A Day At The Beach

The surf was too big and too many weeds to fish and the surf was too small to surf. This is Ted getting started for a day of skim boarding. He usually falls a few times before he gets the hang of it.
Ted gets the feel of the skim board real fast and is riding like a pro in no time. He can skim board for hours on end. Still no fishing for me.
Here is Sam working on his secret sand sculpture. He would not tell us what he was making. He said we would figure it out when he was completed.
He made himself a sand chair so he could read his book in peace. Sam always says he hates the beach, but on the way home he always says he had a great time.
This is me waiting for the surf to calm and/or the waves to settle down so I can try to catch the last of the Pompano run that has been on the last two weeks. The surf never settled down and the weeds got thicker throughout the day. I guess there is always tomorrow.

We live on a dead end street with a park at the end. We get alot of foot and bicycle traffic every day and alot more on weekends. We see alot of weird stuff sometimes. Yesterday a man and his (approx) one to two year old son rode by on his bike. The man had his son on his shoulders, with no helmet on and not even holding on to the youngster, peddling back and forth. Very dangerous to say the least. I had to go out and say something and he got all pissy telling me to mind my own business.
You need a licence to drive a car, drive a boat and to even get married, but you do not need a license to have and raise children.

Summer is coming very soon, lets get those air conditioning systems cleaned and tuned up before it gets too hot.

Till next time,
Tim
