57 degrees in Cayo Largo @ 9:19 in the a.m...

It feels strange that I'm not all sweaty just standing outside... nice change. Good grinding & sanding weather.
I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely dont,
Think I'll go and fix myself...a tall one.

We've got a skiff of snow on the ground so we have to keep that door open in the hopes that some warmer weather comes through and melts it. It's just too early for snow and I've got a ton of things to do before it arrives permanently.

Nice and cool in Coonassland.....first real cool snap of the year so I celebrated by spending a couple of days shooting 2,500 nails into my camp dock boards with my $99 big ass Chinese nail gun. Got 1,500 to go. Excellent way to work up a thirst and sit by the fireplace sipping Abuelo rum. That and a half bottle of Alleve will make you sleep good.

This is the kinda crap you do when you retire.

Cold it may have been...but the surf was killa in RI yesteday. Best swell of the year (in my opinion) due to the low offshore wind. Unfortunatelu...running the stove now...

It's Hailing here in Staten Island...

...gonna make the call later today to get the boat yanked out. Haven't used since I went Fluke'n a few months ago, a tank of fuel to Fire Island and a tank to get back and that about sumed up my Boating for this year...guess thats it for me in the 2010 boating season...

Dad got an extension on his boating season bringing his boat down to Florida with him. He hasn't been able to get out and use it....it's been blow en good since he arrived...he still calls daily to tell me how cold it is there...

Harry sorry to hijack your thread.....

Thought our surfing brothers would get a charge out of this one.

BTW, watching the guy in action is unbelievable. Photo is at Sebsatian Inlet between heats at a contest. Looks like we're bros??

Randall ...
best surfer I have seen close up was Tripp Paterson at beach lane one day .... he WOWed the crowd and let them asking "who was that masked man"?
Funny ... my son Miles is a look alike to Tripp, less 4-5 yrs. One Saturday nite, I started to the other end of an "establisment" (La Superica-Sag Harbor - best margarittas East End) to ask my son what he was doing in there, only to realized half way down the bar that it was Tripp and not Miles.
Tripp thought it funny too.

bertramp........i've surfed at one time or another with every great long island surfer....some many times. heres how it is. only ricky rasmussen was truly world class. when i worked at snowbird i skied everyday with some of the hottest locals on the planet, BUT then they had a pro downhill. we went skiing with those guys. NIGHT AND DAY. the same with surfing. watching kelly slater surf and maybe another 100 guys on the planet is apples and oranges to a hot local........and the bigger it gets the more apparent it is. i was surfing overhead waves in montauk 30 years ago when i thought i was a hot local. a guy named buzzy kerbox paddled out. after he rode a few waves i paddled in so i could sit on the beach and watch!!
