more x-mas picks + todays surf picks

Home sweet home. Coulda used anther few days though...
It didn't seem like a whirl wind trip, which has not been the case
of our last few in-n-out trips. Back to the grind...at least for only
3 days!!!

OOOOOOOOO! Looks super fun. Got to get some work done

so I can get in the lineup....

No one on it!

This pick is titled "how many people does it take

to cut what ever that stuff is called"...

Winter wonder land...

Had a great X-mas break. The snow didn't cooperate though.

It dumped at the house and left little for the mountains.

dreaming of a white christmas

Another White x-mas in Colorado!

I have a few good photos but can't find the camera.


Bummin. I wanted to make a snowman this day, but the snow
was to dry... who knew snow"people" had to be made with
a certain type of snow?





We found the leak in the hot tub. Breaking icicles isn't quite
as nice as sitting in the tub, but it was still pretty damn fun...

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is staying warm...

more cold stuff

Yesterday was one of the coldest days I've ever experienced yet...
Temps below -14 and windchills around -40. F.U.C.K.N. COOOOOLD!

This was as we started working.
2 Pairs of thermals (1 was malitary/beastie boy grade),
pants and snowboard pants. AAAANNNNDDD. still COLD.



We stayed in the trucks as much as possible.



me.


Today it was a balmy --4! Sunny. No wind and perfect.
Then the temps increased to +22. Sun went away and the
wind started blowing. It felt like it was -200.
enough said.

good night cutie

A few cold pics from today.


today's conditions




that's a -4 degrees...


I'm cold, tired and hungry.
And I already miss my cutie...

god moment

while driving from Fargo to Jamestown I was flipping
through the radio and heard a guy say, "god directed you
there." the lady replied, "oh, I know, it was a god moment."
i don't think i've had one of those yet...not sure if i even want one.
but with tomorrow's high of -4 and scheduled to be at the job
site by dawn, i just might have a god moment.
who knows.

ND bound

Washing clothes, digging through the closet, suit cases,
board bags and still no gloves...or at least not the gloves
I'm looking for.
Packing up for a cold week in North Dakota. Micrositing
a wind farm all week. It's gonna be 2 degrees tomorrow,
and 3 on tuesday before warming up to a balmy 15.
er ber.

Worse of all....No K.
I'm gonna miss u cutie.

ugly sweater party

goodwill time!?



oh-yeah last weekend was guys night out.
super fun. super good wine. food. and i almost
paid for my plain ticket with poker winnings!

Charlie Brown Christmass Tree

The waves have been huge lately. But so has my time on
dry land. Actually, although it's been BIG and CLEAN, it's
also been the most polluted it has been in a year. I wonder
how may will be heading to the doc this week?

K and I did a morning cruse to the cliffs today.
On the way home we drove by the pier...
It's a Charlie Brown Christmas in OB this year.

I just don't know how anyone paid money to cut this tree
down? At what point do you not say, "well. maybe this one can live"





Palm tress lining the way to the CBCT.
check out the palm branch hanging from the OB lights...
gotta love this place.


Miles away from ordinary...Life is good!

thanksgiving and beyond....

Another loooong gap between posts.
It's RAINING! It's been raining all day long!
And it's going to keep raining until tomorrow.
It must be the 100-yr rain for SD. I miss the rain
so much, it awesome!

On a side note, it sucks because now the ocean will
be super, extra polluted...no way I'll go in the water
for the next week. No way unless the surf is
super, extra epic!

I can't talk about last weekend yet because I have to
get this thanksgiving post up first...



Everyone likes a little pie with their whipped cream!




Eureka! These 2 didn't stop laughing all week...




Work hard. play hard. sleep harder.
Busted. sleeping during the Nebraska game...




Cute pick. 5 minutes later I combo spill red wine on my pops
and white on Jules and her meal.
doesn't everyone like a little whit wine sauce?
