The old fridge ready to go.
The new one being delivered.
They took the old one for $15. I could try selling it on Craigslist to someone who would buy it and fix it, but it's just such a hassle I'd rather get rid of it this way.
I think this is the very first brand new appliance I've ever purchased. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but I didn't want to have to deal with a fridge dying after only 6 months like our last one, so I mainly wanted the 5-year warranty. Plus the French doors are kind of cool.
Already a problem; our water won't fit. Easy fix, though; just take out the top-right shelf.
Time for another bus ride to Monterey, This time it was on a Greyhound, though; I guess the local bus system contracts with them. There was also not a single other person on the bus.
So the driver and I talked the entire way. I learned a few things about the local area, which was nice.
Getting dropped off.
We ate at Mountain Mike's Pizza. We were hungry and ordered a lot, but we ordered way too much. Oh well, leftovers.
Guests of our neighbors parked in our driveway again.
One of them must have driven into this little cap, too, because it was broken.
Uh oh; our guest bed fell down. Easy fix with some new boards, and glad it was when we were testing it, not someone else.
Some goats and cows in town. Well, maybe in town? It's kind of at the edge, but there are apartment buildings between it and the actual edge of town. I think at one point it was on the edge and the city grew around it.
Volleyball tournament in Monterey.
Ultimate frisbee at a park there.
Some people picking up trash.

Pretty stained glass.
Funny sign.

Toothpick boat.
A farmer's market.
At the Port of San Francisco.
Me, Coit Tower, and a palm tree inside the Exploratorium logo.
A giant ship. Almost all the cruises you hear about are from the east coast. The ones on the west coast go primarily to Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii.
All kinds of bread a Boudin's.
Google Maps actually shows the location of the North Beach Festival; that's nice.
Even some more info on it.

A group of them were marines.
Diving.

Break time.
We brought some bread from Boudin's in San Francisco and I made chicken wings.
Although I missed this spot on my shoulder when putting on sunscreen.
This small herd of deer is always in the same spot along this road. Nearby is a herd of cattle, and while I usually don't see them intermingling, this cow decided to wander over.
Bad accident.
An event in Pokemon Go where there are more fire and ice Pokemon.
They were all over, including where you normally wouldn't see them.
A whole bunch of Sneasels.
Tons of Magicarp, although this is normal along the San Francisco wharf.
The event also had 3 times bonus XP for catching Pokemon and 5 times XP for hatching eggs, so walking around the San Francisco wharf, where there are simply a ton of Pokemon, got me all the way from level 35 to level 36 in just a single day. The San Francisco wharf is like a cheat code for this game.
Amazon is changing their storage plans.
Looks like I'm going to have to pay a bit more, although it's still fairly cheap.
You could play a browswer game of Cricket by clicking on Google's logo.
How can my name be invalid?
