Introducing the kids to Firefly tonight.

🏄 New Post! 🏄 surfwaxjunkie.mataroa.blog/blog/post-su... It's a longer one, but it's a really important one in my #surf journey.

It's always a little weird when someone mentions how cute our dog is. I say thank you, but it's not like I had any control over things! 😂

Splashdown!

Home from vacation. 99% unpacked. Got a pile of stuff to go back to storage. Got some laundry started. Probably should have lunch! 🤔

Last night in Cayucos for this trip. It's definitely been a different trip with the dog along. It's still been lots of fun. There are blog posts to come. Half packed up already. So bittersweet.

Today's message from the local skate park.

Three second exposure from the beach tonight. I tried to hold very still!

Another couple hours in the ocean. Another level of clarity.

Reply with a number between 14 and 245 and I'll share some Menu Magic (a book found in our rental from 1956, brought to you by Chevrolet)!

Morro Bay otters this morning.

Oof, arches are sore, ankles are sore, lower back is sore. 16k steps and two hours in the water!

As it often does, being in the ocean (especially with your kids) provides clarity.

My thoughts as I head down to the beach right now. #surf

Saw this in an antique store in Cayucos, CA and thought of @consumertc.bsky.social!

I've got the sliding door open, just about everyone else is in bed, and I can hear the waves crashing. This is what I live for. This is so rejuvenating!

I'll be honest, I might not check my phone much during vacation.

I'll be honest, I was planning to put this vintage Body Glove duffel on eBay as part of my clearing stuff out, but it holds just about everything I'm taking on vacation!

Today I learned about Pepsiman (who had a Japanese Playstation game, no less) and, as impressive as that is, I think Pepsi just stole the Raston Warrior Robot from The Five Doctors! #DoctorWho #pepsi

Maybe it will be an Easter miracle today.

Alright! A nice longer piece on possibly my favorite #surf film to keep y'all tied over. surfwaxjunkie.mataroa.blog/blog/ozone-t...

I think I need to get me a sausage roll maker!

Absolutely.

Last day of work before a week off. Very ready to escape to the central coast with the family. Ready to get in the gd ocean! Lots to do today, but also want to try and get another surf blog up. We'll see. Also, took my eldest to a concert in SF last night, so I'm gonna need all the coffee today.

Got to watch the launch with my kid's middle school class. That was pretty cool.

Our new logo may be an April Fools’ joke, but it IS on an actual product(s)! Grab the metal-inspired Steam Powered Giraffe logo on a T-SHIRT (or hoodie)! Art by Sam Luke. Link to the band's online store: www.spgiraffestore.com #steampoweredgiraffe #aprilfools

We're back to watching some proper #DoctorWho with The Lazarus Experiment because apparently @masolko.bsky.social decided to prank us with a little extra "Salt" this time around! And get ready to see more Mark Gatiss than you can shake a tray of snacks at! #WhoSky notlg.com/podcastica/e...

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility! Huge love to all my trans and non-binary friends today.

So it's a Sarah Winchester design? 🤔

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Folks, when you haven't gone through your closet in years, you realize it can't be done in a day and you decide to do it in three phases. First phase is done.

Block it. Because I really don't want to have to leave Bluesky. I'm about ready to give up on social media altogether.

I am so delightfully doomed.

Oof. Organized all my #surf magazines by month and year. Kind of exhausting and I've definitely got a couple almost complete years of @surfermagazine.bsky.social that I'm probably going to stick on eBay.

Spinning on repeat today! New album from Good Riddance! open.spotify.com/album/0kZjtJ...

🏄 New Post! 🏄 Let's go surfing now! But not on my wave! In which I discuss & then ramble about the two sides of #surf culture. surfwaxjunkie.mataroa.blog/blog/lets-go...

I've got a big #surf blog entry coming...not sure how soon, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot and composing in my head.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

New Post! The Thrill of the Hunt! #surfing surfwaxjunkie.mataroa.blog/blog/the-thr...

Happy World Water Day! Today, we take a moment to recognize and appreciate the most precious resource we have: clean water. Our ocean provides the oxygen we breathe, a home for marine life, and the waves we cherish. That’s why we fight everyday to protect this vital resource for all people to enjoy.

Hey @chadnelsen.bsky.social what are the odds I can convince you that @surfrider.org needs to do a modern day follow up to this?
