Did a little night job at Monument Peak on Friday. It’s lovely out there!

I sat and listened to the surf. Didn’t really help but I need to take some time to count the blessings! (Photo from a few days ago)

Field work yesterday. In the distance, you can’t see the peak of Big Black Mountain in Ramona, CA. Years ago there was a fire lookout tower here, today there is a wireless relay site and a set of cameras.

PSPS… it’s not just how you call a cat, in this case it’s a Public Safety Power Shutoff… and, here we are… no power for the next few days, because there is a wind event predicted… #sdge #psps
