East Beach, Lake Mission Viejo. Two beaches here, water is in 80s in summer, and open container allowed. Rent 10ppl party boats for $25/hr.
It’s quite nice. Coming from a beach person, I didn’t think I would like coming here, but it’s very nice.
I started my walk at 5am from HB pier all the way to PCH tacos and couldn’t ignore all the trash from yesterday’s celebration. The beach maintenance was passing by so I asked for a bag and gloves to help out. It was so much fun picking up trash all the way back to my car. I want to give kudos to Steve who picked up trash with his grabber and thank you to Justin for the $5 for coffee :D also a big thank you to maintenance, they really are the backbone of this beach. I felt so good contributing to mother nature. I did end up finding a lot of shells by the bonfire pit :3 and reused the trash bag 4 times
Edit: thank you u/GunGir|LovesTrulys for my first award yippee~

I went to Mission Viejo’s 4th of July festivities yesterday and happened to come across this high school age band, only listened to two songs but holy smokes….. Iphone didn’t capture acoustics well but bass and drums rhythm section was SOLID, guitars legit, and the singer had a Robert Plant sound. I was f@cking impressed .
The band’s name (I think) was “School of Rock”, they had several members that would switch instruments, different singers, I mean just crazy talent. Hell, I was in a band for several years and we didn’t sound this good LOL. And they are in high school.
Just impressed that a new generation appreciates this music and are taking the torch. The Kids (in OC) Are Alright.
does anyone have experience with kaiser in OC/anaheim versus the UCI health system? i finally got insurance through work so now i have to pick all new healthcare and im wondering which is better and want opinions? tia!
Went to watch Obsession here it’s pretty good and adds to the atmosphere
I’m seeing some things on social media that the police have shut down the road allowing accessing to and from the peninsula. I also read the police ordered all shops and bars to be closed. Very unusual for that place. Wondering if anything is there and knows anything?
If you're looking for something to do tonight and enjoy music or Van Halen, I suggest checking out this show. It is likely to be a treat for your ears.
What Christian James Hand does is breaks down songs by each instrument while also providing a history lesson about not only the song but the artist. I was introduced to him during the pandemic, but you may have heard him doing this on the radio.
Tonight is: Sex & Laughs & Rock & Roll: A Night of Ridiculousness Celebrating Van Halen
If we show up we may possibly be able to get him to do more shows out here.
Showtime is 6pm, Doors open at 4:30pm.
Hope to see some of you there!
Idk about you guys, but my street was sooo mellow compared to last 5 years. Goodnight!
We let them know and they still decided to stay in the line..
Worker also tried to tell them but they refused to leave and ended up taking their order.
Saw a clip of a related incident where you would pay for their meal and then take the order, but they ordered about $80 worth of food and didn't want to cause a ruckus for everyone else since they'd probably throw a fit.
Hi guys! I was going south bound but my side was halted as well before 4th street. They eventually let my side go but North still seemed blocked. A few chp cops were walking on the side lane looking for something.
Anyone have more details?
Wow, Knott’s Berry farm put on an amazing firework
Spectacular.
Just happy that I’m getting ready to run a 5k and watch a parade when they’re shutting down 4th of July events due to the heat in other parts of the US. Look at these wild temperature swings…
Spent some time out there in the 90s myself but not going to school...vacations primarily. Going down memory lane and just curious what it was like for those who did...Was it like what media showed? Specifically asking about junior and highschool...
Just an FYI that CHP have been picking off people left and right on the stretch of the 241 really between the two Portola exits in the Foothill Ranch area. They seem to be emphasizing northbound traffic more but I’d watch both ways.
Specifically, for like 3 or 4 Saturdays in a row, there has been a patrol waiting underneath the Alton overpass and he’s very hard to see in the shadow as you are coming around that slight right bend. And he’s getting people all the time.
Watch your speed! - You should be good 75 and under. They are out especially since summer has started. Not saying it’s a bad thing necessarily that they are, but please watch out and don’t speed!
This little beauty was serenading the family this morning…any idea what type of bird it is?
Hi! Happy FOJ. You guys have helped me before and I’m looking for some recommendations again.
I know how to make some basic meals. Salmon/veggies/chicken/pasta but I don’t really know the art of cooking and the science behind it. I was never really taught cooking growing up and I’ve tried to self teach on YouTube but I’ve struggled with getting it right.
With more talk around food/healthy lifestyle, I’d love to learn about making more homemade meals (I have a young daughter) and just cooking in general.
I’ve done some classes at sur La table but I definitely I feel like I need more individualized attention so I was wondering are there more intimate cooking classes or someone that can come to the home and help teach? Thanks in advance :)
