Snow day

Surprise snowiness that started Thursday afternoon and made driving a really slick experience last night and this morning. Still hanging around this morning and through lunch time even though it has "warmed right up" to 2 deg C (36 F).

Winter wonderland

Mid week surf near home; lucky to get away on such a fine day.

Don't be too deceived it looks warmer than it was: water temperature ~ 9 deg C, air between 1 and 5 deg C, and it was windy too.

Waves were as nice as they looked but a little tricky to make along the zippering outside section.

Got fuel for $2.94 a gallon today, around 75c per litre, still cheap by international standards, mind you, thankfully I don't need to feed some monster pickup with a 6 or 7 litre V8 [or V10] motor.

4 days of January surf and such

Took a couple of days off after going to The Dalles for work on Wednesday: it is worth the drive up the Gorge

Thursday grey and cold but fun no less

Friday sunny and cold and more fun, except for locking my keys in the car; many thanks to the folks who all helped me with that dilemma.

Saturday great but frustrating surf, many bodies in the water; it was Saturday what can ya expect?

Sunday on and off grey and cold and sunny and warm surf a bit choppy.

Sunday: Can't believe these people were so careful to place their litter so neatly...
It asks on the cup "How are we doin'" maybe they [McDs] should encourage their customers to use a trash can... it can't be any harder than this little stunt.

Maybe some more surf this week even though it is butt-cold.
