What a yesterday

Yesterday was a day. For sure.

First I collected some big rocks for our circle. I planted all the plants earlier.

Then I went to the beach with my wife. It was nice, but these kids scammed me out of my cigar lighter. First one guy asked me if I had a lighter. I said yes and pulled out my lighter. He said he wanted one he could take to his boat. I said sorry, I need mine.

Later, a kid came over- “My uncle wants to know if he can borrow your lighter, we are just going to use it over there.” I figured they were going to fire up a spliff over in the trees, so after making the kid promise he’d bring it right back, I let him take it.
They were gone gone gone.

Then I came home, and got a Facebook virus, which sent out messages with the virus to all my Facebook friends. How embarrassing. I was suckered yesterday.

Cayman Islands taken over by pirates! Governor Captured!

Saturday the Cayman Islands was attacked and taken over by Pirates. No one was injured (except hangovers) but the Governor’s stunt double was taken hostage.
This reporter happened to be there and at great personal risk and danger, got the story:
It was a normal weekend downtown,

Like normal, the Governor was there with his normal security contingent.

Suddenly a pirate ship appeared!

Heroically realizing instantly that attack was inevitable, I quickly and heroically and at great personal risk and danger, (and minor personal inconvenience), disguised myself as one of them, (So I could get the story)

I heroically was able to save my Wife by getting her disguised too!
The pirate ship fired upon and destroyed the George Town Fort!

Ironically, the pirates had to be transferred to a tender to come ashore. This may have been the Governments Defensive flaw! If the government provided no tender, would have the pirates been able to come ashore? No one will ever know!

The pirates overwhelmed the tight security and captured the Governor!

The captured Governor was paraded as hostage!

Wild mayhem ensued, there was pirate revelry in the streets!


Out of control madman, on a captured human steed!

Seems like more than one shipful of pirates!
Pirate Fiends!

No one can predict what will happen next, the pirates are in control! If you don’t have travel plans to visit the Cayman Islands, make some! We need all the help we can get!

Pirates Week 09

Pirates week has started. The government was talking about changing the name, but I think they backed off of that. Last night was the opening street party and fireworks. Today is the landing.


Friday the 13th, my lucky day

Friday the 13ths have always seemed lucky to me. I can’t think of any specifics, but I’ve always felt that way.
I have the day off today. That’s lucky.

Yesterday I had an estimate to get a roof over the front porch. It is an area 6 feet wide and 34 feet long. They quoted me 2500 dollars for a 3 inch thick insulated poly roof with aluminum skin. Plus an additional 1850 if I wanted it screened in. That’s about 21 dollars a square foot. I can get brick and electrical wiring and light fixtures and marble floors for 21 dollars a square foot. Can’t I?

Sleep

Last night we were so tired that we went to sleep at about 8PM. The Wife, of course is an expert sleeper, and slept all the way till morning. I woke up at midnight, and was still wide awake for several hours. I finished my book, Fluke, By Christopher Moore. Really good read

Then I played some games on my phone, and when the alarm went off at 5:15, i was sleeping good.

I feel OK though, I got enough sleep. We’ll see how the day pans out.

Coffee

Lately it seems like I can’t make a decent cup of coffee. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve been making coffee every day almost forever, and the last couple of weeks something has been wrong. The Wife made some yesterday, and it was great, so it’s not the equipment, it’s me.

It’s a poor musician who blames his instrument.

Monday Holiday

Today is a holiday, Remembrance Day. Remember your veterans.

Friday was a holiday too. But I worked every day but today. The Wife is working today, but I guess I’ll go to the beach if I can.

Today is Thursday, Tomorrow here is a holiday, but I have to work. And I’m working Saturday, and Sunday. Monday is a holiday too, but it looks like I’m off for that one! Then Tuesday is back to the regular work-week!

I love my fukkin job because my job loves fukkin me!

Actually these days, I wonder if it’s my job that sucks or just my attitude, I think the latter.

My life is like a see-saw, when one thing gets worse, something else gets better. But the overall good-bad ratio (balance) seems to stay the same.
