I just can't help but be scared.

It's just better out there.

This weekend

New power

Little power

Mucho power
Irish power

Heres the report from this weekends sailing drinking epesoide. Thou I have forgottne most of it I think it was still a winner. My brothers in town heading to Mex so we first messed about in SD playing on the Sabby and enjoying killerdiller rippen weather. Then we sailed up to MB for some of the same. BBQ cocktails and the such with even better weather. I love fall here it seams like 1/3 the amount of people on the beaches and bays.

Headed back down hill to San Diego Monday with a nice norther blowing no motor needed.

PS Got the honda 1000 for a steal, Brand new!!! Omygawd my lights havent been the bright sence I pulled off the dock !!! Funny thing is we only had one 110 light so I put it in the cockpit just to show off. It helped to see the BBQ !!

Got to watch this mammoth tri come in it was at least 100 long !!

Blown days

Well no work for a bit so off we go. Not sure where just yet but can't sit about doin nothing.

Not good for the head. There's an offshore breeze blowing think, I'll jump on it.

I have needs

As much as I love the simple life. Liven in the dark is gona get old real fast.

I need a new generator, Yea I have one or two work kind, butt fruck they are noisy!!

My friend ties up watching Opra and runnin all the lights like an air field as Im sittin in the dark huddled around my candles. Yeupp a Honda 2000 is in my future. All I have to do is trade a few days of my life so I can afford the luxury.

The Wall

I listened to Pink Floyd. Because I had too. So yeup life on the wall? Well it seams hard to get on or off and I know I cant sail off. So that a bummer. It's far from the folks I met and most row so they wont come by. Thats a.....bummer......and a blessing. The tourist take lots of pics of me so I kinda keep my refreshments down. Thats both good and bad. There are tons of jogger chicks thats good !!! There are tons of jogger dudes Bad !!

I'd have to say it's so so. Nah I need to sail off my mooring so it's kinda bad.

Oh well it beats Kansas.

Oooooh yea Been buze cruzin on the dink Real fun. Strapped a flash light to the mast and off we go. Ha thats a real cool thing

Ahh darn

Got the call today. I have to move Libby to "THE WALL"

Damn , It's like sittin in a fish bowl cause all the tourist just walk along looking right down in your cockpity. Looks like the leopord skin boxer shorts will have to stay away for a bit. The girl that runs my spot sadi she'll get me back outside as soon as possible. She's realy cool and I hope it happen soon. It allways blow right at the wall too and my boat dont like to stop or revesrse maken it even more of a bumstickler.

Lookin on the bright side Im gona put a sign and a can out maybe make some spare change while Im there. I'll drink for money or something.

Santa Anna'a

Yesterday at work we had a nice stiff Santa Anna running. About 9:00 we started looking for smoke. About 11:00 sure enough there it was over Vista.. It seams every year now when it blows So. Cal burns. We now have two in San Diego and LA is burning good also.

Last year my house was evacuated twice and one of the fires was sitting on the hill above us.

These pics are from my bed room. yikes !! Hope they dont come this close again. I would like to sell this place not watch it burn.

I was raised here a million years ago then moved for away for 10,000. I sure remember the Santa Anna's for their offshore winds and unreal surf but I don't remember all the fires. must be all the new people and development. When you think So Cal ya think quake not BBQ.

In other news looks like I'm running to the end of my work project. Hut Oh back to egg burritos and sailing and surfing and mucking about. Hum bummer (I think)

Demasted In San Diego ?

I was all worried aboat my bro running down to La Paz/ A what do I get, demasted right here in San Diego. Yea the Santa Anna's are here and my new used old dink got the worst of it. Ha my baybor called and told me poor lill Lib got whacked not so much by the wind but we have some large wake and mixed with the wind swell it was just to much. I know I should have taken the mast out but hey I wanted to be ready to sail on shorty notice. So Saturday I dumped a couple tubes of PL400 all over the lill gal and she's ready to rip again. Lucky I had the main sheet cleated or the mast would have floated away. Then I'd just have another row boat. So I am stoked !!! Happy thoughts bring happy things !!!! I do have pics but I dont have the camera sheeesh just to much to think aboat.

Zombie ing

Holley crapola,

It has been hot so hot my brain is melting, I have been doing masonry eeeeuck. I hate the dust it sticks in all your little pours and then the sweat packs it in real nice. Then it is slowly baked on thru the day so yea by 4 o'clock your a statue. Hahaaha.

In other news there's s steamer heading to Baja. I feel I should be running on down but have to much going on here. My brothers heading down as I wright. I worry about him. I have driven down during storms and it's freakn scary. Even when the weather is good it's scary. We have had trucks tow us thru arroyos and thru mud slides and around broken bridges. So my thoughts are with all the folks in the cross hairs of this new storm.

