My office in downtown sj  is normally a pretty desolate place after dark, actually with the hobos living in the guadalupe creepin around all night its really kinda shady. 

Been grinding all day and barely got to leave, as im driving out if the lot theres about 100 souless beings walking around aimlessly and  bumping into each other in the park accross the street.  Turns out theyre all just playing pokemon go lol.

Wtf is happening to society.

Who else is in?







Gentlemen.......the time is upon us.  Let us discuss the matters of our 3rd annuall celebration of joy, goodwill toward our fellow man and semi-drunken buffonery.

Just to recap.....for those new and those not manly enough to have partaken in past events....

Year one we celebrated at pizza and pipes in Santa Clara.  We essentially invaded the joint spending hours eating pizza, drinking beer and, the highlight of the night, watching a half dozen warriors risk an ungodly night of digestion in the big ass pizza challenge.  You've never experienced sympathy till you've stared into the desparate face of a person that's halfway into eating a pizza the same diameter as bro dozer tire.  I can't remember if it was sc trace or dry bones but one of them reigned supreme. 

Year two was Harry's hofbrau.....where a bus load of senior citizens arrived for dinner at 3 pm and ate all the ribs before we got there.  The rest of the grub was still pretty awesome and Antonio almost engaged in fisticuffs when some old bird wasn't respectful of the ncka reserved table and tried to move in on our territory.  Some claim he would have mopped the floor with the old gal but she had fire in her belly, I think she would have put up a few good rounds.  Later we had an awesome white elephant in which that jerk Pablito scored the sweetest  I Heart Pandora shirt you ever laid eyes on.  The rest of the night was a blur but the drinks flowed and the women trolled.

So what say you ncka......where shall we host event #3?

Shall we do it on a saturday to give out of towners a shot at attending? If so, which day?

Post Party entertsinment?  Should we find that salty old hag and have her bare knuckle fist fight CDM in the parking lot?

(On a semi-related note.....I tried to find a midget tossing service but apparently it's illegal in some states and generally frowned upon by society.....wtf.....if a midget consents or is compensated, shouldn't they decide whether or not they shall be thrown head first into a freakin target. What happened to letting man decide his destiny....get it together USA....off soapbox)



Any way.....let's start spit ballin some ideas people.

Some scumbags littered the beach with their garbage and I had to clean up after them.

These are yours if you want em.....
 
Two pairs of shoes.....


Some really odd backpack straps.....


And a spam flavored cliff bar. 



Pm me if you want any of this stuff or it's goin to the landfill

I bought this boat from headwaters as a project boat.  It was a demo yak that sustained significant damage when a customer didn't tie it down to his rack before driving away.  Angle was in Lodi picking up the green machine (sitting next to mine on the beach).  I bought it sight unseen after Dan gave me a run down of the damage.  I'm glad he extended the offer.....this boat is slick.

It sat in the garage for a few months before I started hacking away it with a knock off fein and various dull razored utility knives.  From there on it was fun with fiber and methylcrylate.....good times.

There were multiple cracks in the stern of the hull.  I wanted it bombproof, so I took it a notch beyond.  Cut a partial chunk off the deck, between the handle and stern to get at the backside of the crack.  Glassed over the inside.  Reinforced the two sidewalls where the deck would hang over the hull.  Drilled a hole at the end of each crack, put a bevel the whole length of the crack to increase the bonding area and filled the cracks from the outside.  Put two plates beneath the area where the deck would have seams.   Used a thickened glass fiber/methylcrylate mixture to fill in all the voids. 









Expert color matching.....


New life.....




Since it was a demo.....it had a sticker on it that said "DEMO"......which earned it the nickname, the demon....,or el demon in espanol.  In the tradition of naming your craft after the fine ladies you encounter as a man of the sea.....I'm gonna keep the demon name as a tribute to my ex.  Unlike her, these yaks are easy to fix and worth keeping around. 

I had a meeting in Sonoma County mid November and ran through the City, crossed the gate to and from.

Sunday I check my mail and Find a notice from FasTrak with red warning bars and immediate attention notices accross the front. 


Shazaaaam! Toll Evasion baby, notice date of 1/2/15, I owe $7.00 for the toll and $25 for being a scumbag scofflaw. 



My initial reaction....wtf, never got my 1st notice, which I was waiting for. Monday, go to mailbox. Sure enough, there's my bill for the Bridge Toll, dated 1/5/15. 



And mailed to me the day after they send me a $32 bill for being a scum.  Sweet.




Obviously I will contest......or will I?

Just got off the phone with the number on the back of the notices, according to the automated phone message, FasTrak is too busy to answer my call and directs me to the  website.   

I'll be emailing them shortly I wonder if they'll figure out the coded swear words I include letting them know what I think of their service.

Used minor scuffs and scrapes. Still in good cond.  11'7"

To wide for me to lay down on this beast and paddle prone......perfect for any aspiring custodians

Asking what I paid for it $500 obo

I have too many toys that just don't get used anymore. Gonna be posting a few items for sale. 

Up first:

9' perception Jazz
Bought it for my daughter and it was a great paddler for her.  I've also used it as a light weight, quick in and out yak for ab diving.

It's got your normal scuffs, scratches and could use a good scrubbing but its a solid little yak. 

Sold..........keep checking, got more random stuff coming.
