golf day

The Sat. count was 11, there were two more sited after Puttzle left. ( or was it 12?) Anyway surf was small with the low tide making it very lined up and closing out, so off to the golf course for my Monday morning Back 9 with my golf buddies. There's always hope for surf tomorrow, but lately we see the pattern. During the week NO SURF, come the weekend SURF, when do the Talegalites get to surf ? Thats right on the weekend!!!! You can hear them mooing as they stampede in their brightly colored wetsuits to the water, oh! if only Sparky and Fluffy were around. Maybe I'll have to go golfing at the Talegalites golf course and leave some big divits and maybe about half way down the fairway step out right infront of one of them when he is about to Tee off and drop a ball and start to play it right infront of him towards the same green, you know, kinda like dropping in on someone at SanO! GET IT GUYS! Well so much for the lighter side, more later!

NEW BLOG

NEW SAN ONOFRE RELATED BLOG.

Left early

Saw Puttzle leaving as I drove down Old PCH, got to the gate parked and walked down to look. It was small bumpy and crumbly. Went home and went to the golf course for my Thursday golf match. Maybe the surf and weather will be better in the morning. Till then always remember these great words, Ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong!

No Go

Well I didn't go in, I was working myself up to suit up because there were some pretty good looking waves at times, then it started to rain lightly and I immediately flashed on Utah and Talega getting scared I jumped into my truck and fled to Lowes to do some shopping and when checking out quess who was in front of me at the checkstand, Emery at the gate. He's been doing some construction work and been giving his days away. He said his new board is all waxed up and ready but he has been to busy to surf. He left before we could discuss politics (oh darn). Well more later, tomorrow is another day. Golf tomorrow, unless its raining, then it might be (and I use the word MIGHT loosly) surfing!

So there

OK, now I contributed. See you in the morning. (oh, and for Dingo, arf woof snarl growl bark)!

Where I'm I?

What happened? All I remember is pulling up to the gate this morning and Dingo distracting me, then suddenly Iwas grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground and then someone forcing 7-11 Kahlua coffee down my throat. When I came to, I found myself at the beach and looking for toilet paper to start a fire. After starting the fire I looked out to the line-up and saw Peetor hopping grumpy, I WAS BACK! The surf was not quite as good as yesterday but, it looked fun. The talegalites were out in force. When I got home I threw my SAKAL 7' 8" fish in my camper as well as my 8' SAKAL fun board. Poche was not going off this morning so home to watch golf (which is in fog delay). I would like to thank Puttzle, Dingo, Dingo's man person, and of course Ralph(sell me your egg) for saving me from the Mormons and the Talegalites, although it will be tough to pass a Starbucks without crying.

Poche reef

I hate to say it but the outer reef at Poche was going off this morning when I got home and not a sole out. I will probably be growing an extra ear or leg or something but I've been out of the water for too long, I couldn't help my self . I only surfed about an hour before these old muscles gave out but it was worth it! No Talegalites, no kooks (except for me) , no hoppers and no Weber guys either! EAT YOUR HEART OUT! Perfect conditions, glassy smooth no bumps and some double overhead sets, but the best part is the great big channel to paddle out without even getting your hair wet! I did get caught inside twice, what a bummer. Puttzle did get the wave of the day this morning, from the Point to the Lifeguard tower at Old Mans, it was awsome!!!!!

MURPHY UPDATE!

He was seen speeding on pico in his SUV, yakking on his cell phone, not using his turn signals while careening into the Starbucks parking lot with two missionary's in the back seat. Approximately 23 minutes later he was seen doing the same maneuver at the Starbucks across the street, this time with 3 Escalades full of yuppies from the Talega golf club. This report was verified by several anonymous sources who witnessed the same thing. Time for a intervention before it's too late.

From the gate

As Puttzle said, the conditions were perfect but the surf was small again. How ever, I just got a call from our favorite Gold Metal Irishman that the surf again began to come up as the tide filled in. He said at times it was head high on him so, we know that the sets were about waist high ( just kidding ,we love you T-zone). Went and played golf, (surprise) great guys to golf with. The Sat. count was 13, I saw one just as Puttz was leaving. Well I have to go put on my' Leather' with my captains cap and paddle, my wife should be home any time. Stay tuned for another adventure in that dashing soap opera " FROM THE GATE"! Same bat time, same bat channel.

