have you looked into storage units? i have my revo's in in storage unit in san jose which is very inexpensive (50/mth).  not sure about the rates out there.

Honestly, a storage unit is probably the only rational solution at the moment, beyond someone wanting to make like $100/month to rent me some space in their garage! 

However, I'm EXTREMELY averse to storage units for a variety of reasons, many of which are purely focused on the resentment I still harbor after $35,000 worth of welding equipment was stolen from my storage unit. After literally years of litigation, I never got a dime back (my younger days).  Folks prey on storage units, hanging out and watching, seeing what people have.  Kayaks are definitely pretty hard to steal, but not that much harder than a few fullsize Millermatic MIG and TIG machines.

It's mostly irrational harbored resentment, I know, but even subsequent rentals I've always found frustrating, especially the limited access hours.  It's not conducive to an early start if you can't even load up until 7am!

sorry to hear about your welding equipment. 

i do have renter's insurance as everyone should.  it's a small price to pay for a peace of mind.

the hours can be inconvenient, but i pick up the kayak the day before fishing day even if they were open 24/7.  kayak get's locked onto the truck rack and into the apt parking garage they go for an easy morning.

Just in case you haven't seen this... this is the spreadsheet maintained by BASK members for kayak storage in the bay area.  It might give you a few new leads: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FnwI4gvYIy_K6eIGdpZE0khw2m4yT-JDboCauq3hGvo/edit#gid=0

Price Drop!

Figured I would add my recent experience with the first shot from Pfizer.  First and foremost, I went to the new Kaiser vaccine center down on 10th St in Oakland.  Class act.  I was in and out in under 18 minutes with the 15 min observation period. 

Painless shot, moved my arm all day and had no arm pain.  Next day my arm was actually quite sore.  The more I used it, the better, but if I didnt use it for an hour it was quite tender.  After 3rd day no arm pain. 

I had no other symptoms of anything.  Slept great, lots of energy, no headaches or anything odd. 

My fiance had Moderna and was actually quite sick for 2 days with her second shot.  She had to take it off from work it was so bad.  Pfizer is supposedly not as severe. 

I guess I should mention I'm 37.  I've been noticing a distinct pattern amongst friends and family that the younger you are, the stronger your immune response is on the 2nd shot.  My folks and friends above 60 yrs old have all had almost zero symptoms on the first and second shot of Moderna and Pfizer, except a sore arm. 

My friends in their early 30's and late 20's seem to be hit the hardest, having to take 2-3 days off work.  I'm due again April 1st, quite curious what happens.

I wonder why I don't.
