I’m just a beach bum at heart spending all my time on the beach over the past 50 years. I first saw the power of the ocean up north when we went to the NJ coast and saw those waves. It was magical to me to see as I grew up on a lake with very small waves. I remember looking out to the sea and just seeing it go on forever which was amazing to me, and I have been in love with the vast ocean ever since. I work at the local business selling surf gear and board shorts to the local surfers and really enjoy my job. I work there part time and also have another part time job in the HVAC industry. I have a good life here on the Spanish coast in a small town which feels like Cali in the 1970’s with its surfers, skateboarders, and eclectic mix of locals. I just want to live like they did back when, before everything got too expensive and complicated like many towns along the Cali coast are now. I work at the heating and cooling company about 15 hours a week helping them answer the phone and sometimes going on service calls with the HVAC techs. It’s a cool job and pays decently and I plan to keep working there as long as they will have me. These part time jobs allow me the freedom of schedule to be able to go to the beach and have late nights of fun while still getting plenty of sleep.
