Excellent Weekend !

it was a really good weekend. I went out with my Dinner Club Friday night, had a really good meal with a lot of friends.

Saturday I finally finished my yard. I also installed a screen door which I purchased Friday to keep the mosquitoes out. And did laundry.

while mowing, I found this huge piece of glass in the back of my back yard, sitting right out in the open. Tell me, where on earth it could have come from? How could it possibly have gotten there?

in the news, are Romanian tick tokker won the presidential election, completely surprising both parties and all the bean counters who predict the winner. It isn’t final yet though. That would have been great in the US. Shock and awe! 🙂

Now it’s Monday, time to go back to work. I’m not ready.need another day off..Oh well..

Have a great week!

A Front

Grand Cayman had (has) its first cold front moving through about now. We got a lot of wind, maybe some more rain.

Above is a picture from our dawg walk this morning. Waves.Wind.

Have a great weekend!

One Is MUCH More Familiar

Below are both ends of the check-in page on InSight Timer. You’re asked to check in when you open the app in the morning.

There’s other levels in-between, good, ok and bad. Only the best and worst are shown here. I have never, ever in more than a thousand check-ins selected anything below OK. 99.999% of the time, I select “Good” or “Great”.

But the reality, when I look at the lists above, a lot of the words on the “Great” list, I’d have a hard time defining if asked, On the “awful” list, well, I sure know what that all mean, AND I feel a lot of them daily, even though it’s a “good” or “great” day.

For the description, I usually select only grateful, because I don’t have, or am aware of feeling the others.

For example , yesterday I bought my tickets to Panama, I’m staying in a great place in the mountains and it’s going to be really good. I think. I should I should be able to select “excited”, on today’s, but I don’t, feel excited, I just feel like I always do.

The purpose of this is to point out the interesting observation, and maybe see if anyone else has a similar trait. (I find myself worried about my choice of words here, but I hope you know what I mean).

Have a great day!

Land Mines?

The way I see it, Joe Biden made no decisions and has had very little impact his entire 50 plus year political career. Now that he’s voted out, he’s trying to damage the stage for his successor.

He could have approved the long range missiles before he wasn’t reelected, and landmines? Joe Biden approved the use of landmines in Ukraine yesterday. Those are just the worst thing. And don’t tell me they’re okay because they use batteries and will wear out after a while. Civilized Nations don’t use landmines anymore.

As an undecided who hasn’t lived in the US for decades, it looks more and more like the voters made the right choice.

ATC

yesterday I took this picture of our air traffic control tower. I thought it was a pretty cool picture. I took it next to the door that goes into my office.

I’m running super late today I have to get going! Have a great day!!

2024 Pirates Week Sea Swim and

Here I am again after another long, incessant night. I don’t think I slept much at all.

It was a good weekend though, Saturday was the Pirates Week Sea Swim. I finished second place in my age group, (out of 2!)

There was an Olympic swimmer there, swimming. I must point out that I started after him, and finished before him! Way before him!! Of course he was swimming 5k, and I was swimming 1k. So he was doing five laps and I was just doing one.. but I’ll omit the second half of that story!

It was a cloudy day, but a good swim.

Saturday afternoon, it was so cloudy, dark and lugubrious from inside the house it looked like it was night time. I had to keep the lights on indoors just to see.

Sunday I went to a very challenging 90 minute yoga class, and then I did yard work for most of the afternoon. I trimmed my nasty sticker bush hedges. I wish I had taken a before and after shot of the bushes after I trimmed them. I trimmed the holy hell out of them. I bled less than normal during the trimming process. I also cleared away the area outside my yard fence that I try to keep clear of weeds and bushes.

my lawnmower is still in the shop and I should be getting it back today. Hope I can finish mowing the yard without breaking it again! Lol!

it should be pretty nice weather, now that the work week is here. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Too Hot!

I threw it away. It’s too hot. No matter how little you use, it’s too much Yesterday evening I put one teaspoon in a big vat of chicken breast and white rice and ruined it.

I’m not even sure hot is the right word, it can’t be weakened. It’s more like putting paint or rat poison in your food. One molecule of this stuff in your mouth produces, for me, a toxic result.

it is still cloudy and rainy. I think we’re getting less rain than expected though.

Tomorrow is a sea swim. I hope it’s not pouring. One year the swim was stopped mid-swim because of thunder. I hope it’s either good weather or canceled. Not crappy weather and the swim.

Happy Friday, have a good weekend!

Skylight Spiritual Wellness

The Skylight App is apparently closing down. I didn’t think they could maintain the quality they had without fees. They wouldn’t let you pay even if you wanted to. Apparently. I looked.

if you didn’t know about this app, be consisted of videos about meditation, exercise, yoga, religion, and talks and a whole bunch of different categories. Extremely high quality.

Sad to see them go. They were the best.

It is very windy and off-and-on rainy here. TD 19 below us. Cayman is in the 4-6 inches of rain zone Hurricane season is over November 30th. Hope Mother Nature remembers that.

Have a great day!

Rough Mowing But Good Weekend!

Normally it takes less than 90 minutes to mow my yard. Yesterday, after 2 hours I was about 4/5 of the way done with the front. First of my lawn mower deck somehow got bent and the blade was hitting it so I had to hammer that back out. Then finally the string broke that you used to start it and I had no replacement. Today I’m going to try to haul the lawn mower down to the repair shop because it has multiple problems that I’ve been jury rigging since I got it back from the repair shop last time. Like the dead man switch is bypassed and there’s a little door on the side of the deck that flies open and debris flies out of it all over the place. Quite dangerous

On a positive note, it was a very nice weekend with mostly good weather and scuba diving. Above are some pictures from this weekend and I believe one from last weekend.

AAaaand I was hoping hurricane season was over a couple weeks early but it looks like we’ll get one more fling from this year’s hurricane season.. ho hum.

Have a great day and a great week!
