Friday Evening - April 26

Near repeat of Thursday - swell was the same but the wind was light and on shore.  I used the short mast again and I moved the foil back a notch.  That cut the breaching in half (but still had some - I'm crediting those with not enough front foot pressure - too much surfer in me...).  I took a couple of waves from the mid lineup all the way to the shoreline (with some margin for not grounding) so I would call today a move forward day for sure.

Marlon was rocking the Wavestorm again - he's been knee paddling it so when I glass his board, I'll reinforce the deck area so he can knee paddle that board (I really need to spend some time on that project).

And the resident peacock was large and in charge - it let me take a few pictures before running off to address another part of its territorial obligations.

Cool Stuff at the Local Pet Shop

With a conure and a chameleon at the house now, we find ourselves visiting our local pet shop more frequently.  They have been bringing in some really cool stuff lately.  These clownfish were almost pure black!

I have pictures of Marlon doing this when he was much younger

I'm trying to cycle a container to house some of these shrimp.  Watching lawn mowers is pretty relaxing

I guess I'd bite too if I lived in a cage full time, but then if I didn't maybe I wouldn't bite, but then if I just bite for the heck of it....

Kinda looks like the new rebooted Godzilla -

You Can See Everything at the National Aviary

Good thing I had the "talk" already - makes times like this way less awkward and more a "circle of life" thing. This is a Victoria Crowned Pigeon pair - apparently the largest species of pigeon in the world.
