New Dawg Day!

Today I’m picking up Lenny the new dog! We had the home inspection yesterday. We passed! With 5 cats and one dog, we are pretty much able to meet the Humane Society’s stringent requirements for animal living conditions.

I’m glad it’s Friday. I think it’s a good idea to start the year with a short week. Should be mandatory.

Have a good weekend!

Topic Drought?

Well, it’s Thursday. Yesterday and today I have that vague blank feeling of emptiness when I start my post. I’m wondering if another topic recession is coming my way.

I doubt it, ‘because tomorrow we’re getting another dawg! This morning, I was looking at our furniture, thinking “wonder if the dog’s gonna chew that up?” and “wonder if he’ll wreck this rug?”

Animal pictures always cure a blog-post-lack-of-topic-stretch.

Today the humane society is supposed to do the home inspection, to determine if our house is suitable for dogs, tomorrow I should be picking up Lenny!

Have a great day!

First Day At Work, 2019

My clockwork morning routine seemed a little rusty this morning. Seems like a long time since I was last there, which is good.

It’s supposed to be a nice day, and I’d love to take the scooter, but I need the cargo capacity of the van. Need gas grill fuel and a few other things.

Also the Humane Society is coming to do a home inspection, to see it our place is luxurious for Lenny. That will be fun for me! No house is a better dog house than our house!

Have a great first-week-of-2019!

Happy 2019!

Fireworks from our roof

Last night we went to some 9:00 PM fireworks and were home by 10:30. It was usual fireworks, like you’ve seen a quadrazillion bajillion times, so this year, instead of videoing the fireworks, I videoed the guy shooting off the fireworks.

Although we got home early, we ended up staying up till midnight, and watched the main fireworks from our roof. (I made the GIF at the top of this post from a telephone video)

Also, we’re getting a new dog probably this Friday! His name is Lenny, formerly known as Boots.

Visiting Lenny, formerly named Boots.

Happy 2019 from our house to yours!

Cigar Dinner at Le Vele

Le Menu
The dinner table

On the 29th, (day-before-ysterday) I went to a La Casa Del Habano’s cigar dinner at Le Vele restaurant. It was very good. We had a Cohiba Robusto before dinner, which was really nice (both the cigar AND the dinner) and we had a Punch Double Corona after dinner. I had a good time, good conversation with people from all over the world, and I was the very last person to leave.

I sat on the corner of the long table, next to a friend of mine, Sergio. from Mexico. Everyone calls him El Matador. I discovered Sergio has a counterpart to my Travlin’ Tim, El Mini Matador.

El Mini Matador

El Mini Matador critiques restaurants around the world, as well as cigar dinners and wine fests. He has a wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other.

El Mini Matador made me re-think Travlin’ Tim… Travlin’ Tim usually stays at home, except when I get on a plane. I have a smaller gnome that could go anywhere with me. He could get some good photo ops. Got me thinking…

Today is New Years Eve, tonight the wife and I are going up to Cobalt Coast Resort, I have a friend from the US visiting there, and we and another couple are going there to be with them. And they have fireworks are at 9PM, perfect for an early-to-bed guy like me! The wife and I will probably end up awake at midnight, watching the rest of the fireworks from our roof, like always.

So I hope you have a safe New Years Eve, and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2019. And I’ll see ya next year!

I hate that when that happens…

People type “LOL” all the time, I don’t know about anybody else, but I seldom “LOL” when I’m alone. But the pic below is an actual “LOL” for me.

Happens way too often…

By the way, I read that people prefer it if you type “Ha ha” instead of “LOL”.

Happy Thursday!

Days Mixing Up

It’s Wednesday, thought it was Thursday.

Christmas Day was great! We opened presents, then went to brunch at one friends house and dinner at another. Today I should mow the yard, but I’ll probably put it off another day.

This morning, I got up at about the the normal time, well, about 10 minutes late, 5:10, and walked the dog, and did my normal routine.

Don’t have much to post about, The weather looks pretty good, quite windy still, but not too cloudy. Rekkon I might ride my bicycle to the beach, depending on the wife’s plans this fine day.

Maybe I will mow the yard…

Got a comment on the previous post from Chris, at Diet Coke Rocks, that she sent me a stuffed robot doll that she made, I sure hope it gets here, I’m excited! Things almost always take longer to get to the Cayman Islands, so there’s still hope that it’s not lost!

I guess, most places, today is a workday, but here, it’s Boxing Day, and it’s a holiday, which is good! Below is a snippet from Wikipedis about Boxing day. I didn’t know this particular fact. Now my cynnical mind thinks that we have is as a holiday, so our bosses don’t have to give us a present. (Kidding)

Boxing Day, from Wikipedia.

So have a great day, whether you’re working or not!

Workin Monday. Bah Humbug!

Getting ready for work, still coolish, windy, cloudy.

Didn’t sleep worth a durn last night. Went to bed at 9, woke up at 12:30 and got up. Tried to lay back down, and without even realizing it, I found myself up again. Wandering around the house, puttering with this dang computer I’ve been working on.

I’m just as grumpy as can be, and I’m looking forward to getting to work, sitting at my desk, and busting ass.

Had a Nor’wester over the weekend. Big waves and seaweed all over Georgetown, Tore up the concrete at a bar called Macabuca up here in West Bay.

Above ar pictures from town, WhatsApp-ed me by a friend. (I have no idea who Trenwick Miller is)

Have a Great week! And Merry Christmas!

Slow Flow Internet

Something’s wrong with our internet this morning, it is slow to non-existant. I can’t post under these conditions.

It’s a cold, rainy, windy morning, the wind from the north, while yesterday it was blowing hard from the south. I didn’t even walk this morning, I went outsie, said “Nope!” and came back in.

I’m concerned because Mad Dog Mattis resigned.

Hope you have a great weekend!
