It was a busy weekend that involved wakeboarding, the Alameda County Fair, work, a farewell house party, running, a BBQ, and softball.
Regarding the Alameda County Fair, it doesn’t compare with the Puyallup. Thankfully we had free tickets. The pig-racing was entertaining, and the food was good, but it was a million degrees so we didn’t stay long.
Bryn’s boss was kind enough to take a small group wakeboarding on Friday. The red circle on the map shows where we went. Notice the lack of any discernible bodies of water within miles of our location.
The wakeboarding was awesome. We went up and down these narrow channels so there were plenty of uninterrupted straightaways and no other boats. I only get to go like once a year anymore so it was cool to get out and take some jumps.
The only thing was the water…disgusting. Brown and semi-salty. Mysterious floaters, dead fish and birds. Even though it was 100 degrees you didn’t really want to stay in any longer than your turn.
Definitely looking forward to the open lake back at home in a few weeks, where the water is see-through.

Swimming in fertilizer soup…run off from the farms in the valley. Plenty of vitamins in that water! Good luck on the big race this weekend! – Dad
