"Did you hear what the new pirate movie was rated? Arrrgh!"

-from Jolly Roger: Massacre at Cutter's Cove

Yes here on the afternoon of July 4 P.I.D. 2006 building to a crashing whatever...one of the most crowded beach days along PCH in the L.A./Ventura County areas I've ever seen in my life...tremendous weather...tremendous crowds though...finally am sliding the hot part of the afternoon prone in front of a fan at home watching "Beach Patrol" and the madness of San Diego before shortly I go forth and continue work on my new paipo...which has arisen from a bad initial saw job to the place where I'll be sealing edges and maybe get a primer coat of paint on it today. Original plan was to be riding it today but then what's the point of not being flexible when you're talking a thin ply paipo?

Ah, Good Grief...summerfun not undone in winter...U.S. Independence day drinking Mexican beer, eating guacamole and ribs and corn on the cob...night spent consoling the dog who still has sharp hearing...beach madhouse of today will be quiet trash bonanza of recycleables in the morning. Hope everyone gets lit up.

I slept too late on the the 4th. Didn't think I'd need to set my alarm clock. Oh well. The 4th usually isn't a very good water day for me. Too many incontinent people in the water.

I originally picked late April for a paipo holiday, because it wouldn't conflict with other major holidays and committments. Plus I can see where other folks, like people in the UK might have a different view of July 4th. One could see it as a day when the colonists declared bankruptcy (not independence) and refused to help pay the debt of the French and Indian War. Yes, I think we need a better day for a paipo holiday, like something that honors a paipo pioneer. How about Roger Wayland Day sometime in the Fall?

Bloody hell, September 19 is a Tuesday on my calendar (I acknowledge that it may not be a Tuesday on everyone else's calendars). Sort of screws up a festive get together but of course doesn't affect the ability for individuals to celebrate in their own time and space. Arr!

Never having had my hands on a plank, I was wodnering what the design critera would be? Just wood and beer?

Speaking of rum...this morning I was thinking about homemade wood stains. I want to try Jamaican coffee steeped in rum. Should be appropriate for a pirate planker. You can drink any leftover stain. Keep the shop tidy. Aye, matey?

Two years ago during a visit and stay in Manzanita it was 2' on Friday morning, 20' on Saturday morning. Find a huge headland to hide behind!
