Frosty is a fun toy that I've found older people like a lot.

As I said yesterday, we had a nice north swell yesterday, but not a big surf. The north angle only lasted one day though. This morning it is more from the east.
It seems the water got high enough yesterday to hit the dunes in a few (very few) places, but barely.
DJ visited Turtle Trail this morning, and took the following photo. You should thank him for sharing like that. He said he saw only the very top of one of the bags. Low tide was early.

Yesterday he sent this photo from the access area at Turtle Trail looking north.

That is what it looked like yesterday morning. Here is what it looked like today.

If you noticed the wind change and took note of the surf predictions, you might have expected little additional improvement from yesterday, and you would have been right.
Not a huge change from day to day, but you can see from the photos that the wave angles changed and the small amount of erosion that began yesterday was halted.
If you learn how it works, you can pretty well figure out what will happen to the beach when the weather changes. That works for both day-to-day changes as well as longer term.
You can learn from older photos as well as new photos. Making comparisons will show you how different weather conditions affect the beach so you can better predict what a beach will look like before you see it.

BOSTON (WHDH) - A bottle containing a mysterious 126-year-old note was recently found hidden away inside the wall of a building in Boston.
A person living in the Back Bay near Commonwealth Avenue found the bottle tucked into a space between their fireplace flue and an interior wall, according to the Boston Archaeology Program.
Photos shared on Facebook showed a rolled up piece of paper stuffed inside an old “N. Simons” rye whiskey bottle. The label read, “Importer and Wholesale Liquor Dealer” and had the address “31 & 33 Castle St., Boston” printed on it...
Here is that link.There is a new app that will help you see what is behind the walls.
A see-through phone? While incredible technology like this might be in the making, inventors have yet to come up with a way to give your phone real X-ray vision. Walabot DIY comes close, though, letting you see inside walls, and helping to prevent costly or dangerous slip-ups. Here’s how it works.
If you’re imagining a tool or app that gives you near total X-ray vision, you’ll be thrilled to discover Walabot DIY. This cutting-edge tool works with a dedicated app and an Android phone running version 5 or higher. Once installed, it lets you see inside walls made from common building materials including drywall and concrete, penetrating through insulation up to four inches deep. With the Walabot DIY in-hand, there’s no doubt about the location of important components such as pipes, electric wires, cables, and studs.
X-rays come with some well-known radiation hazards, so Walabot DIY’s inventors opted for something a whole lot safer. This device uses radio frequency (RF) technology to detect objects inside walls. The readout can be easily viewed on your now “see-through phone’s” screen.
Of course it isn't just like seeing through the wall, but you can find studs, pipes and things. The reviews vary, of course, but it does seem like it might be helpful.
Here is a YouTube video showing how it works.

I don't think it is a big improvement over things like Flir One or Flir Pro or other stud finders, but it could be useful. Some people recommend using it in the Expert Mode.

The surf will be running two to four feet for a few days, and the swells are now from the east.
