new flippers

I had hoped to get a new surf mat but they're not in vogie anymore. I settled for some new flippers, or fons, that I have just christened on all surf at One Mile Beach. The waves were hard to crack, but the fins helped &_being on the water was a blast.
This tam beach is popular with tourists & learning surfers,_so it has a relaxed, dorky & cosmopolitan vibe
 But I kind of enjoy the chill, fin feeling Jere when compared to chic uptight cloyong/claustrophobic  of my old local break. 
Yesterday i had a bad tumble. At the risk of sounding like an old crony, ... O wasowing up a steep bank beside my"driveway" when my old boots lost their tempus grip on the planet. For a few milliseconds o did the cartoon thing of running fast and going nowhere, then the weight of the mower, its wheels were skidding too, came back at me. and I lost it. I recall rolling saodeways & backwards onto a very rocky surface & shitting myself over. breaking  bones. I copped a few ñce bangs before I looked and heard said mower coming ate at greater speed
I raisedy arm to protect 
Myself, only to get a. Amg on the forearm followed quickly by a crack on the head. I then got shot backwards again.
 before coming to rest spread on the ground cuddling mower. I looked down, my hand l
holding the slope was halfway under the mower  deck, thanking the blade cutput echamism.I checked for blood, none. Bones? O could feeltemdermess on a few spots but nothing registered as broken. As I got up to switch the mower off, o felt a sharp pang on mybtpp right rib. Well, that hurts, possibly broken, probably cracked &/I had no clue as to how it happened. 
So today, worried about raidsong my right arm to swim, I was glad of the water's cold temperature and that it felt pretty OK. Not painless, just not a lot of pain.

honestly

this week we've been discovering honesty because there's been little of it previously,  apparently.  in times past some lazy fool bought a gamers console to ruin any chance of communication,  self discipline and creativity.   after having it charged and discussing it's need to remain at home it got confiscated by a teacher.     Compounding the problem was the web of lies being generated to avoid reality and make himself look ok.  be like: - left it at school.  - can't remember,  i have a bad memory.  - (after being told i was meeting his principal next week) oh yes the teacher might have put it somewhere.  - to,  yes it was confiscated.  - i took it because my mate wanted to see it.      so we had many lies; - agreeing not too take it. - taking it.  - claiming it was lost.  - denying it had been confiscated.  - claiming he had memory loss. - the teacher misplaced it. - i didn't want to take it,  my mate asked me to.  so there, seven lies and a truckload of damage to

Stbd. Rudder & Tiller

Image
 It's apparent the tiller is built from four pieces  of 6mm ply, constructed inn a box pattern.  Fortunately each piece is sealed inside & out. The rot is limited to the top piece & at this stage that has been removed for most of its length.   The Rudder looks as though it had been snapped or fractured at some point.  Since then,  that part and the head have been laid up in fibreglass.  The effect of this at the head of the blade are that it locked on moisture & is totally rotted out.  This all is not a big issue.  I pretty well knew there was root there when I bought Knu , and frankly gouging out the rot is deeply satisfying.  It will be so much more satisfying to overhaul these pieces & have them looking better & ready for a storm.

child immorality

today I seed to be picking up a trail of clothes, open doors, empty food containers and so on, left by my foster son. leaving the toothpaste out, was the last straw so I designed a story with a message.  a fellow staying in a large motel evacuated his room because the mattress was on fire. he walked out calmly standing on the street watching the motel catch fire while hundreds of patrons ran screaming from the building as it was razed to the ground.  the man overheard two exhausted fire chiefs discussing the cause of the blaze. He listening passively for some time, and heard his room identified as the start of the fire. He stood forwards and affirmed that indeed that was the case and stated that his mattress had caught fire. when asked whether he has started the fire, he uttered the famous line: " no, it was already on fire when I sat on it ".  I allowed my foster son to understand the personal distress and property loss caused by the fire, and of the man's decision to qu
