I Have Returned

24 Jul

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!
