Discovery Day 2021

Right now, on this date in the 1503, at the precise moment you are reading this, Christopher Columbus discovered the Cayman Islands.

It’s a bank holiday today, and I have the day off work. Instead, I will be doing houseworkand possibly yard work.

Have a wonderful week!

Caption This

On my phone, I have a photo album entitled “Photo Comments.” A lot of stuff like ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ and several silly meme.

But the above picture, I’ve never been able to use. It’s ridiculous, but doesn’t fit any theme. So, dear readers, what can I use it for? Happy Friday!

Dreamy Night

I had dreams last night. First, I was on the beach, at my normal lunchtime spot, but there was a cave or small round door in this erosion wall that’s been there for a while. I was getting ready to crawl in when I saw my indoor cat, Ashy,, laying on a towel on the sand in front of the door. (Ashy kept trying to go outside yesterday while I was unloading groceries.) Then I looked down and discovered I had barely missed stepping in a huge pile of horse crap. I mean huge, so huge, the “h” is silent.

The other dream I remember is that I was on a small balcony, with a small table, like a hotel. I was laying out my dive gear. I looked over and on another balcony was a girl in her swimsuit, laying out her dive gear too. She gave me an unfriendly look. l reached into my pocket and pulled out an orange, wrist mounted electronic compass that didn’t work. (Which is why I took it off) but for the first time, I noticed it had a small magnetic compass on the wristband too. I watched the arrow-needle swing back and forth as it came to a rest on north.

And that’s my dreams of last night. It feels like Friday but it’s not, it’s prefriday. Have a wonderful day!

Don’t Know What To Tell Ya

She started moving out. Her clothes are gone, plants and pictures gone. We’ll see what more is gone when I get home from work today.

I wish her well!

Had a dream last night, there was a main hallway, and a back parallel hallway. The (ex) Wife’s best friend wanted to, but was aftaid to go down the back hallway by herself so I went with her. I don’t know what she was afraid of, it was a well lit, nice hallway. Reminded me of a school hallway with doors and windows to rooms. She seemed really happy I went with her, I never got the feeling she liked me very well in real life.

Ya Know What Grinds My Gears?

YouTube “videos” that are really slideshows. That really gets under my skin. There ought to be a special rule or category so you know it’s not a video before you click it.

The above was in a list of topics to post for when I can’t think of a topic.

Today the wife starts moving out. I’m sure I’ll be shocked when I get home tonight. I want to take pictures of everything so I can remember what it was like. I’m going to miss her and her stuff.

Talk to you tomorrow.

My Videos on TikTok

Queen Angelfish

Had a pretty nice weekend. Saturday went birdwatching with the wife. There is some kind of bird inventory going on. Also Saturday I made some slow cooker Barbecue that came out really good, I thought. Sunday, I went diving and posted the two videos above on TikTok. I like the music. TikTok is a pretty entertaining app. Find me if you have it, I’m MCD6D.

Tomorrow the wife starts moving out. I guess she will proceed with a divorce pretty quickly. I still don’t have a reason for her leaving except she “feels different”. I am not having an easy time coping.

Have the best week you can possibly have!

Parasites Brainwash Grasshoppers Into Suicide

Do not panic, this article is from 2005. But it is kind of terrifying. I saw something similar done to a human in the science documentary Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. They put the parasite in Chekov’s ear and it affected his brain.

Friday! Finally! It’s shaping up to be a nice weekend. Diving Sunday, Early beach morning Saturday.

Yesterday I had a first aid class for work, When I was an active scuba instructor, I was an active first aid instructor for teaching rescue diver. And I was first aid trained as a lifeguard too. A lot has changed in the first aid world over the years.

I hope you have a pleasant weekend!

British Airways Landing

Yesterday , coming back to work from lunch, my motorcycle dash cam caught the BA 777 landing. I think it’s quite cool. Please watch the 22 second video below.

I could smell the burnt rubber from the landing gear hitting the tarmac.

Today, for work, I have a first aid class. I’m looking forward to the break in my routine.

Have a happy Prefriday

Phone Case Mod 1

I modified my phone case yesterday. The phone was too big, and the velcro barely touched and it wouldn’t stay closed. So I bought one button (30 cents) and sewed it on wilh dental floss, then added the brass grommet and not one but two girls hair thingies. (“Hair thingy” is the proper scientific name, so I’ve been told.)

And below is a picture of me holding the sun between two fingers.

I’m sure I’ve taken a nearly identical picture before.

Have a great day!

Mel Gibson as Sean Connery

looks like Sean Connery

Last night we watched “Force Of Nature” on Netflix. I was ok, not great. But look at the picture of Mel Gibson above. Doesn’t it look like Sean Connery? I think so.

It’s Tuesday, Seems like I’m just living for the weekends.

Have a WONDERFUL day!
