Thursday… this week is going slow. seems like a long time since the weekend.
Today is payday but the money showed up in my account yesterday. So I paid the bills yesterday and now I’m broke till next payday again. Not really, but I’m trying to stick to my budget.
Beautiful sunrise this morning. I suppose my sunrise pictures all look about the same to you.
Ready for my first cup of coffee this morning. dogs fed, cats fed, dogs walked. ready for coffee.
Last night the Wife and I and four people she knows through work went to Ortanique, a trendy kinda restaurant at a mall named Camana Bay.
I was not impressed.
Started out, we sat down. The waiter came over, nice guy, real chatty. He went to get us water and drinks. A while later, a waitress comes over and gives three of us water, and leaves. I guess she had only a tiny bottle of water. Later the waiter came back with our drinks, and we had to ask for the water.
Finally, after after what seemed a really long time, everyone had water. Nobody ever asked me what I wanted to drink, I tend to be quiet when the wine list is going around, as I don’t drink alcohol, so nobody asked and I drank water all night.
Later, someone brought us a bread basket with three pieces of bread in it. Remember, it’s a table of six. There’s a notice on the menu “First round of garlic bread is on us”.
I ordered the “Caribbean Jerk Penne Pasta”. It was approximately a cup of pasta, and not more than half a chicken breast, cut up. I ate it in about two minutes. It was tiny. I should have taken a picture. The plate was this big round disk, with a tiny bowl dent in the center. It was huge but it wouldn’t hold a cup of water. Redonklulous.
The waiter asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu, we all said no, except my Wife said she’d have a look. The waiter brought one dessert menu for her. I don’t know the rules, but I think it’s politeness when people say they don’t want to see the dessert menu, and when one person says OK, it’s like an ice breaker, and the waiter should bring everyone dessert menus in case anyone changes their mind…. like I said, I was still hungry after my tiny fistful of pasta and I partly said no to the menu because everyone else did. Plus I was ready to leave so I could go get something to eat!
SOOOOOOOO anyway, (this is unbelievable) On the dessert menu, there were maybe 10 things. (I don’t know for sure because I never saw the menu) Of those 10 things, they didn’t have 8 of them. The waiter went through all the things they didn’t have, ranted about how great they were. Two of our six ordered dessert, which was a high number, considering only one of us had a menu. I was feeling pretty invisible at this point. And irritated.
The final kicker offer is the bill. The waiter left the black leather bill holder thing on our table, “No rush, take your time, this is just so that you won’t have to wait on me later when you want to check out.” Pretty nice, I hate waiting for them to bring the bill. Half hour later, when those that had drinks finished them and those that had dessert finished it. I open the bill. It’s not ours. It’s an already-signed credit card sheet, a bunch of cash, it’s someones bill who already paid and left. So I got up and went and got our bill. We paid and got out of there. I came home and had a major snack, because I was starving.
I think there are really no good restaurants at Camana Bay. They’re all the trendy, tiny portion, overpriced places to be seen instead of to eat. In fact, I never liked Camana Bay at all. when I go there I feel like I’m in the middle of nowhere, and everything is unreal, like I’m at the set of a play. It looks like a trendy shopping mall place, but it’s all fake props. It’s creepy to me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice place, well built, good design. But there’s this nagging feeling I have when I’m there…
That’s my post. Have a good day!!
Well, Monday is gone. now it’s Tuesday. payday is day after tomorrow.
Last night we went to dinner at Macabuca. It was pretty good food and there was a nice sunset.
Yesterday in town it rained hard almost all day. West Bay didn’t get drop. I couldn’t go on my beach lunch yesterday because of the rain and I was on the scooter. Now it’s nice and clear but I wonder it’s going to rain again today. 30 percent chance haha!
We’ve had a new coffee maker now for about a week. I suppose it makes acceptable coffee. It is one of those Keurig kinds with the canister.
My studying has been going extremely slow. I’m afraid I’m going to have to get up even earlier in order to study and accomplish anything.
That’s it for today. Have a terrific Tuesday!
It was a good weekend. Seemed like a long weekend. Don’t really what remember what I did all weekend. Went to the beach.
Saturday I went to you the cigar store and the beach. The Wife had to work. I went and saw her at work.
Yesterday we did some yard work and watched TV. The Wife supervised the yard work which consisted of trimming a tree. She gets the cast off her leg in 2 weeks.
