California's Central Coast - Part 3 - Elephant SealsWe recently took a trip to California's Central Coast for a couple of days.  We were experiencing our first real heat wave here in the Central Valley and decided a trip to the much cooler coast would be a good idea.  The day time temperatures were going to break 100° for several days in a row.  It's not unusual for us to head over to the coast when that happens.  While it's over 100° here in the Central Valley it's usually in the 60's on the coast.California's Central Coast stretches roughly from Santa Cruz in the north to Santa Barbara in the south.  This particular trip we visited the area around Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo county.  One of our stops on this trip was at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery.  The rookery is locat...

If you happen to receive a text message from 805-600-3553 (a California phone number), report it to Facebook. It's just someone trying to spoof visitors, really just a phony front number that belongs to some Lysol-guzzling pinhead who didn't like one of your Facebook comments or posts. The text message reads, "Your Facebook Account is restricted, please review and accept Policy here to verify". The 805 area code covers four counties, including Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. 805-600-3553 will send you a text message with a link you are supposed to follow:(https://fbpolicy.vrfd902.com?FacebookID86573446 or https://fbpolicy.vrfd902.com/FacebookID86573446 One of these links takes you to a page that is registered with "1&1 IONOS" which apparently has nothing ...

Nipomo - From the Chumash Indians meaning Village.Nipomo is situated south of Pismo Beach, and north of Santa Maria – in the state of California.I first heard about Nipomo in the early 1980’s when getting ready for work, Good Morning America had a segment on Nipomo, one of the best annual climates in the united states.  On average, there are 290 sunny days in Nipomo with the high in July in the 70’s to low 80’s.   While not actually situated at the ocean, Nipomo offers an ocean breeze and is situated just a stone throw away.Nipomo is only approximately 14 square miles, with a few thousand residents.  There are some fabulous golf courses in the area, Monarch Dunes, Cypress Ridge, and Trilogy. Because the town is not a beach town, there is minimal traffic, with all the benefits of the oce...

Be aware that a rural property will not have standard public utilities, but instead it may have a septic tank, a water well, solar panels, wind turbines, a satellite dish, and a propane tank for fuel.  Be prepared to ask for (and pay for) an inspection of each item.If it’s a brand new house, or a newer building, ask the seller for blueprints, floor plans, building specifications, architectural, structural, and mechanical plans.  Older houses probably won’t have that available, but when there have been add-ons, you should ask for remodeling plans and copies of permits.Get appliances warranties and manuals from the seller.  If the seller has painted the house, ask the seller to leave cans of paint in the garage, so you can color match later on.Read more in our book, "Buy Your First Home",...

Since we were in the area anyway, what the hey, it seemed like a good idea to plan a trip to La Casa Grande, otherwise known as the main house at Hearst Castle in San Simeon. We grabbed a quick breakfast at The Oaks Hotel in Paso Robles and headed downtown to shop at a few stores before driving 45 minutes to Hearst Castle for our tour.We pulled into the parking lot and quickly found a spot. Maybe Sundays at the end of October are not that busy? But we weren't taking any chances. As we walked toward the Visitor's Center, I spied a row of outhouses. Not the small, smelly kind. The bigger, more modern types. Hey, let's make a pit stop, I suggested. Barbara was standing outside asking me how I opened my door because she couldn't open any of the other doors.She went in after I came out, and ...

Initially, Barb and I had tickets to see Mickey Dolenz in Sacramento last spring at The Crest Theatre. But suddenly the show was canceled without any reason. Our money refunded. Curious about that, I searched online to see what was up. Turns out Mickey was able to negotiate a sweeter deal, even if it did not include Mike Nesmith, or, as we used to say back in the '60s, the only guy in the band with natural talent, even if he was sort of weird looking, in a Paul Bunyan from Brainerd kind of way.You can read more in my personal blog today and see all of the photographs at this link: The Monkees 50th Anniversary Tour at Paso Robles.

Throwback Thursday: Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CAMorro Rock is a 581 foot volcanic plug just offshore from Morro Bay, CA. It is located in the entrance of Morrow Bay Harbor. There is a causeway which connect it with the shore, hence it is effectively a tied island.My parents came to visit us and every time they came, my father had an agenda to see Nature in California. All the wonderful places we have at our fingertips but we never see them. He was the tour guide to us. I was just the chauffeur.Needless to say he had health issues but it would not slow him down. He insisted we go and climb the Rock. Diane and my mother opted to stay in the parking lot. So my dad and I went and climbed to the top. If you have never been the view is phenomenal and the bonding my dad and I had was nothing le...

Most buyers prefer to close within a month or so, and a typical escrow closing period is 30 days.  However, for buyers who are getting a government loan such as FHA, VA, or USDA, they can expect a slightly longer escrow, which may be 60 days or more.  If you are buying a short sale, the escrow period is usually 3 to 6 months.  If you have a complex loan, are buying an REO, or there are other delays, always plan an extra few weeks just in case.Sometimes the sellers do not want to move out until the school year is over, so their children can change schools during summer break.  Therefore, it’s common for a seller to request the escrow closing date be timed to coincide with the end of the school year.  Or perhaps they are relocating to another state and want for their new home there to clo...
