Mountain Oyster Monday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
It's good to be back in Southern California! We had a great time visiting with the cowboys and Idahoans, but the beach is more to our taste. We did get to make it to a branding which was pretty interesting. In fact the branding was pretty much like you'd expect.. What we didn't exactly expect was the castrating that goes along with the branding. Don't worry, it was only on the cows! But damn, if we couldn't walk straight for a couple of hours. When you ask for a bucket of balls on the range, you don't get golf balls!
Overcast this morning with about 12 miles visibility and some drizzlations. Winds were straight out of the north by 1.9kts and the sea surface was smooth. The air temperature is 58.5° and the water is 60.6°. High tide was at 5:07am +3.7' and low tide will be at 11:10am +0.8'. The surf is coming out of the SSW at 208° at 2.3' and we're calling it a barely rideable 1' to 2'.
We saw Easky yesterday and he appears to be recovering well from his lip surgery. NO - no collagen implants! He got a squamous cell patch removed from his lower lip. Turns out they had to remove a considerable amount of tissue.. This has demonstrably cut down on the diameter of his oral orifice! Yes, his pie-hole has been compromised! The good news is that he'll be good as new fairly quickly and his lower lip should stretch back. The bad news is that he might never yodel again...
"When the surf breaks, we'll fix it..."
The Professor!!
