Pretty great day today, fit a lot of stuff in and all went well and now I’m tired.

Started with some iffy weather, so didn’t get off as early as I had planned, but headed up the coast around 6/30am. Climbed a mountain, reflected on it all at the top, and then started back down. A small storm came in and looked nice, just enough rain to cool me. Then drove off in the bird up to Noosa, paid for a surfboard I won on ebay.  Headed back down the coast and not too far from home the yardbird threw a fit and I waited at the side of the road with the hazards on for 15/20 minutes thinking the birthday was close to heading south. Eventually got the car petulantly coughing down the road, and just when I thought it was it was going to give up the ghost and all was lost the car fired up and all was well again. Yay! I was not looking forward to a day of towing/messing around with cars. The most likely prognosis we decided was a blockage in the fuel line. I’ll look into it more in the future.

Got home, had a very nice lunch with the family, then drove back up the coast with the brothers to try out the new board. I’ve never surfed much, I bought a fairly small board and the surf turned pretty erratic and choppy soon after we arrived, so I spent the afternoon clinging to the board like a drowning rat to a cork, but having fun nonetheless. Some good exercise to top the day off and a eventless drive home through a golden sunset = my squinting version of a heaven.
