Quote from: Charlotte Kitty on August 14, 2026, 12:50:02 PMGood luck, hope it goes well. I tried to use those "Heely" trainers with the built in wheels. I fell and the top of my head smashed the plaster off a brick wall. Not fun!

Yikes! Glad you are still on this side of the grass after that... I will keep you all posted... if you don't hear from me, I am in traction! 😅

Quote from: Lori Dee on August 14, 2026, 03:02:07 PMAs a kid, I rollerskated a lot. As an adult, I decided to try rollerblades. Not good!

Ash, you are a daredevil! Good luck!

Thanks Lori!!!... If I find in highly unlikely that I will get to the point I can comfortably cruise around without sustaining serious injury, my skateboarding career will be a short one! 😅 So far, I am doing okay... I fall but, I spared no expense on the best padding and it certainly helps! 😀👍

Quote from: Stottie Girl on August 14, 2026, 03:13:55 PMHey there skater girl! Go you!

I used to be a skater in my teens. I had a broken wrist, index finger and half a front tooth to show for it haha! Maybe I wasn't any good lol! No protection in the 90's though! Santa Cruz board too, a classic!

Thanks Sarah!... I hope to get through this without breaking anything! It amazes me what people skating do without helmets or pads on... scary! But they are young and rubbery! I had a bunch of pads from my snowboarding days but decided to just upgrade everything!

Santa Cruz Skateboards are indeed a classic!... I lived in Santa Cruz in the late 90s and early 2000s just a short block from the Santa Cruz Skateboards Shop... Those days though, I was always out in the water surfing... I had a couple surfboards shaped by Doug Haut, he is one of the founders of SC Skateboards! 🛹🏄

Thanks Anna!... I will be careful!... Lots of living still to do! 🌻

Onward!

Thanks Gina!!! All the running and walking pays dividends I guess... I still feel pretty much like I did in my 30s physically for the most part... Hopefully a bit wiser though!... Love Ya Sis! 🌼

It is too bad you aren't here this week for "Car Week"... They have over 50 events with antiques, muscle cars, exotics and everything in between...

Seeing you with a skateboard reminds me of Farrah Fawcett in "Charlie's Angels", riding hers to chase down a villain. At least as pretty and sexy—at least before you gets on it :-).
My dad bought me one for Christmas in the late '70s. I'm pretty good at skiing, but I never managed to get the hang of that board. So I switched to roller skates... Goodbye to my dreams of being Farrah Fawcett—my new role model was Linda Blair in "Roller Boogie"...

Hi Stephanie!!!

I remember that episode well!... I think I was always a bit envious in those days that I couldn't take my shot at achieving the perfect "Farrah Hair" like all the other girls of the time!... Alas!

Last year we went down to Monterey for my birthday dinner (I love Bubba Gump's) and we didn't realize it was Car Week! You can imagine how long it took us to get from the far end of Cannery Row to where Gump's is.

Yikes!😧... Yeah so much craziness around here when car week comes around!... It is nice we have been back to our normal vibe around here the last couple days! I hope your shrimp dinner was delicious! It was certainly well-earned! 🍤🍤🍤🤗🍤🍤🍤

I hated the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota. I went once, just to say I've been, but not really my thing. The problem was getting to the VA hospital during the first week of August for appointments. The common route is right through downtown Sturgis. Ugh.

I found a back road that cuts through the mountains, through a recreation area, and I would take that if the weather was good.

I hope you are safe in the Big Sur general area as the fires persist.


Take care,


Chrissy

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Thank You Chrissy!

All is well here right now... some local areas have some ash coming down on cars etc... it doesn't smell Smokey but the smoke out over the ocean has made for some spectacular and ominous sunsets... very hard terrain to fight fires in down there for sure!

Hugs!

Hey All,

I thought I would share some of the latest goings on in my life...

My sudden interest in skateboarding has really blossomed into an obsession or perhaps, more accurately, a spiritual quest of sorts as I take on its many challenges!... So far, so good!... I have been getting out around 5 times a week and really enjoying feeling the little bits of progress I make each time... I even have been making progress on a couple little tricks!... Onward I Go! 🛹👩👍

I have also been mixing in some hikes on a local mountain along with my usual beach walks...The steep terrain has been rewarding my with some amazing views! 💕🤗💕

My husband and I celebrated out 10th wedding anniversary this last weekend!... We drove down to LA... enjoyed a very nice dinner out... took in a Dodgers/Giants game... 💙GO DODGERS!!!💙... Went to The Gene Autry Museum and enjoyed a hike to Bronson Cave, it has been used as a filming location in hundreds of TV shows and movies... most famously as the place the Batmobile would drive out in the 1960s TV series!

A few pics from our adventure...
