A photo taken by a friend of mine yesterday as a storm moved in on our beach. This section of beach is where we get the most consistent surf. I live about a 15 minute walk away....

Ventura has had a few good storms in 2016, but nothing as photogenic as Florida's tropical storms. This was an attempt to make repairs from a storm one week earlier.

One of the coolest things I ever experienced was riding my motorcycle across the GGB at night in the fog. I stood up to get away from the lights on the dash and had only the glow of the bridge lamps and the bridge itself disappearing into the mist. This pic just reminded me. Thanks.

I mention this as I too have a new Explorer. It's the first time I've had a right hand filler since my last Benz.

It occurs to me that this is easier to do with a passenger side filler and a trip inside the station for a drink or to use the restroom. You return to the driver's side of the vehicle and drive away, never seeing the hose.

Under the heading of full disclosure, I just did this in my 2016 Explorer. I tried to pay for it and the employee said they have their own crew to fix it and that the parts are usually fine - they are apparently designed for the type of abuse I heaped up it.

Damn fine eats!
