We’ve had another pretty big rain event.

Unfortunately it undid all the work that was done, with the help of many, to move sediment and direct the creek water away from our house and getting a pumping system up and running to remove water form the garage and guest house.

So, still unable to even get into my work shop to rebuild. It may be 3 or 4 months before any substantial work can get completed.

The first group of volunteers helped remove what was blocking my surfboard locker so we could get to a customers board. Luckily I could get it out and with no damage. But this last rain my personal boards and those of my sons were lifted from all the water, fell onto the doors and spilled over. One board floated stopping close to our front deck.  

Haven’t figured out just where to keep them. Until water recedes. It’s a small challenge compared to what we’re facing. 

I got this letter in the mail last week from a surfboard customer, Mark, that was very encouraging. Getting a hand written letter is really something these days. He said no need for a thank you for his contribution to help toward rebuilding. 

But I’ll say it anyway. Thank You! For your kind encouraging words and gift. Hope you don't mind me posting this.

Taking one day at a time.
