  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Official!!! Socal Beach HERF - Saturday 10/25

Sorry, not going to make it. Would of been a great start to my vacation. Need to do some work on my duplex. You know the normal stuff, paint, paint, and paint some more. And try to get a new furnace installed. Of course I will have a couple of smokes during that week.

I took a dry run to Aliso Beach this weekend. The wife wanted to go to the beach and actually randomly picked this beach to visit. It's very nice, not too big, but had plenty of parking at 2:00 PM on Sunday. Here's a pic looking back towards the beach from a rock between this beach and the next one. It is actually the beach in the distance.


At the southern edge of the beach, there is a little depression and rock wall that might afford a little protection from the wind:

The dark rock on the right side of both pictures is the same rock.

Which brings up a question for discussion. In my experience, a windy beach is a pretty poor place to smoke a cigar. The stick burns too hot. Will we have any protection from the wind? Any thoughts on where we are going to set up?

I'll be arriving Hella early to get our fire pit. And AMG will be there making sure no one takes our spot until Noon.

IF YOU CAN'T FIND US THAN YOU ARE BLIND AND THAT MEANS WE'LL BE ABLE TO SPOT THE BLIND GUY WITH A CIGAR IN HIS MOUTH PRETTY EASY.

There are only 5 fire pits, and they are centrally located. Finding our group should be easy. Just look for the big bald white guy in a speedo with a stogie in his mouth.
