The Central Section Shred Sled...

Dateline: Wednesday morning, July 27, 2016... inside the garage at CSHQ as we arrived for an off duty workout... we find veteran LACo OL, Ben Gottlieb, also off duty and busy at work with his latest lifeguard competition accessory, namely, the (Ben Gottlieb) Central Section (Dory) Shred Sled! What's that?... you ask...  Well, you take a pallet, a couple of used bench pads, some duct tape (always duct tape), a hammer and some nails and, of course, absolutely essential are two used snowboards...

Not convinced yet?  We have just the solution to your questions... photos and videos!  Grab a cup of coffee or your favorite off duty/retirement beverage, as you are so inclined... and enjoy!.....

Say!... what's going on over yonder?!...

Below, you simply cannot put together a shred sled without duct tape!...

... all of this is going on by the way, below, under the watchful eyes of Capt. Eugene Atanasio at the front door upstairs.....

Now check this out!...  The dory has been installed on the shred sled!...

OLS Alex Vicente shows up and so I am relieved of my volunteer/draftee role in this caper...

After finishing up my weight workout, I notice that Ben is off for a board paddle...

close up shot below of a Division OLS conducting a VIP tour of CSHQ.... it was all very hush hush or actually beyond what I could hear so who knows.....

On our way out to Tower #16 to take a swim we hear Capt. Eugene call out to Ben from the upstairs front cat walk at CSHQ to haul a** to Tower #26 where he is needed by Capt. Katzer... thus scrubbing his planned off duty paddle to Tower #26...  well, see for yourself in the accompanying video of same below...

We also took this opportunity to take a photo of OL Katya at Tower #16, on duty and watching the water... An absolutely beautiful morning with the sun out and just a trace of wind off shore...

We also took notice of Katya's selection in sunglasses since that is one of our regular topics of inquiry here at "County Recurrent", e.g.., what sunglasses are our Ocean Lifeguards wearing and why?... Do you recognize the brand?

Katya wears SPY® sunglasses and not because she is Russian...   :-)  She says the polarized lenses are the best!

So there you have it!...

10-4

Until next time.....
