Left CB on Tuesday morning around 4a, hit a white out up on 26, and then heavy rain all the way to Ashland….. that is where I last used my visa card, at the union 76 station on the east side of I-5, last exit …… hit snow on top of Mt. Ashland, then rain most of the way to San Francisco. Got to Mark’s apt. around 3:30p, so waited until he got home from work, to catch up with the life of MC…… always amazes me that this young man is my son… quality guy! Takes after his mother! So then we checked the old man in at the hotel, met up with Danni, his girlfriend, and had a very nice dinner at Maxi’s, up the street from the hotel. Hit the bed by 9p, and hit the road the following morning by 4a heading south….. the “living dead” were walking around the streets….. not pretty!! Kept the doors locked and weapons ready…… Hit Pismo around 6:30a, surf was small , so I kept heading south…. looked at all the spots, nothing looked good….. but, by the time I got to Huntington Beach, the visa people were callling me to let me know that I was ordering tons of stuff on the internet…. and, since I was driving, this was bad……. so, some schmuck got the visa number, my name, and the address off the van….. and tried to order me all kinds of fun stuff…. too bad the only ones hurt are the companies that are trying to ship the stuff to me….. so, the card was canceled, and all charges were denied….. finally had time to meet with Bob Bolen, the Greek, and see all the neat stuff he is working on for this year, and, ordered a couple more boards to be picked up later….. spent some time with Shea at Dewey Weber’s shop, and picked up a couple boards there…… got one of the new 9’0 quads….. nice!! then off to Lost, loaded up with 4 of their boards….. stopped by to flip the Pierre at Linden some crappola… then went to look for a wave….. small and blown out….. so, got a hotel…. too tired to drive or sit in anymore traffic…… going to try for some surf in the morning…….
