Title: Beach Blanket Bingo
Post by: JC w KC redux on August 11, 2018, 04:17:58 PM
Had a fun beach session with KC, beano, Kim-bear, briham, mt.reynier and a few others today. Hadn't been in the ocean in way too long. Swam outside the break, took a few rides on the boogie board and went through the washing machine once. Birthday cake for Kim-bear's 1st birthday and good times all around  :biggrin: :yesnod: :thumbup:

That honestly sounds better than the climbing we did in the (relative) heat and (not-relative) smoke. I got in six new routes, but I think being at the beach with your party might have been more enjoyable.

Not likely to go out tomorrow.

 Sorry we missed it, Martha is still sick but was feeling a little better yesterday.

 I didn't know you do the devolution thing. You are more barracuda than seal shaped but sharks like both.  :)

There is life away from the Pinnacles.

Which, today, looked awesome with a nice marine layer in Salinas.

Driving home from Santa Barbara. We stopped in Santa Maria last night and then in Paso R to pick up my new ride.

Now home and back to reality.

Surprisingly there is after all these years - It was actually relatively cool there today topping out at only 95 at 3:30.
I still monitor even though I haven't been to the crud in quite some time now - should this go on the Historic thread?

Beach walking has become a regular thing - we just got back from an hour long stroll.
Very pleasant temps with just a slight breeze.

Kat and I rode to Harkins Slough yesterday on our bikes. We saw a friend of a friend who no longer climbs.

 Oh and for the record, I got a bike with 2x wheels.

Such a joy.

 Ocean fishing requires weights, 3/8s bolts/w.hanger work great! How is your inventory JC ?

Where did everyone go?

Is it Pinnacles season yet?

Don’t they have a senior discount at the park?

Smoky as heck up here.  I am making the conscious decision not to ride my bike, since it cannot be healthy in these conditions.

Kat and I rode our bicycles to Harkins Slough again over the weekend. We rode to the west access two weekends ago and the east access this past Sunday. I liked the west side better. The road stretches a bit farther out and it is more open and viewful. Both sides have their charm.

That would be quite an undertaking.
I would love it if Kat would get on the uni bandwagon but I don't think it is going to happen - even though I have a second big wheel she could ride - hint hint  :thumbup: :biggrin: :ihih: :frown2:

We just took a nice long walk on the beach and got treated to quite the show by breaching whales.
Nice temps, breezy, flat ocean and critters.  :yesnod: :smilewinkgrin: :thumbup: :arf:

Negatory.

Mungie don't surf.


Unless it's Kauai on little 2 ft rollers, that one time.