Redskins lost to Dallas and it doesn’t get any worse that. The referees were blatantly biased. The Skins would have lost anyway though.
Now it’s Monday and I’m feeding the cats and ready to go to work.
Have a good week!
Today I’m posting some stale old pictures I took yesterday. Sorry I don’t have any fresher pictures, but these cost you less!
Yesterdays lunchtime snorkel was a really good one, as you know, I go almost every day, but yesterday was extra good.
It started with a Lionfish.
Then I turned around and was surprised that a huge school of fish was so close to me.
I’ve seen this school of fish before, and I think this is the same barracuda, but now the school seems much bigger.
I like how the fish give the Bara his own space.
Quite a large barracuda for Cayman!
I’ll be going back to day for sure, to see if I can find them again, or see what else I can find!
I’m glad it’s Friday, although I did wake up nervous and antsy this morning. I feel like I’m not in a good mood for no reason.But don’t worry, I’ll get back on the beam, nothing can keep me down on a Friday!!!!!
Every morning My alarm goes off at 5, I get up, turn on the BBC and shave and shower. I get dressed, walk the dogs, feed the cats and chickens. Some days it takes longer than others, depending on the dogs. Today was one of those mornings, where it’s like dragging two rocks around on a rope. They both wanted to go different directions.
Then they stop and stare up the road. They do everything except poop and pee. Finally, when I start heading back to the house, THEN they decide it’s time to head to the nearest bushes and take care of business. Why can’t they get out there, water the grass, lay down the big stinkie, and head back inside? Bip! Boom! Bam!
But then comes the big excitement when I finally do get all the animals taken care of, and I realize there’s nothing between me and a cup of COFFEE! Hoo RAY!
Hoo Ray rhymes with Thursday! (kinda) And that means that tomorrow is FRIDAY!
Hoo Ray! Havea good day!
This is the first time I have used my computer to post a post since a long time ago when I was talking about eliminating Microsoft Windows from my life. I have been using my phone and Tablet for everything.
Well, yesterday and this morning, I have been collecting photos from Dropbox, my tablet and phone and all my flash drives and everywhere I have been stashing them and filing them on my (Windows) computer. It was a lot of work, I sort photos by month, day and year. So I’ve been making folders and moving files quite a bit lately.
Below are several pictures from the last two days.
I slept late this morning, I went to bed about 8, woke up at midnight, back to bed about 2, then the alarm went off at 5. I set a timer for 30 minutes and slept till about 5:30. Now I’m trying to study, post this post and drink weak coffee all at the same time.
I just realized that the test I’ve been trying to take covers two chapters, and I’ve only studied one…..
Have a good day! HUMPDAY!
I’m sleepy this morning, stayed up late watching Monday Night American Football, Jets at Atlanta. Jets won, which is what I wanted.
I didn’t plan on staying up, but the game was really good. Jets were ahead the whole game, with Atlanta right on their asses, then Atlanta pulled ahead at the very end, then Jets won with a field goal with three seconds left
After the alarm went off this morning, I laid there for a second thinking “this must be Wednesday, this week’s been too long already.” Then I remembered Football and thought “Oh yeah, Tuesday.”
It’s all good though, we’ve been having a patch of good weather, beach snorkeling lunches, can’t complain.
I guess that’ll do ‘er for today. Have a good day!
Monday morning, pretty early.i see a little Sun coming up and hear chickens roosters crowing and squawking.
Had a good weekend, Saturday did yard work Sunday went diving.
I have a project going on, To clear the bush that’s invading our property line. It is going to be a huge job. There’s a lot of bush and rock and roots.
Above is a picture of the start. You can see the PVC pole marking the line. I have to go all the way back to the other corner of the yard. No rush.
I reckon that’ll doer for today. Have a good week and don’t forget to tip your waitress
All week, when the alarm goes off at 5AM, I have been sound asleep, disturbed from a most pleasant place. All week I was looking forward to today, Saturday, the Great Day of the No-Alarm, and what happens? Yup, I woke up at 5 anyway.
So right now, as we we speak, I am feeding chickens, after feeding cats and walking dogs. Soon will come coffee. (We got a new coffee maker BTW, and so far, I am NOT impressed. The first cup was good, #2 and #3 tasted like plastic.)
(5 minutes later)
Now I am drinking cup number 4, seems OK. It’s a Keurig coffee maker BTW.
I’ve attached a picture of my greasy headed self because after all, the pic makes (in this case maybe breaks) the post! Have a good weekend!
