Yesterday I dropped off my car for some repairs and an annual inspection. Hope they go easy on me, money-wise. I drove it there and walked home, on the way back I took some pics:

Yesterday afternoon The Wife and I went to the beach. I did quite a long snorkel, I swam way out there! I took some pictures, nothing spectacular.

If you’d have asked me two weeks ago, I’d have said I’ve been on this island 13 years. Then I ran into a friend who had been here longer than me, and I asked how long he’d been here. 12 years. I said “How is that possible? I’ve been here 13 years and you’ve been here longer than me.” Turns out her got here a month before me, I’ve been adding a year each February and I don’t know when I went wrong. But now I have to go back to 12 years and I feel cheated!

Yesterday the wife and I rode our bikes to a deserted beach. Here’s some pics:

Yesterday I went out to get price quotes for a fence for my yard, then stopped by my secret beach. Months ago, I saw an old aluminum umbrella holder abandoned in the sand. I figured if it was still there, I’d take it. It would be good for a tikki torch. It wasn’t there anymore, but as I was leaving, I heard all this squawking, and found either two tiny parrots or two giant parakeets in a tree. Cayman Parrots have spot on their cheeks, these have no spots. (Top photo)
Then I stopped by Sunset House and had a cigar at the pool. It seems Cathy Church has a new boat, that to me, looks quite nice. Hence the second photo. Looks like a sailboat with no mast.
The planes landing at Owen Roberts Airport fly almost directly overhead at Sunset House. I took pics of the bottom of somebodys private jet. Photo 3.

Last night was a great night for sleeping, it was very breezy and cool. Even though, I feel kind of cranky and in a bad mood this morning. We’ll see what coffee, a shower and a bicycle ride to the beach do for me!

Sing it with me!
Yeay! It’s Fried-aay!
The weekend’s here!
We’ll relax (hallelujah hallelujah!)
And take off our slacks (hallelujah hallelujah!!)
And sit around the house in our rotten underwear~!

I did a Google search for “Fried A” images and found THIS (Click the purple links)

They’re not Woodpeckers, they’re tin peckers. Every day they come by and hammer on our rain gutters. It sounds like a jackhammer, really loud! We thought we had one, but we have two! Every day the wife runs out to try and get pictures and they fly away, yesterday they stayed put and I got some pics from about 10 feet away!
I don’t mind their pecking though, it gives the house some character!

I don’t know what to post about today. So I’ll post a pic.
This is the Kirk Pride, it is in about 800 feet of water. I’d like to do this dive on my rebreather someday, but my rebreather is good to only 500 feet. It can be modified to go deeper. It would take about 12 hours to decompress after 10 minutes at 800 feet.

It was a good weekend. It rained a little, nothing like expected.
Saturday was a huge sale at a hardware/lumber store that the Wife and I had been waiting for. We went and it was disappointing. Out of our list, NOTHING we wanted was there. The lawnmowers were way over priced. Like a $99 cheapie was $350 CI
I wanted a shovel, and they had one shovel like the one I wanted (Almost) and it was $44. With 20% off would have made it about 36.
I went down the road and got a shovel I’m much happier with for $12.
Sunday morning, while the wife was still sleeping, I rode my bicycle to the beach for a couple of hours, then came back for breakfast.
My wife download ‘Queen, A Night at the Opera’ for me, and I listened to it yesterday-twice. I haven’t heard that album since it was on vinyl.

And now it’s Monday!
