Whats next?

Low ri der
This is the sink and counter top project that I spearheaded

Just been keeping myself busy around the house with weeding,planting,and fix up projects.

It's weird coming off the road when your not really sure if your coming or going anymore.Jesse said it best,Lenny you came all the way out here for a reason why would you go back.Did I come out here for a reason? I mean, well, I guess I always wanted to live in California.Doesn't everyone? Right now, I'm taking it one day at a time.I'm playing the guitar again.Who knows? I might even go get me a gig.
Peace Love and happiness

Spending my time helping out around the house.Gardening,cleaning and straighting up and doing a bathroom tile project.Fresh veggies in my belly from the garden, yum.Life is simple and good.

Living in a motorhome

It's a lot like living on the sailboatOh yeah, complete with guitarThe bedroom

Jesse and I rode our motorcycles to Monterey today.He put me up in one of his motorhomes on the property where his mom lives,then he took me out and showed me all over town.Nice!It looks like I'll be helping out around here with the garden and the homestead.

Life is good

Spending my days helping out Jali and Jesse with work around the homestead building rock walls and cleaning up.The afternoons are reserved for jaming and hanging out.Lots of fresh vegetables from the garden are being eaten up for dinner. Life is good here up on the mountain.We've been having some serious jam sessions.Both Jesse and Jali play guitar, we've got a keyboard and congas as well.

Open mike at Big sur

I went to the open mike lastnight with Jali in Big sur at the Henry Miller.What a perfect out door setting, great sound,and a wonderful crowd.I got to play three songs and I killed it.It was sweet.Baby on board, If you love somebody, and daughters by John Mayer.Afterwords we drove down the coast to thirteen pines and star gazed.Wow! I've never seen so many stars.There was a meteor shower as well, so we saw tons of falling stars.We got out the guitars and jamed until 1 o'clock in the morning right there on the coast.What a night!

waiting for the future to reveal itself

Today is my fifth day in Big sur.It looks like I'll be heading back to Monterey soon to meet up with Jesse.My stay here has been very nice.I mowed the lawn and did some weed whacking yesterday for Jali.Other than that, I've spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony playing guitar and taking in the mountain and it's view.The place is magical.I've also checked out some of the local hangouts.I've got no signal up here,so it's tough to get a hold of me by phone,but my email is working just fine.I didn't write any songs yet Daney, been too busy thinking about my next move.My buddy Jesse has been laying the ground work for me to stay in Monerey.It should all unfold here in the next few days.I don't want to speak prematurely, but I could be calling California my new home.

Not surly in Big sur

This puppy loves me
The house that Jali builtSome beautiful flowers up hereBig Sur

This is something else up here.It's so peaceful and quiet.I'm in healing mode.Jali and I played some music the first night, rocking out on guitars.Other than that, I've had the place to myself.There is a garden out back with plenty of fresh vegetables,A hot tub and an outside shower,even a friendly fluffy kitty cat.

Yesterday I explored the coast and some of the local hangouts. Seems to be an open mike close by on Wednesday nights.I might have to stick around for a while.
