A nice week off last week, the usual trip down to Oceanside. Good timing: the weather in the Central CA valley was in the 100’s, and the temps in Oceanside stayed around 70-75. Lots of relaxation; reading books on the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean beach. The usual surfing the ‘net (don’t do ocean surfing).

Oceanside is just outside the US Marine camp at Camp Pendleton. There is also a Navy base there. On Saturday, there was a “Navy Appreciation Day”. We were awakened at about 7am with a loud noise that sounded like an army of leaf blowers. It was a big Navy hovercraft that landed on the beach right next to the Oceanside Pier. Quite impressive (and loud).

But mostly a quiet time for relaxation. A bit of reflection on the events of the past year.

And a return to work, with some interesting remote computer forensics tasks and processes. But looking forward to a three-day weekend.
