Playing in the river
A beautiful day for a ride through Big surI'm still trying to get my head around the fact that I rode my bike out hereJesse and Kody riding the big sur riverkissing catfish I spent last weekend camping in big sur. Still playing open mikes and searching for a gig.Been to the dentist and spent some serious cash on a new front tooth.The DMV got me for a thousand as well. It's been a very expensive week, but I was getting nowhere walking around looking like a toothless hillbilly crackhead without a California drivers license.

The honey hole

This is Jesse's mom JocelynA bench for the gardenjust a cute little tableA table I made for outside the front doorThe garden bench I'm building

As you can see I've been keeping myself busy building things.I've also been spending time in the garden tending to the lettuce,beets,and radishes I planted.The weather here has been beautiful.This weekend is the Monterey jazz festival,I'm going to try and catch some of it.I did an open mike night in Monterey on Wednesday and even took part in the poetry slam.

It's always a trip moving to a new place and getting yourself intigrated.I forgot how lonely it can be when you don't really know anyone and your trying to find a place to fit in.I'm not drinking to deep from the well though.Soon I'll find the honey hole and have both paws in it.For now, it's me, myself, and I getting to know one another all over again...

Sorry, I got so caught up in what I was doing I forgot to post. I've been busy building stuff and playing guitar and checking out Monterey.This place is really growing on me.I got no plans to go anywhere right now. I'm getting used to the California lifestyle.

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

Plenty of theses around

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

Jali and Jesse hamming it upThrowing down in the kitchenJali and Jesse in the bay window

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.
