No real rants today…. actually has been a nice weekend here….. Ireland beat England in the big Rugby match, and today the Canadians play the American’s in Hockey…..I would like to have a 2 for 2 weekend!! yep, you figure it out…… Oh yea…. how is it that a senator / congressman in Washington can make about $150,000 a year, and in a matter of 10 years, be a millionaire????? just how does that work??? I need to get one of those guys to be our investment councilor……..

We had the PD in Seaside and Cannon Beach warning people about staying off the beach between 2:30 and 3:30p….. just took these shots…….. I have been watching the live feeds from Hawaii, since around 1p, and from an email I just got from Dennis over there, “they closed the roads and beaches here. So far just tide surges”…… haven’t seen anything here yet either….and, I hope it stays that way, both here and in Hawaii………. Buoy reports at 10a was 8.2ft @ 11 sec’s WSW. The report from 2p was WSW 8.9ft @ 8-11 sec’s, water temp. 51.3…….. sun has been out here……
Have a great evening!!!

A few visitors blogs this morning….. This one from Gordonite,,,, good job!!! Went up to Indian early yesterday with my trimmers and saw. Trees have been across trail to beach since Nov. storm.Also blocking dog bags in parking lot. Sure miss John. I’ll leave trimmings for new Ranger to clean up.
This one from Marcus, asking about the Linden “pretty much” model; I agree completely. More aloha can’t ever hurt…
Mark, have you sold any Linden Pretty Much boards? If so, would you mind passing on my email to these customers. I’m curious about how they ride.
This one from Craig….they just had twins….. Huge surprise to me, I actually got in the water for an hour today at avenue U. Inside reforms, but some nice little rides nonetheless. didn’t think I’d see the water again for 2-3 months. Took the twins for a walk on the prom and a nap in the sea air, their first of many. Looking forward to getting them in the water in 3-4 years. I’ll train my son to provide some nose balste. Ride a few for me in the meantime. Hope all stays well at CB surf. Thanks Mark

From LJ in Montana Mark…..
WOW.. wonderful picture today. At least we got to see the sun here in Montana today. Again, thanks for taking the time to put that up it looked like a great day!
Happy waves….
And of course, the latest update on Marcus’ wasabi farm…… This past week was a perfect week. This weekend on the farm was no exception. Sunshine, smiles, progress, sunshine, did I mention sunshine?
Many of you have responded to these emails with words of encouragement and praise. I don’t always get back to you. I’d like to say a collective Thank You. Much of this work has been a leap of faith to say the least. Your enthusiasm and encouragement has helped quite a bit; you are wonderful friends and family.
Bows are up and it finally looks like a greenhouse. The braces that hold the bows together (not pictured) require drilling overhead on tall ladders and doing so nine times per bow with 20 bows per greenhouse. My shoulders are tired and as I type, I’m dogging for one more day of this.
Next week: pumphouse, lumber and interior irrigation – maybe and hopefully!
PS – and yes, any excuse to use the backhoe!
