Came across some shots of Grandma Inez's side of the family. This first photo is of William Harry Byrne who worked in the San Francisco Fire Dept.

As Drupal 7 nears the end of its lifecycle, I started a little project to migrate from D7 to D10. 

Through the month of November 2023, I got back up to speed on Drupal, migrated my old site and started to add content that I had notes on from 2019-2023.

As I dug into the tutorials on how to migtate data and reviewed what might actually be of relevance to me or someone else, I dropped a bunch. 

To learn Drupal 10, I setup a site on Pantheon so I could easily build up and tear down prototypes till I found the right set of modules for my needs.

So we flew down to Los Angeles and went to Venice Beach for a weekend. We took Leo so we could determine if he was able to fly (he was, kinda).

So we went to Turlock for a dog show. Never thought I’d go to Turlock.

Leo did pretty well at the show and made it to the groups competition.

I did some bike rides through the various parts of town and out into the fields to add some miles.

In late March, we drove out to Las Vegas for the dog show in Henderson. On our outbound drive, we got stuck for 4 hours in a traffic jam between Barstow and Baker where a big rig had overturned. The truck had to be unloaded and it was literally the middle of nowhere at night... 

Leo did well in this competition winning a point and competing in the groups.

We headed out to Del Mar in February for a dog show. We had a few storms pass through on the drive.

We began 2023 with a car trip to Palm Springs for the first dog show of the season. The weather was fantastic and we stayed again at the La Quinta Resort & Club. We took my bike, so I got a few long rides through the area, although I couldn’t quite find the Thermal Club. We drove out to see it one afternoon.

Back in June 2023, at LPR's Autocross #5 at Salinas Airport an interesting thing happened.

As I went into full brake at the finish of my first run, the drivers side headlight shot out of the car. I'm sure it gave the timing station quite a start as it bounced across the tarmac.
