Thanks for all the comments yesterday! I love those double digits!
I’m taking the day off work today and my girlfriend arrived last night. I’ll take a picture of my shower for you later, it’s not that small! It’s a standard stand-up-no-bathtub shower, probably bigger than half a bathtub.
Now, when it’s your birthday, I want you to post a pic of you in your birthday suit! (not you Randy)

Happy Birthday To ME!

I was wondering what to post about today and was reading the comments from yesterdays post and Kelli reminded me it was my birthday. When you get as old as me, (46 today) birthdays aren’t a good thing. I’m now on the wrong side of 45. 50 will be here in no time.

The OI Girl is coming tonight. I haven’t seen her in some weeks. I have the day off tomorrow but I feel kind of guilty, like I’ve been taking too much time off lately.
I’ll try not to let it bother me tooo much!

For my birthday, I’m posting a picture of me in my Birthday Suit!

I walked across the street yesterday evening and took these pics at Cemetary Beach.

Description:

Sea grapes are grown as both spreading, evergreen shrubs and trees that reach approximately 30 feet in height. The leaves are round, alternate, and measure as much as 6 inches in diameter. Leaf texture is leathery, and color is bright green to reddish nearest the petioles. Older leaves are often rust colored before they drop. Flowers are small and white, blooming nearly year round. Fruits are fleshy and hang in grape-like clusters. Individual fruits typically measure under 1 inch in diameter. Immature fruit is green in color, while mature fruits are reddish or purple.

Habitat:
Sea grapes are common in coastal dunes, backdunes, and hammocks. They are also heavily utilized as landscaping plants. They are exceedingly rare in Indiana, USA.

The reddish fruits of the sea grape may be eaten raw, cooked into jellies and jams, or fermented into sea grape wine.

They grow all over the beaches, You can eat them, but they’re sour and the fruit is barely bigger than the seed. My friends parrot loves them.

In the olden days, the leaves were used as toilet paper!

Most of this information came from HERE.

Thanks Daisy!

I went back to that beach Imentioned a few days ago and went up those stairs and through that bramble of sea grape trees. It was really cool on the other side. Apparently, someone was going to build some condos there or something but never really got started. There is quite a lot of expensive stonework and nothing more. I’ve heard it’s been that way for more than 10 years.

I found one geo-cache there and another at the East End Light house. I deposited the travel bug I found last weekend at Stonewall Beach then found another travel bug at East End Lighthouse.

After that I went to the Fosters Annual 800 Meter Sea Swim, While I was swimming, I thought I was doing fairly well, but was dissapointed at the place I came in. But my time was good, less that 20 minutes. The little kids amaze me though. Some of the 8 and 9 year olds swim it in under 10 minutes. If we measure by body lengths, that’s fast! Suppose the race is 1000 of my body lengths, and a kid is half my height. So it’s 2000 of his/her body lengths. If they swim it in half the time, then proportionally, they’re going four times faster than me. I wish I could go four times faster than I go.

Here’s a hot sexy picture to drive the ladies wild. The H3 on my arm means that if I pass out, call the Hospital in less than 3 minutes. How do you like my hat an’ shades?

Last weekend, when I found the geocache, there was a travel bug in it. Today I’m going to put it in another cache, if I can find one. I have two places to check.
Also, hopefully, I might find a beach to stop at along the way!
This afternoon is a half mile sea swim that I might swim in.

I bought the land I talked about yesterday. I went to the bank to request the cashiers cheque and I thought it wouldn’t be ready till the next day, but it was ready in minutes, so I got the check, called the seller and we met at the Lands and Survey Department, and transferred the land. No bank, no loan, no real estate agent, no BS. It takes a couple of weeks for the documentation to go through and then I’ll have the certificate of ownership. I can use that as collateral to get a loan for construction or, I can sell my house in the US and use the money from that. But I’ll try to find other options too.
I don’t have too much in my bank account any more! But I’m happy and excited and I can’t wait for the paperwork!

Well, Today’s the day I take the money out of the bank for my house lot. I have cold feet. I’ve been saving a long time and I just got nervous last night! I think that Friday will be the day I close on the property. I always feel like this when I’m getting ready to spend a lot of money!

I got a new window in my car yesterday, Here’s a pic of the broken one.
Around here, it’s like a punishment, if you leave your car unlocked, this retarded crackhead insane person who walks around will rifle through your car and take whatever he can, He’s taken towels and flashlights from me, my neighbors have lost iPods and stuff. I don’t think it was the same guy night before last. He didn’t take anything, and the regular crook never broke anything. The police got some fingerprints, and all my neighbors agree to call the cops each and every time someone rifles their car. So hopefully we’ll establish a pattern and some action will eventually be taken. Everyone knows who it is, but nobody can really prove it. But like I said, I’m not sure it was the same person who broke my window.

Today I am ecxited because it is my split shift day and yesterday I didn’t go to the beach or into the sea at all. Today I’m jonesin to go.

Yesterday, after my dive, I went exploring. I found the Geocache I was after yesterday . . . . .

The path to the beach

It was a good day. Now I’m getting ready for work and I found that someone has broken my passenger window of my car and rifled through everything. I called the police this time. Apparently nothing is missing, my scuba tanks, wsetsuit and XM Radio are all still there. Waiting for the fingerprint technician now…

Yesterday was a good day. I went diving first, then I went to a beach I saw on Google Earth.

It was a very nice beach but not as secluded as I thought it would be. Also I thought I’d never been there before but I had. I was laying there on the beach alternately reading my book, listening to my little radio and playing with my GPS when I noticed I was only a half a mile (800 meters) from a Geocache waypoint. (I was planning on going to a different one yesterday) So I picked up myu towel and backpack and started walking. At first it was OK, beautiful secenery, crashing waves and a nice cool breeze with the hot sun. My favorite clime!

But the terrain got rougher and rougher

Until it got completely impassable and I had to turn back. I mean, there is NO WAY you could walk across this. It is razor sharp.

This isn’t the best route in anyway. So I went back to the beach and stayed till I ran out of water. Then I came back home and had a cool shower and a nap.
I will go back and get there from another direction.

This morning I am getting ready to go diving again. Today will be a deeper one.
Then, who knows?
