Pickleball/Bungee boarding round two.

Last night i was pretty tired from rowing out to Long Island, but decided to go out with Kim to Steve's barn to play some pickle ball. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball Steve's barn is pretty amazing, the downstairs woodshop's got everything... the upstairs has a full pickle ball court, basketball hoop, jam space with a drum set, guitars, etc. I guess way back in the day Steve used to have a 6ft miniramp, then his barn burnt down. But he says he wants to rebuild a ramp, and he's got more than enough space to make it happen.

Today school was good as usual, things are starting to get a lot easier. Also got an email with tracking numbers for the CNC Mill that's on its way. Randy Bloom stopped in to my room first thing in the morning rambling on about how he's been in town for so and so many years and he never made the paper, but i've been here two weeks... ha. There was a full front page article in Chinook Observer's Life section about the whole bungee surfing thing, with a bunch of photos.

Talked to Chris at pickle ball about going out today, so got a call just as school was getting out. Jules, Nick, and Darren were across the river. But Chris and i went out regardless, Steve joined us a little later. The waves were pretty big today, and it was high tide when we went out. Initially the challenge was making it over a few short waves to get to a big break, then do a slasher, or launch off the wave. We were all getting tossed left and right, especially Steve. He went head over heels a few times, ha. I managed to get a real good BS slash on this wave that was pretty far out. Steve took off, so Chris and i kept at it, experimenting with different angles/directions. Chris was going out just as normal when he took a spill that didn't look any worse than others... When he got up he was holding his hand. After a few minutes of trying to figure out what was wrong, i went out to grab the anchor, and we brought everything in. He's pretty sure he broke his hand, and went to go get it checked out. Sketchy...

Anyways, here's some random pictures i've taken.

Foggy morning with some birds in my backyard. Tide heading out, or coming in?


Took this when i rode my bike up to the northern end of the peninsula.


The bay, about 5 miles north of my house. Oysterville harbor to the left.


Not sure what lighthouse this is. Leadbetter State Park.
