Ma’ ol’ Kentucky home
Took me about a day to realize why I keep coming back. The Sleepcats at Dee’s and Patrick’s shrimp and grits.
What a great trip!
Thanks to everyone for making this a great trip. Six boards at Bing (formerly Channin) and six days at Avalon, surfing almost daily, and seeing all my friends. Life is good.
January Tattoos
Dang!
Wow, six boards (at Bing) and six days at the tattoo shop (Avalon) and I finally have some days off with my lovely wife. Now I get to do what everyone thinks I do when I come out.
it’s a wonderful life
In the shaping room today, working. I’m listening to my usual shaping mix, jazz, classical, Tom Waits, old 97’s. Up comes a selection from the Dee Felice Big Band the “Jazzmanian Devils”, Live at the Club. I tended bar the night it was recorded. What a night! Reminded me what a great life I’ve had, and what awesome people I’ve had the pleasure and honor of associating with. Many of you are on that list. Thank you.
long day
Up at 3:45am EST, flight at 6:00am EST (3:00 PST), arrive San Diego, shuttle to downtown, Coaster to Encinitas, ride from a friend (thanks Sam) to my bus in Leucadia (thanks Ronan/Jen), to the bank to get cash and deposit check (thanks Tyler/James- Corduroy), up to the factory to pick up boards (thanks Matt/Margaret-Bing/Jacobs) and drop off cash, drop off boards at Surfindian in PB (thanks Chris), meet friend in Hillcrest to deliver new board (thanks Jack), eat burrito and have a beer (thanks Stone), write this. Damn! I’m tired. Time to crash (thanks Jacek/Caroline)
I’m leavin’ on a jet plane…
Can’t wait to get to SD for my next trip. Three glorious weeks of shaping, tattooing and visiting. It goes without saying that I plan on getting in the water every single chance I get. I’m assuming the weather will turn perfect as soon as I arrive. I look forward to seeing you all.
Avalon is booked and I am shaping every other day to fill orders and build up my stock again. I’ve got a couple HPH’s at the factory waiting for pick up, going to Surfindian in PB. Thanks to everyone who has purchased one of my boards. I really appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy them thoroughly.
Looks like I’ll be doing a show at Corduroy in Portland Maine in the spring. We’re ironing out details now. I look forward to some East coast water time. I’ve had only a small taste and it left me hungry for more. Thanks to Tyler and James for the continued association.
Ho Ho Happening!
Stop by this Sunday to the 7th St. Gift Shop in Newport for a dose of POKE, and a fun community holiday gathering.
What will you do at 89?
