Dogs love me 'cause I'm crazy sniffable!

About Me

Hillbilly born and raised, enjoy all things out-of-doors. I surf whenever possible. I'll watch the magic weed surf report for conditions worth the seven-hour drive to the beach. My son is the greatest thing ever! He has shown me that you should NEVER lose your imagination, the mind, on the other hand... Playing in Undercut Falls
