The February weather continued its rainy tendency last weekend; so I was forced to house hunt with the realtor some more. I think she may be ready to string me up for lack of enthusiasm, but these prices still seem obnoxious to me. We did find a nice place that I made an offer on. However, I don't think we'll be able to come to an agreement; so I'll continue looking.
The rain also drove me indoors to join a gym last weekend. I signed up with a 24 Hr Fitness in a local mall. It's very convenient to have clothing stores near the gym for when you pull an "Incredible Hulk" and the bulging muscles tear your shirt. My first visit to the gym was on a Saturday, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the place wasn't overcrowded. Sadly, when I returned on Monday evening, the gym was like a beehive. I had to clothesline a lady so I could beat her to the open elliptical trainer. These folks are serious about fitness. However, I have noticed that all of the people in this part of California are not beautiful and super fit. Unfortunately, some of these observations that were unintentionally made in the men's locker room may have caused mental scarring.
This weekend rolled around, and the weather forecast for the area looked pretty good. I was leaning toward visiting San Francisco for the first time, but a couple of people mentioned that it was supposed to rain there Saturday morning. I also failed to get up early as originally planned; so I decided to visit Mt. Diablo State Park instead. The first picture in the first blog posting is of Mt. Diablo, which is the highest point in this area (~3800 ft). I made it over to the park after lunch and saw some nice views from the peak. I hiked around a bit, and I was impressed by the number of bicyclists riding up and down the mountain.
Here are a few pictures from the park:
