Camp Howdy

So.......As I get home last night the lightning and thunder start, and then comes the hail. And it keeps coming and getting bigger, so eventually the good 'ol trusty cockpit cover starts to sag from the weight of all the ice. I climb up into the cockpit and start to shake the two inches of solid ice pellets that has collected, off the cover and BOOM! The sky goes wite (I had to)and the boat just skakes violently. I figure the strike had to be somewhere very near, cause the boom came pretty much right at the same time as the strike. Then we get several more, and the lights are flashin', and the boats shakin' and the hail keeps commin'. I love this weather stuff, but for a minute there, I was stayin away from the mast, if you know what I mean....and I think you do. To make a long story short, as I write this, cup of coffee in hand, there's two inches of solid ice in the back of the cockpit, and the docks are under about an inch of the stuff and frozen solid.

The moral of this story?

I really need a digital camera.

"A high surf warning also is in effect through noon Saturday along the coast from Sonoma County to Santa Cruz County. Swells could reach 17 feet, Anderson said."

Forgive my humble offering. :bow:

Zeke and me had just busted out of the thick traffic leaving the Golden Gate Bridge at 4ish. Looking for beer and cheeseburgers we drove through Ukiah and found a place at the edge of town with last year's cheerleaders at the counter and the football coach cooking. Lagunitas IPA. LAH-GOO-KNEE-TUSS. Cuz and me took off to the big city to see a three act set at the Twelve Galaxies. The Bellyachers and Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash were the only two I recall. We got there early to beat the crowd and they were having a tasting party special. I.P.FUKN'A. Little Dog Faced beercap refridgerator magnets. Available down Zeke's stairs and at the Only Brick Building in Capitola Left Standing.

LAIMBEER: (smirking) That was dreadful. No scream. No wince. And you got up way too quickly. Remember: You've just been shot (shaking head). I've seen better stuff from Shane Battier. And that's when he was in college.

I love this article, FLOP ME BABY!!!!!