Mormon invasion

There was a Mormon invasion (or should I say Moron invasion) at the lower gate this morning. About 5:45am this morning everyone as usual is lined up at the gate waiting for the ranger to come and open up for the day, when this truck comes down the road right past the line of autos and pulls right up to my camper lights a blaring blinding everyone trying to watch for Sats. so I say low get &%@#*& in line with the rest of us and this little pudgy gay gets out of his truck and gets right in my face and starts yelling about you F _ _ _ ing califorians are a-- holes and thats why he moved to Utah to get away from them, right then he wants to come to the beach and do what the hell he wants so I told him again to go get in line and he gets in his truck drives up to the end of the line and hangs 1/2 a u-turn and blocks the road in both directions. Just then the ranger shows up and tells him he has to get out of the way, this guy by now is fumming! Then poor Puttzle didn't have his keys in and ready to go so about 1/2 dozen cars sneek past him and you heard the rest from him. more later.

what a day

As you know already puttzle and I were at the lower gate, the Ranger showed up late to open the gate and would you believe she even said she was sorry for being late, we all know which one I 'm talking about, she is a great person and should be treated with respect. And, well I did golf this morning and no sooner got home and was getting out of my camper when my cell phone rang and it was chicken neck wanting to know if I wanted to play golf, well I went back to the course and played another 18 holes. I'm going to bed to see you at the gate( hope the sky is clear).

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

The mayors office it back on the road! Dam splice got wet and after all these years finally crusted up inside so bad current was no longer able to pass through. Fix? Just a new splice and the lights went on!!!! It only took me two days of testing with a volt meter. And like puttzle said not much surf, but golf was fun as always. Great long tee shots but then my short game went to H&#%@! Well got things to do now that the office is up and running, I'll be at the gate brite and early (if it doesn't rain) and watching the heavens. Hope to see a few of you there. (very few get it)

WHAT A MESS

Good morning all, went down to San-O late this morning and took a walk, our poor beach looks like the Oregon or Washington coast, every tree stump, branch, piece of bambo and trash has washed up on the beach and as far as the eye can see in both directions it looks like a Beaver has been at work damming up the shore line. The water is so dirty it will be days after this stops before the water will be enterable. If we can dry some of this wood out we could have fire wood for months. Sorry it just struck me, we have no fire-pit its washed down the slop to the water. I've got to get back to my black ant infestation I've just about got them under control. More later. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Ball Cap Lost

Well we know it rained again last night , but what a RAIN! I don't know about you but the thunder and lightening storm was unbelievable! Went to San-O late again but I took the camper. I was the only one there so I put on my rain gear and walked down to see the storm damage. The tide was very high and the surf (thank goodness) was small. I walked all the way down to dog-patch along the beach finding toys that had been let before the storm or that had washed up during. On the back it started to rain so I took my ball cap off and tucked it into my rain jacket and put on this big yellow rain hat. I started to get rather warm in that get-up and was hurrying to get back to the camper to get out of the suit. As I removed the jacket I noticed my ball cap wasn't in there, I franticly looked all over the inside of the camper NOT HERE! I pulled my rubber boots back on and my sweat shirt and headed back down the road. As I passed our shower at the Point I saw my ball cap laying in the road where the Hawaiian Surf Club parks. I WAS STOKED!!!! I grabbed my hat put it on my head just in time because it stated to really rain hard, so I ran back to the camper and headed home. Alittle about the traffic later.

What Rain again?

Again I arrived late at San-O, but with the wind and rain there was no reason to hurry down. Now we know who the true dedicated locals are, Dingo, his man-person Craig, Ralph and of course Puttzle and myself. What we need to do is find a Cafe' to go to when the weather is bad and have coffee, hot chocolate, tea or what ever and sit a nice warm place and talk before we go home. We'll just have to look around and check things out. (the light just went on) we can go to Boogies at the golf course, its close to San-O and its got good food and plenty of coffee. Its something to think about! More from the Mayors Office later.

