Thursday, June 24, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Very windy today.

Due to the wind, it's pretty clear.

Can see Catalina Island clearly.

Palos Verdes peninsula juts out and blocks just the south end of Catalina.

Near home. in the La Ballona bike path, they were using a bucket truck to trim the trees along the bike path...

 

Swedish Camp Stove -- Gas line adaptor...

Went to the local Ace Hardware store to look for something that might work in adapting the connection from the Swedish camp stove gas line.

Didn't find exactly what I need.

Checked online too and didn't find it either.

Doesn't seem to be readily available...

There's a couple of fittings at the hardware store that could be used to jury-rig something...

The metric LH threaded fitting from the camp stove is close enough to fit an 1/8" NPT coupling...

Looks like they started Junior Lifeguards again.

The canopy says Junior Lifeguards on it...

 

Saturday, June 19, 2021 -- Tokyo Central

Went to get some seasoned nori (Korean style) but they were all out of their brand due to a sale, so got a couple of packages of another brand I've not tried before.

Also stopped at the bakery in the food court inside to get some pastries for desert...

Saturday, June 19, 2021 -- Torrance Farmer's Market

When the kids were very small, Dave started this farmer's market stand.  Dave  & his wife would make galbi and sell kimchi.

We used to buy the galbi & have it as part of dinner.

I haven't seen them in probably 10+ years...

Bought some carrots for salad...

 

Pampas Brazilian Grille

Only about a mile from the house.

Hadn't been in over 1.5 years.

They actually expanded by taking over the space next door (used to be a Japanese restaurant) to more than double the inside seating area.

They also doubled the outdoor seating area.

Had to wear plastic gloves but they opened the self-serve line & had all the same choices as before COVID.

Sat outside to eat...
