This .2 mile (less than ,25) section is paved so that wheel chair bound people can take in the view.

Well that's not hiking... that's rolling. lol. Sarcasm.

We went to Palm Springs one year and they got 2' of snow on that tram tourist trap mountain, Mount San Jacinto. People were acting like they didn't know what to do. We brought our winter jackets and enjoyed.



From Joshua Tree to the East. Holy fucking wind. Sustained 40-50mph.



Fun trip. Wife is headed out there next week. I'm begging to tag along, but it's work for her. She doesn't want her trophy husband to tag along ;) I'd love to get out there and golf. Grab a car and let her do her thing. $12 flight.... oh well. We had kids.

Makes no sense: why would seniors of all people be "stressed" about time change?

Physical stress from less sleep or change in sleep pattern in general. Not psychological stress. When you're very old little shit matters.

But why would retired people change their sleep pattern when the clock moves an hour either way? It's not like they have to be at the office 8am sharp or something.

"Stress" causes myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericardial infarction, as well as strokes, Alzheimers/Parkinsons, "turbo cancers," etc. Oh wait . . .

Another day another bay. Souci Island.

Back to sunny California. Washed the boat, now getting it dirty.

Hope y'all as cool as I am.

Greetings from Kennebunk(port). Maine is beautiful as always!

Building a new jib!

Computer cut kit from Sailrite.com. Half the price of a new one from Asia plus the satisfaction of making it myself.

Ass (joking). 15ºF here. Been the coldest post Thanksgiving I can remember in my life. The ski hills are loving it though that make snow. I'd rather be where you're at. Plus I hate the holidays. I'm solo with the kids because of the wife's holiday parties. December is the month if given a choice I'd remove from the calendar. I don't need gifts. I buy what I want, when I want.
