"It's raining cats and dogs!"

Been outside today? Holy smoke, even I decided against paddling
 on this fine blustery day which is unusual, but it is just nasty out! 

I took my Border Collie Cowgirl for a walk earlier when the rain had
supposedly "let up"and came home just drenched. She usually loves this
stuff but today was jogging right along side me when it started breaking
loose, and I started running back home!  I don't mind the rain so much,
it's that North wind driving it! Yeeesh!

Talk about lazy!

Man, I feel like a bloated fish out of water I tell ya! Don't know what's gotten into me but I haven't been out paddling in nearly a week now and that's usually not a good sign.  Of what I'm never quite sure but something is amiss, just not sure what.  Not to worry though as tomorrow is Tuesday and I will definitely be out and about the Santa Monica bay.  If you care to join me I usually leave Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey at around 5:30 pm and get back in around 8 or so. Noting too wild,  just a good workout out towards the Venice pier then back. Make sure you bring a headlamp as the Coast Guard guys like to be able to see you when they fly out of the harbor so bring one.