No recall please

Well as you know I didn't show up yesterday at San-O and showed up late today, but I did show! The ranger said they were starting to worry because its not like me not to show. The weather sucks but we do need the rain. If it wasn't for the dirty water it might have been fun at Bamboozles there were some fun looking peaks with both rights and lefts and breaking in close so the paddle would have been easy. Our fire pit might not make it through the storm but thats ok because we could use a new one anyway! It was kind of nice down there because there was no Talegalites, but we know as soon as the storm passes they'll be back. Tom the starter at the golf course told me today that Talegalites are even flocking into Churches and being pesty there also with no wave ediquette and no brains. I think most people wouldn't mind them if they show some respect for others , but all they care about is themselves. They seem to think that their enjoyment is all that matters with out any reguard for someone elses fun. Talegalites you may think your local because you live in the area, but the real locals have been surfing there long before you were even out of diapers! If you show them respect they will do the same, if you don't you may find your surfing at San-O to be a frustrating nightmare, and remember this, The Point is not a beginner spot! The people who surf there no how to surf so give them respect and don't drop-in and don't take-off way down the line and think its ok, its NOT! Look before you go, if someone is behind you get out of the wave, don't think like so many do and say oh, I hope I gave you enough room, YOU DIDN"T! If you don't care about riding in a pack, go to dog-patch nobody cares there WE DO at the Point! Make everyones surfing fun THINK before you go, respect others on the wave and if your not sure ask a local they are not bad people , just respect them and things will be more fun for everyone.

Have a nice day

Whats his name said it all!!! So have a nice day y'all. I stil ain't learned to spel so grate! Butt my speeking is getin bettur hey mom?

no show

Didn't bother to get up this morning it was raining so hard. I hope Puttzle (see I didn't use your name this time) stayed home I'm sure will hear from him soon. How about that Sugar Bowl Game? Tonights the big one, USC. Well since I can't surf ( I don't surf anyway) I'm going up to Lowes to get the parts to fix my shower door. Just remember, if your surfboard is old and yellowed from the sun and your wetsuit is brand new you might be a Talegalite!

Right as rain

Well it was rainy and wet this morning at the gate, but Puttzle and I were the only ones there. The ranger showed up and opened the upper gate and closed the lower. Puttzle walked down the road to look at the waves, but his report was small and wishy washy so home we went in hopes that tomorrow will be better.

I got wet

The surf looked fun this morning so I suited up and went out (yes I did) but as my luck would have it the waves stopped coming and were so inconsistant I paddled around for an hour and couldn't find one to ride. I could have gone into the crowd but thats not like me so I paddled in. Maybe tomorrow if theres rain and its not affecting the surf conditions otherwise I'm golfing because I promised my friends I would for sure this monday weather permiting. Talegalites were out in force again this morning we just have to hope they burn themselfs out before to long!! Be back at the gate in AM hope to see some of you there, but Talegalites stay HOME!!!!!!!!

Sammy Seagull

We have a new mascot at the Point, its Sammy Seagull. This morning when we started the fire in the firepit this Seagull shows up and started hanging around with the guys. Da Chewster suited up for his go out and came down to the fire to warm up before going out and Sammy was so brazin he walked right up to Chew and started pecking at his toes. He then jumped up on the fire ring just 6 inches from the flames and just stared at the flames without any fear of the fire. I then broke out a tin of kipper snacks (thats herring filets) and he loved them, but he had to fend off some of his brethren to keep his prize. The water was "TOO DIRTY" for me to go in, but maybe tomorrow I'll wait and see if Puttzle and the boys get sick or grow extra arms, legs or eyes. The Talegalites were out in force today they pulled old boards out of the rafters, put on new wetsuites and floundered they way into the surf. They don't have to worry about getting sick, because nothing will have anything to do with them and that includes bacteria. Besides the word Talega to the American Indians means "STUPID"!!!!!!!
