Networked surf reports would be really sick. That's all.

Jan 26, 2024 - 11:37am
I intended to note last night that I might be overly focused on the technology aspect. Jordan, who has confirmed my significant progress, joined me for burritos and I updated him on my work. I value Jordan's assistance and am grateful for his help. My aim is to get the product into users' hands for feedback, despite any associated anxiety.
"Buku Saisa Natural: An Impressive Ethiopian Heirloom Coffee"
Jan 26, 2024 - 11:36am
I'm really enjoying the Ethiopian heirloom coffee from Bird Rock, called Buku Saisa Natural. It's a naturally processed variety grown at an elevation of 2,000 to 3,000, or maybe 2,000 to 2,300 MASL, which I believe refers to altitude. The coffee is quite impressive and nearly mind-blowing in its quality. It's really good coffee.
"A Day of Perfect Waves: A Surfer's Journey at Swami's and Boneyards"
Jan 26, 2024 - 8:25am
The surfer caught several perfect waves back-to-back at Swami's, starting with a small insider followed by a six-foot wave that was an absolute blast. The conditions changed as the tide came in, making the waves mushier, which combined with the crowdedness, prompted the surfer to move to a different spot called Boneyards. At Boneyards, the surfer gave a good wave to a girl he met and then caught two amazing rights, noticing fewer surfers there compared to Swami's. Eventually, after the shoulder pain started, the surfer took a final wave in, completing a day of beautiful surfing with light winds and nice surface texture.
"Early Morning Awakening and Dreams of Disc Golf"
Jan 26, 2024 - 6:09am
I woke up naturally at 5:37am, just before my alarm, after less than 7 hours of sleep. Despite going to bed late at 10:40pm, I quickly fell asleep and even had a dream about playing disc golf with professionals. The dream may be a sign that it's time for me to take up disc golf again. I'm heading to SWAMI's and hoping Chandler will join me there.
