I managed to suffer through a boat shakedown and then a car show today. I hope tomorrow isn't as miserable in this here god forsaken hell hole of a state. :)

1st off I don't believe the FBI for anything. Wife use to work with then on task forces and would agree.

2nd

California​

Crime data for California are derived from reports voluntarily submitted to the FBI.
In 2021, the FBI estimated crime statistics for California are based on data received from of law enforcement agencies in the state that year.

This "Voluntarily" is how all the data is collected. Not very reliable in my opinion, but doesn't matter. Would always choose TN over CA.

Didn’t make it to the beach so not the perfect California day but moto’d from 8-11 then home lunch and then hit the MTB in a t-shirt for a good 15 mi loop now headed to in-laws for a fresh catch lobster dinner. Making chicken shit out of salad or whatever the cool saying is. #shithole

Weather is a bit chilly but sunny on the beach last couple days. Running the RC cars on the beach with the kids.

Far cry from hail that looked snow last week!

Dang that negative tide.... is it a full moon.... +60 year olds tell me they waterskied as kids in Back Bay

Skied in the back bay every weekend. I went to Corona del Mar high school on East bluff drive. Two of my buddies and I would take our old Glaspar up there in the morning (usually foggy) and anchor it and walk to school. After school we would waterski for an hour or so. I am just old enough 63 this year.

Yup, we sure did 😁 Irvine Co. even had a launch ramp back there we used rather than having to launch at the Dunes.
Unfortunately they gated it off after a girl sustained a horrible prop strike. Naturally Irvine Co got sued, because the ramp the boat had launched from was on their property. :mad:

The only rather unnerving aspect of skiing back there was being able to stand up if you fell, although it made deep water starts rather easy, you just never knew what you might be standing on.😖 There were years when you could do the same at Elsinore.

So cool.... here I was wondering if that was just a local tale.... glad you both [riverbottom] got to experience that. Now that I know its true I wonder if the Back Bay silt just filled up due to all the urban development over time. All our local waters from inland seek the ocean and through that corridor would make sense I guess. Comments?

That's really cool Richard! A great place to grow up!

Correction to my first statement, California is on of the most beutiful states we have and for over 60 years I loved it but unfortuneatly it has become a liberal over crowded hell hole and for that it is sad.
I dont care if I ever go back, makes me sick as to what has happened to it

Ex Californians are just like ex smokers. It’s all they can do now is talk shit. No matter how long they’ve been gone. The loudest ones have probably been gone the shortest amount of time.

Just got word winter is officially over in N. TX and snakes are out and about. Mosquitos are starting to appear with scorpions as well. This is the time I miss CA the most. I need to get a second pad near the beach in So. Cal from Apr to Aug. Haha

Why would you say that to me?
Wife's uncle who didn't know me that well moved to Havasu from Cali at age 66 upon retirement, and called me a "Californio" at Thanksgiving that same year when I was about 29 years old . I'm like " dude, I'm from Phoenix and own a trailer in Havasu about 2 miles from your new dream home" . Went right over his head. First generation Trannies that assume magic instant local generational status should try it in Makaha 🤣 -
