Nevergreen terrace [s]

R, Dan and Dave came down this past weekend. Besides the requisite Halo, Winner, surfing, and tasty food/drink, we were on a mission to clear the rocks out of the second terrace. It's difficult to describe the size of the task. But I should add that Dan cleared out the three juniper stumps that confounded the other two a year ago. Also the pier for the late satellite dish was hammerdrilled down to size.

The surf session at Fletcher's was pretty exciting. Cleanout sets in September, E says he had an overhead. Warm water, too.



Now that the lower portion of the wall is exposed, I'm inclined to give it a fresh layer of paint since that light blue and tile is ugly. I'm inclined to go very dark green to match the house/deck trim and work well with the red brick.

We planted some grass seeds and I'm keeping it very damp. Out front I've set up the drippers - keeping them pretty close together. They do a good job of wetting down the whole area. I just need to partially bury them, though the grass will do a good job of that.

A few photos from Saturday's session at the MB jetty, thanks Connie. The weather is hot, the water is cold.

Fletcher's [s]

The swell's a'comin'. Erik, Matt, and I went out to Fletcher's for some surf n' shoot. Then got pho with the White Lambda who stumbled into my large, empty house.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to double sess and get more time on the board. Maybe even WK, CS, or AG will show.

The photos are posted here, with a few highlights below. Other vids: 'Over Here!', my awesome paddling back to shore, and a couple more videos.


A fine ride punctuated by a buried nose.


Erik buzzes my proverbial tower.


A right for Matt.


Matthew at various points down the corner.


I swapped Erik board for camera (on a temporary basis).


Erik in the middle of a bottom turn (check out the three shots in sequence on the flickr).


People who ride back door look so funny.


Matt's gratuitous ass shot. Watch it glisten, ladies.
