 Another night with a deflating air mattress.😠😠😠😠

I worked on the wiring, putting an outlet near the toilet, running the power from the junction box on the south side to a junction box on the north that will provide power for the new tankless hot water heater.

Dug a little more dirt out from the cast iron piping.

Had a meeting with the ADU designer, Ema, and will get the proposal prior to a meeting on Monday.

Went to Izakaya Japanese restaurant for dinner.

Monday, May 2, 2022 - Woodstock to San Diego

 Carmen, Nana and I left the house at 9:00 on a drizzly morning and got to the airport at 11:00. Our flight to Chicago and our flight to San Diego both left a little early and arrived about half an hour early. I used my United points to fly first class and Nana bought a first class ticket to fly with me. We were able to use the United lounge in Chicago for about two hours which was nice, having lunch with the free snacks and drinks. Anna met us at the airport a little after 7 and took us to Amy's house. She then went back to get the air mattress for me and came back with Mason. Penny was very excited to see me but was quite apprehensive about Nana but eventually warmed up to her - very strange she wasn't friendy Amy made a nice spread for dinner with lots of tasty snacks. Nana slept in Amy's room, Amy slept on an air mattress in her office and I slept on Anna's double air mattress in La Casita.

My air mattress deflated completely overnight. I aired it up at 4:30 (fortunately, it has a quick electric pump) but at 6am, I got up. Amy's air mattress also deflated - not a good night for sleeping on air mattresses. I went over to the 7-11 to get coffee for Nana and me as Amy only has an expresso machine. The foundation guys, Domingo, Rodrigo and Fahway arrived around 7am. Penny was very excited with all the noise. Brendon from John Padilla plumbing came over around 9 to talk about installing the tankless hot water heater and what was needed to do the cast iron replacement. Assuming I get it installed, the hot water heater will have the gas connected next Monday. The foundation work in the crawlspace should be done on Tuesday so the cast iron replacement will start on Wednesday. Nana and I walked by Anna's house but didn't go in as she was working with clients. We walked up Cherokee Ave to the Rite Aid and Vons, then to the ice cream shop that was closed on Monday and Tu

Amy had made a brunch reservation for us at The Rabbit Hole. Eric met us here for our 11am reservation. We had a very pleasant lunch in the patio in the back. After lunch and a break, we went to Balboa Park for the organ concert. Amy was going to drop us off but the police had the road barricaded a short distance before the organ pavilion. The park was being locked down due to the protests about the Supreme Court leaked draft about overturning Roe vs Wade. Amy parked and came up with Penny just as the concert was starting. It started again with the Ukrainian national anthem - very moving. After the concert we went over to the Botanical building but it was closed for renovation. It is hard to imagine moving out all the plants moved out, some of which are large tree. As we were walking to the car, the protest was in the main plaza. Lots of people chanting with signs. We eventually got to the car but the traffic was so backed up that we sat on the grass for about half an hour before tryin
