Happy Happy Amigo! Keep up the stories, so good to see posts that can make everyone smile. Question, is your ‘neighborhood’ as wet/rainy as Seattle? All photos seem to depict good/great consistent weather. John

Thanks, John.

Best way to check weather in my old neighborhood is to check weather for Sooke.

Being on the Strait and closer to the western end the weather can be quite variable, but probably not much different from Seattle in the long run.

It's a capricious spot and overrun with surfers these days I'm told. The mere mention of a SE wind blows it out quickly and it takes some time to recover. It recovers quickly when a westerly wind dies off though.

Photos always look better in good weather which is why they always show good weather, 'cause that's when they're taken. LOL

Take care.

Thanks for the wishes.

Still freaks me out that this is my last year with a 7 in front of my age.

It's been fun getting here, that's for sure.

Damn shoulder-hoppers.

Enough to **** off an old man.

Still a fond memory and I wish JVD (shoulder-hopper) was still alive so I could hassle him a bit more.


Thanks again.



Take care.
