Having dinner. I speak tomorrow at a workplace safety conference. The topic? “Anatomy of a Workplace Fatality.” Summary: Lock out if you want to live.

It was a nice drive today from Temecula to here, with a brief stop to visit my pal in Santa Clarita. This bloom in Lake Elsinore was causing pandemonium.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Today’s drive was exhausting. Driving the Sunchaser on SoCal freeways is nerve-wracking.

So I am having dinner at a nice place in Bakersfield that has the best pita bread I have ever eaten.

Kinja'd!!!

The meal looks good too.

Kinja'd!!!

Temecula was a success, and we are going to help them. There should be work there. I will continue to try and grow the relationship. Toby will be having a burger to celebrate with me. He is patient and has good manners at the restaurant.

Kinja'd!!!

I will have time to kill tomorrow before I speak, so I am going to relax in the morning, take Toby for a long walk and catch up on email. I have a fireplace in my room, so it may be a dog cuddle and movie watching night.

1o year old me would be disgusted by how boring I am . Rock n roll, Oppo. I’m tearing it up out here.

That food looks gosh-darn amazing. I have been cutting back so I don't get obese and die... I'm always starving now.

What are we looking at in the first few pics?

Every time I drive in CA I’m newly surprised by how wild it is down there. Glad you made it through without incident.

Ever get that “you don’t know me but you don’t like me” vibe there?

How exactly do you go about growing a relationship for work? Genuinely curious as to how  upper management handles these sort of deals.

Getting hurt on the job is bad. I’ve broken a toe (as a lifeguard) and fallen off a ladder (as a pool manager). The paperwork involved with getting hurt in a government job was unreal, and the best motivation imaginable to not do it again. There was weeks and weeks of paperwork. I was also mandated by the county’s risk management to do a ladder safety c lass after the fall , which turned out the be ironic because they also decreed that I was never to be allowed to touch a ladder again under any circumstances.

The fall of the ladder and resulting ambulance ride was also embarrassing because I knew all the firefighters and EMTs that responded. They came to my  facility all the time for people getting hurt and things going down, but I was usually the one calling them instead of being the patient.

The only part of this that looks boring is the stop and go traffic.

Driving the Sunchaser with happy well-mannered Doggo by your side, being of service and building a mutually beneficial relationship, good food, relaxing evening, sounds pretty great honestly. 10 year old you just didn’t know how to appreciate it.

Kudos to you (and Toby).
