Well, I guess I’ve been pretty bad about updating this blog!!! Here’s a few things that I’ve been doing:
I just put a down payment on another car. The first car I was going to get ended up having a bad transmission so the dealer couldn’t sell me the car. Well, I guess it’s good I didn’t get a car with a bad tranny but it was just annoying that it had to be broken at all. So I found another Jeep. It’s nice – it’s a Grand Cherokee Laredo, in Silver. It looks very nice. Only bad thing is that it has a large scratch on the passenger side. It almost looks like it got keyed. Oh well, I just need a car.
This whole car business has been a thorn in my side. It’s basically all I have been doing the past two weeks, and it has been hard to get my life going. I can’t get beach stickers because I don’t have the car I’m going to put them on, and basically all my excess time has been spent looking for cars.
On a brighter note I went surfing at Ditch Plains today. There were some good waves – about chest – head high. I forgot how fun Ditch can be on the right days. I also forgot how slow the takeoff is. I’m used to fast waves from California and the other places I traveled to this winter. At ditch I felt like I had all this time to pop to my feet. I felt like my popups were smooth, and technically I surfed really well. I was hitting my cutbacks and overall felt REALLY in control of my board. It’s cool to go away and surf in California for 6 months and come back much better than when you left.
I would really like to post more in this blog, so stay tuned!
