Monday Morning Mists

Another day in paradise, well maybe not. Commenting about the local weather is similar to the weatherman in Yuma talking about the rain. As Yuma doesn't get much rain we get fog, overcast, drizzle, and sunshine. Today we cut the dog walking short and went just over three miles not the usual 5 miles.

The water here is murky at times and ugly after it rains. A red (green tide) also makes it unpleasant. To view sealife underwater bright overhead sunshine works best.

What you see next to the rocks that line the marina vary with the seasons and mating behaviors. Garibaldi's swim by and stay close to the rocks and are easy to spot. Spotted skates are usually in groups. Skates are not string rays.

Larger rays do show up here but they stay in the deeper water between the docks, Large bat rays show up and while paddling my stand up I have gone over several large ones. 

Sea Stars are rare here 

Too many idiots remove the sea stars from the rocks and idiots may out number the rocks.

Have been trying to sell my Fuji track bike on Craigslist and this morning the ad need to be renewed,  Last week the price was lowered but this morning the higher old price was still showing. Friday a buyer said he was going to come by Saturday but never did. Rode my mountain bike yesterday and even got mud on the tires. Today I am going to put the S-Works back in my double shore closet and get out a road bike. My go to store bike is a road bike with flat bars and a single free wheel. It was set up as a fixie but the chain gets sloppy as the frame has vertical drop outs.
