vacation is over

Two weeks was a long vacation. I bought that $100 surf board and camped and surfed for a bit and then was up in Tahoe for a bit and then went back to the coast and surfed and camped a bit more. I camped in Bodega Bay the first time and then up in Fort Bragg. Both were nice. Doran Beach (Bodega Bay) is nice, the campground is right on this little spit of sand sticking out at the head of Bodega Bay. The waves weren't too big there and the water is frigid. I've realized that I'm very out of shape, with the added weight of a wet suit paddling for waves was really exhausting. Up in Fort Bragg at Mackerricher State Park the beach was amazing. It's several miles long of just sandy beach, pretty much empty. Not many people around, no one else surfing. The waves were bigger, maybe chest high to head high. That's a little higher than I'm any good at. I mostly got tossed around and was wishing the water was a lot warmer and I didn't need to be wearing my wet suit.
Tahoe was nice, not much going on up there though right now. No snow yet.
My car is leaking oil, a lot actually. I'm dropping it off tomorrow to get a new oil cooler. It leaks about a quart of oil per hour driven. More when it's been going for a few hours straight. It was getting annoying having to pull over every 45 minutes to pour another quart of oil in. I even had a park ranger in Fort Bragg tell me I was leaving a mess all over the park as I drove around, I thought he was going to threaten to give me a ticket, but he was just making sure I knew I was leaking oil.
Anyway, I'm back to work and not much has changed here. Things are going slow as they try to fish some pipe out of the hole that got stuck a few days ago. Pretty boring out here. I'm going to develop some film tonight as I "work". I found a lot of film on craigslist for really cheap and used quite a bit of it while I was off. It was expired but kept dark and cool so it should be ok, we'll see though.
