I lived 1/2 block from the beach in 1972, on Santa Monica ave in the green cottages, mine was the last one from the street next to the alley, $125 a
month. I roofed all day and came home and surfed OB everyday. Allthough I lived there over 2 years we never ate at Hodads, it was just a greasy spoon
back then. But I do remember breakfast every sunday at Margaritas on Newport and the Black.

We are currently watching tropical storm Miriam spinning well offshore from Mainland Mexico, which is gradually strengthening and tracking NW, soon to
be in the SoCal swell window. If Miriam stays on track to the forecast, then we'll see a decent pule of SSE tropical swell (155-170 deg) build into
Southern CA over Tuesday and top out Wed/Thurs+. Stay tuned and be sure to check out HURRICANE TRAK for all tropical swell info.
That meeting with South Swell and Northwest (it's alive!!!!!!!!!) means O'side is gonna be peaky and bowling!!!!!!!!

It's still a greasy spoon but the stoners in OB seem to worship it for some reason.

well Miriam was a hot topic at the Brat-fest in Campo Sirena tonight...hosted by a Loreto Nomad...un friggin believable BBQ'd brats complete with
saurkraut(sp?) and potato salad....and everyone was pretty concerned about hot Miriam would affect their travel plans. Folks decided to head out early
to get back to Loreto before the storm...others may decide to ride it out here....
AND, we had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh...wide angle wandering... and his Australian body guards.
It's all about the food....tomorrow's menu is already planned....shrimp tacos at 10, sashimi when Big Boy gets in from fishing, and BBQ'ed fish for
dinner...yellowtail or perhaps a nice grilled dorado...yeah baby!

I'm kinda hoping for a hurricane party. You guys know how to do it right!
After several rough days in San Felipe / Gonzaga / Bahia de LA I'm glad to be enjoying the good food, good weather and great company out here in
Asuncion.

Ahem....the models are making us a wee bit uneasy...my mind is racing to figure out all the prep we must make in the next few days...roof patching,
window caulking, securing stuff, rolling in awnings, getting plywood for our nice new windows...crap...the swell is going to be INSANE! Remind me NOT
to play in the blowhole por favor.
Here is this mornings news....the red X is us! Miriam is looking like she may get rather worked up and in a snit the next few days as this forecaster
commented in the middle of his night shift last night. I highly suggest folks think seriously about travel plans for mid week on......da da da DUN!

this is pretty much how the models looked for Jimena and John too...oh oh...it never really got here cause it decided Mulege was a better place to
eat.
But as the old folks say here...ya just never really know with a hurricane so best be prepared. Because the last few deviated and headed to the gulf,
people have become rather complacent thinking the storms just wont get here...lets hope but be prepared anyway.
It WILL certainly give everyone something new to talk about this week.
