Geeking out at the TWiT Cottage

I'm here in Petaluma visiting a longtime personal geek hero of mine, Leo Laporte. Sarah was kind enough to let me head down here for the day. It's episode 760 of The Tech Guy show. Here with another studio guest, Peter, from San Francisco.

What a glorious day! And productive, too.

Yesterday, I had only vague ideas about what I wanted to do today. At dinner, Sarah suggested we head over to Covey Ranch for a while and work on the place. I was a little dubious - not sure exactly what we were going to do. I also wanted to go by the Farmer's Market, mow the lawns, wash car, and a couple other things. I wasn't sure we'd fit it it all in. You know what they say about best laid plans...

Well, enter this morning. We took Emily to the doctor - she has "walking pneumonia" (sounds worse than it is) - went to Farmer's Market (bought some wonderful strawberries, lemon & rosemary bread, and some mandarin jam), went to the pharmacy for antibiotics, home to get the dogs and picnic supplies, over to Covey Ranch (spent 4 hours cleaning the carport and breezeway), back home where the girls helped me wash Mama's Pilot and my Mustang, and had a delicious dinner. We got everything accomplished that we set out to do (except mowing the lawn), plus we got laundry and dishes done.

Geez, what a wonderful day. Sarah and I worked great together, the sky was blue, the girls were in such a good mood - I really could not have asked for a better day!
