jeep and the stick shift today. I think she's got shifting with her left down? Not sure I want to know how she does it. Not packed yet for California. And work was insane today. Will just barely escape out of town Sat. morning and run as fast as we can. Can't decide if I'm taking my laptop. It's older and really heavy. Hubby has one but all my hurricane links and weather links are here. He has conference stuff until basically Wednesday. So will be on my own to hang at the pool or such until we take off for the trip to the Sequoias and Cambria, etc...Or maybe I'll figure out how to get to the beaches. I'm not a big beach person. I'd rather be fishing or something. We'll see. Have watched as much as I could to keep up on Isaac and am still going to hang on the main until I crash. Stay safe all ships, have a great day tomorrow. Add: WG :) Happy, healthy and livin it! img src=""> <>a href="" target="_blank">Link Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

I'll post pics tomorrow and will be watching Isaac and anything else which may happen through the week. Son already has the dogs here for house sitting and they are making things chaotic, too.

In socal today. Kind of unnerving being at newport beach w all those quakes south. Think I felt one or two, but I was holding onto a metal raillooking at the boats when I did feel it them. Well, it's pretty much a floating island (balboa) anyway so not sure if I cld feel anything of a quake. Made me nervous knowing 80 plus quakes to our south. I really enjoyed the beaches and restaurants and people today, regardless. Beautiful! Pics soon. Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Hi Bogon! Fancy meeting you here. Well, no earth shakes to speak of close by today over 2.5 (?) Figures I'd go to California for the first time in 20 years for me and there'd be a 'swarm' of 300 earthquakes---OOOPS oh dang, I jus jinxed it didn't I! :( Nice tune Bogon. Catching up on Isaac and really just have caught warnings from twitter from WU and NHC etc...but noticed the water vapor loop. Did he split in two? East of FL? Maybe that was old and he was just getting bigger. These, and other questions answered in 5, 4, 3, 2 1 blast off into the main...I'm goin in, wish me luck! Thanks for stoppin bogon. Maybe I'd better get another one of these...maybe. "> Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

71. SBKaren 2:12 AM GMT on August 28, 2012
justlivn, I wish I'd known sooner that you were coming to California! I posted something on FB about all the quakes and someone told me you were here and felt some! If you were on docks, I doubt you felt quakes, but more just the movement of the water. Sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned! Hope you are enjoying the weather, although for me, it's a bit too hot. If you get a chance to come to Seal Beach - I can recommend some good restaurants and you can walk on our wooden pier!

Here's something for you to ponder - a comparison of the US Drought Monitor together with projected rainfall from Isaac. He's been bad news at the coast, but might bring you some good news! Member Since: October 4, 2004 Posts: 195 Comments: 14793

Oh, I hope you have looked up at a Sequoia and felt like you are one with the Universe. Been thinking of you all week. Was gonna post the 5-day precip forecast for Isaac but I see shore linked it. Lots of rain for AR, MO, IL and onward. I saw a piece of him tonight. A thin and broken gray cloud curving out of the NE and back into the SE sky. Then the Moon came out and the cloud disappeared. That's all for here - a cloud sighting. Enjoy your days in California! Member Since: October 9, 2005 Posts: 13 Comments: 495

Hi all! Hope everyone is well and those hit by Isaac are recovering. Thank you for the wishes and for stopping in. New blog shortly. I still need to sort through all the pics and get them posted on WUphotos before it's too late. Then, I'll come back and do a slide show or something. Went back to work today (oh like they all left me alone on vacation? NOT!) Yesterday it was laundry and basic recovery time. Today, work craziness! But we had a trip of a lifetime!It was just amazingly cooool. Ok here's a brief vid with foreplay (heh heh) No, really the song on the radio in the background is Foreplay. Bit of a teaser until I get the slideshow done. Ttfn! P.S. Ylee, I'll try to put the photos so you can see them.

Uhm Hmmmm, and what do we have here? This storm obviously does not want me to work on photos because it has been ominously causin trouble just over da border in Sconsin. One tornado warning I saw earlier and now a watch and several warnings for Counties just above mine (Walworth, Kenosha) and it may clip me, too. Not liking the bow action for heading over the lake.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1885 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0830 PM CDT TUE SEP 04 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL/E-CNTRL WI...NERN IA...FAR WRN UP OF MI...FAR NRN IL CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 614... VALID 050130Z - 050230Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 614 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...LOCAL EXTENSION OF THE WW WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED AS TSTM ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO PROGRESS EWD AND MOVES OUT OF THE CURRENT WATCH AREA. TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO BEFORE BEGINNING A WEAKENING TREND. DISCUSSION...TSTM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE WATCH AREA HAS EVOLVED INTO THREE SEPARATE LINE SEGMENTS. THE FIRST IS MOVING EWD ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AND ONTO THE WRN COAST OF MICHIGAN/S UPPER PENINSULA. THIS ACTIVITY HAS SHOWN SOME INTENSIFICATION DURING THE PAST HOUR BUT A DIMINISHING TREND IS ANTICIPATED AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO COOL. THE SECOND IS ACROSS CNTRL WI AND HAS EXHIBITED AN INCREASE IN FORWARD-PROPAGATION DURING THE LAST HOUR. LATEST KGRB RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS THE OUTFLOW IS BEGINNING TO PUSH AHEAD OF THE LINE AND A WEAKENING TREND IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT HOUR WITH THIS LINE OF STORMS AS WELL. THE THIRD IS MOVING SWD ACROSS SRN WI INTO FAR NWRN IA AND POSSIBLY NRN IL. THIS SEGMENT EVOLVED FROM A CLUSTER OF SUPERCELLS AROUND AND SE OF LSE AND THE ARX VAD WIND PROFILE SHOWS A DECENT REAR INFLOW JET SIGNATURE. THIS SIGNATURE HAS BEEN GRADUALLY WEAKENING AS THE LINE MOVES FARTHER S. THE MATURE NATURE OF THIS LINE MAY ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE FOR LONGER THAN THE OTHER TWO LINES PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...BUT IT TOO WILL ENCOUNTER AN INCREASINGLY MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS/DECOUPLES. THE ERN PORTION OF THE LINE /NEARING MKE/...HAS RECENTLY ACCELERATED EWD AS THE OUTFLOW PUSHES SEWD. THIS SEEMS TO SIGNAL THAT THIS PORTION OF THE STORM WILL BEGIN WEAKENING SHORTLY BUT IT MAY REMAIN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A FEW SVR GUSTS IN NRN IL. A DOWNSTREAM WW MAY BE NEED ACROSS THIS AREA.

Jus,I've found time to get in here and welcome you back. I love the pics from the great redwoods,I find those trees just amazing in the size.Humans look like ants standing next to them. Hope your ready for the feel of fall this coming week, pretty chilly air will be descending on the northern states,and also diving south. Thankfully we will miss Leslie this weekend,although it looks like Bermuda may take a pounding. Anyway Glad to have you back safe and sound,it really sounds like you had a great trip.

Watches and warnings all south. Hmmm. Ok here's a really quick slide show which needs editing. And, it is not all the pics yet. Turn on your speakers and play the two tunes below while you watch the show. You can stop the slides with the arrows when you hover over.
