Late post today. It’s almost lunchtime. I had a rough morning. I woke up severely brain damaged from sleep. Coffee didnt help. But I cranked some tunes in the van on my way to work and it got me goin’
Music does what coffee can’t! Sometimes.
Last night I dreamed I was in a plane, or flying a plane, dodging missiles. I ended up in the water, and I remember filling my lungs with air to compensate my one piece jumpsuit soaking up the water and pulling me down. I woke up, planning on getting rid of my boots, then flightsuit, and would I have enough time to do this before I drowned?
I love the water, and spend all the time in it I can, but I think drowning would be one of the worst ways to die. That’s the message I got from that dream. That and one should wea a life jacket at all times, even if you’re a good swimmer.
It was an entertaining dream though, I didn’t get hit by the first missile and I remember seeing the horizion spin completely around as I was maneuvering. I saw missiles that missed fly past in front of me. I don’t remember getting hit, just suddenly being in the water, in a school of tiny fish, many of them jumping out of the water.
And now I’m awake, tired already, headed to work. Have a good day, wear a lifejacket.

Have a good week!
Well, the government decided that the beaches will remain closed, at least till the beginning of next month. I was doing some math, and I figure my house has plenty of sundeck space, and what’s missing is the water. What we really need, is a pool…
We used to have one of these, they’re good for a year before the top ring starts getting sunburned. Maybe it’s time for another one…
I’m thinking it is!
Happy Friday!
For some odd reason, I feel good today. And I can tell, which is also odd, because with no reference I usually think I feel the same.
Oh well, I’ll take it! Not complaining.
Not much going on, no news is good news. Hopefully, they’ll open the beaches tomorrow.
Have a good day!
This morning, before work, actually, On my way to work, I’m stopping by the grocery store. I have a list.
Last night I got a call out of the blue from a really good friend who was on the USS Brewton with me. Tango Whiskey Sierra. More than 35 years since we last spoke.
More and more of my friends are retired. No retirement in sight for me. Not ever. None of my pensions are worth a crap. I gonna have to take half a day vacation time for my own funeral, then it’ll be back to work. This covid thing going on make me think I wouldn’t enjoy retirement anyway.
Speaking of back to work, I gotta go, via the grocery store.
Have a good day
Yesterday was a holiday here in the Cayman Islands, so today is the first day of the workweek, if you’re unfortunate enough (or lucky enough) to be working
Good news on the BBC this morning, talk of re-opening some businesses and starting to relax the restrictions implemented because of covid 19.
Bad news too, the 40 beach partiers messed everything up for the 63,000 others on these islands. Beaches will remain closed till at least Friday. I think it’s a psychology thing. Instead of saying “indefinitely” or “untill further notice”, you give a date, then keep extending it. Gives the people hope, or a goal. Light at the end of the tunnel.
Tomorrow I may venture to the grocery store again…
Have a good week~
So, the beaches are now closed, hopefully only until the end of today (Easter Monday) but probably beyond, thanks specifically to about 40 people out having a drinking party (under the guise of exercise) on good Friday. Hope they all got arrested and get the maximum fine of $3000. That’s $120,000 to help the economy recover after this is all over.
There were other “gatherings” too, but these 40 were specifically mentioned during the press conference the closure was announced. Below is a newspaper clip:
Plus give them the max prison sentence for screwing it up for everyone. For the record, there are no “private” beaches in the Cayman Islands.
Instead of her beach walk this morning, my wife is taking a road walk. This upsets me. These drunks thought they could have a normal beach drinking party and if the police come, they could just say they were all there exercising.
I’m very angry about it.
This would be a long weekend coming up, with Friday and Monday holidays. They’re still holidays, but with this covid 19 thing goin’ on, it kinda messes it up.
My wife called me at work yesterday and asked me to go to the grocery store. I was kinda upset, ’cause I woulda gone first thing in the morning, had I known. But, the stores are restricted by last name/day, plus they’d be closed for the aforementioned holiday weekend. So I went.
Went to one store, couldn’t even get a paking spot. Went to the second, showed my airport ID, and got in the line, pictured above. It goes ahead in front me, just as far as you can see, then turns abruptly right and U-turns back and forth two or three times under the the pavillion thingy you see sticking out near the center of the pic. Well, lucky me, the policeman I showed my ID to walked alll the way down to where I was and got me and took me to the front of the line, because I was a working guy. It easlily halved my time at the store. Thank you Policeman!
AND, at work yesterday was a really cool bicycle, leaning up against the Air Traffic tower. I have no idea whose it was, but it was cool! I want one! Wonder if it can go on the beach!??!
Long and lean, big ‘ol fat tires. Looked sooo cool! There’s a phone number on the bike for the company…
Have a great day!
Yesterday afternoon I did a little touch up on the painting from day before. Fixed one spot and messed up another that I should have left alone.
I will say this, for the first time in history, I had two identical cans of paint that were supposed to be the same color, actually were the same color.
The sun coming up this morning is a red orange orb the camera can’t capture
I’m kinda crabby this morning. Dogs weren’t cooperative this morning, walk cut short. No reason, really.
I’m ready to get to work, I feel like getting a lot done. Stop me from thinking…
Have a good day!