I had a million pics of cool weird stuff that hurricanes can do but my daughters computers skills tanked the old PC so all is lost. Wish i could share them thou. Ya know pics of cars on roofs, mast's sticking out of the water and other scary things.

Hopefully I'll never get any more pics like that.

Right back to the kiln

Morning thought

This may sound weird to some. I love work, I hate haven a JOB. There is a huge difference. Work, doing things for money. Job, doing things for others for money. Work, money when done. Job, money on Friday. Work, my own pace. Job, someone else's. Work, done on Wednesday, off on Thursday. Job, never done.

I don't like to complain seeing as Im a dying breed of self employed Americans. Totally relying own my work ethics and reputation. I have never advertised yet for some reason something always comes. That comes from Work. Not a Job. So it's kind of weird to be jobing instead of working. If that makes any sense. Pulse the fact that I HAVE to be there and leave at a set time. I think thats the hardest part. Mumble mumble groan. I have friends that have been at the same JOB for 20+ years. Same parking lot, same desk, same people. Oh my god how do they do it? Although these are the same people that have 401 k's vacation's and sick days. I still don't know how they do it.

This is what I have been doing. some concrete, some block work and soon I'll be unemployed again, till the next phone call then I'll build some thing else at a different place with different people. Yea it's scary not knowing what 2 months from now may bring. I think thats what I like the most.

But for now it's dark and time to be off to JOB

Oh my

Holley crap I just wish I could share some of these specele days with more people. Life is so simple and so easy and just so freakin cool. All we gota do is wake up and grab it by the balls. I am lucky enough to have some realy good friends. We had a tie up this weekend ......again ")
One friend is a killer cook (pork roast) on the barby with all and I mean all the trimin's felt like Christmas. Sooo good, great cheep wine cheep beer and cheep cocktails. My other friend has a nack for music So after dinner the tunes started up. We burned desert so all got better has the night wore on. It rained for a bit and we where all tucked under the dodger singing and carrying on. 2 oclock came way to fast. Then this morning we got to play with (insert name here) the new dink. What a cool day. The rain gave it a freash feeling and the brain pain was at a minumum. Little dinky is a blast !!! Amazing how far you can go with no effort or cost. I love sailin !!
I think the total bill for the whole weekend was like 30.00. G's I wonder what the rich people did. Thanks is all I can think of saying.

Friday !

Ya whoooooo.........

Got a hand last night from nice couple standing on the dock. Other wise I would still be driving around with a dingy and 15 sacks of concrete in the back of my truck. I saw these folks and asked if they would help. At first they where like get outa here ya bum... all worried I was gona steal they're .....a ....come to think of it I don't think they had anything. But anyway I don't blame them cause the dink dock has lots of people with out homes and they tend to sleep just about anywhere. Ah San Diego the weather is perfect for street sleeping.

Oh yea back to the point as I was trying to drag my "new" dink outa my truck and down the street they came up and offered a hand. I was stoked cause I was dragging the poor thing. I want it to like me so we have fun, not beat it up then in turn have it beat me up every time I want to sail. I know that sounds weird but that's the way my mind works. Oh yea back to the point . I guess the point is they helped and I towed it and my not so cool motor back out and sat in the cock pit looking at it. Hum that's it ? Yea I lead a fascinating life. HAhahaaha Hey it was dark!!

And I had to work and tomorrow I will rig it and sail it and have fun. So yes it's better then picking up dog poop and mowing the lawn. Life is good my friends, life is good.

Wooo Woo

New dinks here in my truck and ready to get used it is soooo Cool !!!!!
The folks I bought it from where all bummed So I set them home on a high note.
Out of respect I pretended I wasnt all that stoked. But the thought of messing around in some coves and sailing to my boat showed . Maybe I'll tie die the sail put some flames on her bow it's so freakin cool
I've wanted one of these for sooooooo long. All I need now is some gas money to get to the harbor. Gosh what a nasty circle Bahhhhhhha

WTF?

Im on land with a big ol bed and all the stuff. But right at 4 am whamo Im awake. I was dreaming of a bear breaking into the boat and thought it was raining. So I chased the bear out with a snow cone. Hummm I wonder what it all means. Probably gona win the lotto or something. I know why I woke up. On the ball every morning about this time the Tugs go out to work. Leaving in their way a wakening wake. On the boat Im used to it, I guess when the roll didn't come it triggered crazy brain reflex's. Like holly crap we are dragging anchor !!! Thats always a rude awakening. Sure would be cool to pop a bit more sleep but Im worried the bear will come back and my snow cone has melted.

Watching the news on the telly. It should be illegal. TV that is.
