Enough Already

Please, make it stop: "Marine warning issued for Leeward O'ahu," "O'ahu under flash flood warning."

Yucky

It's rainy and cold outside with thunder and lightning. Terrible weather. Gonna take a break today. Just can't do it.

Someone who sees me going surfing every day told me yesterday that I'm a "diehard" as he watched me load my board into the car. He was standing in his doorway protected from the rain, gave me the thumbs-up, and said, "I like that." I don't know if he was being sincere. I thought perhaps really he wanted to bust out laughing.

Pretty-good conditions and about 1-2 and crowded. Angry-looking clouds moving in from the west.

Kook

I bombed out: 4th (out of 4) in the first round and eliminated. Just like that--out, done, driving home, see ya, goodbye.

SE Corner

They're running the event at Sandy's. Decided to be a no-show for the Open because I was feeling lazy, and it looked gloomy outside, and I figured the waves probably suck anyway. Got a first-hand report later around 9:00 that there's something out there, about 3-feet. The Senior isn't scheduled until 1:45, so I'll take my time and mosey on over at my leisure. Afterward, might surf elsewhere in Town--depends how I feel. But we all know how that will probably end.

Stupid Is

Drove all the way to Haleiwa this morning so I could find out the event had been cancelled. Didn't feel like calling the hotline, you know? Much better to find out first-hand. This is the third or fourth time this has happened.

There's definitely some new energy, about 1-2. Supposed to be west-y, but I think it's more S-SE.

It's amazing that it's sunny here but that a State of Emergency has been declared for the east side. It has barely rained at my place.
