Highlight of this weekend includes burning piles of brush from our tree-trimming project. Erik and I drove around on Saturday looking for a cheap outdoor fireplace, which is perfectly legal in Costa Mesa. Target had one for $60, which was a little out of our range and too nice for our needs. We bought it anyway. But on the way home we decided to check out Home Depot. For $17 we bought a 30 gallon metal trash can. We drilled holes in the bottom of it and had a blazing fire. We call it the bum drum and pretended we were in Detroit under an overpass. It’s full of smouldering coals. We live in the best complex — everyone was just glad we were getting rid of the brush.

Surfed in some small waves yesterday. Water is now officially cold — in the 50’s. But the sun was warm and my wetsuit is toasty.
