This happened at ~10:45 last night. I'm not sure if they were drunk or clueless or both.

Line X’d the valance on my truck. After 130k, the front looked like it had been pummeled with gravel. We’ll see if it I like it later.

Saw a guy launching these giant bubbles a few evenings ago while out walking along the coast.

From a visit two years ago to the mountains of Austria - There is a lot to be said for the elegant simplicity of a wooden buck. People of skill designed the shapes, built the wooden forms, and hammered sheets of aluminum against the curves to form body panels. Just as each snowflake has its unique identity, each panel ended up being different. This example was not used in period, but built in 1984 based on original designs to showcase the craftsmanship required to give birth to a Porsche 356.

^Fantastic craftsmanship there!^

Spent 5 days last week up on Ross lake, 20+ year tradition that is always interesting and good for unplugging from the news cycle as well as restorative effects.

Last year the lake did not refill from snowmelt/spring rains so I had to rent a boat rather than portage in my trusty 1980 Lund with 20 HP outboard.

This year the lake was full full full, so in with the Lund and a good 70 miles of lake travel!
My boat was the only non-resort boat we saw... it takes at least 4 strong individuals to pick up and carry the distances needed to be portaged up from Diablo lake.

Weather was off and on, much cooler and more rain than normal, no use of swim trunks, good use of rain gear.

We usually have 5 peeps and spend 3 nights camping, 2 in the Resort... this year with CV they are having lots of folks just not show- so we got the opportunity for 3 nights in the floating cabin, with lots of rain I jumped on that!!

Tried out my latest camera purchase, a DJI Osmo with built in gimbal and electronic stabilization.

Takes pretty good stills too!

Planning climbing Little Jack- only 5896' on top, but 5 hard miles of not so clear trail and 4000' of upward motion.

My best buddy going on 44 years now at the May creek dock, camp is just 30 yards away


One of several falls that drop right into the lake


Did someone order rain?


Resort dock shenanigans


More falls, Ross dam and Pyramid peak


Testing low light gathering abilities of the Osmo


And again...
The resort has been building these wooden boats from one pattern they bought about 70 years ago, they do very well with a 15HP motor through almost anything a 23 mile long lake with a habit of high winds being generated in the afternoons can dish out. Expect a good pounding coming back South through the whitecaps.
