lol @ dis tread. I pop back in here after a month or so and see this. No, I did not go surfing on 12/29. Was trying to get north to WA/OR but transmissionne sharthuffed itself and I got stranded for several days with wahine in the mountainnes. Got the wheels back out of the shoppe on NYE and said fockitt and headed south to Mendocino coast and then the fuel systemme sharthuffed. 3 days later we are mobile once again as I fixed it by hand and I'll be hitting Marin coast in a few hours for head and a half and clean. The transition out west has monopolized all time the last 3 months of my life but I reckonne 2016 will be prosperous and stokely. I see orange on the swell maps every day, yet clean winds. Water is still 53F in NorCal and 60F in the southerly part. Holy $hit, I just saw "Hammonton, New Jersey" sign on the opening scene of the pilot of Boardwalk Empire. There ya go, Billy. Happe New Year to you cats!
