March 31: Finds galore! At the shell station on Yosemite Ave., I found six pennies. Then, on to tennis practice at Arroyo Vista Park in Moorpark where I played an extremely exact and sharp 3 sets of doubles crushing our first opponents 6-1, 6-1... and, another team for a single set 6-3! My thanks to "the Professor" for bringing his "A" game today. After tennis, hunger made a stop at Carl's Jr. in order -- found a dime. Next stop, the Simi Valley post office -- found a penny in the flowerbed near the entrance. Another stop was made at Petsmart on Cochran Ave. -- another penny. Our afternoon we spent at the Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura -- found a penny along the roadside parking. Coming home from the beach, we stopped at Target for "sundries." Found a single dollar bill and 2 pennies. The dollar bill was dropped by a young lady as she ran out the door to jump into a waiting car... costly haste!

FMJ - Day 364
March 27: In the morning, I found 7 pennies scattered about near my pump at the Alliance Gas Station on L.A. Ave. It's a very windy day today... so, no tennis at the park. We're staying indoors... good time for getting the taxes done. OUCH! A stop at the Ralph's in Wood Ranch and I was able to turn-in some recycling payment slips -- add another $3.30 to the B&C Fund.

FMJ - Day 362
March 25: Five pennies found. Beach day for us. We sat ourselves down at Emma Wood state beach for a few hours in the afternoon... took a long walk and did a "zenful" nothing. Relaxing! After that, some shopping at the Camarillo Outlets, where Ajay and I found the five pennies. We also cleaned the beach a little by retrieving any bottles or cans we saw along our walk -- 8 found.
Got a great deal on a new tennis outfit at the Reebok store. I'm going to save it for our first Spring League USTA Doubles Match. Ajay bought Adidas socks... Maya also spent some of her dough... "her purchase is a secret." Mommy's buy is also a "secret." I think they're feeling a little guilty as we said we would make any purchases until our spring vacation to Sedona, Arizona in April... So much for resolutions.
BTW! I learned something the other day... when you ship your empty printer cartridge back to the manufacturer for recycling in their "postage-paid bag," the HP company doesn't actually reuse and refill the cartridge. They physically destroy it so that companies that offer the refill and recycling service can't get their hands on it. Not good for the environment! There is a franchise called CARTRIDGE WORLD that sells a guaranteed remanufactured and refilled printer cartridge for about 50% less... My HP-56 is $19.98 at Staples -- I turned in my old cartridge and paid $11.00 for the recycled HP-56 at Cartridge World in Cerritos, CA. Works Great!
We turned $1.10 worth of bottles and cans at the Wood Ranch Recycling near the Ralph's in Wood Ranch. I'll add it to the total later when I cash the slip.

FMJ - Day 360
March 23: No finds today... a few bottles. Nothing to report really. I was, however, on the News in L.A. today. I was interviewed for a "man on the street" about a story involving a child abduction in Simi Valley. You can see the video at the CBS-2 KCAL site here: http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_082110358.html
That's me at the tennis courts... our Rancho Simi Park. My Tennis buddies "volunteered " me to be interviewed.
BTW, Luckily the girl fought off her attacker and was able to escape, THANK GOD!

March 22: One penny found... actually it was found on Day 358 in the evening. Didn't want to cook a dinner... so, we went to Pagoda, our favorite Chinese restaurant, in Porter Ranch, CA which is about 9 miles from our house. Upon returning to our car, I find the penny in the middle of the space next to ours. NO further finds.
Found 10 bottles. (I'll add these to Day 360 results.)

FMJ - Day 358
March 21: Found 16 cents. The first dime was a dime while walking to the kid's school to pick-up Ajay. After getting Ajay, we decided to take a "walkabout." Some days, I'll park the car in a neighborhood near the school and we'll walk for a good half-hour back to the car -- usually making a big circle. We found 4 pennies resting atop a newspaper box along out walk. After the walk -- tennis time at Wood Ranch Park for Ajay. We found 2 pennies in the parking lot near our space.
Early this morning, I returned bottles & cans to the Wood Ranch Recycling Center... $2.25 for the fund.

March 10: $1.50 found. After tennis practice in the morning, I took the kids to an early lunch at In-N-Out Burger in Simi Valley -- found 2 pennies in the parking lot and a dime under the L.A. Times box. We had a friend from back east visit us today... my wife and she went to 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica while I took the kids to see THE ASTRONAUT FARMER -- GREAT MOVIE! Ajay found a penny at Janns Marketplace in Thousand Oaks. I found a dime there. After the movie, the kids and I went to Santa Monica to pick-up mommy from an exhausting day of paling around with her best bud. I felt that the tire in my wife's car needed a little attention... so, I made a stop at the shell station on Las Virgenes Rd. -- found a dollar bill near the air machine... and Free AIR! On the way home, we stopped at Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills. Found a quarter and 2 pennies.

FMJ - Day 340
March 3: Found a quarter and two pennies. The quarter was found by Ajay as we were paying for his baseball glove, 2 balls, a bat, baseball pants and socks at the K-mart. He looked down as we stood in line and made the scoop. The boy has baseball fever... all he talks about is baseball. I took him out yesterday and in just a few minutes he was tossing the ball into the air and swinging the bat -- MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BALL EACH TIME! I'm now thinking will just skip T-ball and go right into pitching machine league. We found the pennies in the evening... one in the Ralph's parking lot on L.A. Ave. The other at 7-Eleven on Wilshire in Santa Monica, CA.
