Well this weekend was pretty darn good if I don’t say so myself. I got a call from my Buddy Eric and we went out to the Folsom Lake and took some pictures. When I have some time I will post the pics up on the blog. (Thank you for the help on showing me how to spruce up my blog E!) The lake was extremely low and we found all sorts of stuff out there it was great. We found some palm tree stumps in the middle of the lake, (that’s right I said middle of the lake that’s how dry it was), ok maybe not the middle of the lake exactly but at least a quarter mile in from where the shore is normally. We also found rows of tree stumps that looked as if there was an orchard out there. We also came across the foundation of what was either a home or stable of some sort. We also found some really old bottles and propped them up and got some interesting shots with them. I did some online research to see if I could find out more information and I found that there was indeed an orchard where we were and there was also a winery in the area too. Kind of cool when you think about how long that stuff was underwater only to be revealed to the light of day. In fact from what I could find out, the last time that stuff saw the light of day was around 1971 I believe. All in all it was great day. Lately I have been pulling away from people so it was great to actually spend some time with a friend, especially an old one that I haven’t spent much time with lately.
The next day I left town with one of my supervising attorneys to go to Reno and meet with some potential clients in Reno on Monday. It was a great experience for me and I had a great time. When we first got into Reno we ate at this incredible Italian restaurant called “Pietro's Famiglia Ristorante Italiano” in Sparks NV. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the atmosphere was great. It is one of those little hole in the wall restaurants that could never be duplicated at a large scale.
I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on one of the projects I am working on but next month I have to follow up on all of it all over again, but the bulk of the writing has been done so hopefully it will be easier.
Well I better get going time for school

it was fun wasnt it? well go out again sometime soon.
Yes it sure was, next time I definately want to bring a tripod though. I need to get a smaller tripod or a way to transport the one I have, I was lazy and didn't want to transport it and I ended up paying a little for that I think. My legs stopped hurting halfway through the week. Next time should also bring the girls.
