R, Dan and Dave came down this past weekend. Besides the requisite Halo, Winner, surfing, and tasty food/drink, we were on a mission to clear the rocks out of the second terrace. It's difficult to describe the size of the task. But I should add that Dan cleared out the three juniper stumps that confounded the other two a year ago. Also the pier for the late satellite dish was hammerdrilled down to size.

The surf session at Fletcher's was pretty exciting. Cleanout sets in September, E says he had an overhead. Warm water, too.



Now that the lower portion of the wall is exposed, I'm inclined to give it a fresh layer of paint since that light blue and tile is ugly. I'm inclined to go very dark green to match the house/deck trim and work well with the red brick.

We planted some grass seeds and I'm keeping it very damp. Out front I've set up the drippers - keeping them pretty close together. They do a good job of wetting down the whole area. I just need to partially bury them, though the grass will do a good job of that.

AN IMAGINARY COMPILATION ALBUM : #302: ANGEL - THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN

An unplanned ICA. One with a difference. And in all honesty, one that doesn't hang perfectly but it might spark off some ideas among all of you out there. I was loading up Angel Interceptor for yesterday's posting when I noticed that the hard drive contained many examples of songs called Angel. There's even more...
