Missing What ?

Several people asked me if I would miss living on the boat and being next to the Pacific Ocean. I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Santa Monica. I lived on Tenth Street and at night you could hear the fog horn on the pier or the waves crashing if the surf was big. Yes, there are certain things that are not available from the mountains of Arizona. One is an ocean but the Gulf of California is about 250 miles away but since I don't have a passport or a stand up paddle board anymore I will pass.
Negative problems about on-boat living is storage. Before I move out from under a house roof I had several yard sales and got rid of lots of things. After a couple of years my bicycle inventory got smaller. Then for around a year I moved to South Pasadena to live with my daughter. Then my bicycle collection started growing again. I restored my Paramount and Bob Jackson. Upgraded an English Bike that had been left behind by the previous owner,

The English bike was then stolen from in front of my boat and the marina could not figure out how to operate the dock cameras.

When we lived on the boat shore power would fail from time to time or the power cord would melt down. While entering this blog it started to rain here in Arizona and the white clouds look very large. Then the power in the ranch house quit, no A/C. 
More dirt
My lap top was fully charged and my 4G Verizon does need A/C until the battery runs low/ I try to keep all my stuff charged.
Road Kill
Since I only have a flashlight I must close soon. The thunder is getting closer and louder too,

More rain and thunder.
