A tandem mountain bike is parked at a metal bike rack. The bike is primarily black with a yellow front fork. It has two seats and two sets of pedals, signifying it is built for two riders. Its features, such as the knobby tires and sturdy frame, suggest it is designed for off-road cycling. Further back, there is another bike leaning against the rack, pink and purple in color, with a water bottle attached. The setting appears to be a school or a public building, as indicated by children's artwork displayed on a board on the wall in the background. A vehicle is parked on the right, and the sky is clear, suggesting a bright day.

A close-up view of delicate pale blue flowers with multiple petals radiating from a central point. Each flower features five rounded petals with subtle veins and a small cluster of stamen in the center. The flowers are basking in bright sunlight with shades of blue in the petals varying slightly due to the play of light and shadow. In the background, more such flowers and some green foliage can be seen forming a natural, blurred backdrop.

I had an incredible day surfing and engaging in community activities. Started off with a surf session at North Garbage, where I initially enjoyed the solitude until it got crowded. Managed to ride one of the wildest waves of my life, a complex maneuver that felt truly rewarding. Then, after an ambitious attempt at a 10-foot wave that ended in a spectacular wipeout, I decided to switch spots, moving to South Garbage as the crowd thickened and the waves grew more challenging. Realizing my energy was waning, I wrapped up the session and did a bit of environmental cleanup, picking up trash along the way out. After surfing, I caught up with Brian at Sunset Cliffs, learning he's now pursuing art full-time, which was inspiring. Our brief conversation was a pleasant catch-up on life and his new ventures into resin art. Earlier in the day, I volunteered at a CAF (Challenged Athletes Foundation) event, assisting with Mark's Wall and learning a lot about the complexities of setting up climbing systems for adaptive climbers. The event was overwhelming but rewarding, especially seeing climbers like one remarkable participant who successfully climbed despite significant limb differences. This experience and my time surfing underscored a day of physical exertion, learning, and meaningful social interactions, closing with the anticipation of enjoying an açaí bowl, a perfect end to a fulfilling day. I spent a long day working and finishing up some tasks for Josie before deciding it's time to take a break. It's 4 p.m., and I'm heading home with plans to grab an acai bowl and possibly prepare some burrito ingredients. I've been thinking about taking a break from computer-related work tomorrow and instead focusing on some personal tasks and home activities. I also plan to vote and maybe tackle those little things I've been putting off. Living near Sunset Cliffs is a highlight for me, especially with its proximity to my favorite bagel joint and other local spots like Obeys People's Market. I love the vibe of the area, and it's a great place for surfing. Now, I'm looking forward to enjoying my acai bowl and winding down for the day. And oh, I've got to get back to Josie. That's pretty much it for today.

The mouth of the cave frames the view, with warm earthy tones of brown and tan suggesting the cave's interior. The forest itself is rich with varied hues of green, punctuated by specks of red and orange, possibly indicating flowers or autumn foliage. In the center foreground, there is a simplistic black line drawing of a crossed pair of human legs that contrasts with the colored background. The artwork conveys a sense of being within a sheltered space while observing the vastness and beauty of nature outside.

Today was pretty cool because I got to spend it hanging out with Kim and Jordan, just talking and catching up. We even went for a little bike ride around the bay, which was lovely. Now I'm back home and thinking of heading to crack night for a bit before calling it a night. I'm quite tired, but I'll probably grab something to eat first. Lunch was amazing; we went to this Mexican place called Las Brasas and had burritos and tacos. It was great catching up and also seeing Bernard and Henry, the two dogs. There's still so much more to catch up on, but overall, it was a really nice day.

Yesterday was an amazing day for me. I spent the morning making samosas with Jono, which was a great experience, especially learning to deep fry for the first time. We tried various fillings, including lamb and potato, and made our own tamarind and mint chutneys. Though we realized we could improve the fillings, the process was enjoyable, and sharing fresh young coconut with Jono was the highlight of my day. The joy of that simple moment was unparalleled. Later, I had a brief chat with Josie, cleaned up, and headed to Juggling Club on my bike. There, I caught up with friends, Edgar, Jack, and met someone new, possibly named Matt or Mike. Ray joined us too, and catching up with him was so nice that I invited him over for dinner. We spent about five or six hours just talking. For dinner, I made garlic chicken and a kale salad with feta, bell pepper, and a lemon Dijon olive oil vinaigrette with a hint of dill, which turned out pleasantly. Overall, the day left me feeling grateful for the shared experiences and simple joys.

Today marked another fantastic surf session, this time during a sunset class. It was my third consecutive day surfing, but this session was a bit shorter, lasting around an hour and twenty minutes. I exhausted myself in the initial stages, primarily because the waves were consistent, not necessarily larger than before but incredibly steady. Despite occasional breaks, the session was intense—paddle, wave, paddle, wave, with a bit more wind adding to a progressively choppier sea over these days. I caught an insanely memorable wave, one I barely managed to ride, leading to an exhilarating 200-meter journey down its face on a longboard. Although I misjudged my speed towards the end, it was still the highlight of my day. Reflecting on my surfing approach, I realized I've been overly bold, almost as if I wasn't using a leash, which is something I'll adjust moving forward. Meanwhile, outside of surfing, there was a peculiar incident on the road involving another driver and police blocking the path ahead, but I managed to avoid any trouble. With my body feeling the toll of consecutive surfing days, I'm looking forward to a bit of rest and have plans to visit the Monk with friends. Additionally, I need to sort out whether Ryan can pick up some food for Moose or if I'll need to handle it. All in all, today was about balancing my passion for surfing with daily responsibilities and the need for rest, especially as the earlier sunsets are starting to impact my work schedule.

I had an incredible day at the ocean, the waves were just phenomenal. It felt like hitting set clips all day, and I thrive in that. The crowd wasn't too heavy, only a few of us were really taking on the waves. They were averaging around six feet, occasionally peaking at eight feet. I managed to ride a couple of those bigger ones and felt truly in sync with my board, unlike with my other board that I just can't seem to get the hang of anymore. It was a day filled with exhilarating rides, fast cuts, and lip hits. Apart from the surfing, I also had the chance to help someone out by rescuing their board, which felt great. The conditions were perfect, no wind, just beautiful waves, making for an unforgettable session. The whole vibe, even outside the water, was so positive; people were kind, and I left the beach feeling extremely stoked. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's session, expecting it to be just as epic, reminiscent of a fantastic day we once had, living up to all my expectations. So, yeah, totally stoked.
