Work Hard Play Hard

Hi KosNet Friends

 Well August theme was "work hard play hard".  Yes, I restarted working at Oracle. It is wonderful that everyone welcomes me. I really enjoy working there as a contractor. What is wonderful is that my schedule is so flexible. So, I worked Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and quickly went to Yosemite to enjoy hiking with my widow friend, just before fire kicked us out.  OK, which picture do I enjoy more? Well, actually I enjoy both. ....well, maybe more of Yosemite at 10,000 feet.

Camping trip

Hi KosNet Friends

 From August 1st to 4th, I went to my first camping trip after 25 years!! I still clearly remember my first camping trip with Kos to Big Sir. I have never slept in the tent, so I had to wake Kos up three times during the night to take me to restroom. I was afraid of moth!! So, this camping I went with my young friends. It was great!! I did not have to drive and they set up the tent for me. I went to REI to get nice sleeping pad, so no problem for sleeping.
This was abalone hunting camp and of course we enjoyed "all you can eat" abalone dinner every night!!  Sashimi, yubiki, deep fried, pizza, ....  Abalone was sooo big yet tender and so yammy. Yes, I enjoyed kayaking and also hiking. Stars were amazing. Did I see moth? Yes, unfortunately, but I did not scream. I guess I am growing...  Oh, I forgot to tell you one important thing. I got my first i-Phone!!  Yes, finally coming out of the cave to get my first smart phone. Fortunately, I have many young friends who are so good with tech-things, so got crash course. These are my first pictures taken on i-phone. Well, still not get used to take photo with phone... Now I will be back working, so good bye to summer for now.
