Ok, the picture on the left, that is not how I eat today. The picture below, that was me last year, but today, I have lost 18 lbs in the last 4 weeks. Will continue on the nutrisystem diet and likely will exceed my goal of loosing at least 30 lbs by end of year. When am ready will post a picture of the “new” slimmer me.

Tomorrow I will head south to San Diego for Thanksgiving. I have picked the locations along the way to hang out. 1st, just north of Ventura, on the coast at a state park for 1 or 2 days. Then heading to Desert Palm near Palm Springs. Hopefully I’ll be able to stay there for  3 or 4 days. If not, will find a place in Palm Spring. The place in Desert Palm is called Sam’s Family Spa and it is a very busy place this time of the year. People make reservations there years in advance and keep coming back year after year. The last time I camped there was 1978. It is a great place to hangout. Then to San Diego one place is near Encinitas by the beach, near bro John’s place, be there for a week or so; and the other place is on Mission Bay. Will stay in San Diego for about 4 or 5 weeks, or maybe longer. San Diego is great for 2 of my favorite activities, walks on the beach and great cycling.

Have been practicing the motorcycle skill test, it is getting easier. The secret is speed, I was going too slow,  and discovered that it is easier with a little more speed to balance correctly through the maneuvers. Will keep practicing.
