At OIST I learnt about the symbiotic relationship between coral and algae. Neither organism can survive without the healthy presence of the other. I feel much more research should be done on the symbiotic relationship between man and his truck.
Arriving in San Francisco, I became sick. In sympathy my truck set up an accident that caused significant damage.
When I finally get the truck into a shop for repair, I start to feel much better.
I make an excursion to Point Reyes.
Emboldened by my trip to Point Reyes, I set off for a two day birdwatching adventure to the Sacramento and Colusa Wildlife Reserves. Wonderful weather, tons of birds but I forget to take my camera!
I am still remarkably feeble and my eye problem is clearly not fully fixed but the truck is in great health so I expect imminent recovery.

Get well soon!
at least your boat still floats.
Thanks Harry! More or less an invalid over the last couple of months. Never happened before! How is the boat cover? I would be very grateful if you could check that it is still firmly attached. Hope all goes well with you. Graduation coming up I suppose – always fun!
I checked yesterday. All good. That yellow tape is not a permanent solution though.
Thanks Harry! Tape was an experiment that failed before I had even finished sticking it on!
