"Off Main Street: The SpeakEasy/BackRoom"

Hiya all. Back in computer land until the end of the weekend and then back to the beach and off grid. 500 posts since I last supped a pint here. Great stuff. Regards to all :) Had some fun surf and excellent BBQs and pub nights with old friends. Spent too much on the little luxuries of life but hey ho, had a blast and the heat has been unreal - 100 degrees plus and sand and surf :)

sounds like time weLL spent you ask me.

what was the water temp? sweLL conditions? got a secret spot you care to share? a pic or two>>>do teLL.....jonesin here for a surf safari into central america this faLL...something like this.

peace dOOd

Didn't actually take any pics. Friends always complain that I don't take any pictures. The places I go to are hardly secret spots but well worn spots I have been to many many times over the years. Mostly beach breaks and occasionally reef but the swells the last couple of weeks have been small so mostly just fun stuff and arsing about in small beach break surf and drinking with buddies and buddettes until the sun comes up on the beach.

When I get back there next week, I will try to take a pic with my telephone. May be poor quality but I'll see what I can do :)

Speaking of silver, yesterday my STALKER source reported rumors of two very large silver transactions. Ned Naylor-Leyland, who presented at GATA’s Gold Rush 2011 in London a year ago, reported on the The Keiser Report that there are massive physical strains in the silver market due to two large silver purchases in London in the 5 to 10 million ounce range . and that the LBMA is refusing to deliver them outside of the LBMA system. It should be duly noted that Ned is very sharp and very well connected.

premature post. Be back in a bit.

No you perverts not that kind of ending.

My wife was moving her Dad back into his apartment. He had been displaced for five months due to a fire that made everyone move out. His whole apartment building was emptied by a company that cleans and restores after such an event. After they brought everything back today they gave him a baggie with a gold medallion on a chain. He thought it was lost or stolen a couple of years ago. They found it inside a dresser, that fell behind a drawer.

What was it? Well, in 1972 a friend put a new 1927 St Gaudens $20 piece in a bezel and then on a chain. He paid $45 for it at the time. 

Does that mean in 40 years from now gold will be $60,500? 1650/45=36...... 36*1650=60,500

Wouldn't that be a happy ending?

That you are aware of Fairport Convention and​ know RT's part in it is happy making.

All I can say is Sandy Denny!

...a few (proper) surfers habitating this joint.

Moved away from the water a few years ago for unrelated reasons.   Must return pronto.   

Will settle for surf mission near term.  Stuck looking at old pics of better days...

Ahh well....
