Happy Monday!
Wrecks On Wednesday.
I think someone is line for a promotion after such a fantastic display of his navigation skills. Well done, sir! Mind you, the rangers are pissed that you didn't pay the entrance fee.
Bumper Stickers.
You don't say!
A rare sighting of a former Bay Area baby boomer's vehicle spotted outside my house. (The ones who migrated to the East Bay oasis of Berkeley and then followed their bliss on to New Mexico...sorry Carol Anne and Pat. You know the type I'm talking about.) I wonder, when does the message get lost in the woods?...Mind you, she still has empty space on her roof and sides.
Weekday Wahines.

I need some cheering up after the "close, but no cigar" loss of the 49ers to the Ravens in the Superbowl.
Any excuse, Joe, any excuse!
Have A Great Weekend!
Try and make it out into or onto the water this weekend. See you next week, after the Super Bowl. I'll probably be hung over win or lose. So please don't start mowing the lawn at 6 AM on Monday, That's right, I'm talking to you...you know who you are!
Fish On Fridays. Marlin 1 - Fishermen 0
Marlin sinks boat! Actually, the captain screwed up:
"Not all the details are in, but apparently the captain began backing down on the huge fish, a common practice in big-game fishing when a fish is taking line. He puts the boat in reverse to chase the fish.
One commenter on Marlin Magazine's Facebook post who apparently had some knowledge of the incident said that the captain fell as he was backing down on the fish at full throttle. The boat took on too much water and, finally, there was no correcting the situation.
Marlin Magazine reported that the boat went to the bottom of the sea and everybody on board was rescued by the photo boat. And, of course, the fish got away. "

Those guys are going to have a hell of a fishing tale to tell. For some reason, I don't think the captain will be getting that many charters in the future.
The 3 Bees.
What are they? Take a look at the photo, even though the horizon is tilted.
(note: I've got to speak to the photographer. He needs to learn the fundamentals of photography. Mind you...or mind me...since I'm writing this note to me. The subject matter of the photo is excellent.)

Mr. Big Teeth goes to the beach.
Someone should teach the photographer about lighting! Mind you, if you send me a photo with a pretty wahine in it, the chances are it will be posted. I'm such a cheap date.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, this is not a hobie cat!

Tasty Tuesday.
Turn your eyes away, Tilly. I don't want to upset your sensibilities.
Something nice to eat on a warm and sunny day! Sorry, Baydog, the weather has been wonderful here en El Área de la Bahía. Im thinking about breaking out the grill.

Try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend.
Fish On Fridays. (The End Result)
Aloha Friday.
A little bit of aloha to take you into the weekend.
I miss Hawai'i!
Dedication.
You know that water is cold!
Not me, Buddy. I'm too much of a baby to dip my toes into a sea with ice and snow. (human beings did evolve in the tropics, didn't they?)
Fish On Fridays.
Gee whiz, it has a slight metallic taste, even with that orange reduction sauce.
Why Do I Like Surfing?
I wonder what it could be?

Tillerman Tuesday On Wednesday.
Old son, this is what proper food should look like. The top one is for me, and the bottom on is for you (vegetarian). Hopefully you won't run for the nearest exit and high tail it down to the local pub to calm your nerves.
For clarification on this post take a look at this photo. Please, if you have little children in the room, cover their eyes. I don't wish them to be traumitized for life.
note to Baydog: let the food posts begin!
