An Alternate Path?
It was a really good weekend. We had a friend of a friend visit, I went diving. And we went to the weigh-in of a fishing contest. While at the marina where the weigh-in was, I saw the sailboat above. The wife and I talked to the owners for about a half hour. Man O man, when I run into cool people like them, I feel like I could have taken an alternate path in this existence and been happy too. While I love my life here, I sure would love to be on a sailboat, sailing around the world. They had great stories to tell in just the short time we talked. Hightailing it out of Colombia, after running into problems with the government, then hitting rough seas and considering turning back. Through the Panama Canal. We didn’t even scratch the surface, hearing the stories.
I could live that life.
Now it’s back to work, beach lunch and maybe a barbecue tonight.
Life is good, it’s too short, but life is good!
Have a good week!
Goodweekend
It’s Monday after a good weekend.
I went to the beach and laid on my sundeck. The only productive thing I did all weekend was plant some bougainvilleas. Thank you spell checker.
Work should be busy this week. I’m going to try to not get emotionally involved.
That’s it! Have a good week.
Mastic Trail Picture Post
Sunday the Wife and I hiked the Mastic Trail round trip. Below are some photos:

It was a good hike, we were both tired when we got home. Sunday I did some painting and fixed our ice machine.
Have a good week!
Can’t Get Going Monday
Got up, showered and dressed, sitting zombie-like in the sofa ever since.
We went and saw Sponge Bob 3D last night and I have a popcorn hangover. I probably ate at least 6 cubic inches of popcorn.
It was a good movie though. Especially the 3D effects.
Have a good week, talk to you tomorrow!
First 2015 Weekend
It was a good weekend, they’re always good.
We have a visitor here from Minnesota. It’s super cold up there. She’s been sick. Yesterday was her first day at the beach. I didn’t go, I was home, clearing the branches off trees that hang over into our yard. I cut a lot of wood! It made a huge difference in the back half of the back yard, it’s much brighter. Maybe some grass will grow there now.
Kinda not looking forward to work today, first full week of the year, first week in a few weeks. Hope it doesn’t seem too long, or too painful. The wife has the day off, she’s going to Rum Point with Martina, our guest.
I’m sitting here on the back porch, under an orange light bulb, watching the full moon go down behind the trees. It’s just starting to get light. Faint glow. Did you ever notice that in the winter the moon follows the path of the summer sun in the sky? And in summer the moon follows the path of the winter sun? That’s why it’s winter here and summer in New Zealand.
I feel like I could go on for a long time, but that’ll do for today! Have a good week!
Busy, Productive Weekend
It was a good weekend.
Saturday morning I went to the beach. Then at noon I went to town and rented a big jackhammer. Then Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning I dug 3 big holes in the yard and planted 3 trees, an avocado, a breadfruit tree, and a Desert Rose. The desert rose is more like a bush than a tree. Then that evening was the Wife’s works Christmas party, we played Miniature golf and then went and had a dinner. 17 years on the island, and that was the first time I had ever been to the mini golf course. It was fun!
Yesterday afternoon I went to the cigar bar with a friend and smoked two big fat cigars and watched American Football. For once I was not disappointed in the football.
One thing that didn’t get done this weekend was that I need to re-caulk the bathtub, and I meant to clean my “desk” and fold and put away the clothes I have piled up on top of Sheba’s kennel. That’s one thing I didn’t get done.
Well, the whole weekend fits into a couple of short paragraphs.
Happy Monday! This is the start of the big week!
Weekend Haps!
It was a good weekend, and way too short.
On a cold and dreary Saturday, we went to a little girls 5th birthday party. It was an incredible amount of fun, and I am sure the water was warmer than the air.
Every single picture I took is incredible, seems to me. Little kids are perfect beings. I had the warm fuzzies all day.
Sunday I studied for my real estate test, which apparently I was supposed to take last week. I was planning on going to the USA last week and told the lady, but I guess there was some mis-communication. I think I have lost my interest in real estate.,,
Also we went out and watched every team I like lose at American Football. Except Cincinnati and Seattle, they won. Redskins played good but lost anyway.
And now we are at a Monday morning. We’ll see what happens!
We have a hostage situation in Australia, some Muslim kid took hostages at a cafe and that’s been going on for about 12 hours. Flying a home made ISIS flag, asking for a real one. Idiot.
Have a good week!
New Street Sign and Weekend Report!
It was a really nice weekend. Saturday I ran errands while the Wife made cupcakes. I got the lawnmower fixed and mowed the yard. Sunday I made the above street sign out a piece of bamboo while the wife applied icing to afore mentioned cupcakes. Then we took afore mentioned, iced cupcakes to the beach for a friends birthday party.
I’m not too sure I’m completely happy with the house sign. My brush was too big to get down in the letters and I’m not sure I like the colors. I’m not happy with the strength of the wire hanging mechanism, and it’s hanging crooked. Don’t get me wrong, I like it, but I may fiddle with it some more.
I was going to try a palm tree instead of the sun, but the sun was so much easier and matched the colors I had on hand. I’m pretty happy with the smiling sun.
That’s my Monday post, have a good week!
A Successful Weekend
I looked up successful weekend on the internet and found this:
Nah, A successful weekend to me is coming home Friday, and not leaving the compound till Monday
It was a windy cold cloudy weekend, perfect for staying home, which is what I did.
Saturday I got up, drank some coffee, then took a nap, and got up again, all before most people even get up the first time. I’m kinda an overachiever like that. Sunday I took a really really good nap around noon, I don’t know how long I was out for, but it was a deep deep sleep.
Football was good yesterday, Redskins lost but there were a lot of really close games.
Now it’s a ho hum Monday. Looking forward to getting a lot done this week, not talking about work either.
That’ll do’er for today, have a good week!
